Samsung Galaxy Note II VERIZON logo on home button??!

[heatgap]

This has to be a joke. I hope it's a joke. I was without fail going to be purchasing this device from Verizon for my mom's birthday. I just opened an article on Gizmodo.com that I couldn't believe.

Verizon you have done something truly atrocious here. Why? Why would you take from the face value of a device with your hideous logo plastered on the HOME button! Never before have you been so bold as to ruin a device with your logo. This is truly the equivalent of someone getting a face tattoo. This will prove once and for all that you CANNOT do anything you want. You will lose potential locked in buyers for this device because of this! Think before you act! This is beyond words. I hope for your sales sake you do not release the Galaxy Note II with a Verizon branded HOME button!! U-G-L-Y.

I am not exactly following why the complaint of a logo on the home button of the Samsung Galaxy Note II.  I mean do you hold your phone in front of peoples faces when making a call, using your apps, or even texting them?  It is visible to you and "maybe" someone who is admiring your phone.

Now let me ask you one simple question.  If you owened a business that was making $3,000 a month in a small country town, and decided to add Coffee Mugs, T-Shirts and other branded items to your store so people could buy...ok?  Still following?

Now think about the XXX amount of customers you have buying these items, taking them back home to where ever home is, and they are just spreading the word about how awesome your shop was.  People see the merchandise and want to visit your store, which then increases your profits from $3,000 to over $10,000 a month just for providing branded items for your customers to buy.  Merchandise that YOUR customers WANTED to buy....catch my drift here?

I would imagine you have bought at least 1 branded item in your lifetime, so what makes this very small branding on a home button any different?  Not to mention it can be covered up with Home Button stickers they sell all over the internet for under $15 for a pack of 5-10!

Just sayin'

I agree with the OP as well as others showing the same sentiment. Verizon NEVER had any class and it's definitely a classless decision to put a company logo on the home button.

Seriously this is something to get upset over? Once again if you are ashamed of being a Verizon customer perhaps you shouldn't be one. People get killed by bombs in the street or fertilizer plants blowing up and your upset over a friggen logo on a small button.

If everyone just "accepted" things because there are more "important" things to worry about, the world wouldn't move past today. Your comment just made me think of this idiot co-worker I had who claimed atomic clocks and the precise time-keeping of atomic clocks are worthless because who cares if the time on a regular clock is off by a second or two.

There was a time everyone accepted the fact the sun moved around earth, so I'm sure looking into it further probably just waste of time to some people. I'm glad someone did look into it.
