Google has always been a great place to work, but occasionally stories leak out that make you want to immediately apply for a job. This is one of those stories — happy Google employees are reporting that each of them are receiving a very special gift for Christmas — their very own Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Ice Cream Sandwich reference phone retails for roughly £500 sim free, so that’s quite a Christmas bonus!

The Galaxy Nexus are a bit different than they normally look as well — they’ve got a unique back cover that shows off Google’s iconography and gives a rather unique look to the phone, as you can see.

It’s not known if the phones are different in any other way. The changes could only be cosmetic, but knowing Google, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if they ship with some custom firmware or perhaps an integrated Tazer or something.

Merry Christmas Googlers, and enjoy your new phones.
