A step in the right direction. Now let's see if Amazon, WireFly, etc., offer it for closer to $200 around release time.

$670 without a contract. I would have expected it to be more like $725.

It just showed up on Amazon as well, though their link doesn't go anywhere yet (go to wireless.amazon.com and look for Samsung phones on VzW).

Yeah I was prepared for $750
Not too bad, well yeah its bad but if you want something badly then suck it up lol

Getting a little closer on Amazon, but not all the way there yet.

Funny, my price on WireFly is still $669.99, not $659.

I am gonna pull the trigger very soon tho
Thing about online ordering is you get it a day or two late, not on Thursday.
Save on the sales tax tho so is a good tradeoff.

I thought that was the point of preordering, to receive it the day it comes out. Ive preordered from verizon before and received the device on release date. Maybe wirefly and other sites are different.

 

[w00tw00twhat]

Would like to ask something else. On verizon your able to transfer your upgrade to another line, but when at say wirefly there is no option for this, i just type in my #and account # and i take it see's that there is an upgrade on your account and it just transfers automatically?

 

[Balthazar B]

Just want to thank all you folks who are pre-ordering this phone. Hope you post your experiences as you have them once you receive your cool new Charges!

 

[Balthazar B]

The Charge can now be pre-ordered through AndroidSpin as well for $250.

Buying Phone from 3rd Party Questions

I have always bought my phones from a local VZ corporate store. Lately they have become crappy for service. I am thinking about buying my next phone from Wirefly, Wal-Mart or Amazon

- Do you get a 14 day return policy?
- Do you still call the VZ 1-800 number for support?
- What if the product is defctive? Do you return it to the 3rd party or VZ?

I have tried finding these answers and have not found them.

THX

errr is verizon going to be the last to put this up for preorder...err

 

[sheba510]

$250 should be the price Verizon charges not the 3rd parties. That being said I would have seriously paid full price if 4g was available in my area (and kept my upgrade for another year).

 

[rescueswimmer]

Don't forget bestbuy, (your going to pay slightly more but, IIRC they give you 14 days on the contract like Verizon and 30 days on the hardware. From what I was told. If you return the phone on day lets say day 25, You get the option to get another phone at "new contract Pricing" So if this is true seems like a no brainer to me, for the people who want to get the phone now but have some insurance they don't miss a may release of a new 4g phone.
