I've been waiting for the Rezound/Razr to hit $99 before leaving my dusty, old Fascinate to die, and it just hit this morning online. I picked up the Rezound for $99 ($100 promo discount) from Verizon's website. I didn't do anything special, I just saw the deal on their main page while logging in to review my bill.

I called a local store to see if they could match, and they tried, but it wouldn't give them that price, so it may be online only..

Just a heads up in case anyone waited like I did, or you have interested friends/family.

My friend who was with TMobile and on a Blackberry decided yesterday to finally switch over to Verizon. She saw the President's Day sale that had two for one Razrs. Originally she thought it was the Rezound and I highly encouraged her to take the deal. We later realized it was the Razr.

She wanted to get the same two phones because the other phone was for her mom and she thought it would be helpful if she had the same phone as her mom so that she could help her learn how to use the phone.

I am really upset that today the Rezound is $99, because she could have had the Rezound instead of the Razr.

I know the phones are comparable, but the difference in my opinion is that the Razr is M-O-T-O-R-O-L-A and the Rezound is NOT!

Call Verizon. They offer a 30 day price protection according to what I've read. I'll be calling them since I bought mine a month ago.

The rep just told me it's 14 days.

Yep. That's it. Many years ago, I swore I would never buy full priced video games, because the sting of sales proved too strong for me to withstand.
Now, I'm doing the same with phones, especially HTC. This was the first phone I ever purchased for full price, so screw this crap. Hell, it's probably $99 just to cover the cost of the Beats earbuds. Might as well ship those back to the manufacturer and offer the phone for free.

[namebrandon]

That sucks, I feel for everyone who paid $299..

I think I will put the earbuds on eBay and make some money back.. I listen to music pretty frequently, but I'm far from an audiophile.. The $10 buds suit me just fine.

[jpoutre]

Why feel for those who paid $299? They wanted it early and it was worth it to them and they have had it for longer. I wanted the phone and waited until the price to his $199 ($149 for me after $50 upgrade) and have no regrets at all. I know all phones will drop over time, when other phones are coming out. Will always happen..

$199 about a month ago

I knew if I waited until my original eligibility upgrade date (which would have been March) the price on the Rezound would be lower. However, I could not stand dealing with my Droid X a day longer, so I don't regret paying $100 more.

[major payne]

I paid 49.99 thanksgivings day weekend

[Pakbackr]

Site says deal is only good through Feb 28th and I'm not eligible for an upgrade til March 5th....ratz!

[major payne]

call and ask if they will allow early upgrade whats the worst they will say? No?

Yup. It is 14 days. I saw the reduced price on the VZW site today and called Verizon and spoke with a rep about the price drop. Since it has only been 13 days for me they gave me a $50 credit on my account. I paid $149 for my Resound at the time of purchase. Even if they didn't do anything I still don't regret getting the phone. It is a phenomenal device and I am very happy with it.

Well, horse sh!t ! I just ordered mine yesterday, for $150 (had xtra discount). I called them about a price match, which they said they could do, but I would have to return my phone (which is still in the mail) and reorder the new one. I'd normally do this, but I'm kinda in a bind and need it asap. They were able to give me a $30 discount dropping mine down to $120.

To think I could've had one for $50 is frustrating, but hell, Im happy with $120, considering that in the stores around here they are still charging $300.

Either way, I'm stoked about getting this phone!

I am tempted to go back to the local verizon store and slap the phone down on the desk and say "Fifty bucks B!tch3s! "

I bought my Rezound this past weekend in store ($200 - $50 NE2). I called CSR today to price match and they couldn't credit my credit card because it's online only sale. Instead they are giving me a $100 credit to my phone bill.

Wow, that's the same time I got mine at Amazonwireless...for 1¢
But....I was a new subscriber. Still what a deal and what a phone.

[condor637]

That's a good deal even thou I got mine on Black friday 11-24-2011 for $50.00 (Costco) on upgrade .

[Damasterjj]

I bought mine from amazon, and they said they do not price match. guess I'm stuck paying 159 for a good phone

I purchased my phone on Friday (Feb 17th) for $149; when I called Verizon they said there was nothing they could do for me (other than if I returned the phone, paid restocking fee, etc., which I'm just too lazy to do and I dont want to give up my phone).

To the guys that say they got some form of credit on their accounts, did you order your phone online and did you have to hassle with Verizon to get any kind of rebate? Thanks!

[Lodingi]

Great price for a great phone. My wife has the Rezound and she really digs it.

I didn't have to hassle with the guy, but it seems to depend on if you get lucky and get a cool representative or not. Or getting really ticked off probably helps? I didn't though.

The guy i talked to seemed like a fellow phone enthusiast, and was genuinely surprised at the sale going on, it was the first he had heard of it. He put me on hold and checked with a supervisor to see what he could do.

That said...I only received a $30 dollar immediate discount from the original 150 i paid (could get full refund if i decided to return), and have heard of others getting a $50, or even $100 reimbursement.

Seems to me a kind of flaky way to do business...

I bought my phone in store this past Saturday using my NE2. When I called, they said they couldn't credit my credit card for the phone because its online only deal but put me on hold as they looked for other options and came back with a "better" option by crediting $100 to my phone bill instead. Not much hasseling for me, but I would've preferred a credit to my credit card.

Getting mine on March 1st along with an extended battery and kickstand case. Can't wait.

That's not an opinion.. it's a fact. The RAZR IS Motorola, while the Rezound is HTC.
