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.
Thanked by O.G Incredible

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.
