Wahoo!!

(What was the point in signing up to receive "latest information and news" if they were just going to tweet it and not bother to email it to those of us that signed up? I don't "tweet" so thanks for letting us know!)

I'm super excited. Thanks a million I've been stalking Verizon website and twitter page lol. Does that mean it should be soon? I just became a Verizon customer about 2 days ago and my 2 weeks are up the 5th of May and I want this phone

Hard to say when they'll ship or have them available in stores. It could be a few days, a week, or up to a month. We might see tomorrow when pre-orders begin.

Gotta wait for the 32GB version.

Still a bummer that verizon customers have to pay $50 more up front then deal with a mail in rebate. Thats just sounds like a pain in the a**

While I'm here, how much more quickly would you get this opposed to waiting for it to come to the store?

I agree. As someone who likes to horde their music and use PowerAmp instead of Google's music player, 16 GB was not enough using my Droid DNA. Then again, I suppose there would be no harm in just simply storing it on a SD card.

Re: Verizon Pre-Orders Begin April 25th

I wonder if we get the 16GB one on verizon and they release the 32GB within the two week or 30 day return period, can we return it? Also was thinking about the rebate, if you use it does that obligate you to keep the phone. I don't want to waste anybody's time or money but if they don't release both at the same time they could be doing it to themselves.

Not when the user actually gets 11 or 12 gb's out of the 16.

I'm going to tell myself that they are going to ship pre-orders early and May 30th is the worst case scenario

Re: Verizon Pre-Orders Begin April 25th

What do you think prices will be for Verizon off contract (full price) 32GB and 64GB versions? When will those units be available for preorder or in store?

Thx!!

Looks like May 30th just got confirmed. See updated AC post. Wow that is just crazy...almost a month after other carriers!

On the AC review, it a little over 9gb for the sprint model.

I saw...a whole month later!! CRAP BALLS! MY best bet is to get a cheap verizon phone for right now to get me through the month until the S4 is released

I'm hoping for this as well. I've been on my Thunderbolt since its release and it is needing replacing BADLY. I've been coming to AC for the past few days hoping to see something about Verizon's release date... May 30th? WTF. I just don't know if I can wait that long... and for only 16GB. Pfft.

Re: Verizon Pre-Orders Begin April 25th

I, too, am holding out for the 64GB model. I'm a storage junkie, though, realistically, I could "make do" with the 32GB and get a storage card. Expandable memory FTW!

Re: Verizon Pre-Orders Begin April 25th

Question:

My upgrade isnt available until May 15. Can I preorder tomorrow with upgrade pricing? or do I have to wait until the May 15?
