My current one came with my S21+ when I bought it, about 3-4 months ago.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that tonight, but no such luck. The problem continued.

Yes, all network service goes dead until I stop the call. You can see the connection dropping by watching the mobile network icon at the top. After reading some other comments last night, I noticed that it works fine if you use FB messenger through a browser. It's the app that seems to have...

Yes, got my email for in-store pickup. Wish I didn't have back to back meetings all morning.

All this makes me think of a Dennis Miller joke from the late 80's wish I could find the clip. "It's a F'n phone for christ sake! You know the guy that Alexander Graham Bell called the very first time? He was not this excited about the concept of the telephone."

I'm sure it varies store to store. At my store they had me make an appointment at the time I pre-ordered. I'm going in at 9 on Friday.

I had a few free minutes yesterday, so I stopped in to my store to ask about early pickup. I didn't understand the reasons she gave, but I'm fairly convinced it's not happening before Friday (at least at my store). She offered to show me one, which seemed ironic, in a salt-in-the-wound sort of...

For me I'm waiting because: 1. I'm a hopeless optimist that thinks they will release in-store orders early next week. 2. I'd like to stick with the grey color that I pre-ordered. 3. I don't care to deal with the potential hassles around cancelling and re-ordering. 4. I'm not in that big of a rush.

Nothing really new here, but I went to my BB store over lunch. They said that the store had a meeting this morning, and the plan is the stick with the 15th for in-store pickup. He said if the decide to allow for early pickups, it would only be 1 day early (i.e. Thursday).

I just wish BB would make some sort of official announcement. If they come out and say in-store pickups are Sept 15 firm because of reasons, that's fine, I'll cancel and order online. But if it might be Monday or even Wednesday, I'll just wait it out.

Any news from the conf call today?

Very annoying, especially since the only reason I went in store was because their web site couldn't process my order. I had even saved my online order so that it could be finalized in store. Of course they didn't know how to do that, so I had to start over with an in-store order.

Does anyone have any information about for people that pre-ordered in store if we'll be able to get our phones early? Due to the BB website glitches, I ended up going to to the store to pre-order. I can't view any status online since it's not linked to my online account.

It was VZW chat, so I don't really have record of it. I'm thinking that even if I don't get the VZW trade-in deal because I bought through best buy, I can still get $100-ish selling my Note 4 on ebay. So my $150 BB discount + $100 phone sale is about the same as what I'd get if I did the...

I was told otherwise by a VZW rep. They do advertise the trade-in promotion on the best buy site. You have to go the to the big Note 8 promo page on the BB site, then scroll to the bottom where is lists deals for each carrier. When you click learn more under Verizon, it lists the same promo...
