Best Buy and the Rezound

[BigCTM]

I was in a local Best Buy and was just wondering if they had any Rezound accessories, more out of curiosity than anything. They had none. Worse than that, the phone was not on display and the reps had never even heard of it. I wonder if this is typical - probably so knowing Best Buy...lol...

I just got back from BestBuy, while the wireless rep who I talked to about accessories did know about the phone, he said they didn't get anything in for it yet.

Best Buy Mobile is stuck in some time warp where they're only allowed to sell phones from the previous release cycle. Once in a while they'll get a brand new phone, but then botch details. (See "Nexus Prime" flyer.)
You're not likely to see the Rezound in their stores anytime soon.

It's not just Best Buy. Most people that even saw the commercial on TV couldn't tell you what phone it was for. The Rezound is a gem of a phone and it's getting the short end of the marketing stick. Which I'm OK with because it seems like "dead" phones get manufacturer unlock quicker...hahaha

Best buys by me in Easton, PA by Allentown, Bethlehem and NJ border all have the rezound.

All the staples stores don't though.

The one by me said the rezound is not selling well at all.
He said either they are buying the razr because it's that, a razr, or they are waiting for the nexus.

LOL, yes it appears everyone has sold the rezound short. The sad part is it has been and is the best LTE phone on verizon. Fewest problems, etc. Biggest issue is getting accessories.

The BB in Bucks County PA. does have the Rezound, just not the accessories which I found it a little odd.

It sounds like some of the Best Buy locations throughout the US has them but not all because the one close to my house located in Manhattan, Kansas has the Rezound but like all the other locations-no accessories.

Our Best Buy in my area has the Rezound....sitting between a Dinc and Tbolt...lol. They should have set it like an evolution....Tbolt<Dinc<Rezound

Of course no Rezound accessories but then I got them at VZW corporate store on launch day...kinda wich I knew about Amazon penny sale before then but I just had been waiting for RZD long enough at that point lol.

My kids do wish it had a Angry Birds case like for the iPhone LOL.

The Best Buy here in Janesville Wi has the rezound in the AT&T section of phones??????? And no accessories. The same thing happened with the Evo3-d, phone but no accessories.

My local BB had the Rezound, but no cases or accessories and they knew nothing about it. Worries me that it will get overlooked and not supported with many cases and accessories.

I wanted a charging dock for my Incredible 1 and I ended up seeing one for the Incredible 2 before I ever saw one for the Dinc1. In fact, I don't know if they ever put out one for the 1. It sucks to get a phone that doesn't get lasting support.

I just saw a Rezound commercial last night. It was pretty much a white background with a floating/spinning Rezound and some details about Beats audio. At the end, it had a little "Available at Best Buy" graphic with the Best Buy logo as well.
I'm wondering why several stores still don't have it, considering the store itself has a commercial about the phone.

The store that provides this forum has Rezound stuff.

 

[labs point]

I have seen plenty of commercials for the Rezound. Kid bopping in the store, his parents as well. Young adult guy walking through a blitzkrieg totally oblivious to it listening to his beats headphones. On football sunday as well.

i bought mine at Best Buy because the BB here in B'ham, WA is a great place to buy anything. But....they do not have much Rezound accessories as this thread seems to be establishing. htcpedia for me.

My BB in New york city has the rezound. It also has Acccessories

 

[omie19]

which bb is that

anyone have any updates on if and when best buy will have Rezound accessories?

Is there any verifiable proof or is that just a statement from a Rezound owner?

I have been researching the Nexus, the Razr and the Rezound now for a month, and from what I have noticed over a few forums is that the Rezound has as many complaints and praises as the Razr. The Nexus seems to have more complaints.

It does appear from posts that the Rezound has more complaints in regard to the phone, but has more praises in regard to the screen; vs. the Razr.

I have no complaints with the Rezound. Great phone. Great screen.

One blaring difference is both the GN & Razr have had OTA(s) pushed out since release.

No phone is w/out complaints, especially as new ownership increases. I haven't visited the Razr forums but from past experiences, the Rezound complaints are the tamest I've encountered on any Verizon LTE offering released Android OS phone yet. I think the complaints are far more user based than software based. Only true gripe has been the boot loop issue but that's just a poor choice on a factory setting. Which is easily solved if encountered. Although, I'm sure it'll see an easy patch, @ some point tbd. I may be wrong but I doubt the Razr forum boded as well in this regard before the first update?

Had they not pushed updates to the Razr, that would not be a factual statement. They'd be filled with pouting swarms like several are still doing in the GN forums.
