Charge goes on sale 5/14!

[ellje]

Everyone, quick, go buy this phone tonight. I need to wait a week to read reviews on what isn't working well and how the battery life is before I'm willing to jump in head first.

Very excited to see this phone, though. I want to fondle it a bit to see if the size is okay for me!

 

[Cruiserdude]

Glad they finally stopped giving us and Samsung the run-around, still wonder if we'll ever hear the REAL reason for the delay. Hopefully this will really kick-start development, and possibly see some price-drops and sales in the near future. I just hope we don't see a repeat performance once the Bionic is finally ready!

I guess this is speculation, but I'm assuming it had A LOT to do with the Thunderbolt update that was pushed yesterday.

Here's to hoping the GPS functions!

Did anyone whomsigned up for email notification get an email yet? They take your email promising to get you information as soon as it's available. Forget that - better to just subscribe to the AndroidVentral RSS feed.

Well, they DON'T only release phones on Thursday. Can be a Saturday too, or probably any day of the week.
/me is HAPPY.

That was one of questions I asked the store rep a while back, he said a phone release can be on any day. I hope it is better than the TB I had, if it is I will be one happy camper.

the blackberry tour (or maybe the bold) was released on a sunday.

It's funny though, all the anger and frustration I was feeling just yesterday is suddenly gone. Strange what a release announcement does.

Just a nice way to put being spoiled and finally getting our way lol

It would be nice if seeing as there was such.a delay they shipped the phones early to those who won them..you know so they could have them on the street date...meh I've waited this long what's a few more days eh?

The GPS functioned great for me.

does anyone know if it will come with free tethering?

 

[moondrius]

It is a feature on my account that I have a tethering promo. I don't know how long it will last but it is there.

No phone on verizion will come with free tethering otherwise the whole mobile hotspot contracts would be pointless

Edit: and a promo is just a promo its not free

 

[davey11]

Pasted from official vzw press release: Mobile Hotspot feature will be included for a limited time at no additional charge.

again it isnt really free, its just a taste eventually you either opt into the contract or you dont have it

So how much does it cost from now until June 14th?

a promo fee of 4.99 :-$

 

[ellje]

So 'No Additional Charge' = $4.99, now?

Can't wait to read the reviews on this phone over the weekend. I'm really pulling for this phone to be all its cracked up to be!
