Switched from Sprint/Samsung Epic 4G to Verizon/HTC Rezound yesterday.
I wanted faster data speeds, and without exaggeration I can say that they are 100 times faster on Verizon LTE. For example the only thing I could reliably do at my gym before was a little texting, but now I speed test at 16Mbs in there. Apps can be downloaded in seconds.
I like the phone, it's not too heavy or thick for me and has an understated look. Wanted a changeable battery so the Razr was out. I bought an extended battery for 1/2 off the $49.99 sticker price ($59.99 in their computer though?) while I was there. Need an external charger and other stuff like the output adapter, time to shop ebay and Amazon. We'll see on battery life, just need some more experience with the phone but doesn't seem too bad so far. One plus (or minus) is that the phone sits in the car on the charger while I'm at work so not only is it not being played with but it's charging, ready for use with full juice
.
Also got $50 off the phone, 25% off the plan, and 20% off of the doubled-data price. More than Sprint but worth it for the data speed. What good does unlimited data do you if it's only available at a dribbled rate?
Had to school the sales staff on the extended return policy change as they hadn't a clue and argued with me for 10 minutes or so until they found the right screen on their system.
FWIW they didn't admit to knowing anything about the GN, but I'll for sure check it out when available, that extended return policy might come in handy.
