Been to 3 Verizon authorized retailer stores and no one has the G4 in stock? Why!!?? And that makes me a little uneasy. I wanted to actually try the phone out a little and play with it before I bought it! I am considering trading my Galaxy s6 in for the G4.

no corp stores or best buy?
 
I guess I am going to have to travel to find a corporate store or hit up Best Buy. Just annoying to have to go such lengths to get a look at this phone. I thought it would be easier to get my hands on one.

Lol, T-Mobile doesn't have service in my area. Which is crazy but a fact. Sprint is the same way. Still 3g in my area and T-Mobile just flat out doesn't work.

Just go to a T-Mobile store to try it out. if you like it you can get one at best buy. They will give you a 100 dollar gift card plus you can get the other promo items as well. best deal around.

Is the deal only good for T-Mobile, bc they don't have coverage where I live? I think I may trade in my s6 to get the g4.

BB doesn't have the T-Mobile G4. You can get the $100 gift card with purchase of AT&T, Sprint or Verizon G4 at BB.
 
Authorized retailers pick and chose what they display, where corporate stores are controlled by Verizon. I always shop at corporate locations.

No, you can buy any carrier G4 from Best Buy and get a 100 buck gift card. Some people have been lucky where the BB rep will apply the card to the purchase. Expires 4 Jul.

Go get ya one!

no. For some reason they don't have any Tmobile phones for saleonly, only prepaid ones, but you said you didn't need Tmobile. They have every other carrier. I just suggested you go to T-Mobile, if it's closer, to play with the phone. if you like then head down to best buy to purchase it This way you get the phone you want on your prefered carrier, 100 dollar gift card, free battery,charging cradle and 32gb SD card. Pretty sweet deal.

same here. I don't care if I have to drive an extra 20-30 miles to get to a corporate store. I would give Best Buy a chance though if I didn't have so many corporate stores near my location.
 
I must be one of the few that have really good luck at Best Buy stores lol

I have purchased from Best Buy before. I don't mind them. Just refuse to use authorized retail Verizon stores like go GoWireless or whatever they are.

BB may actually be worth driving to. I will get $385 value for my s6, then the $100 BB gift card, and all the extras offered in this deal. Which ends up, me only paying $60 roughly, out of pocket for the G4. If I am guessing correctly.....

I bought mine at BB last week, they only had plastic backs at least for Verizon.

If I had known the $100 BB card wasn't just for pre-orders, I would have held off on buying for a bit.

I've been to two Verizon corporate stores today and they do not have any G4's. I was told that they do not know when they will get them in. I too would like to play with one also. I guess I'll go by the BB store to see one.
