Just a quick update for everyone here. I just got off the phone with a two CSRs (I KNOW lol) regarding the 100$ promo that seems to be circulating around here and droid life.
Rep1:
He wasnt too sure about any sort of promotion going around. He asked which 4g phone I was thinking about getting. Naturally I answered I wanted the thunderbolt
, jk I said the nexus. He told me to stop waiting for that phone and just get the razr because it has 4.5 stars and is better than the nexus anyways. Also "It's made of kevlar, so you can basically throw it anywhere and it wont break." I told him I appreciate his enthusiasm, but would prefer to wait till friday since I dont have 250$ in my checking acct right now. I was told I could always order it then pay it off later. He was really aggressively trying to sell me this razr, almost to a point of being rude. After numerous disconnects with him calling back a few times (due to shoddy service with my Eris), the last time it disconnected, he didnt call back.
Rep2:
I called this rep about 5min later using GV on my desktop to make sure that the previous rep didnt sign me up for a razr or anything (I was really dissatisfied with my experience with him and needed to check). Luckily no changes to my account. I was told, however, that the previous NE2 upgrade discounts when they were first instated you would either get 100$ or 50$ depending on your plan. Later on it was changed to either 50$ or 30$, which explains my 50$ discount despite being on a higher end plan. No idea on the nexus as well, he kinda just laughed when i mentioned it and said "you already know the answer to that, we dont know"
So there ya have it folks, no one knows anything about the phones' release. On the other hand I think I narrowed down where those 100$ off promo 3g-4g flyers came from and who they are for. Ill still stop by my store tomorrow morning, if only to say hi to the manager again and see if there's any new hearsay.
