OT: Verizon looking to buy Netflix:

Verizon Considering Purchase of Netflix - Slashdot

Can you imagine how long it will take to get new movies on there

How could they possibly do that when they love stuffing Blockbuster on their bloated phones? *confused*

Something about "Verizon" and the term "Arrested Development" that just seem to go together

Was anyone able to get the $100 off using the code if they were told they are outside of the regional discount?

i did, and i'm in Phx - about as non-midwest as you can get.

Well played sir.

There's a lot of talks about cases out there. Is anybody, like me, all for keeping your phone in its birthday suit?

I don't want to add any bulk to my phone!

artnsx · Dec 12, 2011

If anyone in NJ (or anywhere) wants a good laugh, call the best buy in woodbridge, NJ. I got an incredibly rude rep on the phone and the whole conversation just made me laugh afterwards.

Convo went like this:

Me: Hi I wanted to ask if you had the galaxy nexus?
Rep: The what?
Me: I wanted to know if you know when you will be selling the galaxy nexus for verizon.
Rep: First of all, I can't understand you. Second of all, NOBODY knows when the phone will be available. There was only one sold and it was sold by accident somewhere in Kansas, so you can't get one now.
Me: I never asked you to sell me one today, I just asked if you know when you'll have it.
Rep: I don't know
Me: thanks, bye

I wasn't rude or demanding at any point, I'm just guessing either other people have been asking her all day or just being really demanding regarding a release date. I thought the whole thing was funny because I work with customers everyday and would never act like that no matter how many times I was asked the same question, but I guess some people are just gangsta.

Lol if anyone else calls there let me know how it goes.

One of the guys over at AC that got his from BestBuy is being asked to return it.

I will tell you, I would not be surprised if the whole launch gets canned. I half expect it.

Link?

OT

Anybody know what shipping service Diztronic uses on their TPU cases? I ordered one today and am wondering if it will make it for Thursday morning.

IIRC, mine came via US Mail, originating from Madison, WI.

Does Verizon offer any type of option to add the upgrade/phone amount to your monthly bill in order to split up the $300?

Yeah, just tell them to bill it to your account. A lot of in store reps don't like to because it screws with their comission, but they can do it. I don't think they offer payment plans or anything, but it is not like they have late fees either unless you are REALLY late.

DrexelDragon · Dec 12, 2011

Okay well, off to a much needed Tang Soo Do class! Bring me good news when I return! Until next time fellow Nexlings...

naknc · Dec 12, 2011

Should be a great tech week. Galaxy Note arrives UPS tomorrow. Nexus on Thursday. Gone fishing!

I read somewhere that the Ultra-Oleophobic has a slight matte finish. Can you confirm or deny this rumor?

On my incredible i had the anti glare/fingerprint Steinheil which was completely matte. This one is so much nicer, much less than the other ones. Its hardly noticeable to me. I am coming from the old anti fingerprint, so its amazing for me. I honestly ordered this one because it was the only option, but I am happy with it.

Grendil · Dec 12, 2011

I'd say wanting them to return his phone is more about getting in trouble for selling it early than the phone being cancelled entirely. Though I wouldn't rule that out the way this launch has gone. First evidence of stores sending their stock back, Im ordering a rezound.

Twisting completely......

Just got to my part time....it's BONUS NIGHT!!!!!!! This pays for the rest of Nyxie! (yes, my phone is starting off as female due to a learning curve and needing to learn what she likes. In about 20 months I expect to be calling it Nixed due to a second change from frustration.)

About the 3g to 4g promotion...

Maybe I just got a bad CSR, but she could not get CH4GE to work at all. I was on the phone for 40 minutes and on hold for about 10 of it.. I told her it was in the Midwest region and had a 3g phone..yada, yada. Oh well, maybe I'll just have to pay up like everybody else. I can't fault her for effort, though.. She made sure to tell me that she noted my account "Wants galaxy nexus"

Thanks..

WalmartSecurity · Dec 12, 2011

I tried calling VZW to apply the $100 discount, but they said I had to order from a local (Chicagoland) store. I'm planning to upgrade in MA, but my billing address is in the Chicago area...

Never did he ask for a promo code. Am I missing something here? He said he couldn't apply it to my account...but I was eligible because my residency is in IL

Called *611 again to try CH4GE, no dice.

Also asked about double data, said I'm buying a phone as a birthday gift next week and heard the deal might end. I was told it's on until the end of the month

Well, as long as we're talking about naming our phones... mine will be called Ginny

Anyone else naming their Nexus?

Garland06 · Dec 12, 2011

I just went to VZWs mobile site on my phone and then went to the accessories page. It automatically identified that I was on my Incredible, but allowed me to change devices. To my surprise one of the available options was the Gnex.
