Guys, I had a less than desireable experience at the vzw corporate store. First off, they dinged me $20 for an early upgrade fee even though I had my final new every 2 coming up in only 2 weeks. I found out that is normal and needs to be credited by calling vzw on the phone. So if you find yourself in that boat, call and ask for the $20 to be credited.
Also, the
CH4GE promotion is still valid for the Midwest region, whatever that encompasses, until the end of the year. I was denied this in the store, but easily got it over the phone and the rep even said the store is crazy for not actually promoting it b/c it's a way to increase business for them.
So my whole story...I got $20 credited for the early upgrade fee, $100 credited for the upgrade from 3G to 4G and they threw in another $50 loyalty credit b/c of how I got jacked around in the store which I didn't even ask for. I was very calm on the phone and did nothing but express my disappointment as a long term customer. Thought this may be worthy info for many people.
Also, I am now playing with my brand spankin new Galaxy Nexus. Life is good.
