.:Official Rezound Best Deals Thread:.

Went to my local VZW store and they would not match the online price so I ordered my new HTC Rezound online using my HTC Incredible right in front of the salesman.

Free 2nd day FEDEX delivery and $49.99 for this phone is exactly what I've been waiting for to upgrade my 2 year old Inc.

Same here, store would not honor the price. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I just wanted a new phone to play with while watching the NCAA final last night. Oh well, free 2 day delivery.

I talked with customer service last night regarding the Rezound sale. He told me that my discounts are already included in the promotion. That doesn't sound right to me. My discounts ($30 credit for upgrade, $100 credit for going to 4G) should be on top of the $150 off.
I will try with them again. I should be getting it for free.

They applied my last New Every Two ($50 in my case) AFTER I made the purchase online. I decided it was too good to miss and chat rep said they can't help but customer service should be able to so I pulled the trigger at like 3am the night I heard about (about 15 min after I heard!). The next day I called and explained the situation to the TECH SUPPORT division (they seem to be the only group that knows how to handle those situations) and just said that the computer had messed up and didn't apply my last New Every Two and since she already had an order to look at in the system, she said it was no problem and did a manual credit to my account. So, technically, I made $0.01 on my phone and hubby got his for $49.99. Couldn't be happier. :) For me, it was worth the risk of them not applying the credit as $49 is such a good deal...I wouldn't expect them to use all of both credits when it's down to $49 and you have $130 in credits but I can confirm that your $30 should definitely come off and you might be able to talk them into at least part of the $100 to get it down to free. It's definitely worth a try - just don't talk to customer service...choose the option for tech support as they know a lot more in that division in my experience. Good luck!

Upgraded to the Rezound last last night from my current Incredible as well. Seems to be contagious lol

I had bought my wife the Rezound last Tuesday for $199 in store. I went there today to try to get them to comp me the $150 but they couldn't, so they told me to call customer care. I called customer care and they couldn't help either, so they told me to return the phone and then buy it online, which I did. Sucks I had to pay a $35 restocking fee, but I'm still up $115 or so.

My wife ordered one online Saturday night for $169. She should receive it tomorrow but customer no-service won't refund the $120 difference. She said she'll ship it right back, no dice. So she called the local store this morning and they said to activate it and they'll do the refund in store if customer no-service still won't. Verizon really pisses me off with this petty garbage.

I went to verizon wireless on my computer from work to order and it wouldn't give me my $50 towards the promotion. Chatted with customer service and said noway...Blah,blah,blah. So I said I wait.
Went to work at my second job and I called my wife and she said just buy it already.
I have no computer access at my second job so I went on the stock internet app on my Incredible to the mobile verizon wireless, the promo came up, I clicked buy and it automatically deducted my NE2.
Got the phone for free!!! and free overnight delivery.
Being delivered today!

Can't wait!

I just submitted my order :0
Really wish there was a way to get out of having an extra line open all the time :(
phone shopping is so rediculous (if you dont pay for full price)

edit: blah I had the unlimited data plan and I was under the impression I had to pick the 4GB plan in order to get a 4G phone.. I already submitted the order so I called *611 and they said i was still on the unlimited plan and that my order hadn't shown up on their system yet.

can you keep the unlimited plan on 4G?
Now I have to call verizon again when i receive my phone and go through all this crap again

We'd better be able to keep it. I have a new $50 Rezound waiting on my doorstep right now :) When I call to activate it or whatever, I'll have to ask them about this.

Phone is in my possession and working (it's awesome :D )

I tried to activate it all through VZW website, but it wanted me to pick a new data/voice/msg plan. I had to call tech support and she confirmed that I was grandfathered into the unlimited plan.

I ordered the phone. I've had issues all week applying my upgrade credit to the $50 promo price. I talked to tech support tonight. He misunderstood my problem. He had the phone at $200 and discounted it down to $50. The discounts included mine ($130) + $20. It explained to him what I wanted and apologized. However, he couldn't give me my upgrade discount in addition to the $50 promo price. I went ahead and got the phone. I should get it by Saturday.

I'm loving this phone. I'm glad they let you keep unlimited data plans.. I checked my data usage for this month and it was up to 3.4 gb already. That was just on my droid 3!
I really have to invest in some bigger batteries. Went out last night and using 4G lightly I could just see the battery percent drop like a mother.

i can upgrade officially on the 25th of this month. iv'e been told indirect stores will do it a week before so i was thinking about going to a kiosk this week to see if i could get a rezound before they put the $30 upgrade fee into effect. but now i'm wondering if it would be more worth it to wait for the price to go down to possibly $50 again and just pay the upgrade fee.
