Even if they don't I hope we get the info about pre-orders...I really wish Verizon its self would provide pre-orders. They should have learned their lesson after the Touch Pro 2 debacle

May be wrong here but I think they did for the BB Tour.

If you want the discounted price yes- Or you could pay full retail with no contract

Ok, that makes more sense. The way everyone was saying it, it seemed like you could show them the price of your NE2, and they would sell you the phone. Someone said they didn't honor it so then I thought you could just get the phone and still have the upgrade on the account.

Didn't get the whole signing a new contract thing.

My bad.

I'm not saying to harass them. Personally, I feel like we can influence (a little) how VZW promotes and handles this phone. We probably already have. And we can raise awareness among other VZW customers, further selling the phone. VZW needs to know that high end phones are what they need to stock and focus on.

Honestly, not sure 100% was too interested in getting my crappy Storm at the time but I think I remember seeing that.

So how exactly does one get the Yearly upgrade? I have the NE2, is there a NE1?

Awesome. We have a date!

Now we need to get all the specs confirmed!!!

I'd hate to get this amped and get deflated at launch if the specs don't pan out.

I believe you can get an anual upgrade on your primary line but it is only good for $50 instead of $100 ( this is on a family plan) again VZW reps can correct me here if I am wrong

wellll if you think you should get rid of it........... I do enjoy a good wine

I was at Best Buy the other day - the rep told me that they get Verizon phones later (for example he told me they got the Droid a month after it was available from Verizon). Is this true? And if it is true, it would suggest that the incredible will be available to purchase directly from Verizon at an earlier date than the 25th.

Prime difference between a Sales guy and a Marketing guy is that the Marketing guy KNOWS when he is lying.

Thats just WRONG on so many levels

Thanks AGAIN MM! The people that dont believe you.....bend over and have them kiss your ass! Youve been such an amazing person here and you deserve way more respect than some people on here give you. I can rest easier for the rest of the month knowing I'll have my first smartphone at the end of the month


I'm almost at my 100th post! Its very exciting for me! This is the first forum I've been in this long before

That is just awesome news. It's the 7th now, and April 25th is less than 3 weeks away! My birthday is on the 23rd, and this would just be the best birthday present ever.

Here's to hoping that Verizon might get it before BB though!

(There is a chance that this could happen, right?)

It all varies from phone to phone when it comes to when best buy will get it. One of the reasons why the verizon stores get the phone first is to get a head start in selling their phones first before an authorized retailer will do so. Case in point its very hard to compete with BBY when there are absolutely no mail in rebates so if the Incredible goes for 199.99 the verizon store may have it for that price but after a 50 dollar mail in rebate. Where as in the BBY Mobile store the phone is 199.99 at the time of purchase. BBY Mobile can do almost everything a verizon store can do minus the Verizon VIP program. That is a special program that verizon has that rewards customers. The qualifications are as follows, have a plan that is a minimum of $70 a month, have an auto pay set up every month, and have a good outstanding account with no late payments for a minimum of 6 months. The reward for the customer then is getting a new phone every year for the 2 year upgrade price plus an additional $50 off the phone. For family plans the the primary line is the only eligible line. BBY Mobile does not match that since it is a program offered directly through verizon. I would know this since i am a VIP member and I could not use that discount at my BBY Mobile store i had to go to a verizon store to get the discount when i bought my blackberry tour. You have 30 days to return the phone or exchange it out, you can opt to get the verizon tec insurance plan as well as Best Buys branded insurance plan (i wont get into the details of the pros and cons of each plan). You can also use the reward zone card to tally points as well as use reward zone certificates to purchase the phone. Verizon and Best Buy have an agreement with the pricing and the pricing fluctuates from week to week at Best Buy Mobile, sometimes its a lot cheaper at Best Buy and sometimes its better at Verizon. Plain and simple the big advantage is no mail in rebates PERIOD. Best Buy Mobile can do almost everything a verizon store can do.
Second i can guarantee the photos posted are not photo shopped at all they are real screen shots hence why i took a photo with my phone and did not print out a screen shot and then scanned it because i knew i would hear foul play. If MM source is correct that it is in the planogram on the 25 i will check tom at work and see if it holds water. I am not in any way affiliated with MM but its rather discouraging for me to try and find more information when people cry foul saying its a photo shopped picture and MM basically repeats what i said earlier about the in stock date as well as the availability and then comes out saying he found out earlier about this from his source but yet didnt post any of that information until the photos were leaked.
Ill find out tom if MM source is correct or not
