Excellent advice already given, and many like MyBackup Pro for a few bucks in the Market for non-root users.

VERY handy backup tool, will pay for itself when needed, imo.

My philosophy - it's a phone and things can just happen to phones.

Make frequent backups and you're never at a loss for critical apps or DATA if a sad phone day is in the cards for you.

I use this as well, it can come in very handy
 
Is it possible Best Buy will get them on Friday too ? I bought my Rezound there and may return it as the battery life in not that great.
 
i made an account for the phandroid holiday contest but it wouldn't be right without posting here first-- so hi!

long, long, long time lurker.

so excited for this friday! and you can bet i'm going to visit all my local vzw stores on thursday to coax them into a soft-launch situation :)

Welcome. And good luck! Perhaps you won't need to buy one at all ;)

If you had web access that won't change.

Ok, I just wondered if being an "account manager" would give me the ability to purchase the phone through the website as well. It doesn't appear to, as I'm directed to a page that says only account owners have this right when I try adding a phone to my cart.

Thanks again.
 
Anyone going to the corporate store in Laguna Niguel, California this Friday to pick one up? I'll be there at store opening :) THEY BETTER HAVE IT! :D

You probably just need to wait a little while.

If you're an account manager, you should be able to purchase a phone from the website. This is where the billing password which is different than the primary account holder's verizonwireless.com password is used.

Welcome!
 
Gah, called the store closest to my work. It's a Premium Retailer (never used one), said it was "all speculation" at this point. Thankfully, they're open until 9pm on Friday so I'll be able to swing by after work if Thursday is a no go.
 
I tried calling 3 corporate stores in Denver. None of them had received a shipment of phones yet, only accessories. None of them knew when they would be selling the phone. Darn.

Two more things:

1. I was asking the reps about accessories and they will not have an extended battery at launch which I was pretty bummed about.

2. Does anyone know a good app to use that I can video call with my wife? Bear in mind I will have the GNex but my wife has the iPhone 4s. Thanks all!!!

I use Tango with my husband. He has an iFruit, I'm ashamed to say. None of them are perfect, but that one works pretty well and is successful at traversing the robot-fruit divide.

:o
