a little confusion about release date

SmokeNMirrors said:
I got mine earlier (ship by 11/10 too) but seems so according to this too:
DROID RAZR Pre-Orders Sell Out Online Already? - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

However I just re-visited the VZW page and don't see the temp. out of stock banner where it's shown in the article. Perhaps they set aside another batch for preorders?

Anybody get one after 12:00 or so?

mine was just before noon est - probably about 11:50 or so. hung up the phone and ran out for lunch :)
 
I can confirm that when I went to order mine at about 11:30 am est it was showing Sold Out... So I called Verizon and was able to order it through the call to the rep... I can also confirm that as of now 1:12 pm it is not showing sold out... go figure haha
 
I wonder if VZW is trying to garner hype and/or milk the media or do they just call Moto and say, "Hey guys, this RAZR thing is going pretty well. Think you might fab another 100,000 or so of 'em by next week? No prob you say. Great! We'll update the website."

When I called and said I wanted to pre order the RAZR the Rep chuckled and said I was his 5th one. He didn't even know about it until today he said. Go figure.
 
I hope we get them before the 10th. I would hope it would come to my door Tuesday next week since I am off.

Droid-Life is now reporting that there is a possibility Verizon is sold out via the pre-order route. Just passing it along.
 
Now if upgrading for the 2 year price can you add it to your bill?
can anyone confirm i can do this?

Plus before i add it to cart it gives me 249... then added to cart 299...

You cannot add your device upgrade to your bill - you'll need to use a CC/Debit card to purchase it but your card will not be charged until your phone ships.

When I started my purchase it was $299 and then after I entered my existing customer data it went to $199 in the cart - it properly gave my my last NE2 credit. Farewell NE2!!! My next phone will likely be purchased at Costco!

If you're not getting the correct discount I would just call a rep and have them make sure it's right.

Yes you can add it to your bill. I just did. The 299 is the price with tax included. I got mine for 249 as well and payed 299.
 
On the second question, I know you get a $50 credit for adding a line, I'm not sure about upgrading so I would call. Then you could always order the phone over the phone if they haven't sold out like Droid-Life is reporting.
Good Luck
 
CK, did you add it to your bill over the phone or online? I dont see the add to bill option online as of this post.

I was my rep's first :)

Me: I'd like to preorder the Droid Razr.
Rep: Let me see if I can even do that for you...Oh yes! That's today. You're my first preorder.
Me: Fantastic! Let's do it.
 
I order it on line, my wife friend just called verizon and the lady said she couldn't do a pre order over the phone?????

Guess it all depends on who you get on the other line.

I have talked to multiple online reps before and everytime, the info they gave me was wrong. Verizon almost always releases phones on thursdays( minus the iphone) and I can't see them changing for this.

Agree...BUTT I wouldn't be surprised to see some people getting them next week Friday or Monday.

Some guy on the net will have the pleasure of doing the first unboxing "early." it never fails.

Sort of off-topic but the people in the Moto Bionic support forums are flipping out and mad.

I want to tell them they should have known better but I have to realize they probably were not informed consumers. I'm not saying they are dumb I'm only saying they just didn't know any better (like most people)

They are po'd......dang

i can see why they are ticked: "the machine to rule all machines"....for a couple of weeks. LOL but, if they aren't gonna do some simple internet research (which would have revealed the RAZR or GNex or Vigor or....), then they shouldn't complain. my .02...
 
I've learned since I started upgrading my PC parts years ago to do research. I research everything electronic now.

Research showed my Buicks were bad on brakes when I started getting into cars. Research shows me Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Lexus, Audi, Infinity are the brands to get for total, overall best buy....for my needs anyway.

Research is one reason I chose the Droid 1 over the Eris...and thats after my research showed me the infamous mute issue the Droid 1 had when it launched.
