I don't think I can bring myself to dish out full price for one of these right now. I suspect my S-Off and rooted Verizon M8 with unlimited data plan will serve me well for the next year. After that we will see, but keeping my M8 just makes good "Sense" to me for now.

Can't blame ya, at least until Bootloader unlock/S-OFF is achieved for the VZW M9.

VZW gets a bad rep/rap for a lot of things,as do the other carriers to varying degrees.
What is it that's grinding your gears?

It's just me being a as***** when I go into a Verizon store anymore the sales people jump on you like flies on a turd and pretty much tell you they have two phones that you need, and it's a I-phone or a Samsung phone and to some extent the Droid line. At the corporate store I go to this is all they seem to be stocking now even if they do have a display for other phones they are not keeping stock on them. When I go to a store to buy something I want to leave with it.If I wanted it ordered for me I would of did that in the first place sitting on my butt at home. Also it seems Verizon has taken away how to check store stock on line. Proly me as I first stated being a as*****

I also have a developer edition on T-Mobile, and have confirmed that I have received both LTE and HSPA signals thus far. The T-Mobile visual voicemail app did download from play store successfully, but I haven't gotten a chance to test it yet.

Just for giggles,thought I'd try something out:
On the Developer Edition,I've TWRP'ed/rooted/S-Off & installed VIPER ROM 1.2.0
During installation,I opted for the T-Mobile tweaks,which included WI-FI Calling in the settings.
It was worth a shot,but,the settings do not stick & (at least for the moment),WI-FI Calling on the Developer Edition is a No-Go.
Not a deal breaker by any means,or,I would have got the T-Mobile version.:thumbsupdroid:
Still packing all the other VIPER goodies,hope to see more of the familiar faces load up soon:

You may not be being paranoid: some manufacturers spend a lot of money on incentives to promote their phones (e.g. special pricing on the next batch if you hit a sales target), and store staff are widely reported to receive instructions or incentives to push certain models. Samsung famously spend more on marketing their phones than anyone else - I read a couple of years ago that their marketing budget was larger than many of their competitors' turn-overs - so I would not be at all surprised to learn that some stores are heavily geared to promote certain phones.

I personally go in with a clear idea of what I want to look at and don't give anyone an opportunity to suggest alternatives. ;)
