I don't understand why companies won't realize that withholding info from the public makes us more like starving dogs that you wave a steak in front of than rational humans.

Wow Sweatybeef, I had no clue my post would cause such a reaction, congrats! Let us know as soon as you get the call/email! I may have to place an order with your rep if he has the inside track. All the best.
 
Just talked with a VZW Customer Service Rep and thought my convo would be helpful to all those considering buying the SGN at full price.

I called her about a billing issue where I was overcharged. After that was resolved I asked to get an early upgrade and she said that early upgrades are given based on payment history, prior credits issued, and the situation. After explaining my case she said she couldn't do it at this time.

I called back and got another rep and had the same results so I asked if a manager would have the authority and he said yes. So I took my case to the manager and she also said no.

Finally on the third call I talked to yet another rep and got the upgrade approved without a hitch. My upgrade was supposed to be available in 09/2012 but I got it bumped up to now. He said the only stipulation was it couldn't be a 4G phone or an iphone. I told him I would want to do the SGN and he asked me if it was a 4G phone. I said yes. He said I wouldn't be able to upgrade for that phone. I asked "Why would I upgrade and keep a phone for two years that I don't even really want"? He agreed with me and put a special note on my account to allow it when it is released. I called back and confirmed with another rep for this to be the case based on the notes.

Moral of the story: You don't have to pay unsubsidized if you aren't up for an upgrade. Just call and explain your case (maybe you're having excessive troubles with current phone, etc) and see what happens. If it doesn't work, call back and try another rep. Hope this helps someone save some $$$$.

(Some background on my account. I've been a customer for 1 year and a half. I have a family plan with four lines, 2 of which are on unlimited data.)

Good luck peeps and above all BE CIVIL!!!! I did not ever raise my voice once. I used plenty of "thank yous". And when the answer is no, bow your head and thank them for their time. They have some of the toughest jobs, and they should be treated kindly. Most of these people are just folks like you and me trying to make a decent living. Good luck if you try!
 
anyone here planning on getting the transformer prime as well as the gnex? i just checked out the transformer prime forums and saw tumbleweeds rolling by...kinda surprised there isn't more excitement regarding that product since it'll be the first quad-core tablet...

Oh there's plenty of excitement among us, the things that aren't excited are our wallets :p

(Even more) off topic:
I submitted a couple of designs for the phandroid logo redesign contest, feel free to check 'em out:

I'm so happy for all of you!!.. you will be with SGN in no time!.. but i'm sad, because nobody talks about unsubsidized or nosim-lock price :(.. i would like to have the phone for a less than 600 USD :).

If he would have gone to the police when upper management refused to do it, he might still have his job. Don't want to start an argument, but I haven't seen anyone in that group that's innocent in all of this (although Paterno is nowhere near as guilty as the university president), and it makes my blood boil. He's out of a job. Too bad. Those kids are ruined.

I don't disagree. It's the right thing to do, but still very disappointing.

Sorry for the OT.

No, don't worry about it. I would have probably brought it up myself. It just makes me so angry, the whole situation.

But back on topic, how bout that Nexus, eh?

I wouldn't be surprised if it simply shows up on the website at some point without much fanfare.
 
been watchin out for this phone for a while... the good ol' OG survived a pretty good swim over labor day wknd and, although barely operable, it's on its last legs.

is it safe to assume that the pricing info that's been leaked via costco and the vzw MAP, etc is for the 32gb phone? (i think i saw that for costco). i know people have been complaining about the price for 4G phones, but at least the 16gb version has gotta be cheaper alternative... right?

I feel pretty confident that the $300 is gonna get you 32GB. All other phones priced at this range are 32GB.

Welcome to the forums.

Nothing is safe for assuming - guessing is all we have. We still don't have 100% confirmation that verizon will have both sizes. (Unless I missed that somewhere, which is entirely possible)

I would assume so, and I think that the Windsock was showing off both a 16GB and a 32 GB version of the Verizon Nexus.
 
All right, today's was a great Nexus day and a pretty good day in general. Let's hope we have more of these leading up to the launch :)
Anyway, those logo designs tired me out somewhat, so I'm gonna hit the sack. Night all.
