Just a heads up for those getting the GNEX through amazon using an upgrade from another line, aka "swapping upgrades"

This is straight from Amazon policy:

"While carriers may offer the option to swap upgrades between different lines on the same family account, this option isn't available through AmazonWireless. Phones purchased from AmazonWireless must remain on the line upgraded for 181 days. If you move the device to an alternate line within the first 181 days, you'd be subject to additional charges by AmazonWireless of up to $250 (per phone), plus applicable taxes."

Was about to pull the trigger until I read this.

Anyone have experience with LetsTalk on this (switching the phone to a different line on a shared family plan)? Their wording isn't as specific as Amazon's. I may not risk this, not even on my primary line, because I tend to switch back and forth between phones just to keep things fresh.
 
Okay, so I have no idea what black magic caused this, but I took it and ran.

$124.99 shipped?? Very excited by that.
 
Anyone know the policy for Lets Talk if you can use an upgrade line to just receive the device but activate on some other line?

Just a note that I think switching to unlimited minutes is what did it for me, since I had a friend switch to 450 or whatever and it charged him more for the device.

I use the phone for work and home so I break 1,200+ minutes a month. Might have been able to get by on 900, taking free weekends and friends & family into account, but for $10/month more, it wasn't really worth it to deal with it.
 
Just ordered with letstalk. No date provided for shipping. It will be interesting to see how long it takes based on all the orders I imagine they got tonight.
 
I saw the pics posted earlier of the extended battery and OtterBox case. Does anyone know where I can find these? That is two of the three essentials I need for the Trifecta.

All I will have left to find is the Sheinheil Crystal Clear screen protectors:)

The fun is just beginning....
 
I took a closer look at the shipping policy for Lets Talk. Including processing time it can actually take 3-4 business days to arrive.

I'm hesitating on whether its worth the $75......I'm also worried about possibly screwing up my family plan since it wouldn't let me just keep my existing plan.
 
Well, I think I am outta here for the night and probably my last post in this epic thread as it will probably be locked by the time I get up or shortly thereafter.

Once again, its been a helluva ride :D

Night, all!
 
I guess I'm just very surprised that there are so many people willing to wait at all by ordering online, no matter what site you order from. I get that you can save some money, that's cool, but after the rollercoaster we've been on for the past month and a half, I just want my damn phone. I know it's most likely not going to be a very long wait, but I'll have mine in a little over 5 hours and I can guarantee I wouldn't want to wait an additional 28 hours on top of that, lol. But I guess some people can't make it to the store in the morning and/or are strapped for cash so that makes sense. Just didn't expect it to be this popular of a choice after this trainwreck of a launch.
 
I think for $75, I will just buy it in store tomorrow. I'll have to use my last NE2, but I'll have the phone in hand tomorrow and no worries of fees if I switch it to a different line. Not worth the hassle to me.

Anyone want to donate $75 to me?
