Hello all, long time lurker and frequent android phone swapper. I just came from the locked down Droid X to the Incredible, GREAT phone, sad to hear that it has reached it's end of life with Verizon. Though I was wondering if anyone here knows if they are marking down the prices on what's left of the inventory of cases? Just trying to find a deal, yea I've called the stores in my area and they are the same price, just wondering if anyone here has heard anything different.
Check on Ebay. I got the Verizon Holster case, that retails for $30.00, for $7.99 + free shipping on Ebay.
Good deal! Thanks dude!
I have a red and a black version of the verizon high gloss silicone cases for cheapp if youre interezted pm me

Hey all,
Currently a DInc2 owner and looking for a 4G device to play with. I can get a Revolution for $80 third party, no contract, etc.. Worth It? Opinions?

This is only my second Droid, so i may be biased but i love this phone. I had an OG droid for years before this so it was quite a change, but MT, Cubed, spc, and a lot of other folks have made this phone go from a pos to a really fun and versatile device. I'd say yes its worth the money, but again i have a limited base of comparison.

Def worth it for that!

80 bux. Ya. Maybe try and shop around a bit more. There was one guy who could get his hands on one for 40 bux.
It is a great phone with mods. If you get one, well, welcome to the community.
Haven't played with the DInc2 at all. Had an OG DInc, and upgraded to the Revo. After modding it, it is a great phone. Does everything I need it to and more. It's perfect size; not as big as some of the monstrous phones that have been coming out, but large enough that it's comfortable to watch videos and browse the web.
There are some quirks about it, depending on what you want to do, but nothing that cannot be overcome, and there is a good community here at XDA to help out.
$80 is a great deal, off contract. Shop around to see if you can find it cheaper, but that really is pretty good. 4G phone, with 12GB internal storage, 16GB MicroSD, front facing camera and one click root? What more do you want?

$80 a good deal for a 4G phone with a 4.5in. screen? Lol. Pretty obvious that it is. Someone else asked somewhere if $40 was a good deal. Come on guys, do you want them for free or something?

I got this phone the second week it came out so I paid full two year contract price. But the looks I see on peoples faces when my benchmarks are higher than theirs is priceless. This phone has become so much more because of the people who develope all this software for it.

I 2nd, 3rd and 4th this. My phone is a totally different animal after gingervolting, blitzing and supercharging. My wife has a Dinc 2 and I have started to read up on custom roms etc. for her on the Dinc2 forums and by far, this forum and everyone here has been a step above.
So, I called Verizon yesterday because I'm a little frustrated with not getting ICS and one of the accessories I want is not made because they EOL the Revo already. They offered to let me get the Galaxy Nexus for $199 even though I'm not due for an upgrade and they will give me $63 for my Revo.
Would you do it?
I warrantied my Revo about 5 times and they sent me a Nexus as a replacement.

Not a sinle issue with mine to date.
Biggest complaint is the case and mount I ordered to use on my motorcycle won't work and they company is not going to make one that works for the Revo.

Tell the rep I want one, give me a phone number and a name, and I'll do it today. I'll let you know if it was worth it
It's akin to saying: "If someone offered you a Corvette for $30k, and offered $20k for a Kia Rio you owned, would you do it?"
"Only if I wasn't in a coma."
EDIT: I should probably add the disclaimer that Verizon is on the "screw you" campaign for its customers, so you'd need to examine what they were doing with your plan. Would you lose your unlimited data? Would you be forced into two years on a tiered data plan? Are they going to try to chain you to one of their "family shared, everybody wins except you (Stock holders, Verizon, etc.)" plans?
After all, no device is worth your soul...
I took the deal and the Nexus should be here Friday.
No changes to my contract as I was already on the 4Gb data plan(The wife has the unlimited data) and my contract date is still December 2013, so not a bad deal. I wish I had a different choice for carriers, but here in Wyoming they are the only one with decent coverage.
The more I read about the Nexus the more I like it. More to follow on Friday.

I'd trip over my own feet running to the store from the joy of being released from this hell pit of a phone! but, yes I'd defiantly take that offer any day. But, what was the accessory that you wanted but they no longer had since they EOL the phone already?
I wanted the Kraken AMS from Trident so I could clip the phone to my motorcycle handlebars, but they only made the Kraken II and from the person I talked with on the phone since LG has EOL the Revo they will not produce the Kraken AMS for the Revo.

Time to complain to Verizon that I want the Kraken AMS so they'll give me a new phone
It was a two part complaint. The other half had to do with no ICS for the Revo.
Go ahead and use it if you want. I'll only charge $5 for the use of this claim to get a different phone.

Oh trust me, I complain about no ICS everyday. If I really tried hard enough I could easily get a Nexus.

agreed. I have ways out of this phone if I want. I have 2 other lines that are up for renewal, both have regular flip phones with no data plan. I can renew one of those and get a new phone and transfer it to my line. I am a firm believer in paying for your mistakes however, and carrying this phone until upgrade for this line is my pence for impatient and not waiting for 4 months.
I am also very unhappy with Verizon. I have the unlimited data plan and there is no 4G in my area. Verizon promised me 3 different dates but has yet to deliver. Now it looks like I will not get to take advantage of unlimited data on 4G ever because by the time it hits my area (Verizon is now promising by end of 2013) I will have had to update and will have lost unlimited data. It's not like I live in some obscure remote village in the mountains. I live in Ventura California. I'm 40 minutes north of LA. Sprint service and coverage sucks, but right now the unlimited data, selection of phones, and roll over minutes are looking pretty sexy right now.
Just got off the phone with Verizon:
Sending back this second Revo (very recently began to Vibraboot again) in exchange for a Razr Maxx, no upcharge.
They offered the straight Razr (pun!) but I mentioned I had an extended battery and needed something with juice. Two minutes on hold and the 'supervisor' said no problem. Should be here Thursday.
Edit: fwiw, the Razr ics update is scheduled to start rolling out next week.
Great to hear they got you taken care of.
I've had my GN since Friday and I've got it Unlocked, Rooted, and running CWM. Also through in a custom rom and kernal and I'm really loving running ICS.

How many replacement revos have you had? I went through 4-5 before they let me choose which phone I wanted.

I had 0 warranty replacements. I bought the second one used from an individual. Just depends on who ends up on the other end of the line I suppose..
Also, the razr is pretty damn sweet. At least, coming from a revo. ; )
After using my unlocked Dell Streak 5 on T-Mobile for over a year (seemed like an eternity at 2G speeds), I just got the Note.... What a SWEET device!!

No stores in my area carry the note, so I orders from walmart. Been on the art version for 4 months and can't wait to get back to hspa+ speeds.
Hey auds.... I wish you Godspeed in getting your Note.... Mine took about a week to arrive (ordered through Customer Retention dept. at T-Mobile)..... The week seemed like forever, but keep your chin up..... It's WELL worth the wait

Well, damned Walmart cancelled my order. Chatted with CSR for 20 min, she didn't know what happened, so I ordered again and got on chat right away so it wouldn't get cancelled, but it did. Don't know if it was out of stock or what. Just a pisser. I have to call T-Mo as none of the stores in the Portland area have it yet. I hate waiting.
Auds.... I've read on several reputable websites that WireFly is selling it for $179 (with contract.... New or existing customer)... You might want to check that out.... Let me know how it turns out Good luck!

New customer, yes, great price. Make sure you go to wireflyfriends.com, not the regular wirefly website. Had to hunt around for that info, when I couldn't find it at the 179 price on the regular Wirefly website.
For existing TMobile customers, you must be upgrade eligible when you order. I placed my order, and it came back denied because I'm not yet eligible for handset upgrade. The non-upgrade price is much more.
12 Years with T-Mo can pay off!

I went through T-Mo retention and was able to wrangle a $150 price (plus a SGS3 for $180 and a free SGS2)! I'm supposed to be receiving all my goodies today. I had to check yesterday since the automated system kept telling me I had nothing in transit.
For all those customers that wonder, 12 years as a customer does pay off sometimes!
Good to hear!! Mine is on backorder through TMo cust loyalty....grrrr.....
Spich...
I wasn't going to divuldge the price, but I too, got mine for $149 through T-Mobile Customer Retention for $149... I think I did pay extra (in addition to the $149), for express shipping (well worth it.... Note was delivered to my front door 3-days later)

Also... If you haven't ordered the "USB OTG" adapter, it's the coolest accessory ever.... I paid $15 through Amazon w/ free shipping.... It lets you plug USB devices (like key-chain thumb drives), directly into your Note.... Way cool!! (but I haven't tried it with other USB devices like keyboards yet)

The otg adapters can be had for 2-3 bucks each on amazon or eBay, look around a little and you can find them cheaper but it really is one of the best accessories you can grab, nothing like being able to copy to and from a USB flash drive while out with your phone only.
Yep i love it already but i am scared to drop it. Doesnt fit on my hand all that well. Had it for one day, its rooted and installed ubuntu chroot check out my post from developer section. Otg work great with keyboard mouse combo

So I'm watching football and just saw the Lebron James Note 2 commercial. At the end, they said now buy one get one free flip cover from Verizon. Don't see this on the Verizon website or the Samsung website. Anyone have any luck with this, or my ears just playing tricks on me.
Every store I've been to is OOS.

I saw the same thing, went to verizon store and they knew nothing about it and can't find it online, I was thinking I dreamed it up while watching football till I saw your post, lol. Chatted online with a verizon rep and they said there was no such promo?
I saw the commercial also. Been waiting for it to come back so I can take a pic. Told my friend about it but he got the same answer from Verizon, that they can't find the promo or haven't heard about it!

Went to the Verizon store and asked them about the BOGO offer on the cases. They were clueless even though one of the reps said he SAW the commercial. Went to the car and called Verizon, after being on hold for ten minutes they came back and told me it was a T-MOBILE COMMERCIAL. What? What a fail.
Jen:laugh:
Video of the commercial
I was able to take a video of the commercial. Here's a link for all: http://db.tt/Z48cbO5b. Now go show those idiots this evidence!
Tmobile offers 50% off on accessories of $10 or more when you buy Note2

I saw the commercial too. I'm going to try the store near me tomorrow. Wonder if you need to be a Verizon customer...lol. Going to walk in with my ATT phone.
It's on the Verizon website. You have to log into your account, go to accessories, select your phone model, then View All Accessories. If i'm not mistaken, when I saw it, the colors are green and teal... I was going to jump on it, but the colors are tad too feminine for my taste.

The Flipcase are a very nice Cases, but the Handling is not nice for me ,and when the Phone drop that dont help great....but one price for 2 is Hot
I could probably rock the mint and sell the sky blue one yet at that rate I might as well order it from Samsung with the 50% off

Right 50% off at samsung is the same price for 2 as the BOGO with Verizon. I got a white flip, orange flip and a TPU for like $50 using the 50% off.
