Take a look at SPC_Hicks post as he has a discussion going about this already.

Razr, Razr, Razr lol. Mine was $200 with my upgrade. I was gonna get it from BestBuy for only $149 but I found out that if you buy a phone through a 3rd party, they have all rights to change your plan and you could very well end up losing your unlimited data (if you have it). I paid the extra $50 and went to Verizon.

So I just made the switch from T-Mobile from my beloveded Sensation today. I was in my 30 day trial still (coming from Sprint to T-Mobile) so im returning it. Both horrible service where I live. So that's why I have chosen Verizon. I have the LG revolution for now until Thursday when my Bionic comes in I will make the swap.
Coming from two HTC phones (sensation and evo) I'm excited to check out the Bionic. Especially on Verizons lte network. Anyone else getting one on launch day or making the switch from another carrier?

getting mine on friday probably!!!!!!!
What is the best option!? I've heard Amazon, Best Buy, Costco? Any SOLID suggestions on where I should get mine on Thursday!??!
I will be switching from ATT. I have dropped so many calls the last couple of weeks it has been unbearable. The only bad thing is that Verizon is not officially in my county, but they have better reception here than ATT. The best part is that we have a huge corporate account with Verizon and I still get unlimited data.
Im getting mine from one of my local Verizon stores. Can't wait. Although I'm an HTC fan I think I'm gonna like using something different.

I will most likely get it from Costco on Thursday, because the have it bundled with a bunch of accessories for $299.
Gonna try costo myself...if it holds to be true with the included acc pack...crossing my fingers

I didn't even think of that... but since I purchased the LG revolution today to get me started I get to return it without the re stocking fee Thursday and purchase my bionic. I'm just hoping I'm gonna like it coming from the evo and the sensation.

If I don't buy mine from a verizon store, can I still use my new every 2 discount..at let's say...costco??
My Bionic will be here in the morning. I had the D1,D2,DX,Fascinate, and currently the Thunderbolt. The cool thing is i have not come out of pocket for any of my phones since the D1 lol. I hope something can be done about the bootloader if not of well Ill give Bionic to the wife and take her Thunderbolt
Verizon finally replaced my revo with a bionic. I was tired of the revo screwing up so I said yes to it. Is the bionic any good? On their website it says Android 4.0 upgradable so I'm assuming I can upgrade to ICS on it or is that just for a later time?
I believe the bionic was actually a higher price point when the revo was still $199 or are they about similar phones?
The bionic is far better and has more development for it. No official ics yet though.

The only bad thing is its outdated. It was the first dual core processor phone for verizons 4G LTE that was delayed so many times. Its definetly and upgrade from the Revos hardware.

Do they only sell the 1gb ram model or am I likely getting the 512mb model?

Normally its multiple times that you need to send in a revo before they will switch it.

I wouldn't call it outdated. While it's not the newest or the best, its far from being outdated.

I had two revo replacements. They are out of stock now. I told them it was slow and all and they looked it up and confirmed that actually at least tuats what they told me they did.

Ok you guys are not going to believe this. Since my wife is a data hog doing 40 gigabytes a month they gave her a Droid 4. She was using a 3G LG Ally
They said they want to get the heavy users off of the 3G network. So as an incentive they are giving discounts to people that are heavy users with 3g phones to upgrade to 4G usually 100 off. My wife was an extreme case so they gave her the droid 4 for free. How backwards and awesome is that? So moral of the story.... be a data hog and get yourself a free 4G device. LOL
I am hearing rumors that they want to clear 3g for I phone users because Iphone will not be receiving 4g!! Yikes Stinks to be an apple lover!!
Ha! So that's why my account got flagged for $100 off with an early upgrade!
I got no such deal. I got mine for the $200

Its up to you. The only reason I have this phone is because of the work from all the great devs on here.

Yep, this. This thing was virtually un unusable out of the box. All the devs are the reason I've kept it for so long. That being said, I'm jumping when sprint releases their gnex.

Might go with this .. I havent been satisfied with how my revo works since I got it. Thought updates would help but no luck ...seems to me a big memory leak somewhere I can't even run my work app. Without issues and it is pretty rudementary ...my OG Droid worked great til screen died ..not a fan of LG myself either. So we shall see how it goes .....thanks for your input

I just bought my wife a RAZR MAXX and I'm impressed. I'd say RAZR MAXX all the way. The Revolution isn't bad once you get Gingervolt on it though. It's useless without it IMO.

Personally I'd keep the REVO (make sure it's ROM'd) and wait for the Galaxy SIII.

Exactly, all these new plans Sprint is coming out with end up costing us more money than the plans we already have so why would we switch to them.
This is really tempting since T Mobile has better coverage and more 4G where I live than Sprint.
I'm going to scope it out. Might be something to jump on.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Well I went to the website to check out how much it would be for 2 lines and it would end up costing more on T Mobile. First off you HAVE to finance a device or pay the full price up front. So 2 lines with unlimited everything comes up to $120 per month plus if I were to get 2 HTC Ones that would be an extra $50 per month. So $170 before taxes and fees. I think you have to buy the insurance also but I'm not sure. I'm going to go into a TMobile store and check it out for sure though.

I don't understand why people think these no contract plans are any better than signing a contract.
Why would you want to be on the hook for paying off a 600$ device rather than paying a 200$ early termination fee..
Sprint has the cheapest plans of the major providers flat out, and the network is improving quickly

Exactly. Good info for those who want it. Those who don't shouldn't complain, just stay where they're at. Already sent a link to a friend who was talking about jumping ship from Verizon.
Sent from space...
Yeah I'd rather have my text messages send and receive normally. Past T-Mobile people I've texted have told me of "texting issues" and the whole "edge" thing. No thanks, if my LTE drops, at least 3G is faster than edge. And I'm not giving up my unlimited 4G LTE & tethering. As for upgrades... If I really want the phone like my two HTC Ones then I pay full price. T-Mobile sounds good and all but i know there's a catch there some here. And Sprint made me happy thay my AT&T friends with extreme speeds sometimes ask me to lend my portable hotspot when their LTE drops to HSPA or Edge.

I went to a T-Mobile store today to inquire about it. What kills it for me is that you HAVE to purchase a device from them, and our Ones are only worth $106 in trade-in. Doesn't seem fair when I could sell it on CL for $275. The cost would work out roughly the same. $86/month. They also don't pay the ETF directly. You have to cover it, then you get a prepaid MasterCard in 4-8 weeks. So to start the plan, you're looking at potentially hundreds of dollars.
Yeah, it's contract free, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. Sprint does just fine in Metro Atlanta, and as much as I feel I'm getting boned by them, it's the smallest in the long list of dicks that are phone companies.

Yeah, what he said! I work in Pendergrass, Geogia, which is about 90 miles north of metro Atlanta, and formerly a 3G area if I was lucky. Within the last four months it has gone from spotty 3G to 2 bars of LTE. And that's literally out in the boonies. That much improvement that fast is worth hanging around, especially with the whole Mastercard bait and switch crap. Sprint is really earning my business these days. My penny and a half...
