There is a Droid 3 Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal going on, Ive heard from people over at androidcentral that if you go to the verizon store theyll let you get your second even though we bought ours from the 7th-14th. I might go and try later, anyone else wanna let me know if they try and succeed?
I am SO trying this when my D3 comes in the mail today.
This might be obvious but I didn't know... I called Verizon today and they said the bogo deal only applies to accounts with 2 or more lines.
I was hoping to get a backup D3 lol
sweet, i might be able to work with that. since... there are like 3 lines on my account. =D
I'm pretty sure you have to have two lines eligible for upgrade and that the two-fer extends both contracts two years.
I got the bogo, you need an eligible line, or new line to get the free phone. I bought mine on the 7th, walked in on the 21st and got the free phone no questions asked really. They just looked up on my account that I previously bought the phone.

you can buy it from amazon for $49.99 trying to see if they do bogo. if not two phones still cheaper than one any place else.
It's just a new hue for a seven-month-old phone, but there are still a few Nexus 4 enthusiasts who are ecstatic that a white version has finally been released. It officially launched two days ago in Hong Kong, but it's now hitting the US Google Play Store, as well as T-Mobile's website "for a limited time." If the $299 / $349 Play Store price is above your budget, the UnCarrier's financing plan will be your best option: it's offering the alabaster Android device for $20 down with 24 monthly payments of $17. If your country's Play Store isn't selling the new color yet, be patient -- its rollout over the rest of North America, Asia and Europe will continue over the next few weeks.

Where's my free bumper? I just bought my Nexus 2 months ago
Oh well. Even had I had the knowledge of all of this two months ago, I wouldn't have waited.
Ugh I just received my Nexus 4 in the mail yesterday and found out about the free bumper promotion. Called Google today, they told me to return the phone and reorder it for the free bumper, I asked them if i could just get my order refunded $20. They said no, It's ****ing backwards how they want to do this. I already got my screen protector applied and my phone rooted and custom rom installed; I'm just gonna cut my losses and take the $20 hit.
Edit: Might as well try emailing them, I got nothing to lose.
T-Mobile posted on Facebook saying the white one is available through them too in limited quantities. But it says online "Note: This item is not eligible for a monthly payment plan." So you would be paying $427 99 from T-Mobile up front.
Ordered the white one today... Time to sell the black one

I am thinking of getting the Nexus 4 now since it will be my first smartphone and this promotion is too hard to pass up. Any suggestions on which storage option I should pick? I plan to root, install custom rom and just experiment a lot with it. Have the occasional videos and music and some games/apps too.
8gb or 16gb, thoughts? Thanks.

I don't store any media on my device and I have 6.32GB left. All the space is taken by nandroids and apps and stuff. I guess if you're really going to get into flashing ROMs and experimenting with your phone, I'd go 16gb, just so you have to shuffle things from your device to the computer way less.

Okay makes sense, but in regards to flashing ROMS, wouldn't I have to factory reset after each flash and as a result all data would be deleted?
Thread Closed, we only need one thread about the new nexus white - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298409
Any update on if there in any of the stores? Anyone planning on picking one up?
Picked up a customize card at a local AT&T store. They had a white display model out that I played with while it took them 45 minutes to figure out how to ring me up (no joke).
Now I get to wait 11 days for my phone to be shipped. So much from created to in your hands within 4 days!

That's what I'd like to know. That's what MotoMaker quoted me when I ordered. Nothing unusual about my phone best I could tell, but won't be seeing it until after Labor Day.
Anyone successfully pick one up today?
I'm waiting for the store to open.... :_/

Jeeze I hope their not already that far behind! That's why I'm here at opening so don't have to worry about it. On the other hand, maybe I do..... Did you call moto on it? 3 times the wait is on the excessive side...

Went into the store and got a MotoMaker card for a 32GB (can only get 32GB online, apparantly). my shipping date is:
Est. Delivery Wednesday, 09/04/13*
ugh.
Guess everyone is going the MotoMaker route..
Anyone buying a stock branded MotoX?
Would like to see hands on images....
Talk about short sighted. 16 GB is too small and 32 only available online. No way they're going to be able to meet the shipped to you in 4 days promise. AT&T
Should have stocked the 32 in stores
Went into the store here and they didn't even have it out let alone the sales guy didn't even know it was a new phone. Took them over an hour to figure out how to sell it to me. Went on moto maker told me twelve days to ship. We shall see. Ugh!

Chicago metro area... no AT&T stores have 32GB stock. Only 16GB.
MOTO/AT&T FAIL!

Not really shortsighted on their part. The reason why they don't mass produce the 32gb version is that 16gb is more than enough for most people, and it's easier for them to stock only one and have the few people who want the 32gb to order directly. It just sucks for the few people who end up having to order it.

Me too. I was there for over an hour. On top of it, they screwed up somewhere along the way and now my LTE doesn't work. The good news is, I was only eligible for an exception upgrade, but for some reason I only paid the full upgrade price. So I walked in expecting to pay around $550, but walked out only paying $360. I'll deal with having no LTE for a few days to save that kind of money (they can't get it working again without redoing the whole process, which could put me back at the correct pricing). But yeah, I got the same 12 day ship time. What happened to 4 days????

I understand why they did it (as you state above), but 16gb is NOT enough for most people. 16gb means you get about 10-11gb usable. If you actually use your phone you will run out of space. Thinking 5gb of music (not much), 10 mega pixel pictures, and 1080p videos... I would argue most people will run out of space after 6-8 months. Of course I'm not even mentioning apps and everything else that will take space on the device. Giving 50GB of google drive space is a bull**** answer. I don't always have network connectivity or want to use data (using battery and carrier networks) to get my data. Its a cop out. Google's mindset of putting everything is the cloud is great for the ideal world in the future, but not for now.
/end rant. Like I said, I understand all the reasons why they do it, but I vehemently disagree..

It's about keeping what you need most on the device and then keep the rest in cloud if you it. 11gb is still a lot. I usually carry around about 4gigs of music (500+ songs) too, and my apps don't take up more than another 2gigs. The few gigs that are left is enough to download files and TV shows, and for other normal usage like taking pictures. I have never found myself short on space because I constantly offload my pictures and videos like most people do.

Obviously short sighted if people are complaining about having to go home to pay them money for a 32GB.
I took a look at my gmail account today and noticed I had much more space than expected. I actually had an extra 60GB so when I checked my storage I found 2 promotions. One is from the Quickoffice promotion (10GB for 2 years) but I also have an entry for an unknown promotion that is 50GB for 2 years. Does anyone know what it might be from?
I'm aware of the 50GB for 2 years that is with the Moto X but I don't own that device so it can't be from that.
Edit: nevermind. The 10gb is from the initial sign in with the new quickoffice app. The 50gb was from the promo for those that bought the older one.
When i got my galaxy s2 i was given 50GB of dropbox which made me happy, when I upgraded to an s4 i was pleased because the the 50GB was renewed. I heard the Note 4 contined the deal but was dismayed to realise the deal was now only applicable to new customers!
I partly stuck with Samsung due to this and am shocked to be left with an email saying that in 2 months i will have to drop 9GB of data to be able to keep any more.
Dropbox only offer 1TB, i dont need that much. 50GB was fine and i like Dropbox a lot. However i have 1TB 'sky'/'one' drive with Microsoft I'll have to get used to now.
I'm upset with both Samsungs & Dropbox over this... i assumed sticking with Samsung meant good cloud provision!
Same here....
I was hoping for the same thing. Dropbox gave me 3 more free GBs. Looks like it's time to join sky. Was fun while it lasted.
I was also faced with the same problem. However, instead of signing in, I signed up again with a new account and got the free 50GB (after doing a few introductory steps). Then I went to my computer, copied the old dropbox directory to the desktop, then uninstalled dropbox, and reinstalled with the new credentials. I then placed the contents of the old dropbox directory into the new one. It took me 10 hours to re-upload the 38GB I had in dropbox. I then deactivated my old dropbox account entirely (just so I can do this again when the Note 5 comes out )
You can also easily add another 18GB by doing some silly referrals. Or you can go buy these referrals from eBay for $5 for the 18GB.
Just wanted to add that if I had to pay, it would definitely be for Sky-one-drive. The 1TB option with them costs $69/year (vs $100 for dropbox) and for that you get the same 1TB as dropbox, plus office365 for a year, plus 60 free world minutes on skype per month. That's so much better than dropbox, I can't imagine how they are not trying to compete harder.
I'd become rather fond of old Dropbox over the years but fortunately I have 1TB of Sky/Onedrive with my M$ Office subscription so will start using that more. It will probably be more convenient anyway.
I hope this thread helps others realise they should set up a new Dropbox account rather than reactivate a previous one.. the warnings are there but i thought it would be okay.
I do not understand why Dropbox don't have a cheaper 50 or 100GB option? Im not a heavy cloud user despite using it for all pictures & work related stuff but i can't justify the monthly cost of 1TB of storage with them when Google only charge a couple of quid.
Well done Dropbox you've lost a lot of potential custom, thank you and goodbye.
Oh we all know we can setup a new one. The problem is the hassel in doing so. I might as well make the switch if I'm starting over again.
At least Dropbox finally lowered their price. Not to long ago they were charging a lot for data. But as others said where is my 100 GB option option?
Make a new dropbox account with different email. Got to pc. Log out the old one and log in the new one. It will create a new dropbox folder. Then go to the old dropbox folder and copy everything to the new folder. This is how I get back my 50gb storage

I've moved almost everything to my OneDrive now except the camera upload.. Microsoft have made a meal of the feature by forcing notifications on me when it pauses automatic uploads when not on wifi. Do not like!
I'm sticking with Dropbox for camera uploads as I will still have 10GB with them after they downgrade me. I'm not interested in Dropbox now they've busted the renewal relationship with Samsung.
I don't know why dropbox/samsung did this "new customers only" BS.... I got a free year with Evernote through Samsung's Note 4 promo, even though I already have a premium account with them.
I was too annoyed by this, however I went to Google Drive and upgraded to 100GB package which only costs $1.99 a month, so less than $24 a year for 100GB, seems like the best deal out there.
See here http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/...x-bonus-space-on-samsung-galaxy-s5-no-chance/
This was situation with S5. Lots of people added their views too on thread.
Wow I didn't know that.. my other half had the s5 when it came out and got the free space. As I said in the OP I first got my space with my Galaxy s2 and it was renewed with the Galaxy s4, of course I assumed this tradition would continue.
