Galaxy Note 2 waiting Lounge

[beefchopper]

Earlier in this thread there is a video of drop tests with the N2 and it fares much better than I would have expected.

I guess I'm of mixed opinion on the insurance issue. They are really only good for the first year, or perhaps less than that. After that you start getting other phones as replacements and you've payed enough into it to buy a decent phone. But then again, if something happens to your N2....

As I said I'm not a believer in the insurance either. I did see the drop test but also saw another one somewhere on this board that showed someone drop a Note 2 from their lap while sitting in a car with the door open and onto the street. The screen cracked. The Note is surprisingly thin and just didn't seem to me to have much top protect that huge expanse of glass. After seeing it, I'm surprised it survived the drop test shown in the video you're referring to. I'd either drop the insurance after a year or buy the square trade insurance which is one payment of I think $125 for 2 years of coverage rather than the monthly billed VZW Assurian insurance.

Thanks for that tip. I had never heard of them. Have you ever tried a claim with them?

I just checked a quote on their website and saw it was $112.50 for 2 years of coverage and only a $50 deductible but with a maximum value of $599 so since the phone costs more then that effectively the deductible is larger if the phone gets lost.

Good news is I walked into Verizon and the agent offered me a free Galaxy Note 2. I was freakin' out.

Bad news is it looks like SH**!

All the reps seem to be getting emails that preorders are a good to go at midnight. They don't know shipping info, but say it should be listed when you order.

I think I'll stay up for it.

Its like a McDonalds drive thru they get your money first so they don't care when you get it they wouldn't care if you drove off since you already paid .

I'm honestly speechless. I didn't think big red would go as far as to brand a freaking home button. Who the hell does that?!?!?!

They also got their branding on a Nexus phone. It's there instead of Google of all things! It must be because they are hurting for money and need the exposure?!

I would be speechless if they didn't. They have a long history of treating their customers like crap.
