Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[crimton]

that is exactly what i am hoping to do with my grandmas upgrade on a totally separate account lol. can that be done even though it is a sep acct.? also she doesn't have the data pkg so kdon't know if that makes a difference either.

same situation she doesnt have data either, i called verizon twice and asked to make sure and they guy said you can buy a phone and do whatever you want with it..

in this case, go to verizon with her, buy phone on contract, dont activate it (he said i wouldnt have to) and then just call on behalf of my account and activate the phone that way..

he said you dont have to add data until you activate it on the specific account all they care about is the piece of paper you sign saying your going to be with verizon for 2 more years.. thats the important thing.. only downer is he said i may have trouble putting insurance on the the device on my account vs hers

That wont work in the sotre. The reps will activate it on the account buying it. Order online and it will work just fine

thanks for the replies, yea i'd rather not drag my 83 year old grandmother to wait in line at verizon for a half hour lol. i try not to do business at the actual verizon store, they are all rude and always extremely crowded. not to mention they are not nearly as helpful as a csr you get on the phone, in my experience anyways.

my roomate just bought a fascinate and didnt activate it til he got home.. so maybe different for different stores..

do they offer pre-order to pick up in store the day its available? I dont want to wait for the mail man! lol

if you order it online theres a good chance you will get it a day or two early..maybe more. i got my incredible the day before release so i will definitely be ordering online and waiting for fed-ex

thats a good point i dont think my gma will be willing to wait in line either lol.. maybe i can have her add me as an account holder for the night and i can just take care of it myself... lol

Is this for real? I am having a hard time believing my eyes....

Call *611, they'll confirm pre-orders start Friday.

Miami, have you actually seen one, or going by other people? I remember a similar event over at Androidforums in regards to VZW Froyo release for the Inc, by a person we fondly called "Burn Notice". The thread went for thousands of posts, even after the confirmed date for Froyo 2.2 failed to happen.

Not suggested you are Burn Notice, but that person also had firm inside info that did not pan out and was against all the apparent logic at the time (it was not ready yet).

11/12 will be a learning experience for this rube, since if it does happen, it will easily be the best kept secret of 2010 and major kudos to VZW for keeping it so

Countin' on you, Miami!

Um actually 2...

and again let me say this...until I see a press release i hold back some too... but the info is solid as far as I know.... I am not "burn" but I understand your thoughts..

For those of you carrying a D1..I see TBH has something coming to you today "maybe a few hours" so check thier app... Dx and D@ owners.. I hear something for us is coming also.. It may just not be tonight

I'm sorry. That was more of a "I must be dreaming. This doesn't seem real" type comment before. I'll take your word for it

Now....to get my wife to agree to let me spend the money. I need a plan....:icon_ devil:

I called, asked about pre-orders Friday... didn't mention a device name, and the rep threw out "Oh for the Droid Incredible HD?"....

If you talk to 20 different reps, you'll get 20 different answers... just the way it is.

TBH?

I'm sorry. I'm an idiot and probably should know what this means. Just not clicking.

Well I asked about several different things. The Droid Incredible HD, she knew nothing about it, and also the VeriPhone, she says its just media speculation and says Apple has a deal with AT&T, and they might get it in 2012 when LTE is completed

So am I correct in assuming that this phone will NOT be global and that the only the Merge will? I'm eligible for a new phone to replace my crapberry Storm. I need global and I need it before I travel next month. So to you all in the know, are my choices only the D2G and the Merge?
