Soooo Question,

I work at 7am tomorrow, and wont be able to get to Verizon.

So I was sending my dad up to Verizon with money at 10am.
But im going to need my current phone active until I get off work tomorrow. (5pm)

So what you guys are saying is, you can't buy this phone with your two year upgrade, and walk out with it still not activated?
That sucks, I was gonna activate it when I got home from work, so that way I still had a phone to use while I was at work.

That would seriously blow....
But it doesn't make much sense, how would people buy phones as Christmas gifts, if they had to be activated right at the time of purchase? They don't. They buy them and wait until After they give it as a gift for Christmas to activate it.

Lmao! My local verizon* Haha, my bad.

Just called again and set up my plan.

Verzion said they can't hold the phone for me now, but I can call in 10minutes prior to waling into the store and reserve one, and instead of waiting until after to school to get it, my parents allowed me to be able to skip gym and go purchase the phone during that time.. Still have to go back to school sadly though. But whatever!

Edit - Wait, it's not my bad.. I meant I called my self*. Instead of waiting for someone else to ask. I guess I used the wrong "myself" though.. so it is my bad. You know what, never mind.

"Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Need the real early guys to let me know if the Weather Channel app works. I check that baby every day and need it!

Problem solved. And didn't have to waist a valuable piece of post-it note paper.

Added goosedeath. All requests shall be honored (unlike a certain big red logo company).

For some reason, just felt myself compelled to move money up to #2 on the list. Plus, hard to argue with his logic.

Wow it's amazing what having information did to this thread, it's so lonely in here *sits down at table in an empty room*

Ok, just got back from VZW Zone.

1. There is no activation fee when upgrading a device. The activation fee is a one time fee when starting a new line(or if your phone gets shut off due to nonpayment).

2. The camera is SICK! I played with it for a good 15-20 minutes. The key is to hold it steady, when trying to take 50 pictures in a second your jerking the phone since they did away with the shutter button on the side of the phone and went with the onscreen button. The pictures were crisp and clear, every one of them. Panorama is awesome, and it shot awesome videos too.

There wasn't really anything else I could do with it since they literally just took it out of the box for me to see so it wasn't activated nor could I use wifi(encrypted). I can verify there are only the two Verizon apps that we knew about already on it, that's it. Comes with ICS 4.0.1. Doesn't feel cheap or "plasticy", it's actually quite comfortable, light and thin. Didn't feel too big either. Screen was mind-blowing, no "screen door" effect what-so-ever. The transitioning was super fast and it handled everything from opening/exiting apps to switching home screens with ease. I'm 1000% getting this phone tomorrow, through hell or high water, nothing is going to stop me or change my mind.
