Thank you for your kind answer.

lol i just need to laugh today ....i have been dying for this droid 4 to come out cause i really am just ready for 4g...but if you do have any quesitons i have compiled a pretty good amount of links and other things, just trying to get all the information i can cause i think this might be a release day purchase at best buy for me ... mainly cause i have a 45 day return limit due to me being a silver member and no restocking fee...
Are you def getting the droid 4 or just waiting to see????

 

[silverfang77]

I'm not due for my upgrade until July, so am forced to wait and see. If the D5 isn't out by then, I'll get the D4, unless people find something major to hate about this phone after they've bought it.

watch craigslist i always see people selling phones a few months after they got them for various reasons u may be able to pick one up for dirt cheap. i got a droid 2 global with battery and all it was a certified new model for 100 dollars someone had an upgrade and decided that they would use the insurance on the old phone before the upgrade so i got the droid 2 global last week for 100 cause my regular died. my friend has 5 lines and 1 is a standard line but they always use his upgrade to buy the latest and greatest and then sell it to pay for the other phones.

I'm a bit leery of buying anything electronic from sites like Craigslist and eBay because I bought a Sprint 3G modem once and it wouldn't register on the network (probably bad ESN).

If I were to buy the D4 early, would that void my contract and force me to pay more on my monthly bill? Also, how would I transfer my phone number from my D2 to the new phone?

Thanks.

What i did and its pretty safe is have them meet you at a verizon store. explain to the rep that you are buying the phone from them and that you would like to have it put on your account (tell the person you are buying from that it will take 15 min) then once it is on you account and working pay them... if they live in a good area you could always go to there house and explain before that you will need to use their phone to verify the esn and add the phone. that way you dont get screwed. i like meeting at the store though. its safe for both parties involved and you get instant verification. Anyone who wont allow you to verify the phone isnt worth dealing with no matter what paperwork or nonsense they fart out.


oh nothing changes with your bill

 

[silverfang77]

That sounds like good advice. I'll keep it in mind.

Are you referring to buying it at retail price? If so then no. My upgrade date is March 2013. Just bought the bionic off of somebody last week. Replaced my D3. Only thing that changed was i went from an unlimited 3g plan to an unlimited 4g plan. Price still is the same. In regards to your number just tell them that you are replacing the phone and you want to put it on the original line.

Got me a D3 off craigslist yesterday for a sweet deal. Met the guy at a Verizon store, clerk checked it out. D3 was clean and activated right away. Paid the guy, went on with my day. So far so good, no issues with the D3.

Super smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The D3 is still new technology. Honestly I was close to picking one up from a customer for 150! But I was offered early upgrade with 150 off any 4g a couple months ago and took the Razr..lol By I love the D2 and the D3 as well as the og..Congrats !!!

Yup. Im happy I went thru with the purchase. I still have an available upgrade and my VZW contract is up at the end of Feb. I still got my D1, as an alarmclock/music player. Now I just need to put this D3 on a diet and remove some bloatware and life will be good. Think I will keep it stock

But gosh darn. That D4 is looking sweet. I hope I have the strength to not sell my D1 and D3 towards an upgrade to the D4. Life can be mean.

Yes I would agree so many people argue about all the new phones and how they're not perfect and how they get replaced all the time. As long as you like the phone you get that's all that matters!
