Also im making vinyl stickers to cover up that damn branding they will be on amazon soon $5 for 5 in white or grey If devs or anyone needing info on it just ask ill try my best :fingers-crossed: But this may be my new phone :good:

I have a GS3 right now and I'm considering the note 2. Do you think it's worth dropping the $ to get the note 2. I was thinking of selling the GS3 and buying the phone outright, would that be cheapest way of getting one?

Well its however you wanna pic your poison man lol the Note 2 is awesome and all and its super fast and feature packed but to drop that kinda money on it while you have an s3 thats able to root and unlock is hard to ignore Personally Im gonna wait till s4 comes out cause its looking like 5 inch screen and 1080p :good: But it all depends on what you do for a living and what you want your phone to do haha
Talked to my local Costco (So Cal), they said they hoped to get it today but didn't. Should have it any time. I like getting my phones from Costco as the guys who work there are extremely helpful and when we get my Wife's GS3 they were able to keep her unlimited data. Not sure how

HAHA, I've bought my last three phones from Costco. I won't go to the Verizon store anymore.
When we bought my Wife's Inc2 we went to Verizon first. They wanted $199 so out of blind luck we checked Costco, they had it on sale for $30! Best part was that Costco only taxes you on the actual price you pay whereas Verizon taxes you on the full retail price regardless of what you pay for the phone. Don't know how that works but its the case in California.
Also, since we are on the subject: If you pay with your Amex card you get an additional 1 year warranty on the phone. Said Inc2 stopped charging after 16 months of ownership. I called Amex and after answering a few questions we get the full $30 +tax credited to my account essentially making the ownership of that phone free. Good stuff.

I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.
I have an iphone 4S and found someone on ebay willing to trade for the GS II. Should I do the trade??

Sell the iPhone 4S and buy the galaxy s2. I was able to sell my 4S for 580 and I often got 550 offers. I bought my Galaxy S 2 at 400 bucks.
i would trade it if I were you....unless you want to try to sell the iphone. it should sell for quite a bit.
Just make sure that the GS2 isnt scratched/dented/chipped and in perfect condition... otherwise sell your 4S and buy a brand new GS2.
Yeah the guy said its a few weeks old, and it had a screen protector + case on first day so no damage. Which I believe as my 4S is from launch and also not even a scratch even though its all glass.
That is true. I put my 4S on ebay actually with a buy it now of 550 and nothing 4 days later =/. Also they don't even sell the SGS II here (washing it away with the LTE markets coming and the skyrocket). Also having to go through paypal and ebay taking money from me selling, and then buying is kind of a drag. Along with the fact that I would need a phone right away, don't have any other AT&T phones to use in the mean-time. I think I'm just going to do the trade, the guy lives close to me and were meeting at an AT&T store in order for me to get a regular sim as the iphones use micros. Can't wait to root the hell out of it.

Thats what she said!
But seriously... if you cant wait, or dont want to do the Ebay/Paypal thing, then trading is a great way. Also, you can try craigslist... no Ebay/Paypal involved there (I advise to meet in a high-populated area... like in front of a Target or Best Buy).
I actually meant to write craigslist in the initial post lol my bad about that. And were meeting at an AT&T store. Guy seems very genuine so I think it should go well. I need to get the standard SIM for the GSII anyway so I told him to meet an at&t store which is about 5 minutes away from me so no worries there.

Sounds good. Good idea about meeting in front of AT&T. I always advise people to meet in a highly populated area if meeting a stranger... no need to create a possibility for a dangerous situation.
Sounds like you will have your phone soon. Welcome to the GS2... you wont go back.
I went to iOS from android, biggest regret. the 4S was so hyped, and the death of SJ made me want it even more considering how poetic it all was. But now a month later I realize that it isn't for me and that flippin' grid of icons ughh
i love my s2, i came from apple so if that helps, if you want a phone that is simple and limited apple is for you, if you want a beautiful open ended phone that you can custimize this is for you. P.s. just sell the iphone u will make so much more, then buy the s2 they are going for 350-400
UPDATE- Got the phpne WOOO!!!! Guy actually gave it to me already rooted running unNamed v1.3.1. Is this a good ROM or is there better out there? Thanks

I've considered jumping over to the 4S for a very long time. I have an IPad 2 that I love just because it was free and its my college book. I think that is enough Apple in my life, sticking with SGS II for awhile, at least until SGS III hits the market.
I say sell the 4s. There are numerous people internationally that will buy the 4s at an inflated price. Use that to buy a new GS2. Also, watch out for eBay scams. A lot of users with addresses in Nigeria are creating fake invoices anf stealing people's items.

haha I would have tried to sell for more and them bought the s2, as far as roms I am on checkrom revohd thanks to hellraiser and entropy and loving it. the first rom I have actually settled on since getting this phone but your on a great one too. The best thing is there are plenty of options now. enjoy!
Arguably it being pre-rooted and already having UnNamed installed could be worth the money he missed out on. Still, welcome to Android. Converted from the 3GS to an Inspire 4G to a GSII. Both better than my iPhone ever was.
Go to your local AT&T and ask about the Note and tell them you have it preordered at bestbuy and ask them if you could get it from them they will sell it to today at least that's what I was told I am really thinking about getting it
You could always give it a try. Although I'm skeptical about this happening.

I'd say it's worth a shot if you have the time and you live close-by to an at&t store. And if you're really welling to pay $300 for a new contract.
But for some people, they probably feel that $300 is a rip-off for subsidized. So they're gonna wait for other 3rd party vendors to drop the price first before making the purchase.

If you have been to a store that has both colors of the GS2 Skyrocket on display, then it should be easier for you to make a decision. Just think of the Note as being larger than the Skyrocket.

Is that even possible? To convince the almighty Verizon to give me an early upgrade
yea u can^ keep calling around... someone wants a sell
200 is an excellent deal if its in the condition they say it is and has the beats headphones. It's still a good deal without the headphones.
make sure you verify the esn before purchase.
Its easy to get early upgrades from Verizon if you call them. It has become pretty difficult in store as of late as they all seem to have the same script. Just tell them your current phone is driving you bat **** and you cant take it anymore. Also mention you've tried to wait it out. They will ask you what phone you want, and then they will send you the phone overnight for whatever 2yr price is currently listed on the VZ website. Your upgrade will vanish and your upgrade cycle will restart.
You could always buy the Rezound off contract now and get whatever phone is at the top of the pile in august.
I picked up a GNEX on CL for 275.00 even though I have an upgrade available. It replaced my sons DX2. I'm saving the upgrade for the next great VZ phone, which will save me from a 600-800 dollar off contract price on release day(impulse buyer).
I currently have 5 lines and I try to keep one upgrade available at all times just in case.

I've gotten upgrades 1 year + early. Just depends on who you talk to and what you say. Also factors such as tenure, payment history , ARPU (how much $$ you are worth to VZW) etc etc.
oh wow that could mean I could get the rez for 50 bucks now. I really don't see too may phones popping up other than the one v but even then we've hit a point in hardware where only battery tech may improve over the next year. 1.5ghz dual core and plenty of ram will run sense4.0 easy along with any 3.5 rom.
I've only been with vzw for a year and a half now with a family plan of 3 lines but my phone is my main line of work communication calls emails etc.

They're pushing out Quadcore SoC's already this year. It's nice but totally unecessary, at this point hardware is overpowered. At this point in game it's all about software optimizations. But manufacterer's need to make them cash dollars $$$. Just try calling Verizon when they open up tomorrow and see if you can get your upgrade pushed.

But manufacterer's need to make them cash dollars $$$. Just try calling Verizon when they open up tomorrow and see if you can get your upgrade pushed.

Off contract, $200 is a steal, go for it.

Really? That's extremely disappointing considering just a month ago I paid $199 for it.

Call Verizon, I believe they will credit you if it's been within a certain period you bought the phone.

Is this phone still worth $200 barely used? I want to replace my old incredible asap.

id say it's a steal considering most rezounds i see on ebay and craigslist still go for $300+.
Has anyone yet purchased the Verizon LG V10? Im about to take the leap and just do it, but was hoping someone here has already.
I'm obviously concerned it will be locked down tight and root will be impossible, like so many other Verizon devices. I'm coming from Nexus devices, so this is going to be a large change for me if I do actually do it.
I will get it once bestbuy has them in stock 11/6

I'm curious about this too.
I took the plunge on the Note 5, thinking I could live without root. I hated it. Gave it to my wife and am using her old phone while I wait.
The V10 would be my choice if root is possible, I don't care about the bootloader. If not I'll go Nexus. I need to decide before I miss out on the 200gb sd card promotion.
I got mine yesterday and it's alot different than my note 3. If there's no root I will definitely get rid of it. I really like everything about it except at the bottom where the lg logo is. I wished they would have used it somehow for the home buttons. The power and volume controls are gonna take a while to get used to them. Overall if I have root, I will love it.

Which color did you get?
I'm wondering if the Verizon Luxe White is the same as the "rose gold" color that is on the Korean model used in all the You Tube reviews.

Please post some pics of it, if you can.
I got mine the day it came out. I LOVE this phone. Best phone I've ever had and I change phones every 6 months. Verizon bands are good too. I decided on black one

Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm thinking of getting the V10 today. VZ only has the Black and White versions (that i've physically seen) Seems like a badass phone. I hope root comes soon and a good dev support. I'm coming from the G3
Not in stores
Just called the 3 closest Verizon stores. None of them have the V10 yet.

This what you want?
Oh, well. I broke down and went and got the V10 today. The 200gb sd card promo got me. Root or bust, now.
Was kind of bummed Verizon screwed me out of factory ear buds again. I liked the look of those rose gold ear buds.
I'm waiting till the 15th when I can get with monthly payments and just catch the LG promo on it's last day. Praying to hear some root/bootloader news for something other than a tmobile device by that time.

Make sure they are actually checking the Verizon store by me got the order and when I went to pick up my phone they said it wasn't there and they aren't getting it. After research they found out that the phones was mixed with the new Droid 2 phones
Oh, fwiw, there is also an extra Verizon promo. $80 rebate applied as a credit to your account.
may I have the promo code or how you can get the $80 credit ? thanks

The Verizon rep just told me about it in store. I didn't know anything about it.

What are the details of it, only on payment plan or will it work for full retail price?
