[Q] Has anyone Pre-Ordered from Verizon before?

---

I am going to Pre-Order this phone when its available, however I have never done it.

Has anyone tried it with a phone in high demand? Like the Droid Incredible or the iPhone? I am just curious if I need to do it the very first day its open in the morning or am I safe to do it within the first day or two?

I bought my Dinc after its release and had to wait about a month to get it...PIA. I don't want to go through that again.


P.S. My upgrade isn't until March 3rd, but I was told I could maybe get an early upgrade. If not then one of my employees has a standard phone and no desire to upgrade so I could switch upgrades with him from what I understand.

I hignly doubt that the GN is going to be a "high demand" device.......but because the nexus is finally going "main stream" i think they will have a large supply....

My guess is that you'll be able to walk into a Verizon or Best Buy store and pick one up on the first day. Having one deliverd on the first day could be iffy.

i'm dropping my sprint contract a few months early, paying them $100 to do so, selling my evo 4g on swappa, and then getting in with flynn @ verizon the day of GN launch. $400 venture minus the profit i make on the evo (assuming less than $200).

I preordered my incredible from Verizon and was lucky I did with the crazy demand and supply issues the phone had. I have doubts there will be a need to preorder the nexus as it has more competition and no known supply issues like the Inc had.

when web only sale hits does anyone know what time they normally release phones? 12midnight? East coast or West coast time? Phone lines open at 6am east coast time because I had to get special permission to upgrade my wife 3 days early on the Droid 3.

I preorder a few verizon phones. You don't need to preorder it right away. You should be able to wait a few days to preorder and still get it day 1.

I have a $400 best buy gift card from doing a buy back with my nexus s. when this phone comes out, i will be buying my phone at best buy so i can get another buy back option plus I'll be selling my basically brand new samsung galaxy s2 + 32gb sd card + 2 batteries which should offset the 200 ETF to move over.

god, i'm gonna hate having a 2gb tier program.

yes you are. so.... why are you switching carriers for it? Do you really want to have LTE?

@martonikaj:

Like DammitCubs, I am also switching from T-Mobile. Truthfully, I am not that hard up for LTE, but there's an ongoing 3G/4G outage in my neighborhood that T-Mobile doesn't seem to be doing anything about. Take a look here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1223379

With regards to tiered data, I'm currently on a 5GB full speed plan with T-Mobile, but I've never gone over 2GB. I don't think Verizon's plan will be an issue.
