Now we know why the Verizon Note 2 is being held back till the end of the month...

Depending on how the logos are printed on the device, you might be able to use a pasty sugar water mix to gently remove the logos. The thought of using a razor blade on plastic kind of scares me.

Agreed. I would personally rather try securely covering all of the phone/ports/etc except for the button, and use some type of spray enamel designed the material, and clear coat to change the color of the button.

It would be amazing if the DNA came out before the Note 2, lol

Nothing amazing about. It's all according to Verizon's keikaku.

However, the rumors the Droid DNA will only have a 2,020 mAh battery makes me laugh. HTC never learns when it comes to battery life, ever. They always have the worst battery life and they are mystified why their marketshare has gone in the toilet the past year or so. Battery life matters, and HTC just doesn't get it.

I read ~2500 mah. Who really knows though. Either way it won't be nearly as long battery as the note, so no contest in that dept.

I'm surprised nobody has brought this up but I have heard the other US variants of the Note 2 were shipped without the multiscreen feature that the Galaxy S3 has. T-Mo, ATT, And sprint will be issuing a update at some point to enable that but hopefully the Verizon version will ship with all the features of the phone actually there.

Ok this has been brought up a million of times in all the threads! VERIZON ADVERTISES IT ON THERE PAGE. IT WILL SHIP WITH IT! Sorry but I'm getting annoyed from seeing the same question over and over again.

Ok that's great you're so mad about this but this thread was about why it's being held back particularly on Verizon and I brought that up instead of speculation that Verizon somehow has it out for Samsung. Also I didn't ask a question but rather made a statement.

Also, the Sprint update went out recently(Nov 7) that enabled this feature.

I'm not getting mad its just a little annoying seeing the same question over and over again. I dont want to start some stupid fight on this thread so lets just drop it.

ON TOPIC: The DNA is being released on the 20th. Before the note 2. So you were right OP since they didn't get droid branding on the note 2 there not advertising it and there pushing it back.

Couple people over at Verizon community forum have been told by Verizon employees that phone will be available in store 11/15 and preorders ship 11/13.

I can still hope!!!

I really doubt that but i would love to be proven wrong.:good:

I have been told this as well. When I said the preorder is dated to ship on the website on the 27th they responded with what? it is? lol. Most of the online reps/customer service reps that you use when you call I think check on their computers to verify the date it comes out/they've checked enough to know when it comes out.

While people in-store are really cocky sometimes and act like they know everything about phones - including the release dates. My treatment at VZW goes as such, in-store, sometimes douchebags, but can be really helpful if they are trying to make you happy - free cases, waived fees, credits on acct, etc.... Online/customer service #'s =, not really helpful -- i had an issue with VZW and htey offered me a $20 credit. After talking to someone in-store I got a $60 credit, but they are usually pretty accurate with their information.

 

[computingwarren]

Where have you guys seen that Nov 15th date?

I'd love to get it this week!

 

[Zues532]

If you check the phone on VZW's website the display shows the date as Nov. 15th

While I would be so psyched to get this phone 2 weeks early, I wouldn't hold my breath on it being released that day. Not with the HTC J Butterfly being released on the 20th anyway

 

[davud2]

I really hope this is true. I think the long wait is ridiculous. I might just go talk to the store to confirm this...

From some of the reps in-store I have gotten this answer. I gave a reason in my post before this.

As stated, I don't think that image means much. There are other stock images of the phone without the VZW logo with this date, as well as one in Aug/Dec.

 

[computingwarren]

I will be so happy if it releases this week

 

[kimdoocheol]

Sigh, maybe if there was more consistency I'd believe that it would be released early.

From VZW boards.

Tarayla: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

Me: Hey I was curious as to when the pre-order for the Galaxy note two will ship? I Kinda Need to know so I can put some funds into the account.

Tarayla: If you order today then you can get it within 2 weeks, so it would be shipped in a week.

Me: So when would be funds be taken out? when it ships?

Tarayla: Yes that is correct!

Cory: Can you tell me if Verizon has a more accurate ship date on the Note 2. I pre-ordered one and it says it will ship by 11/27. Can it be sooner?

Britney: I'd be happy to assist you.

Britney: Yes, you should receive the phone on or before that date.

Cory: OK, so it may come before? A chat person told a friend of mine they were shipping on 11/16?

Britney: You should receive your phone before 11/27.

Cory: I want to make sure I have the funds in my account for it since I couldn't have it billed to my account because it was a pre-order.

Cory: OK..ty, I better get the money there, just incase!

Britney: Yes. Is there anything else that I can assist you with online today?

Cory: no, thank you!

I wouldn't count on any release date before 11/27. But then again it doesn't matter for me because my upgrades not until the 25th.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be saying that if you had pre-ordered your phone.

All of us want it to come early, and as you can see, from VZW there have been inconsistent messages relayed to the consumers. Anyways, it is funny because we keep quoting VZW boards and they keep quoting us.

The first person I talked to when pre-ordering my phone said the same thing though, it is possible it will be released early, but don't count on it. However, each subsequent person i've talked to has given me a different answer and someone at a retail store told me the 15th, so who the hell knows for sure?

I'm also getting mixed answers, both in-store and online, but I'm not going to hold my breath until I get an email saying my pre-order has shipped. One gentleman at my local Corporate store mentioned that his information shows that pre-orders are due to start shipping out at the latest BY the 27th, not necessarily ON the 27th. He stated "The 27th is the latest date when all pre-orders should be shipped out. Those that pre-ordered early may get their devices before the 27th. Those that ordered later will have theirs shipped before, or at the latest on the 27th." I then spoke with another associate who mentioned she had heard that the phone may start shipping around the 15th, but that was just what she overheard, not what she read anywhere on any Verizon paperwork.

I cant wait for mine to be shipped. I played with one in Sprint store yesterday, but had to pull myself away.
