I went from 32GB to 16GB because I prefer the Blue over the White...and no stores around me had a 32GB Blue.
Well that's just messed up right there :)

While I love my White ATT (16GB), and HATE HATE the fake-brushed-metal blue version with purple button and non-hidden back-lit leds... I'd actually switch to Blue just to the double internal storage (even though I already have 64GB external storage.)

Has anyone gotten their verizon BLUE 32gb phone yet? Seems like the BB's around me have every version except the blue 32. And dont have a clue when they are supposed to get it. I even preordered on 6/12.

Got mine and my price match for my discount...I need to double check...but I think they screwed up and didn't put it as a renewal...cause the register said $799 before he overrode it and entered $200. Will be interesting to see what my account says later.

They're going to get their money from VZW, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I got mine and I am loving it! Fyi they did price match the radio shack promotion for the $50 off any upgrade. So get your money people cuz it ends soon.

Wait.... in your excitement, you added a line AND you didn't bother having them price match to get it for $149 too? What are you going to do with two lines, give one to family? Hope so or else you just signed up for about $2400 worth of phone bills just to get a phone subsidized....
Yes I added a line and a family member is using it. Yes to me it's worth adding a line and getting it subsidized. And finally radio shack got some in stock in my area so I was able to price match AND I got a $50 gift card because I did make a complaint to the corporate office. The lady I spoke to was very accommodating. So I got it for $100. And I'm pretty sure you used Svoice to come up with $2400, so I'll let that slide. According to my calculations it would be $720 over 2 years. $10 for the line $20 for the data X 24 months. I canceled the insurance on my original 2 phones because one I just sold, skyrocket, and my wife's Atrix is ready to go. So that's another $15/mo I'll be saving for a grand total of a bill $15/mo more than I'm paying now. Makes perfect sense to me. I can handle it. :) Thanks for looking out for me Einstein.

I used basic calculations to come up with that figure - my cell phone bill is $100/month, and over 2 years, that's $2400. I guess it takes an Einstein to you to become a mind reader to assume that I used S Voice to do a simple calculation, but in reality, you would know that when YOU ASSume........

just went and got my 32GB Pebble Blue from BB today. according to the manager there were only 6 total in KS, the first blue that have made it to BB atleast (all this is what he said, maybe they had some for other carriers and this was the first Verizon set that showed up), and they all went to the store in Wichita. they were doing upgrades for everyone and keeping the Unlimited 4G for those who preordered before the Verizon cutoff for it, somehow i managed to keep Unlimited 4G and Unlimited Hotspot without them doing anything. told me to watch it and let them know if it changes in the next 14 days.


so make sure they fight to keep your Unlimited data when upgrading, they can do it if they put forth the effort.

I'm having major issues with my phone and hope to exchange it at Best Buy. I have the insurance and it's been about 30 days since purchase. One issue is that it has corrupted my SD card twice already.

I shouldn't have l any problems exchanging, right?

Also, if I can exchange, do I need to return the box and accessories too?

Anyone?
