Verizon to open their preorder 28th and they DO have leather & cheaper than BB

[Lock-N-Load]

According to this Verizon will open prereg order direct tomorrow.

So as many of us know, Best Buy did not show the leather as being available only white, blue, grey. And they want $609 versus $550 direct from Verizon.

So, I might now bail on the Best Buy one I PO'd and order the leather one direct and forgo the $100 best buy gift card since I would have to buy the leather and since the VZW one is $59 cheaper + not having to buy a leather back, now the Verizon direct might be a better deal since I DO want leather.

BB = $609 + tax = 658.79 - $100 gift card = 558.79 + have to buy a leather back (60-80$ so say $60) = $618.79
Verizon = $550 + get leather (and maybe the plastic back I hope as some in the UK get a plastic when they buy the leather so 2 backs in 1 buy) - having to buy a leather back + less tax $44 = $593.98

OR.. maybe get BB to match the $550 price and then you are back to being ahead if you have to buy the leather back but I just called, and they say they do not price match... oh well. Tomorrow I decide if I keep the BB po or order the VZW direct.

ps - And these preorders will begin shipping before its in stores on Thursday, June 4 (which is when BB has earliest pickup).

I'm in the same boat... Lol... Finally pulled the trigger and pre-ordered from BB. But that leather is probably going to make me cancel too.... Choices.... Choices... Lol

Good for you for finding that. I looked at the time I posted on their site & that was not posted. I figured tonight @ 9pm I'd check as that would be the 28th on the east coast.

No matter who I order with - likely Verizon given my logic above - I'm all over the "freebies".

you can actually add the gray and white to cart on verizon. i was thinking about picking up a leather one. i also noticed tmobile leather and regular is same price as well

Ordered a black leather G4! With free 2-day shipping it should arrive 6/3 or 6/4.

I just did the same thing.

So now i have a BB preorder and a Verizon preorder 1 will get cancelled since the Verizon is set to ship 6/1 so maybe 6/3 or 6/4 delivery then I fully expect to cancel the BB preorder - the day I get the VZW phone - because as per above, the direct Verizon is a better deal IF you want leather - and I want leather.

Just cancelled my BB order. Getting the leather from verizon. Just a heads up... I had to call best buy to cancel... Online would not let me.

Or you can live in a state like me with no sales tax and still win leather back is useless unless you're planning on not having a case (which is just stupid).

I can't figure out how to order on Verizon without using my upgrade which I don't want to do

Should just be able to select the full price option. If not, chat with a VZB person and they tend to usually assist pretty well

I had to call and have them do it. I had the same thing happen.

how does one order the black? i just see white, grey and black. is it just the black one?
i dont wanna select the black and get a dark grey plasic or something lol.

also on the tablets that can be bundled, can i get them for wifi only? Ive checked them out, but it seems like there cell phones where i have to pay for 4g and 2yr contract

Yes, it is the "black" one. And yes, they do not make it entirely clear and obvious, especially when on a mobile device.

Some might be able to find out today what we get in the box - and how the phone seems - since Verizon claims "select stores" will have them in shop to see as of today. My local shop did not.

Aw man and now they announce Android M!

I wonder if the G4 will support it...

The phone is here now, today. A new OS is always in the process of coming. We have no real idea when M will hit. I'll roll the dice now.

I'm sure by this time next year..The G4 will probably have the latest version of Android.

Lollipop has barely been adopted and pushed out to phones - atiny laughable 1.6% of Android OS usage - and now they are on to something else. This is part of the fragmentation downside of the Android OS. Most are still on KK and JB. Some might even end up skipping Lollipop usage actually. And even if this phone can support M - which I bet it can - that could be a year away (or more) based on M offical release and then, the provider prepping it for the phone and then pushing it. M? I couldn't care less about M right now.

I agree. My note 4 is on kitkat still and i have no issues with it. I feel no need to upgrade to lollipop yet.
