I saw the "why I chose sony" post and thought I'd share my point of view. I'll apologize in advance for this long rant.
My first sony android phone was the xperia zl. I specifically got this phone to replace my note 2 while I waited impatiently for the z1 to come out. Now, I've always tinkered with my android phones and never had any issues, but this was another story. Hard bricked. The zl was dead. I was able to revive it with a series of disassemblies and messing with the battery. Not the best experience, but whatever - I was still excited about the z1.
Fast forward, and I finally got to purchase the z1 c6906 in black for a hefty 800 usd. Absolutely loved the device. The tinkering continued, and when I started playing with getting 4.3 loaded, the phone crapped out on me. Instead of taking it apart, I sent it into sony just before christmas.
They held onto it for weeks without any sort of update (14 business days is their turnaround time). Mid January, a new, replacement phone was shipped to my door. Turn it on... or not. It's a dud.
Call sony, and they apologize and send me a prepaid label to send it back for another replacement. They assure me that this process will be quick, but it just goes through their standard RMA process again. 14 business days come and go. Now they say repairs are delayed because it's a "grey market" device (wtf?). They finally say a replacement was authorized, but all they have is the phone in purple, and they have no idea when the black one will be back in stock. I told them to ship the purple one. Whatever.
One week later, the replacement phone still hasn't shipped.
My current phone is a red Nexus 5, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'll be selling the purple z1 c6906 if/when I ever receive it. Thanks, sony.
TL;DR no more sony because of locked down phones and horrible support.
I'm sorry to hear you got bad support. The support I got with my Z1 was the best I ever had so that sucks for you. Good luck with your N5

I think the support I got is probably atypical, but it still left a sour taste in my mouth. Everyone was super apologetic, but no one kept his/her promises to follow up or resolve the problem.

No phone is perfect... that's why I'm happy to buy a new phone every 4-6 months . I've already got offers flying in for the replacement phone (see above lol).
it is a very serious offer.
400$ is a good figure, as a brand new z1 purple with dock, & 25$ in free 'gifts' could be had for 578$.
savings would be slightly significant for me, but not too much where one would not simply consider purchasing brand new if you decline the offer.
thanks
This is rather mild as far as a "i'll never buy x" thread goes.
I'd read an instance of a Z owner having to face half the purchase price in replacement charges due to a cracked screen. No free replacement was offered. This person after blowing his horn goes on to buy a Z1 a few months later.
Go figure

A C6906? Where?
No more Sony for me either but it has nothing to do with phones. After buying a PS3 and seeing first-hand how little they care about the fact that hackers run rampant on their PSN and they do nothing to stop them, I will not spend any more money on Sony.

I had a similar experience with my Z purchased in April, later discovered the lifted back cover, luckily before ever submerging it. So no harm done but I was very disappointed. I talked to amazon and after some pressure and telling them about my customer rights they gave me a full refund after 5 months. Put 90€ on top of it and bought the Z1 in September.
End of story: Best phone I ever had, a lot better than the Z. I couldn't be happier with it and all trouble with the Z was forgiven because such things can happen.

I have to admit, Sony customer service is like lottery.
Most of times, turn around times for me were less then 2 weeks if they have parts in stock.
There was once with my tablet Z which took a month. Mine was cracked internal LCD, not touch screen. The part was back order, and the time was during holiday. However, I finally received a new one after a month. The replacement is better than the old one. It is a brand new 32gb instead of 16gb.

Definitely hit or miss. I guess stock had to do a lot with my situation - I can't see them stocking lots of C6906 devices.

If you can show me a brand new purple C6906 Z1 for that price, I'll sell it to you for $400. I even have the DK31 dock that I'll throw in.
Hell I've been using Sony phones from years. The recent case about my z1 bending and freaking Sony hasn't got back to me in 2 weeks. Really poor service, at least down here in SIngapore :/ probably never getting a large phone ever again.

hmm im unable to find a c6906 for less than 600$ but there are a plethora of c6903.
what makes the c6906 so special?
i have a fact. unlocked xperia z c6603, & it works fine with at&t network with 15mbps d/l, & 6mbps u/l.
why is there a 100$ premium for c6906?

I got that e-mail too.. Really tempted after I cancelled my order
Anyone have FINAL confirmation of UMTS bands on the X1i?

This has already been asked over and over and over again. Look at some of the other threads where people got X1's already. For instance Sweden go the X1i earlier this month...
Any advantage with the black over the silver? Will the black have more of a chance to have paint chipping you think?
I almost bought one on eBay. In fact, I clicked to buy it now. They were selling $950 plus $10 shipping. They wouldn't ship the same day [ Friday ] and they won't ship overnight... they even had a 'make offer' option. Any way, I got the phone number and called him. He tells me he is a pilot and purchased a bunch in the UK [ I think he said that ] and said he paid $250 each .. Sounded like a crock - maybe I am wrong - but I have decided to wait for mine to ship. I think it will ship this coming Friday and the unit is silver. I decided on silver because I too didn't like the contrast of the keyboard against the black. Someone said it looked like 2 different phones stuck together .. I sort of agreed, and now I can't get that description out of my head .. BESIDES .. I am like a ferret .. I like shiny silver things !

It could be somewhat possible, I have friends working at airline companies and sometimes manage to get packages intercepted. I mean if he is a pilot he should be somewhat known. Also if there is a delivery going to whatever store via air parcel and it happened to get stolen and he is in on it he may get a cut for the shipment.
All I am saying there is a possibility, I have people who do it all the time.
phones can be signed through IMEI, not a big deal buy a stolen one

Time to throw a wench into your thought process. I was one definitely stickin go the silver but after thinking of the silver and how it looks closed. I was like if it was all silver in front with the buttons silver and not black I would have passed up the black. Now with the black the black is all good and well when it is closed but when it opens up it shows the silver keyboard. Now with that said I tend to use my xperia ...
1. majority of times closed, which is why a 1 toned color on the phone face is great + majority of my gadgets and gears are already black
2. i dont expect to be walking around with my xperia to be open to show off the silver on silver x1i.
With that said ... majority ruled for me also since it was readily available for me to ship.

My point was, I seriously doubt you can get an Xperia (legally) anywhere for $250; theonlynickleft's post seems to confirm this.
If it seems to good to be true...

Why do you guys like to buy stolen goods? Its is not right to do so. Imagine the poor guy who is waiting for his X1 to be shipped to later find out it has been stolen and bought buy one of you guys. Do not encourage such practices. If you cannot afford to buy or wait, don't buy it.
I never said I bought anything from them, I like many people here have paid for the xperia with hard earned money. Now, if someone were to talk up to me in the street or post an ad on craigslist saying he is selling an xperia for half price and wants to know if I buy more. If they are real I will not lie, chances are I would have bought it from him knowing there is a high chance there was some crookery involved. But I wouldnt ask how he got it, if they are legit he gets my money.

There is an expansys in the US and I tried to get it from there but they said they a long list to fulfill first. But they do overnight shipping ... but expansys UK have them in stock and do deliver to the us via DHL 2-3 day shipping (that is where I ordered mine from yesterday) and now its en route to the us. I should have mine by tomorrow or day after the latest. But it is up to you, I mean personally I wanted this phone more or less right away, and when I factored in the store that have it in the us plus waiting times I decided to order mine directly from the uk where i am guaranteed to get it friday latest
Trying to figure out the cost. I think it said 584 including VAT << what is VAT, shipping ?? And is that almost $1200 US ?

Don't envy us too much. To get this deal you usually have to camp out in the cold most of the night and wait in a huge line for tickets to be handed out (# tickets = # items in stock) and then hope you are close enough in line to get a ticket for the item you want. I used to work at Best Buy back when I was much younger and these "Black Friday" deal days were fricken insane. People dang near killing each other for a few bucks (and in some cases actually killing each other by trampling people to death, etc).
Personally I will probably never get a "door buster" deal because I value my time and health. Getting the flu and freezing my arse off for X hours in the cold just isn't worth it.
Price is right but I wouldn't bother if I'd be a meat popsickle AND they would be sold out by the time I got there, lol. I don't hit BestBuy with sales in mind so much as check the local stock before ordering somewhere online.

um, can you buy it now or within whatever the refund period is for best buy and then walk in on black friday and get a price adjustment or just return it and rebuy it?
250 bucks less than prime is awfully tempting but i'm still going to go with the prime.

Nope. Not unless they changed the rules. The price is only valid on the products in the store that are sold as this door buster promotion. (granted my knowledge comes from some 15 years ago)

I am always amazed at how much people sell and buy used stuff for, especially electronics. But really this is a pretty stellar sale and far from a normal price so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 300 for it.

Pfht no, you can easily sell it for $300. Most of the general population is not going to be able to get this thing for that price. They will have like 10 per store. This is not a "week long sale item."
$200 42" tv looks good.
But I agree with everyone else. I drove by a best buy a couple years ago on A MONDAY and there were already about 20 people camped out with tents and the whole deal. Yes a monday lol, so if 4 days is worth saving $150 then so be it. It os for some I guess but not for me.
Keyboard dock's going to be $99 as well.
The Transformer at Best Buy has a different model number made just for them to hit that $249 price point for black friday "TF101-X1". Its also a different sku than the regular 16GB model on their website. The regular model numbers are TF101-A1 "16GB" and TF101B1"32GB". There is no telling what they had Asus take out to hit that price, regular glass instead of Gorilla glass maybe who knows. And, they don't have to disclose that because in the instructions of just about every device it stipulates that features or functions are subject to change without prior notice. I'd be a little leery on this one.

I doubt there's actually any difference. It wouldn't make sense to produce a different model for this, especially when there's a new model coming out soon. What retailers sometimes do is have the model numbers for their Black Friday deals tweaked to make it hard to go elsewhere and price match, or to ask for a price match on prior purchases. It's *possible* there could be actual differences, but I would be surprised.
I just asked my dad who works at bestbuy n he said basically what the guy said above me. Now if u saw this at wally as a everyday low price then you know things would be changed or taken out.

I bought my TF101 in Germany while I was traveling around europe, I was shocked when I saw the price, it's really hefty overpriced if compared to USA.
I can't wait until the prime comes out so I can sell this lovely piece of machinery. My question is... I am moving to S. Korea in February should I wonder if it will be cheaper in taiwan, I could just take a day trip there!
I am currently in the market to buy an Android tablet, and of course, this deal caught my attention the second I saw it.
I'm just having two issues making my mind up whether I should buy it or not:
- As we all now, the Prime is coming out sometime in December. I'm just wondering if the TF101 will feel old/slow compared to the newer Tegra 3 devices. Basically, I feel like I'm jumping on ship and everyone else is moving on to the next thing while me and my TF101 are getting left behind.
- The no built in 3G data is a huge deal for me, I would like to have everything sync on it while I'm on the go plus use it to stream music/video while out. Tethering using my phone is an option, but I feel like it would be to much of a drain to constantly be using it. I guess I could use a 3G USB stick, as that seems as the only other solution, do I need the dock to use the 3G stick?
Anyways, also curious to hear other people's opinions who are interested in this great deal.

- As we all now, the Prime is coming out sometime in December. I'm just wondering if the TF101 will feel old/slow compared to the newer Tegra 3 devices. Basically, I feel like I'm jumping on ship and everyone else is moving on to the next thing while me and my TF101 are getting left behind.
- The no built in 3G data is a huge deal for me, I would like to have everything sync on it while I'm on the go plus use it to stream music/video while out. Tethering using my phone is an option, but I feel like it would be to much of a drain to constantly be using it. I guess I could use a 3G USB stick, as that seems as the only other solution, do I need the dock to use the 3G stick?
Anyways, also curious to hear other people's opinions who are interested in this great deal.

i'm in the same boat you are. but this price is too good to pass up $250 + $99 for the dock. i'm going to try to just get the TF1 from best buy (unless its all sold out (which is very likely)) then resell the tablet for $325 - $350 and the dock for $50 - $75 and then use that $ to get the transformer prime.
Fellow Filipinos, let's discuss here our thoughts about the upcoming HTC One.
Anyone of you know when is the release here in our country?
And any of you already has their handset with them, please post here.
Ordered mine on handtec - color black. Still awaiting it's first stock expected next week.
I'm not sure about the availability of the handset in our country but last time I asked(before the delay happened) HTC said we're to expect it mid of April. But judging by the delays that happened it should be between mid of April to mid of May.
And yeah Doubt this thread would be active since HTC isn't that widespread in our country. They don't even have any stores here in Iloilo or even in the whole visayas and mindanao.
Best chances of getting it is through Kim Store lol!
I know a lot of people who use HTC here, and I'm located in mindanao

^^ I was talking about HTC stores Not 3rd party retailers hehe and that's why I mentioned kimstore in the end since they're usually the first 3rd party retailers here in our country that sells latest gadget earlier than official date. I heard they're exporting their products from singapore/hongkong to sell it here.

How much did it cost you? I saw CMK Cellphones post one already but it's still coming soon. I know Kimstore and they currently have the best deal for gadgets so I'm waiting for them to post about prices etc.
Yeah, HTC isn't really popular here in our country because of the lack of advertisement. You know people here believes what they see on advertisements rather than experiencing the gadget itself or rather reading reviews about it.

Are you going to switch from One X to HTC One brother? I'm currently using DHD so I really need to jump now to a higher handset.

I might, depending on the price. If it's less than 30k then there's a huge chance I'll upgrade.

I think it'll be 30k flat or less. Since a lot of online shops are offering smart phones now on a lower price than mall stores.

So yep 29-30k PHP. If you decide not to get the urbeats addon it should only total to about 28k+ PHP. And yeah you could also get lesser charges on the shipping fee if you opt in for UK Royal mail but it's a little bit slower compared to fedex which would prolly take about 3-4days until it arrives here.

That being said, I might actually buy one right now! Hahaha, how much is your total including the shipping fee from Fedex?
Hi! It's already on the screenshot. 29,725.24 PHP no more no less Although I'm pretty sure it's gonna be alot more cheaper right now since the value of our currency is a little bit higher compared to the time I purchased the HTC One.
For me this is already a cheap deal. Having a free flip case + urbeats headphone which would total to like 4-5k+ PHP if I sell it on ebay. The sole reason why I opted in on getting the UK variant is because it has more wider range of LTE bands compared to the Asian variant and I'm not even sure if we will be getting the LTE variant here in our country.

That's a good deal! More tempted to buy one now *drools* What color did you get anyway?
I chose the color black. I preferred it because with the silver one the sides(yellowish stained white), volume rocker(grey) & power button color(black) doesn't seem to match the overall color of the handset. Whereas the black has a black power button & a black volume rocker so for me it's alot more cleaner & sleeker. Anyways that's just personal preferences eversince the nokia 6600 days I always opted the black over any other colors when it comes to gadgets anyway.
And yeah of course it would match the color of the otterbox I ordered lol!

There's already an otterbox for One? Commuter or Defender?
I hope the black 64gb would arrive here in the Phils. I was almost convinced to upgrade to the Butterfly but when I saw the One, I think I will hold my upgrade, though the black 64gb variant is yet to be seen as of now. I'll just wait for local units, since my One S is still less than a year old.
I'm glad to see that there are still filipinos who aren't blinded by nonsense gimmicks and plastics and rather choose the One.

By the way I ordered mine on e-bay. Making an order on the official site would cost me more with the shipping fee since they're using fedex too. So what I did was ordered from ebay instead and have it shipped through USPS.
I saved like 1.5k+ and yeah I wouldn't spend that much shipping fee just a for a protector case lol!. And yep Commuter and Defender is already available.
Here's the seller whom I purchased the otterbox case.

Wait for the developer edition if you're willing to purchase outside our country I heard it's already coming in a few weeks from US.
You can use this service to purchase the developer edition there since it requires a valid US shipping address.

The Xperia Z3 will officially launch in Canada tomorrow, October 31st.
Quite possibly the only region that hasn't received it yet. (as usual)
It'll be available at Rogers, Bell, Telus, Wind and unlocked at the Sony Stores for $699 or $599 for the Z3 Compact.
Who is getting one here from Canada?
I'm currently with Wind but I pre-ordered through the Sony store for a white Z3.
Doesn't look like there's any extras coming with the box.
I'm thinking of getting one. I'm just waiting to see how much it will go for at Bell (since I'm on Virgin). Rogers is supposed to have it for $599 so if they are the cheapest, I may get it from them and just pay to unlock it. If Bell sells it for the same price, then I can just get it from them and save having to do the unlock right away. If Sony pricematches Rogers, then that is another option as well.
I may wait a couple of weeks before jumping in though to make sure there are no particular issues with the Z3 in Canada.
I would have preferred a 32GB version (especially considering the $699 price from Sony) but 16GB should cover me as I don't install games on my phones and the SD card will cover the 30 some GB's of media I do carry around.
I just hope the battery is good and the screen can be read outdoors in sunlight. Two of the main reasons I got rid of my Nexus 5.
I'm going to pick up my Z3 tomorrow at the Sony store Just got a call that my preordered phone is ready
I called up and went to a few Rogers stores in Toronto, they all said it would be $699 off contract and not $599 as reported by MobileSyrup
Also kinda disappointed that it doesn't come with earphones - might have to buy the NC earphones later

I'm going to pick up the phone at 11 am tomorrow. Hope Rogers has pricing info out by then
i'm up for one, in white, before year's end. will buy from the Sony Store.
still watching and waiting for the bugs to be identified/remedied, while slowly picking out accessories. the pink spot in photos = not impressive for a device that's 700 clams.
I'll have mine in exactly 8h50min. Already waiting for me at the sony store. I pre-order a black one but I hope I'll be able to change for a copper one .
I already received my cruzerlite bugdroid case from amazon. Really nice case by the way. All the buttons & ports are uncovered except for sim/sdcard port.

Hey guys, just went in to a Rogers store today and got the sales guy to scan the price for the Z3 - showed as $699. Which means I won't be cancelling my pre-order :'(

That's disappointing. I guess MobileSyrup got taken with a fake screenshot, or Rogers changed their pricing. It's still nice phone but for $699, we should have the 32GB version the US does. I'll probably still be getting it though.
Just picked mine up
The store only had 2 z3 cases and I didn't like either - have to check amazon or ebay now.
Also, it doesn't come with earphones (the rep didn't know this either)

MobileSyrup just posted a release for the Z3 for all carriers and they are still reporting the Z3 as being $599 from Rogers:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/10/31/xperia-z3-arrives-at-rogers-bell-telus-wind-mobile-mts-and-sasktel/
I followed through the URL and it's showing me $599 on Rogers site as well if you choose no term when buying.

WHAT - this is messed up.
Could you tell me how you got to select the no term price? I can only select on 2 year contracts.
I will go to the Rogers store and show them - and then return the one I got to Sony

You have to follow the link on MobileSyrup's web site, but here it is:
http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wirelessBuyFlow?forwardTo=PhoneThenPlan&productType=normal&productId_Detailed=XPERIAZ3BLK&N=52+11+277+4294920246
While 'live', it isn't accessible yet from the main site. I tried to search for it from the home page and couldn't get it.
Still trying to find a way to get it without a plan though since online you still end up having to choose something. Will stop by a Rogers store later today and see what happens.

If I can find it on the website I will go to the store and ask if I can just get it from them

Sorry... Misunderstood. I:
- Added to cart
- Selected 'I want to add a new line to my account'
- Choose any plan and you should see the 'no term' price of $599.
If you select 'I want to upgrade my device' after adding to cart, it wont go anywhere as it directs you to go to a store or call.
EDIT - Added screenshot.
EDIT 2 - Sorry... you are right, you can't purchase without adding a plan online. Maybe try in store. That's what I will try. The fact that online it has the 'no term' price as $599 might help getting it without a plan for the same price in store. (Hopefully!)
So.. I just tried this - and it didn't work
I showed it to the store rep and he said that it was a 'bug' in the site, and they can't sell it at that price. When he scanned the phone again it showed up as $649 (earlier today it was $699)
At a $50 difference I'm going to stick to the unlocked one I got from the Sony store. Hope you guys have better luck.
Btw, this is 100% the best looking phone I've ever seen

Hi. I guess I got lucky as I was able to pick one up from Rogers for $599 but it was one of those 'perfect storm' things as it was coming up in his system as $599 for new activations and $649 as a new phone on existing plan. As he assumed that was a mistake, he called someone who gave him authorization for an override for the $599 price. He was supposed to confirm with his manager but they had left and didn't answer his call. So, I was able to get it.
Now I just have to find a place to unlock it. I had found a place earlier that said $17 CDN but I've lost the link.
At $649, I'd probably go to the Sony Store. Online it states you can't return them which was a concern for me if I didn't like it but in store you still have 14 days. Unlocked might be better for upgrades as well.
Going to stop by Rogers tomorrow... Fingers crossed for 599
Hey All!
I started this thread as I saw one similar for Amazon but wanted an area to discuss the recall specifically from Verizon as I have heard many different things and little information is available online as well as it keeps changing.
1st DiscussionI had:
I broke my Note 7 the same day Samsung announced the recall. Of course Verizonor Samsung reps were not helpful at all this day.
2nd Discusion:
A few days later I called Samsung and discussed what was going on and all they could say was to go through my carrier to see what procedures they have in place but they are taking them back in ANY condition.
3rd Discussion:
Called Verizon store and they said I couldexchange it or return it but had to be before Sept. 30th. I advised I think I was past due so he said i needed to be current. Ihad a rough chat after this as I explained I got a recalled device but they wont have replacement Note 7s by that time and if I return my phone I wont have one to use and the next best thing being the S7 Edge which I traded in my S7 for the Note 7 sowhy the heck would I go back to my original device that I owned and have to pay installments on it? I said this is all depending I can get current prior tothe 30th. He basically said good luck and that was that.
4th Discussion:
Same day I immediately called customer care and they toldmesimilar but turns out I wasonly 12$ past due smh.
5th Discussion:
Same day went down to the store and paid the 12$. Thinking I had no choice, Iexchanged my broken Note 7 for aNew S7 Edge. I was told once I exchanged it that was it and I cannot get the Note 7 when they recieve replacements. I told the lady I had no choice and made the switch.
6th Discussion:
Today I called customer care to make a payment and figured I would ask about the Note 7 again. This rep proceeds to tell me that even though I exchanged it for another device, I CAN STILL change it again for the Note 7 once available. She stated that the store rep advised incorrectly and that might have been the case at that moment in time but they have internal links and documents stores can reference saying we will replace it for all original Note 7 users regardless if they already exchanged it. So essentially she is saying I exchanged my original Note 7 for a new S7 Edge and can exchange it again for a new Note 7 once available.
I have read others being advised differently so post below your experiences and any related links or documents confirming my last discussion or call them yourselves and share what they advise to you!
I really hope I can get a Note 7 once available again as that is the phone I wanted and originally purchased but initial associates forced me to exchange by making it seem there was no other option on top of a strict deadline with 0 idea when new ones would be available.
She also said it would b3 possible to complete over the phone once they have replacement devices availablesoIcanavoid the storealtogether
just went into the store forsome accessories nasked again and he told me if i wanted the Note 7 I wouldve had towait that the rep over the phone was lying lol
such a mess and they cant gettheir facts straight

Should of told him he was lying and to do his damn job.
I exchanged my Note 7 for an HTC 10 on Monday 9/12, the lady that helped me told me that i could go back and exchange the HTC 10 for a replacement Note 7 once they get them in stock. She said it would be one to two weeks and that i would have to keep checking in to see if they had them in, there was no wait list or anything like that.
But you're right, the in-store people mostly don't know. i had gone the day before, Sunday 9/11, and the person i talked to that day told me that i would have to hold onto my original Note 7 till they got replacements, that they weren't doing any exchanges.

yea man, theyre ridiculous for sure lol i am diggin the s7 edge but would definitely like to get the Note 7 back once in.. it wasnt our fault they recalled the device lol i am hoping when they get them in stock that i can just deal over customer service instead of the store.. he seemed oblivious still at the whole process.

Thing is how many were sold in Canada and they said up to 22,000 by end of month.
from what i have been reading on verizon forums I do believe you need to exchange your N7 for another device before Sept. 30th and once new N7 devices are available you can switch back.. ive been told this over the phone and many others onthe forums.. you can ONLY switch your exhanged "loaner" device for another N7 of course..
i really hope this is true and wish Verizon would post this process publicly if so
I just got an email from Samsung that retail outlets should have replacements by 9/21. Can't wait to dump this Verizon loaner.

on phon3 with vzw tryna see if i can still exchange it, she dont know so contacting another dept to find out.. such a pita
That's for sure the case and they can jerk you around all they want but it will happen. When I exchanged my Note for the HTC 10 they didn't have a list or anything but I made it clear in no uncertain terms I'd be dumping it on their counter for a Note 7 the day they returned. They completely agreed but there was no system in place. They were confused despite there being others there doing the same. Just check in every day do they have it? Show up with your phone. Problems? Keep asking to speak to a manager. You're not going to get answers ahead of time because they just don't know.

after an hour n 20min., she called the store and then in their policies it clearly states we can exchange n7 for another "interim" device and back to the n7 when available.
you can even trade the interim device for another non n7 but in that situation it would be a restocking fee.
she clearly documented my account with the store rep and their managers nameand all the details. I also recorded the entire conversation this time.
she also said vzw is supposed to notify us when they have them no later than the 21st but i surely will call them every day lol
luckily she called my store so when i go in i have names and documentation on my account.
the interim phone does need to be in good shape so dont damage your "loaner" lol
Nice. I have my loaner in a box, I hated it. I only kept it so I wouldn't get jerked around getting my 7 back. I do not believe they will call us, every news report said Verizon won't have a replacement for everyone on first pass and knowing them they will sell them to new customers too. I'm sure they had the largest initial sell through.

hopefully everyones buyin the Apples lol. i broke my initial n7 so best believe i bought a glass protector and a otterbox defender for my interim s7e just in case lmao
They still have no idea when they will be in. Could be up to a month is what she told me on phone despite Samsung's email. This whole experience has become so frustrating, maybe a different phone is the right idea. I had a moment of madness where I thought I'd go get the 7Plus to spite...myself? Ugh.
