Its a worthy upgrade from the regular 4g

The MT4gS spec is +1 on our MT4G and it maybe the last in myTouch like due to the DeathStar's (AT&T) acquisition of T-Mobile. If anyone is keyboard fan like G2 users they might find MT4gS worth updating to but until at&Tmobile is merged I am not buying anything as ill just wait and see what happens and based on the experience I have with DeathStar with their many merges of my service from Cingular to BellSouth where the price went up while service degraded ill see how it goes if it becomes bad ill jump CDMA carrier even when I love GSM so much.
It kind of looks like a Rhodium from the angles they have...
Looks sick, but all this talk about the TmoUS/att merge isn't said to effect any of us until late next year, or so I was told. I was on when they changed their whole profile to Cingular, and though the world knew that simply the name AT&T would bring them back, nobody realized the consequences of it. Somebody had to pay their immense new marketing bill =/

I know that is what I was saying as I am TMoEM+ customer and I am not dumb enough to actually sign 2 years contract as price for device+higher contract bill is more than EM+ with paying for new device fully.
I did current estimate and updated with current AT&T's bill which is as we know is contracted so I would be paying $30 extra with 50min subtracted from my current plan and paying SMS for same price ill have 1000SMS, and for same dataplan ill have lower cap. As I have EM+ 500TuTW for special $49.99+tax(reg price %59.99) after $10 discount.
So I am following wait and see policy regardless of the phone supporting quadband or not as I want to see if AT&T will honor people like me who has been with them for ages even if I am not on contract or will they force us to sign. If that happens I switch to Big Red (1 of 7 original slice of Death Star) or Sprint. If FCC is foolish enough to make AT&T again monopoly they themselves should be erased before AT&T because thats all it going to be than for GSM world in USA.
Did the same as PD15IMG, just got an EM+ plan. 500 minutes, unlimited on nights, weekends, and always unlimited over wifi, unlimited texted, unlimited data, free tethering all for 60 dollars a month... It's a win.
Still, imo I would get the myTouch 4G slide.. but I walked into a Verizon store today and now I wanna switch to verizon, So no myTouch 4G slide for me

I find the qwerty/keyboards on touch screen phones kind of annoying. If I need to type an essay long paper, then I just use a laptop. But for things like texting, you normally write short sentences. I guess the sliding thing to reply a message or do a quick search is not for me.
IMO, when compared to the MT4G, the only good thing about this the MT4G Slide is the hardware (not even!).
PS: Also, the buttons are too small for my fingers.

What's the easiest way to get a new phone from Verizon before the eligible date? Even a different model, and flagship phone. I've been a customer since 2003.
When is your eligible date supposed to be? Usually as long as you have fulfilled 1 year since your last upgrade they will do an early upgrade for you. Only downside is that it has to go through verizon and you cant get any of the costco or amazon deals
Another option would be to open a new line on your plan and then later down the road drop one of the older lines.

You pay an extra $30/month just for an upgrade phone? Seems like it would be cheaper to just buy full retail.

Yup pretty dumb i think... Actually its an extra $40... $10 for the line and $30 for data.... Unless you have the cheapest data package.
Only $10 a month. I used this trick and just don't have a smartphone active on the spare line. It was cheaper to add a third line to our account to get a second Charge instead of paying full retail.

The quickest way to irritate a retail representative is to state how long you've been a customer. LOL That's true for any industry. Yes you've been paying for a service, but you've also been provided that service at a price you agreed to. Just a heads up, don't start the conversation with "I've been a customer since 2003."

Yeah that **** is annoying, I get that a lot. (Its ok to ask but dont keep pushing it and storm off like a little baby because you didnt get your way.) Theres nothing we can do as reps, maybe give you a little discount but we cant override upgrade dates and stuff.
We can call our main department and they wont even do anything unless your a week before your upgrade date.
I just was able to put through an early upgrade in the place of what would have been my third Charge. The first one was a replacement for the Fascinate, which I had had two of. I told them I was tired of Samsung products in general and they offered me the option.
I was one month from the year mark of the last renewal, and (since all of the phones so far were CLNR's) about the same from going out of warranty. Hopefully the Bionic is a phone I can feel confident in keeping for a year and a half or so. If not, there's a Vigor/TBolt 2 with my name on it.
I'm definitely getting the new Galaxy Nexus or Nexus prime, but I just switched to Verizon and got the Droid Charge on Day #1. I'll probably have to pay retail (which for the phone will be worth it). Do I have to call in Verizon and have them know I switched phones? Or should I just pop the LTE sim card into the new one (whenever that is) and be done with it that way?

You SHOULD be able to just switch the SIM. That should update your account with the IMEI of your new phone. I'm not 100% positive, though.

Yes, with LTE phones, you can swap the SIM card, and use it instantly. I did that when I switched from TB to Charge.

They buy a phone at the discounted price then switch their phones but leave their new line open. So they pay $10 instead of $40 because their is no phone on the line. I do something similar to this, and I use all of my lines upgrades and my kids get my last phone.

So wait.
I can add a line for $10.00 and buy, say, the new Samsung Nexus phone, but not buy data? Verizon does not require that a customer buy Data and I get the smartphone at the discounted price (which I can then swap to my data enabled ph#)?
Maybe the razr or nexus with free accessories, our 50 dollar price drop,I mean something has to go down right? Cheers!!

Less likely on any of the phones you would be interested in. More likely on the older phones.
my daughters line is up for an Upgrade on 20 Dec. Called tonight to see if they would let me upgrade now since its a month away so I could get it done before christmas...told me sure, as long as you don't want to upgrade to any 4G phone. Pfft, 20 Dec it is. I also asked if waiting til 20 Dec was going to net me any discounts or other pricing offers, said, Nope none planned. Oh well.
The only free Verizon phone radioshack is gonna have is the stratosphere. Black Friday will have cheaper phones but the razr is not included. I can't remember the prices off the top of my head.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Anyone know if the Rezound will be discounted? I can only upgrade directly through VZW though.
...before you buy the Razr please ensure your prepared for
1. a crappy display
2. 4G/3G data popping in and out and dropping completely (ala Bionic)
3. alarms not functioning properly
4. missed phone calls/texts
(my experiences in 4 days with it)
if your going to upgrade, grab the Nexus Prime ...Samsung may be plastic, but they function at least 95% of the time
As far as "deals" are concerned, I'm never buying from a VZW store again - not unless there's a darned good reason.
I'll probably be buying at Costco - They're deals are usually really good: Some of the cheapest pricing, with nice accessories thrown in for free. I might try Amazon or Best Buy, too.
Now that VZW has tossed the "New Every Two" plan, I plan on tossing VZW.

Like I said, no real sales on any of the newer stuff.
$200 for a XOOM probably isn't a bad deal, if it wasn't for the monthly cellular contract you have to purchase with it.
Just saw a commercial on TV last night that Verizon will be offering the red DINC2 for free on black Friday. My wife watches this website every year around this time, check it out.
http://bfads.net/
They list a ton of the black friday deals for all kinds of stores.
Also, Amazon.com has all Verizon phones for 1 cent. (with an upgrade). This includes the Bionic, Rezound and Razr.

I have a promo plan that was offered to me by vzw in an email back in november 2010.
59.99 for 450min and unl texts
9.99 for unlimited data
69.99 total plus taxes and fees which my employee disc offsets.
How would adding a line work?
Never mind just spoke with verizon. adding a line is out of the question. They will force me off my plan killing my unlimited data.
I guess its full retail for me

Why dont you wait for a quad code LTE phone to come to the states before buying the SGS3 at full retail..I would buy the quad core at full retail, IMO.

I can wait until January when I have an upgrade. My Charge is pretty snappy for what I use it for. I played with my buddies Razer MAXX and was not overly impressed. I thought the speed would blow me a away, but it didn't. The screen looked signficantly worse (must be the pentile)
Only complaints with the charge:
1) Browsing non-mobile enabled sites could be smoother. Droid maxx did not really fix this!!!
2) Occasional launcher lag (even with home_app_adj fix).
Things I want in my new phone:
1) 4.3-4.8" "Retina" screen.
2) Instant shutter on camera.
3) 1080p hdmi out
4) Battery life to last all day.
And porn

I think I'm stealing my aunts upgrade for the SGS3. Her basic phone is at least 3 years old now and I don't see her upgrading any time soon anyways. If Verizon follows the other price plans I will get the 16gb for $200 and throw in a memory stick.

That's what I did. Used another lines upgrade to get the Charge cause I didn't want to wait on the Bionic and had to get off my BB Storm. I made the right decision.

Yeah right. I just checked E-Bay. They want between $752 and $856 for one. I'll pass.
GS3 is not nearly enticing enough to lose my unlimited. My upgrade is well after the new pricing so any new phones are going to have to be really, really sweet. I don't think I'm willing to lose unlimited, so I presume I'll be getting off-contract devices. I hope VZW doesn't wanna screw those of us with expired contracts.
I find it a bit unfair that some people have the option of locking into a 2-year on unlimited a new, fast phone, whereas others upgrades will be available just after the unlimited is gone.
I guess that is just how the chips fall. The question is, I suppose, will VZW screw customers who pre-order the GS3 out of unlimited?
I didn't want to turn this into an unlimited data debate, but a phone would have to be something truly special to purchase outright at full retail or lose unlimited over.
Hmmm, I have an upgrade on my netbook but that doesn't have unlimited. The charge that has unlimited gets an upgrade in Jan.
Could I use the netbook upgrade then switch the SIII to the charge's number and have unlimited on it?
I really got burned when I bought the charge (and the GF's Tbolt) because I didn't want to loose unlimited. I walked out of the store $700+ poorer then Verizon backtracked on the ending of unlimited going from 3g to LTE.
I'd like to upgrade but with tweaked I don't have to. I just don't want to get burned again. I was quite pissed with my last 2 upgrades. The time before I was lied to by the sales guy about tethering and ended up with a Storm2 and a netbook.
I have an upgrade in July. I'm definitely gonna jump on this phone. I would wait for a quad-core or the next nexus, as I'm more than happy with the Charge, but I'm worried about the switch to shared data. The support for the SGS3 should be great, given that it's going to be released by all major carriers.
Big thanks to imnuts, dwith, nitro, jt, our resident themers, et al., for spending their own time to make our experience with the Charge better!
Wait on the Nexus
As a fassy refugee I am done w Sammy for now. If you get an SGS 3 and have call quality issues you were warned here first, happened on my last 2 Sammy phones. Waiting for one of the 5 nexii that are supposed to be released this fall, hope HTC has another One X caliber phone in that mix.
Hoping to go full GV and data plan only, sick of paying for cell minutes I don't use.
EDIT: Yes, and thanks to Nitro, Imnuts, JT and all the others for helping us with our Charges.
So I wasn't sure where I should post this. But I need some advice.
I just upgraded my phone and signed a two year contract with Verizon in August. However, I am really feeling the need to ditch my smartphone because it's taking up too much of my time away from what's truly important in my life. My wife, kids and work.
What is the best way to get rid of my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and 21 months left on my contract.
I really would like to be able to get a cheap "dumb" phone without having to pay too much.
Anyone have any suggestions of how I could do this?

At least with other carriers, your "contract" is only for the voice portion.
Buy a cheap dumbphone (ebay, craigslist or new), activate it and cancel the data plan.
Done.
Really? I assumed I would have to keep a data plan on this number for the duration of contract.

I can confirm with with AT&T
I was able to cancel my brothers Data plan and switch his phone to the 7.99 plan
to an old flip phone
he broke his phone and didnt' have insurance I called up At&t and they said I was able to alter my plan with no charge
So I sold my S3 and am currently back on my old DX2. I may stay on this for a while. I told myself that I was gonna switch over to an Ifone but I'm not sure that I can bring myself to drop 400 on a 5. I may use the money to buy an Ipad mini on swappa. Crazy that a tablet is cheaper than a phone....
