Rumor - possible release date for verizon bold
-
- I bet by July you'll be able to get it on ebay for $350 or so. Might not even be worth using your upgrade ($250 does not include tax!, which is taxed at the full MSRP). So basically you'll end up paying close to what you could buy it for without the upgrade anyways.
I paid $368 for mine shipped a week ago.05-28-10 05:58 PMLike 0 - here's what I just got from a vzw rep a few minutes ago!

- I'm a new poster here and am anxiously awaiting the Verizon 9650. Been out of contract since November. I talked to the manager of a Verizon store by my house today. He acknowledges that a lot of people have asked about the phone, but he has no definite date. It's not even in their system yet. He said that when it first gets in the system, it may show a price $99,999. That means it's not for sale yet. So I asked if someone came in with that kind of money, would you sell it to them - he said yes they would if he was crazy enough to spend it. He also mentioned that there may be a lot of Tours still in the warehouse and they're trying to get rid of as many as possible before the 9650 goes live.
Anyway, he expects the release in June since it's in the summer catalog. He's heard middle to late June.
Just another thing to add to the rumor list here. Maybe it's BS, I really don't know. But I hope it gets here soon since my old Razr is on its last lap and I won't jump ship to another carrier. I've had good service from Verizon. I do road trips in some remote areas and really like their coverage.Last edited by ExchangeMan; 05-28-10 at 10:45 PM.

- Come on now, you all are supposed to know it all, and I'm just a stupid VZW rep, how would I know, right?
Direct fulfill is when you come in the store and I ship you a product that is available in the warehouse but not in the store. Usually two day Fedex ship.05-29-10 07:15 AMLike 0 - I'm a new poster here and am anxiously awaiting the Verizon 9650. Been out of contract since November.

So, if I go in and order it on the 3rd "direct fulfillment," and it comes to my home two days later, do I still have to take it into the store to have it activated? Or, is it good to go with my number out of the box? You can't have two active phones with the same number so at some point I'd have my ESN in my 8330 turned off before the 9650 is turned on. How does that work on direct fulfillment?05-29-10 01:52 PMLike 0 - >>Direct fulfill is when you come in the store and I ship you a product that is available in the warehouse but not in the store.
