I got signed up through a friend on this Advantage Plan. Sounds like a good deal and I was excited to get the Photon, but when i went to pick my phone from the website, is wasn't there. Is there anyone else that has tried to get this phone on the Advantage Plan?
It's because it hasn't been released yet...
... to Sprint employees or their Advantage account holders. We're still waiting for the official announcement but rumor has it that possibly some time next week.

200 for the phone 30 for the plan without insurance
Sprint ERP and Advantage lines will be able to purchase the Motorola Photon on the 17th. It was in this month's Playbook.
Ahh... thanks for the heads up. Us "in the rear with the gear" employees don't typically have access to those sources.
Thanks for the replies! Waiting eagerly for the 17th to come around.
Anyone able to pick one up at the local corporates store as of yet?
My store has them but refuses to sell any until sprint announce is a release date. I don't care about picking it up today but I would like to pick it up tomorrow

that is sum bull! sprint needs to let them know whats up i want my phone damn it!
Yeah this whole release seems to be really botched. I just spoke to my local radiovshack and they expect the phone mid 2012. They have no clue when its coming and there is no info sent to them from corporate that was received from sprint.
Really weird
I should have pre-ordered.
Congrats to those with a phone in hand!!

Just called my local store.
"We haven't been given a release date yet." Side-stepped the question if they had any in stock. My guess is Sprint is just waiting to see if they can fill all the pre-orders then will release a true release date. Hopefully it's tomorrow, would be nice to have a new toy over my 3 day weekend haha
booo
wish i could have pre ordered
does any one know how long it will be until they release it to the pub?

We are at the mercy of Sprint. They have been horrible at communicating during this whole ordeal. Phones are being shipped yet they are still sitting on an official launch date. This is screwing up 3rd parties, Sprint Stores, etc.
The only people who are happy campers are Sprint Preorderers. Which is the way it should be, but to an extent. This is getting quite ridiculous.
I feel like there are other issues and Sprint is dragging their feet so that they can make it to the 3 day weekend.

sprint is always messing stuff up so this doesnt surprise me
Again the lack of communication is their weak point. If they would just communicate it would satisfy a lot of people. The original release date was a week ago. The delay in customs was less than a week, or at least less than a week as far as we know right? So, it makes no sense at all that the delay after passing customs should be more than how long it was sitting in customs. Now, for all I know these could have been in customs for a month but we didn't find out about it until the last minute so maybe that's why Sprint is now scrambling.
Ugh. Damn the Sprint Store!
Ugh. Damn the Sprint Store! x2

Sure. Sprint HATES sales, that's why they're pushing the release date back. They want all their money grubbin hands on these fine devices and don't even want to give them to their hard paying customers. Maybe they're keeping them all to swim through Scrooge McDuck style.

So after suspecting that the corporate location that I ordered my phone from didn't know what they were talking about I took it upon myself to speak to a manager. He confirmed with me that they have not received their shipments and that the system does not show a shipment in route.
I then decided to call all of the sprint corporate stores in the central florida area. Spoke with every store manager at every location and they all confirmed the same thing with me that they currently do not have any in stock and do not show any pending shipment. And that they are still waiting for a confirmed release date from corporate.
I'm starting to wonder why I even pre ordered. I'm sorry if there's any typos I'm using voice dictation.
Time for another episode of "A Sprint CSR TOLD ME THIS!"
So, I called a few Sprint Stores here in SoCal and, A Sprint CSR TOLD ME THIS! "We will be receiving shipments next week."
If there is any truth to this statement, that means life will indeed suck a giant sack over the Memorial Day weekend.
Have been told the same thing in NorCal, next Wed or Thurs. I guess BB pre-orders are more special than Sprint corporate store ones.

I'm waiting for a Corporate store to get them as well. I have to buy it there because i have a SERO account anf don't want to lose it. CMON SPRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

probably not true, but i'll jump ship to sprint if that happens
I have nobody to share my data with lol
I'm still on contract till 11/13 . But yeah I can totally see myself sharing data with myself. Sounds legit!:good:
If that does happen, they have to let us out with no ETF. More likely, they'll just stop letting people keep it when their contract expires or when they renew, even if they pay full retail for a phone. They stand to lose an awful lot of customers if they were to just yank it from everybody that still has it, not to mention the internet and media backlash. Then again, it's just that: a rumor.

That's exactly what I said. And not only that line but every line on your account can cancel if they force them into a shared plan since it affects every line. But I seriously doubt they will just yank them. They have millions of customers with grandfathered plans and millions of those customers will just pack up their phones and leave if that happens. Overnight they could shrink to the number 2 service provider. I'm not saying they'll let us keep our data plans forever, but they're not going to yank everybody at once either because it doesn't make a bit of business sense. It makes a ton more business sense to just let contracts run out and in less than 2 years they won't have any grandfathered subscribers. They may not be making as much money off of people with unlimited data plans but I'm sure that the vast majority of them are still profitable customers and therefore it's better to hang on to them.
To the people that say it's going to happen soon, proof or GTFO.
To reiterate what others have said. I don't think they can just do that, without the contract becoming null and void, if that is the case, then its a breech of contact on their part. They would have to let us out of the contract withput paying ETFs.
My contract is up Nov 2013 and I was told as long as I don't upgrade then I will.be fine.

So, ICS for the Rezound was a rumor? Because that hasn't happened?
Oh Wait, though, you might be right. Anything to boost profits will happen, so let's see... ICS OTA for the Rezound makes no money for Verizon (Except back when we were promised it and people bought the phones based on that promise. Shared data plan makes astronomical profits for Verizon, so, likely to happen.
UGH. When will the day everyone would be willing to band together and call Verizon and say "Cancel my contract for your lack of commitment and services and promises for updates." The only action that would ever change Verizon's mind on doing what they do. It all comes back to the idea that Verizon has no incentive to give back what they've took and to make ridiculous plans. People continue to buy, buy, buy their phones and sign contracts.
In the end, it's not Verizon's fault. It's the fault of American Greed. no one does anything about it, so companies, like Verizon, continue to play the game and profit off the lack of revolt for practices.

When more carriers become available more widespread in areas . The only reliable coverage I get in South Dakota where I live and travel to visit back home, is Verizon. Sprint / AT&T are spotty. T-Mobile doesn't exist.
When T-Mobile or Sprint finishes rolling out their LTE networks, will the Rezound be capable of running on either of them?
There's a guy who is supposedly from a store here in Los Angeles who says he can sell me a new Rezound for $100 even if I'm not eligible for an upgrade yet. I've looked up the store and it exists, I've seen the pics, he said I could go there and I've seen something that says the store has been in business for 22 years or something like that.
Now I saw his listing on Craig's List. I emailed him. His email back had bad grammar and spelling and didn't come across as very professional.
Yes there new. We are a private company for verizon business department so when you upgrade through our sytems you get to keep unlimited data because we offer it if you where not a Verizon grandfathered customer. We can do early upgrades because when you tranfer over to us youe number automatically because eligible by terms and conditions.

So... what can the scam or the risk be? I'm under contract, bought the phone from Amazon end of last November. What can happen to me? Get slammed with early termination of contract? How would this place stay in business if they do this sort of thing?
I just tried my last hope of reviving my phone and it didn't work, so I need to get another one soon. Been without for 2-3 weeks already. ouchie.

It sounds an awful lot like they are selling other contracts somehow. As in you are getting another account that is unlimited data... Or the IMEI on the handset is bad, and if that gets reported you have a brick, if the cops cone asking you about it... Well it happened to me with a computer repair job.
Phones can be cloned too. That happens. They're hacked, can become black listed etc.
Read this

The mac books were traced to me, and I helped the cops and all was good for me, but scary when they ask HOW you got the device and ask "didn't that seem too good to be true?? Are you dumb?"
Don't do it.

Dont do it..reconsider.
When I had Sprint they would call me twice a month with deals to upgrade my phone early, only catch was you had to sign up for another line of service. They wouldn't tell you that till they actually started doing the upgrade.
I'd say go investigate it personally. If it looks good, doesn't require another contract, and the ESN is good (call a VZW store to confirm), then maybe you win. You can always walk away.

Yeah, that's what I figure I'll do. Seems that what might happen is my current contract is violated and I would have to pay early termination which would then make it more expensive than just buying a phone.
And I was almost talked down from the ledge...
I'm also going to see if I can strong arm Verizon into giving me a phone under warranty. It's worked for me before with Sprint, although my contract was up and so I could go get another phone free starting an new one with another provider. This time I'm still under contract. Worth a shot though. Trying to decide if it's best to do that with a call or in store.

yet they scam customers by releasing minuscule updates on their phones as a brand new product to force their moronic customers into buying the next one. so again, they're a company that scams morons and is still in business.
the only reason they have the "best marketing of any company ever" (which i won't even go there, because it's simply good marketing in this idiotic country) is because americans are sheep, juvenile and just plain ignorant when it comes to most things.

I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

I honestly doubt they will delay the Note 2's launch for that reason. I believe this because they have more than likely already delayed the Note 2 for the DNA.

Verizon may have the best speeds, but overall, a pain in the ass.
What he said. Maybe the best LTE network but in terms of high end phones locked/encrypted bootloaders, and delayed releases, bid red does not rate highly for those items.

Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.

I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.

I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.
