I have a flyer from a vzw, they are selling the DNA in red to all employees for 99 bucks. Not sure if it upgrade or off contract yet. But with the purchase they also get a free wireless charging pillow from Nokia. I will report back when I find out if it upgrade price or retail.
Also post a picture!
Please do I can pick it up then since I work for Verizon and didn't hear about this.

If this is true and there's a VZW employee who doesn't want it, shoot me a PM haha.
Yup and its going to be awesome. Hopefully I can get the first one since they have serial numbers indicating in which order you got yours. It also comes with Fatboy pillow charger by Nokia

It does exist. Basically the same phone with a red backsimilar to the j butterfly. Comes with a fatboy charging pillow. You get both for 99 bucks.
That's actually a pretty solid deal. I wonder if it will be up on the VZW website before Xmas. I'm debating on Note 2 or DNA (obviously), and the DNA is getting pretty stellar reviews from all over, but that 6-7 hours of ONSCREEN time on the Note 2 makes me want it ever so much. I hate the fact I can't use my phone for a long period of time.
If it goes live on the website, I'll post a screen cap.

Its an employee special. I wouldn't expect it to be on the website (unless you mean an internal one).
Wonder if this means they are going to start selling that wireless charger. I am hard pressed to find a replacement for my LG. Even the Nokia ones are sold out. It was even out of stock online ( as of last night).
It price is for the upgrade

What good does this do you? You're paying an extra $40/month for the upgrade? In two years you'll have paid ~$960 for the second line that you maintain just to get an upgrade every year. If you're putting a dumb phone on the line so you don't have to pay data you're a little better than buying a phone outright, but not much.

So this is really my only go to phone at the moment. However as you can see from my tag I am coming from a nexus. Assuming it doesn't get unlocked like the S3 how mad should I be over the locked bootloader? No custom kernel, so no over clocking, no battery tweaks, etc. But let's be honest on my nexus while I always rock a custom kernel I am not in there tweaking it all the time. How do others feel? To me it just more or less feels like a slap in the face from Verizon.

I have used the t-mobile note 2 for a few days and you don't need to do any of that stuff to this phone. The speed is freaking amazing and the battery lasts all freaking day. The only thing i did was root it so that I could is TiBU and I was set. (I ended up returning the phone due to stinky t-mobile signal so I'll be waiting for the vzw version to come out)
Will 4.2 be able to be installed before Verizon gets off their slow duffs

I dont think it'll be bad. You see all these other threads of everyone *****ing about the locked bootloader just like the s3 and that got unlocked. I have faith. I just want to be able to root and ROM. I just preordered it yesterday! A whole month away though it feels so long haha

Not really for this device. To get the full potential you need the majority of Samsungs framework riding behind the scenes. A phone like this would not be right with just AOSP/stock Android. Maybe keep the possibility of having a Samsung ROM that's cleaned up a bit but not a total makeover.
Now a phone like the Droid HD or the upcoming HTC DNA then yes; I would be pissed.

Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.

Actually, even if LG unlocked it to be just like the N4 AT&T would never allow that update, they absolutely hate their users having root or anything xda generally strives for.
My guess is that, among other things, it is so easy to tether/hotspot once rooted without paying for such a plan.

As long as you are in the return window, once you return it they reset your "upgrade" with ATT so you will be back to same status you were before the purchase

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

That is great news! I've been obsessing about this phone for months so at this point you could tell me it sprouted ears and a tail and I'd be ready to believe you lol. Sorry if this is asking too many questions -but I'm a woman and need details- did those employees state that the phone would hit shelves that day or just be ready for pre-order? Any word of a press announcement happening a day in advance or day of? If they are launching it Thursday and not making a big deal of it I want to make sure I'm there bright and early (or on the website) to get one! Any word of it being in red? Feeeeeed my HTC One hungerrrrrrrr :laugh:

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

By the time you pay it off HTC will have released a new flagship phone and the One will be left 2 generations behind in the Android world.

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Well, thanks for the info on edge and the one. I recently got the DNA, since I went into the pool with my gs3 in my pocket. I am loving the phone. I had one issue with the proximity sensor not working properly. I had to root and the use the resound proximity calibration app to fix that. Is that a know issue with DNA.

About Verizon edge...
You lose unlimited if you have it
It's actually more expensive than a subsided phone
You have to trade in the old one
Rip off
Although the 1st is just a rumour can't say its been proven false till the 1st. Also a Google search reveals like 20 plus tech sites saying the same thing... I'd say believe it at this point.

So Who all's gonna jump on this new upgrade option titled "edge". I'm just curious what everyone thinks. I see both positives and negatives to both sides.
I'm going to with our next upgrade. It's expensive but I figure a new insured phone each year is worth it.

Nah....
I did it for the HTC One. Going to try it out. Paying 25bucks a month, I can either trade it in later or pay it off and keep it. To me, its no different than buying the phone outright and then selling it for half value.
Now if you have an upgrade available and can do the upgrade shuffle to keep unlimited, I would do that instead. But I'm being impatient.
Oh, and it let me keep unlimited.

Wait, WHAT? The advertisements specifically said only family share plans were eligible for Edge?!

I did the exact same thing. Enrolled in Edge, bought the HTC One, and kept unlimited. And I wasn't eligible for an upgrade on this line until November 2014.
Here is the link, I'm surprised it's not getting more attention:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423121
I upgrade on average once a year, maybe twice depending on what Samsung puts out. I usually get phones about a month or so after they come out off swappa or craigslist for about half the price of new. I used an upgrade to get the S3, then upgraded to the Note 2 about 3 months later. I sold the S3 for 450 and got the Note for 375. When the S4 came out, people were trying to trade straight across for the note 2. I could have "upgraded" but chose to stick with the note. So I figure it would cost me less to continue doing my upgrades as I have then it would be to go with edge. Phone companies are never working for you, its always about making money. We will see how good edge really is.
Seems like a ripoff

"Seems like"...?
I would like to raise that to a more definative "It is a ripoff".
I'm getting it right now to see if I like this phone instead of shelling out $200-300. If I don't like it, it goes back and the out of pocket is minimal. I'll probably get the Note 3.

it does seem like a rip off BUT if you can upgrade up to twice a year and keep unlimited data.
those are both pluses in my book. yes it will cost you more but its only money.

No biggy. If you could keep unlimited it it wouldn't be such a bad deal. As is though you are painting Dame price for service and also paying basically for a phone hag you just turn back into verizon for no credit and then buy more. It's a win win for them here...

Hell no! To loose unlimited is like loosing the right to have Internet on your phone. You might as well have a dummy phone or flip phone.

The only one that is truly a good deal is Tmobiles Jump program. It's 10 dollars and that includes full insurance. So basically you end up not paying much extra to upgrade every 6 months. Plus, you don't have to have your phone half paid for. The only downside... It's t-mobile service. Otherwise, you are paying a lot more with Verizon edge.
