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

Just 1 year contract though, right? I thought I heard employees get 1 yr contracts.

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.

Under the vzw memo for deal it states we risk termination if we sell this after buying it.
BTW, hope to jump on this deal as soon as its available.

I thought you quit working for the overlords of hell?
I just got done talking to a best buy representative, and they told me that as the of 2 days ago, any kind of hardware change will cancel your unlimited Internet. So you cannot purchase phones from eBay and use that loophole anymore.
Edit: Apparently this is a false flag and Best Buy has zero clue of what's going on. But I'm not saying that they won't close this loophole in the future.

I talked to Verizon yesterday about going to the note 2 and they never mentioned anything like that. They confirmed pretty much what I already know (In order to keep your unlimited, you would have to upgrade another line, or add a line, then transfer the phone, or supply your own phone) You shouldn't always believe what you hear, especially from the salesmen at best buy.

They said they have had a bunch of angry customers these past few days and that Verizon is trying to close every loophole possible on us unlimited planners.
If this is true I'm ditching Verizon and going pre-paid. Nexus 4 on Straight Talk is looking pretty promising.
Ok? So what would happen if I switch while under contract? I'm good up to October.
This isn't true, I'm not saying the OP is making it up, but I do think the guy at best buy is blowing smoke up his ass. If this were the case, it would be all over the internet by now. Try googling it.

Honestly I'm not inclined to believe it either. Even if OP's story is true, I've been told blatantly wrong information from Best Buy and Verizon sales people on multiple occasions.

Well right now, how me and my wife are doing it... We have 4 total lines, 2 with unlimited data, and 2 with dummy phones. To keep our unlimited, we just upgrade the dummy lines, then transfer the new phones over to our unlimited lines. Our unlimited plans remain untouched.

i'm sure i would've heard of this.
if this is the case, then that first time you do an ESN switch, you'd lose unlimited. i esn switched to my DNA 2 weeks ago, and i'm still good. if i ESN switch to the gs3 to get teh update and i drop unlimited, i'll let you know, raise hell to verizon, and possibly leave them after 15 years if they won't give it back lol

So they shut it down? Has anyone been able to upgrade and keep unl data still? Or is it too late?

Mine has a delivery date of 10/10. I'm pretty sure thats the day its released.

Mine automatically came with overnight but I think it had to do with ordering through a business account.
You should get it a day early I believe. I think if I remember correctly I had regular shipping on s4 pre-order and got early so should be fine

Same here. I ordered slightly before noon on the 6th with a business account and I am still showing 10/10 with no email either. I'd expect I would be in one of the early batches.
Got mine pre-ordered this past weekend. Was able to get upgrade and keep unlimited data. Yipee! Verizon has said even though it was a software glitch, they were going to honor all upgraded that were placed and approved. Shows shipping by 10/10 but I've heard leaks that they will most likely ship earlier. I've had the Note since a week after release and it's been great. I still use it daily and it's still in great shape. If the Note 3 life is similar I will be quite happy.
Kinda wondering why Samsung felt the need to artificially inflate the benchmarks ~ http://tinyurl.com/l5jxj2m
So many threads about pre-orders. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to go pick this one up myself. Are you going to get your Note 3 from the store? Post here about your experience. Going early? Was there a line? Plenty of stock?

I'm at my local BB, no one is here! They open at 10am. I will be first in line. I bought the LG G2 last thurs to replace my note 2. Big mistake!!! Once you go Big you never go back.
The G2 felt extremely small, even with the 5.2" display it just felt wrong! I used it for about an hour and I still haven't taken the protective film off. It's been sitting in the box on my desk for a week.
Hopefully it's an easy exchange process and I'm out quickly. I gave my cousin my note 2 in exchange for his upgrade and I've been using the iPhone 5 from my business line.
10am can't come fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
2 people just pulled up! They are sitting in their car. It appears we are sizing each other up. I'm pretty sure I can beat them to the front door, they look out of shape! It's raining here, so no one wants to stand outside. This might get ugly!!!!! LOL

I read about your situation in the pre-order thread. That absolutely sucks and sounds like something that would happen to me. I was planning to pay for my upfront cost by billing to my account and having the money ready by my next bill, but found out that isn't an option with Edge.
