I walked into the "official" Verizon store today (not one of the authorized retailers), and I asked them if they knew when ICS would be available on the Razr. I figured they wouldn't know anything and tell me that, but the group of them told me that ICS would be available shortly and that it was already rolling out to phones at about 1000 at a time. I call BS on this whole situation but decided to post what I heard today in person.
aww would be nice, though i definitely don't believe it.. if it was already rolling out i'm sure we would have heard some news by now..

You're right, complete BS. Thanks for sharing.
Assuming nothing bad happens over the next few weeks, I’d say the 29th of November is the big day. Can you patiently wait a month?

Uh, Best Buy is already selling a Verizon Note 2 in some places.
We can be patient, but we'd also like it sooner. Anybody does since Verizon is Effing us over with it.

Has this been confirmed? I read that some Bestbuys have them on display. I called my local Bestbuy and they did not have them in stock.

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.

That says new customer 2 year act. Nothing about pre order.
Definitely looks like they are selling it.

Nobody has confirmed it.
Could've been the wrong ad put out early.
And I believe this happened to the AT&T note too at some places, but it was only for preorder. This seems like the right time for preorder anyways.
Sure looks like it, but dont say they are selling it when no one has confirmed it. Even droid central beat around the bush basically avoiding the words available at best buy now
I wonder if Verizon will delay the Note 2 even more, seeing as how the DROID DNA is coming out the 21st...

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.
29th
I called a non-corporate store yesterday and they said they didn't have a release day. They called back today and said they just recieved a call from verizon that the official release day is the 29th.

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.

VZW, never early, but always on-time. It seems like those original documents that surfaced about the N2 launch were correct.
That sucks, on the plus side only ten more days. I woud've liked to have it over thanksgiving break.

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.
26th
Just an update guys. I called VZW Corporate and the lady I spoke to said my order should ship BY the 26th if that helps any. Who knows at this point

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.

Nobody asked in the thread when we're getting the note. The question was if it was available at Best Buy. They changed the "Availability" portion on their site. Figured it was a legitimate question. My apologies for consuming your time.

I have been dying to get this phone, especially because I am waiting to switch to ATT from Sprint to get this phone. I want the Glacial Silver but none of the stores have gotten any stock or know anything about it and the website still only has the Gunmetal. Bestbuy has the silver for ATT as "coming soon" but I have no idea if I should trust best buys website. Anyone heard anything about the silver ATT branded one?
Im suprised no one has heard anything at all. It seems like the Gunmetal is so popular no one is concerned with the SIlver for the small minority of us who prefer it.

How did you get them to tell you this? I have been talked to a couple store managers and a telesales manager and they all have no idea and say they won't know it's coming in until a day or two before it launches which could be months away they seem to think. The 25th is a bit far away but it's better than not knowing at all when it's coming so I hope it's true.

I just told her I was planning to port my numbers from Verizon to AT&T and wanted to see if there way any way to get it sooner. She said no. 4/25 is when it will be released on all channels. Who knows if she really had that information but that is what she told me.

It's hard to say. I saw someone over on androidcentral forums posted ATT reps gave him exact same date, so unless that was you posting over there as well under a different name then 2 different people have been told by ATT it's coming on the 25th. I don't know why some reps have this info and others have literally no idea when it is coming, so your guess is as good as mine at this point.
I just got an email back from an AT&T executive manager in sales planning. They do not have details on the silver M8. This means there is no release date set.

I bought the unlocked glacial si;ver directly from HTC and received it but I started reading posts about how AT&T Visual Voice Mail doesn't work on the unlocked device so I decided to return it. I know I could use Google Voice for Voicemail but I tried it on my current phone and it seems flaky. Plus, I don't want to go back and forth between HTC and AT&T if I have problems with the unlocked device on ATT. I can see ATT blaming the fact that I have an unlocked phone causing any netowrk problems. I don't need that headache. I guess I'll wait for the Silver One on AT&T whenever that may be. I did stop by a corporate store today and the sales rep said there is currently no SIlver One in their system. Nothing we already didn't know.

Yea there has only been 1 HTC One M8 for ATT gone through and it doesn't specify the color, so since Grey and Gold are both out then that doesn't really give any information. If there isn't any info at all about release does that mean it is pretty far out? Like if it were coming out in the next week there would be some information available? Or is it possible it can just launch without any indication so theoretically it could be out by this Friday or next week sometime?

That totally crossed my mind when I saw it on both but I hoped it wasn't you since that means it is just slightly more evidence to a specific date. I would definitely take that reps comment with a grain of salt since no one else at ATT seems to have access to any dates, I can't imagine one rep has something that not everyone has access too.
Hi
I've been for a long time a Samsung Note user but this year the Note 8 disappoints me, so I am looking for a V30.
I am an early adopter, I don't have enough patience for the global launch and I was wondering if you might know a reliable korean source to preorder it.
Cheers~
What a joke on LGs part. Announce a phone and then give no indication of its release.

Same here. They keep posting pics of it on their IG and I keep commenting about the release. Nothing. They comment on most things but that. I have the S8+ and a bad itch to get something new. I do not want the Note 8. I also hate to go back to Apple, but if the X is released before the V30, I might get it. Then check out the XL2

The LG V30 will probably be on the korean market starting from september 21, you can preorder it on Ebay.
I don't know if the bootloader will be locked or not but the phone is branded and there are some korean apps that cannot be uninstalled.

I will wake up early and preorder it. I will wait on the Tmobile variant of the V30 unless the wait goes into Oct/Nov.
To be honest, i don't know how LG survives? They are making mistakes after mistakes in bootloops, hardware choice, hardware distribution, release dates, announcements, delivery date. Their next mistake will be pricing of the v30.
How doest their mobile division still exist?!

if you got jump on demand with tmobile you can get the s8 then get the V30. now with tmobile you can jump every 30 days.
They finally replied to the 100s of comments on every pic they post of the V30 on IG asking about the release date. To add more insult they said "Very soon" "Only a little bit longer". Not a damn date!!
Nothing new here. Same process as the V20. Which they also messed up the shipping out of once we all did get our pre-orders in.
I don't know about pre-order, but extrapolating the LG G6 schedule, U.S. carrier branded LG V30 should come by October 10 (40 days after official announcement on August 31).
THEN U.S. "carrier unlocked" version probay 5 weeks (35 days) later in mid-November. November 14, if they keep the exact same timeline, which they probably won't... But curious to see how much it will differ.
I purchased the Korean lgg6 and while its a solid phone, the lg store won't work, its region locked. I'm gonna guess a Korean v30 would be the same and moreover I imagine that could impact any other lg server specific features.

That is all it will take to completely lose my interest. It would have to come with 6GB of RAM, the US998 would have to have band 71, and it would have to be $700 or less to recapture my interest if it isn't out by the time the new Pixel line is out.
