lol well when you put it like that id look like an ******* to not go to apple and get the 32gb! but if i cant pre-order from apple im going to take that money i WOULD have saved and give it to verizon, simply for letting me pre-order my iphone before everyone else. it's financially irresponsible, trust me i know, but i really really want that phone man
I hear you, I really do but, the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off that VZW would do this to us. AND it is a fact that thye are charging 649/749 as it's on their site FAQ now.
I'm a tech whore too and it's an expensive habit. BUT, I'm always looking to get the best for the money I have set aside for something. And then think what if you don't get the phone until the 11th or 12th like the people who order on the 10th? What if the pre-order is simply nothing more than a pre-order?
Has anybody called Apple to see if they will be doing pre-orders on 2/3 as well??
There's a thread around here somewhere where somebody contacted VZW and Apple stating the pre-order would be at both places. Problem is one person says yes then the next says no and that's including VZW AND Apple reps. So you could call one VZW rep get one answer, hang up call back and get a totally different answer. Same goes for Apple. I've been meaning to call but, I get fairly busy during the day.
Wow, what kind of nonsense is that?
No wonder they didnt let Bestbuy and other retailers sell the CDMA iphone also.
Sell the iphone for more than what Apple sells it for?
Utter BS. And let me state that I accepted paying full retail. I won't lie, I did try to get them to move up my upgrade but they would not, so I accepted it and moved on. Call me crazy but, I am a heavy Apple user and have been waiting on the iPhone at VZW forever and set aside the money for it. However, like a lot of other VZW customers I gave up in the middle of last year, caved in, and used my upgrade for an original Droid to hold me over. My fault I guess, but I got tired of the endless rumors resulting in nothing and I needed a new phone for business when I'm not near my Mac. I bitched and moaned, they wouldn't relent, so I accepted I can pay full now and sell my Droid and hold onto my upgrade if/when another iPhone is released and sell the ViPhone 4.
But, the extra $50 being charged by them is totally unacceptable when you can plainly see Apple's pricing on the Apple site. Let's not forget that Verizon will be charging full sales tax too.
For the record I emailed Verizon and nothing as far as a $50 credit for me either. Just my ETF fee if I want to cancel.
Don't worry though the telco moon-lickers will be along shortly to tell us all that we're whining, this is American Business and if we don't like it, we can suck it.
