The car dock I have is wireless Charing. Mix that with bt audio and it's nice. Start the car and go. Phones Charing and radio is ready. I have a pad inbeded in my nightstand and coffie table. if you combine that with how good the g2 battery is. The phone never needs to be plugged in.
[Verizon LG G3] bill3508:
Ready to get mine. The S3 has been great, really nearly the perfect device. I might be shocked by the G3 size at first but I'll get use to it. Having to find a decent Verizon rep that will let me keep my unlimited will be a hassle again. I use 75-95 gbs a month so its needed.

Yea. You're the reason unlimited is gone. People abusing the network make it hard for everyone
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
One day in the future we will look back and say, "you remember when we used to have data caps?" Seriously, how long can they possibly keep this stupid limited data model in today's connected world. It's ridiculous.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

What model/make is that? Does it work well or interfere with anything?
[Verizon LG G3] zathus:
Agreed on the data cap comment. The same thing will happen that happened with text messaging.

The car dock is the LG puck car dock. The link below has some good pictures of what it is. mine is completely molded into the car though. I like to make things look a little custom lol

[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
It's not abuse, he just happens to be a heavy user. The justification networks use for implementing data caps is completely fabricated. Many people with the technical knowledge have commented on this. Data caps are just another revenue source for network operators, same goes for ISPs as well.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
I'm done with Samsung's BS too, although still like my Note II with an unlocked bootloader.:cool:

Like the Galaxy S5, the G3 was rooted with Towelroot, but I think I read this morning where someone received an OTA, which broke root. It's too early to tell if the bootloader will be a problem as all we have to go by so far is the international versions, which typically aren't as locked down as they are in the US.

You DO have 14 days to evaluate the phone and return it (buyer's remorse), but bear in mind if you can't find it in the store (like my HTC One Max) and can't print the return label (you only get two tries so don't use Chrome twice) and you can't get the phone returned prior to the end of those 14 days, you may have to return it to your local store, where they're more lenient. Otherwise you'll pay full price for the phone AND if you shipped it back after those 14 days, you're also out the phone. (True story.)
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
That off center verizon logo may stand out even more that the one on my Note 2's button. I wonder how easy it would be to remove. I think it often can be with rubbing alcohol?
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Old news from 3 weeks ago. It's less than a week til the 10th and VZW is silent.

I think it's going to be under the glass so if that's the case, it's going to require a lot of effort, if not impossible.

Stopped by the Verizon store locally yesterday; salesguy said that its coming "this month"; if they know something definite then they aren't telling :(.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
And branch employees are notorious for knowing nothing/having bad info so that means little.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
The last time I was at local Verizon (2 weeks ago), the manager asked me what I knew about the G3 and when it was coming....:laugh:
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
yeah exactly. He said the LG rep had spoken to them and told them that the phone is coming "this month". I still think the leak from evleaks is correct and 17th is gonna be the day for Verizon.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Man Verizon changing stuff again :eek: . In any case i'm gonna go with white. It looks like they wanted to go full black, yet retain the same brushed metal look type, which you can see if you look closer at the phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Yea...frigging Verizon. I've been with them 4 months and already hate them.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
I was going to leave verizon and go with the G3 on another carrier but now that I see that the Verizon version's screen button is silver instead of black, I think I'll stay with them. :rolleyes:
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
lol :p. I'm gonna get the G3 in white, so it doesn't matter. Maybe i'll pick up a gold backplate from Sprint as well.

We're suppose to get preorder for the VZW G3 on the 11th. But that's 5 days away and still VZW is silent. With the images showing the VZW variant being different colors and that other leaked VZW branded G3 showing August date, I'm starting to get a bad feeling..
[Verizon LG G3] mikec86:
I thought pre-order was the 10th and release on the 17th.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
I have a feeling on the 10th they will announce and say it's available for preorder. Just a hunch, no real clue.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
I was at my local Costco yesterday; the salesguy in the mobile phone section said that pre-orders start on the 10th for VZW and the phone will launch on the 17th :good:. Everything is already in their system and only the 3/32 version is showing up, so that's good news :). The rep there said that he doesn't see the point of selling the 2/16 version cause the G2 was 32 gb. I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon announces their plans tomorrow. He did say he doesn't see any pricing in the system though, and as for colors, he just guessed black and white, but no confirmation on that either.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
Hopefully that's all true[emoji1]
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Nothing official yet, just rumors.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

It's weird u got so much information out of a reseller. I've asked people in 5-6 different Verizon stores, and agents at Target, Bestbuy, Radioshack and a few more for any info and they were all clueless. Usually retailers are the 2nd last to know, the consumer being the last.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
Costco is pretty good about this stuff though; they gotta know things well ahead of time to plan sales and what not seeing as they are a store that buys and sells in bulk. Somebody else on here also said they heard the same thing from their local Costco as well. I'm thinking pricing will hit a day or two before the 10th. I'm gonna wait till the inevitable price drops. Costco has the S5 for $99 bucks; i can see the G3 getting discounted as well.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

i don't see why it wouldn't be lol, plus someone else on here reported the exact same information. The salesguy seemed pretty excited about the phone actually; he has a G2 apparently.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
Getting excited!!! Want this phone now lol
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
yeah i want it too :); even better if the verizon one comes with wireless charging standard.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
That would rock!!
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I've seen Verizon before announce pre orders the same day.. So we might not hear anything until the 10th.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I hope you're right!
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Verizon has done pre-order and announcement on the same day numerous times with only an info/placeholder page

This is nothing new. Hopefully, which has happened in the past, the page goes live on July 10 with the pre-order option

But this is Big Red so who knows what will happen ::fingers crossed::
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Lol. AT&T will have theirs available the 11th, pre-order tomorrow. Verizon lagging again
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I know.. Lol.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
key word "lagging". :rolleyes:
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I hope VZW does some type of discount for other accessories with the pre-order like ATT is. 50% off is awesome, I would buy the G-Watch if they did that ... nm just saw a 2 yr commitment, I am buying off-contract
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Verizon is arrogant due to their coverage map. They act like a monopoly.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Agree 100%. Been with Verizon a short time, already hate them. My issue is AT&T and T Mobile coverage is a joke and Sprint has never had 4G where I am. I'm kind of stuck...for now.
[Verizon LG G3] shawnten:
when your the best in the business you get cocky. Its human nature. Not saying I agree with it but facts are facts. you cant deny verizons coverage and you definitely pay for it. For instance even my spell checker recognizes verizons superiority because it keeps underlining it because i didnt capitalize it. lol
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
haha, yeah mine has done that too :silly: . I'm going to swing by the AT&T store this weekend to check out the G3, since they are getting it this week. Would be a nice preview for our version lol.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
It's looking more and more like a release in August. I'm sure we can thank Verizons need to make LG phones different from every other carrier.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
um its July 17th...its already confirmed. I checked with my local Costco.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
Lol. It MUST be true then. COSTCO said so
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
What makes you say that? My contact confirmed pre-orders start on the 10th and we'll have the 3/32 version.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Better then Verizon reps lol.
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
Still debating on getting this on Verizon August 4th (my upgrade date) or waiting for the moto x+1 to see how that is... Im just blown away that the G3 seems to be the only flagship phone (in 2014) Verizon has totally tampered with ... I saw the M8, S5, iphone 5S and moto x in store and they had no front logos or modified designs from other carriers... Hopefully those leaks are not true...
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
damn no need to get all snippy :eek:. The guy look straight at his computer and told me point blank, pre-orders are the 10th and the release date is the 17th. I heard the same on here from someone else who asked at their local Costco.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Same here. I had my mind set on the G3 until I saw that logo. fingers crossed that the leaks are not the final version. if they are I probably won't preorder, I'll go to store when it's available and see exactly how ugly it is.
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
the logos dont even bother me as much as the damn chrome ring around the camera and button on the back. fricken verizon and the "hey look at me, I am different"
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
I will probably do the same considering I have 2 weeks till after it supposedly launches to make a decision.

Ya I can probably ignore the logos, but that also bugs the heck out of me... just why WHY mess with the design of the phone and add extra work for everyone for NO REASON.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
People that I know and reviews that I trust have stated the Qhd is an overall negative for heavier users with the G3. Will wait for the 810 next year that is 20nm and the second generation Qhd displays that require less power. Qhd now is too much for a 28nm chip to efficiently manage. Hopefully though, the 805 is as big a step up as the 800 was from the 600. Big battery improvement from 600 to 800. Same 28nm family.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
This is true..

lol alright :). I just saw a G3 commercial on TV tonight; the tagline said "Coming soon to all carriers". Looks like LG is starting with the ad blitz.
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
Droid Life just posted this today http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/09/verizon-g3-july-17-july-10-deals/. If Verizon does release the G3 at $99 then it might have been worth the wait for me.

Yeah, it becomes an automatic no-brainer. Sign me up!
[Verizon LG G3] grim281:
I might finally lose my unlimited data getting this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
ye that bugs me a little, too. when my wife lost her unlimited plan they (Verizon) had a 6G plan for the same $30, that's not too bad. I hope they still do that.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
Hopefully when they say "new 2 year agreement", renewals will count...
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
yeah $99 bucks is awesome; i predict its going to stay that way too...
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
What's the retail price? 600?
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Not worth it for the G3 or any device. The G3 will fade away, but unlimited is for the new shining device star. Unlimited is a life force ;). Well, that until the black hole known as corporate greed and bonus structures were to kill it.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Yes, that price differentiates with the prime version that will release just before the iPhone 6 ;). Maybe really.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I will likely be buying full retail so I don't lose my unlimited data
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Of course they do. Well, atleast in the past whenever there's been a promo on "new 2 year contracts" it includes existing customers as well.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
$579 at AT&T. I'd assume it would be about the same with Verizon.

I know third party sellers like Amazon have different deals for actual new customers and upgrades. Not sure if Verizon (Wireless) itself ever has, but I've never heard of a deal this good going on which is why I wonder.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
Very excited with the $99 leak.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
what if I get a new 2y contract but buy the phone at full price to keep my unlimited data? they will do 50% like $300? doubt it but would be fun to find out. :D
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Not in a million years. But you could add a line to your current plan, Buy the G3 for $99 then cancel the contract and pay $350 ETF. That way you have a G3 at $450 instead of $600.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
That's an idea. Definitely better than full price.
[Verizon LG G3] ThePagel:
That is quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever read. I honestly wouldn't feel guilty of doing that to Verizon at all.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
My contact confirmed the $99 price. I'm in!
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
In case we needed any more confirmation...
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Now is that EST or PST? :)
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
EST
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
The $99 deal sounds amazing! Too bad my upgrade isn't till the 4th of August (so no sale price for me) ... :( , Hopefully they don't sell out by the time I can upgrade...
[Verizon LG G3] bill3508:

If you're a long-time customer in good standing, you can ask a manager to move your upgrade date up.:D

I did that once with a BOGO Valentines day sale so my wife could also get a new phone.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
I hope this is true. My upgrade date is July 27th, but my parents is shortly after the first of August. We were just talking about this today and wondering if it's possible. I'm not sure they have ever had service through anybody else since they got rid of their bag phone many moons ago.....
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
This has to be the greatest thing I have ever heard.. they have to have a catch to not let this happen though right??
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
You can also swap upgrades with someone else on your plan. I use my mother's upgrade once to get a Note II. She has a flip phone and no-way does she want to learn a new phone.
[Verizon LG G3] supermatt9:
If you live by a Costco go there and see if they can keep your unlimited data. I've done it at my Costco and had two different Costcos tell me they can do it. It can be done.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
Their upgrade dates are the same....knowing my dad, he won't be persistent enough to get it done anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
What can they do to stop it? I guess if the promotion has some requirement of keeping the phone X amount of days they can try and charge you another $99 but I don't find that likely.
[Verizon LG G3] sinman02:
To Edge or not to Edge

Unfortunately I joined Verizon after they stopped offering unlimited data. Thus my options are more clear cut.

I called Verizon today because my contract is up at the end of this month and they confirmed the $99 sale price tomorrow. The rep also confirmed a retail price of $600 for the 3/32 GB model.

I'm currently on a 2 year contract with 10 GB of data per month. That's $100 for data and two phones for $40 each totaling $180 per month before taxes and fees.

Under their Edge plan, I could buy the G3 for $30/month for each phone for 20 months, after which the phone is paid off (mine to keep) and I could cancel service without penalty, They would also then give me a $25 service credit for each phone for as long as I'm an Edge subscriber, meaning that I would continue to get the credit after 20 months if I remain with Verizon. So for two phones with 10 GB, I would be paying $190 per month for 20 months. $100+(2*$40)+(2*$30)-(2*$25).

Under the two year contract I'd be paying $4320 (180/month for 24 months) plus the cost of two new G3's on sale ($200) plus "upgrade" fees of $60 for a total of $4580.

Under Edge, I'd be paying $3800 ($190/month for 20 months)...with a shorter time commitment plus the option to "upgrade" to a new phone next year if I want to.

Am I missing something? Why on earth would anyone sign up for a 2 yr contract anymore....even if the phone's on sale for "half" off?
[Verizon LG G3] kwkw480:
It will be pointless for me to buy this phone if the bootloader is locked. there will be close to no development if this is the case. let's hope verizon keep their nose out of this one...

please phone gods give us a loophole
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
It's a no Brainer as long as you're on a 10 GB or higher plan. If it's under 8 or less, You only get $10 off per month.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
They won't keep their nose out of it, the bootloader will come locked. Just a question of finding an exploit. LG phones have gotten unlocked in the past so let's hope.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
i bet you it will be $99 somewhere else, like Costco.

Check iconic at preorder.verizonwireless.com
[Verizon LG G3] netopalis007:
From talking with a chat agent, it sounds like we won't be able to see the pre-order until it becomes 12:01 in our timezone.

I checked the preorder.verizonwireless.com site, and I still cannot see the g3. Guess it'll be another couple hours of waiting.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
it's 12:16 am where I'm at...I can't find it. Not even if I follow the link above...
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
I can confirm. No pre-order until 12:01AM local time. 3 more hours...
[Verizon LG G3] bucsfann20:
Anyone upgrading an existing line, what is the price of the phone? Is it still the $99?
[Verizon LG G3] jfwalsh:
but i can buy the circle case

lol. the case is available for purchase, along with otterbox and screen covers.

when i told the rep, who had previously never heard of the phone (boooo), she saw it too, and said have to wait til 1201 local time.

boooooo, are we now behind est peeps?
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
I'm in EST I can't see it....
[Verizon LG G3] bucsfann20:
I'm in Tampa and I can't either. Keep refreshing but nothing.

On the other hand, if someone was to wait until the 13th or 14th to preorder, what are the chances of

Verizon running out?
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
ok guys....here's how to get it pre-ordered. I just did.

https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/

Once you get to the devices page click on all devices at the top of the page and then change it to LG.

MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE ALL DEVICES. Then filter it by LG. Boom. G3.

Have fun :)
[Verizon LG G3] bucsfann20:
I'm not sure if this is coincidence, but I clicked "All devices" next to the Select Wireless Device at the top and the phone showed up. Shows $199.99.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Any confirmation on memory setup?
[Verizon LG G3] changt34x:
If you all are looking through the iconic portal (only way currently to see it), make sure to choose to show "All Devices" instead of "Showcase Devices." If you don't see it you're not missing much, no specs are given and the 50% off pricing is not even active yet.

I just tried again using new customer and a CST zip code and it shows up, so it may/may not be up already for those that are not EST like me.
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
Doesn't show up for me. I'm in CA, so I'm guessing we need to wait until midnight our time.
[Verizon LG G3] bucsfann20:
Thank you. Hope you get the phone days beforehand!
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Who the hell would preorder without a solid memory specification?
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Same...the representative in live chat was a buzz kill. He told me it wouldn't ship until 2 days AFTER the 17th. I believe he is wrong.

However, during the process I selected a prompt to overnight the phone if I wanted to. I opted for it.

Lastly, I'm Central Time. I was able to pre-order. Here is what I did that may have worked. At the top of their website you can see it has a location set. I just changed it to the East Coast and then cleared cache, logged back in the link I provided and I was able to.

Again, I made this mistake, make sure you click ALL DEVICES. Do not just filter by LG or else you will not see it. Good luck!
