[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Until it is on the site, nothing is confirmed. I have a friend that tested then for Verizon and he for a 16 gig version. Supposedly some other testers got a 32 gig.

I already saw that link.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
the site doesn't say whether its the 2/16 or the 3/32...
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
Finally showed up for me. However, I'm kinda holding back now because i dont want it to ship after on or after 7/17. I'd rather just go to the store and get it on release day. What's everyone doing in terms of deciding on shipping?
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
People, It will get delivered on or Before 7/17. Verizon ALWAYS makes sure it gets delivered on release day. Usually some people like those of us tonight who preorder now will see it delivered a day or 2 before the 17th. I am 99% about this, Because when we do preorders in store, we use the same site as you guys do at home and people received on or before date,

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

Also, I don't see the discount for 50% off. I will probably call them tomorrow so make the adjustment.
[Verizon LG G3] Galaxynote1234:
I see the price is $199.99 but isn't there supposed to be 50% off?
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
Per our systems at work. Verizon is only selling the 3GB/32GB Model. So people, Stop freaking out, because it doesn't tell you.

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

I went through with the preorder, But this is something you can call later on and they can adjust. I don't want to take any chances, Because i'd like mine on or before the 17th.

You don't get charged until the phone shipped, So just preorder phone and call Verizon tomorrow and they can make the adjustment.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
She didn't want to tell me, said it wasn't on the web page. I was looking right at it.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
It's, because it's through Iconic Portal. If you go on the standard web page, It's nowhere to be found.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
i'm going to take everything these reps say with a grain of salt right now. They seem clueless.

I spoke on the phone before closing time to confirm the data. 3/32 is the number I always got.

I pre-ordered it anyways - however the shipping date is concerning. The reps on chat tonight say it won't ship until the day of launch. Doesn't make sense. VZW got me all other pre-orders to arrive on launch day. I will be calling tomorrow to confirm when it ships out. If it ships day of launch, then I'll cancel and go get it in store.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
PEOPLE. Verizon is only carrying the 32GB/3GB Model. Stop wasting your time trying to find this out.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Anyone else trying to order at full retail getting an out of stock message?
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I work at a corporate store, I can assure you based in our systems that Verizon is only carrying the 32GB/3GB Model. Also, As for almost ALL our preorders, Verizon will have it delivered to your doorstep ON or in some cases BEFORE the ship date (7/17). Obviously, The longer you wait, The less chance you have at getting it sooner.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Edit: Never mind guess I had to select order with wireless service and select the month to month pricing.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c...l&selectedPhoneId=8293&selectedContractTerm=2

There you go, Theres your confirmation that it is the 32GB/3GB Model. For those having issues, Go through this portal to order. This is the standard order page, Not Iconic.

[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Thanks for the re-assurance. I was really going to be disappointed if it were the case of shipping day of launch.

I got mine in right on the minute, so hopefully I get it early :)

Got the white one with a circle case. Hopefully i don't regret the color (first white phone) =D
[Verizon LG G3] supermatt9:
I thought the battery was supposed to be removable, but this says non-removable.
[Verizon LG G3] netopalis007:
Where did you see the option to overnight ship it? I must have missed it somewhere
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
The black to me looks cheap, I like the White better, especially that the front is black and white. It'll look even nicer with a black case too. The white seems to be the least popular, So we'll get ours sooner :)
[Verizon LG G3] bills742:
Battery non-removable? That must be a typo.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
It was a pop up for me, just like the pop up asking about international setup.
[Verizon LG G3] jtemple42000:
At the end of the transaction, what is the final cost? I thought the were going for $99.99.
[Verizon LG G3] netopalis007:
Hmm. I saw one for keeping my 4g card, and I saw one for international setup. I guess no overnight for me :P
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Good call on the black case. I agree with you. The white looks quite nice. First phone I am comfortable with getting in white :)

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

I did the Edge program, so I just paid the cost for the accessory as of now.

It was just a pop up and wasn't a yes or no to confirm the shipping type. It was asking something on the lines of, "We often offer overnight shipping or same day shipping. Would you be interested in this option if it is available?"

I'm guessing I will be contacted or it will ship when it ships. Going to call tomorrow and confirm the shipping speed option
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
Mine already had "fedex 2day by 7pm" automatically in there, with no options or popups to change it.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
The website is reflecting the $99.99 deal. I went ahead and canceled my first order and reordered and the price is correct. For those who preordered it at 199 and want to get it at the 99, follow my steps below:

go here: https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do

Type in your confirmation under reference and then your last name, Click search and you are provided with an option to cancel.

Lastly, You CANNOT select overnight delivery for preorders.

Since Verizon can't guarantee preorders to ship on time, They do not offer Overnight shipping.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Did it have any alternative options? If not, then it would appear to be the standard one. My confirmation page does not show any details or info about shipping.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
Overnight delivery isn't an option for preorders. Verizon will automatically upgrade you to overnight if it comes down to getting it to you on the release date. Other than that, It's 2 DAY Fedex. They usually ship out devices 2-3 days before release date.
[Verizon LG G3] joonam46:
I have one question. Is the black color like the solid black like the leaked photo or is it same as all other carriers?
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Thanks for this - makes sense! I assume they don't charge your card till it ships?
[Verizon LG G3] jfwalsh:
got it preordered- california

at about 1020pm.

no choices on shipping speed.

no info about wireless charging

anybody see any info about wireless charging?

hope we all get it a bit early!
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
i heard somewhere that the circle case is supposed to provide wireless charging, but when looking at the case on vzw, there was no mention of wireless charging. I could be completely wrong, but im hoping that its built in...:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
I'm using Verizon Edge. I just Edged up to the S5, but I need to add a line for my son. I'm thinking about adding a line for the g3 and giving my son the s5, if they let me switch numbers. Anyone doing anything like this?
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
Correct.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

It's solid black, but still has the metallic looking design.
[Verizon LG G3] joonam46:
Has Anyone pre-ordered the phone with 50% off? I am trying to order but on the checkout it changes the price too 200. I tried the chat with the sales associate and he told me that it don't work with preorder phones.
[Verizon LG G3] nextgendpxd:
removable battery?

Verizon lists the battery as being unremovable and one of those live chat reps confirmed it. Maybe a typo? removable battery is a big ass selling point to some.
[Verizon LG G3] overzeetop:
That would suggest the back is non-removable (well, not intended by users), however that wouldn't be the case with the uSD. I suspect it's an error. Or, perhaps, they just don't sell the batteries. I'm in for a white one. Gotta love my corporate group - $99 with free overnight (when it does ship) and $42 for unlimited data.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I'm wondering this too. Looking at the VZW pictures and LG's website they look different. But I can't imagine VZW got theeir own unique shade of black...

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

How did you get the case for $35? I only see it for $50.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

I preordered it for $99. It all depends on where you start your order from. Try here:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...l&selectedPhoneId=8293&selectedContractTerm=2
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I have. $138 out the door

$99 here too with free shipping and corporate group unlimited data for $29.99 and 16% discount for like $25!! :D
[Verizon LG G3] dustinb17:
They actually do have their own unique color ... It's a darker black and I believe the power/camera are silver rather than matching the rest of the phone.
[Verizon LG G3] cj42:
I spoke to a sales representative over the online chat thing, who confirmed that the "non-removable battery" was a typo. I think I'll wait until after people have gotten them delivered to order mine, just to make sure - a non-removable battery is a dealbreaker for me, and the fact that it's removable was one of the most appealing things about the phone for me.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
thanks man. I figured since it has sd slot but then I remembered the htc one max lol but awesome news! cant wait to get this thing!
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
I got white.....hope it was a good choice.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Debating on paying $600+ to keep unlimited or do the $99 upgrade

Huge price difference, but I don't tend to use more than 6GB in a month, however I don't see that option when walking through the steps
[Verizon LG G3] CraiaSoftware:
Does anyone know if the Verizon LG G3 will include the wireless charging back cover in the box? I read that the LG G3 comes wireless charging ready, but that US carriers might change that to force you to buy more accessories. Anyone know?
[Verizon LG G3] overzeetop:
$25 all in or just for data? All in, that's killer. I just remembered - I need to go find out if Apple has a "fix" for the iMessage black hole since I'll be switching away from the Cult of Steve when mine comes in.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
No one was freaking out about the memory specs folks, just wanted it confirmed, thats all. Not everyone is a drama mamma.

:highfive::good:

Thanks, this link actually gives it to me for the right price.

So I've got a question for you guys and gals.

I'm currently with a Nexus 5 on Net10 (was a fun experiment, but I miss Verizon's service SOOO bad in New Mexico), and me and my wife want to come to verizon and pick up 2 of these phones at this great deal.

I'm going to be at a huge GIS Conference in San Diego next week so I need my Nexus 5 for that, and I'll return on the 18th...

You can probably see where I'm going here.

Can I pre order the phones with new phone numbers and then get my number ported AFTER I get back?

Does it cost something to do it that way?

Or should I pre order the phones with my numbers set to be ported, and that porting takes place when I activate the phone?

Thanks for the very informative thread. Hopefully some good cases come out ASAP and wireless charging backs show up.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
$25 for data $9.99 for adding a line plus text lol
[Verizon LG G3] LucasMN:
You didn't happen to take a screen shot of this, did you?

This is what's holding me back from ordering it.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Really? But the color description is the same as everyone else. If the color is different, then the description would be too? I do see the ring around the lens and the power button being silver and on the LG site they are black. Maybe Verizon has bad renderings.
[Verizon LG G3] overzeetop:
Well, if it's an option, it's an option that Verizon isn't offering yet - at least not that I could see. Though the business site isn't offering the LG G Watch yet, but the consumer side is, so maybe it's in there and I just couldn't find it.
[Verizon LG G3] dustinb17:
I haven't seen any of them in person but a photo of the lineup of all the carriers was leaked and the VZW version was noticeably darker and had a silver power button and camera.

This was just a leak so who knows but if it seems a bit darker in the photo on the site don't be surprised if it really is.
[Verizon LG G3] overzeetop:
The description is the same, but the leaked photos tell a different story: http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/127813-image/lgg3-all4.jpg
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I was going to do a bundle but the price just jumped $50 for some reason on it, considered going the ETF route
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
I am going to have to wait until it's in stores to buy it. Just not sure about the size of it yet without holding it myself. Plus I don't know if I want black or white. I always go with black but the white looks pretty good on this.
[Verizon LG G3] Lsantana954:
ordered the black one this morning. Glad to see the went with the 32g version.

where did you get 600 from? i was looking at paying full price as well but when i chatted with couple of the online support member they all told me the same thing, "being that its in pre-order status we dont have a full price available".

You were probably getting that price when i gave you the option to choose the insurance, it mentioned something about 599.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
I hope this rep is wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] bucsfann20:
What are the chances Verizon has a non removable battery while everyone else in the rest of the world is different?
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
No it is different.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

I asked cust service confirm and they said no wireless this time. At least not bundled.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Only way I could understand why is if it had to do with wireless charge which they say it doesn't have so who knows . . .
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
I think this is soooo messed up! I'll definitely return mine if it's non removable! Idiots! Samsung can have removable batteries but not lg! Only reason I'm not canceling is I have a free LG watch bundle on my invoice otherwise I'd cancel my order.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
and they lose sales on batteries I don't get it :confused:
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
I don't buy my extra batteries from Verizon. Non removable battery equals less data usage. Android people are to smart to be wall huggers!
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
You guys panicing over the typo on Verizon website are overreacting. Do you think VZW got some different build of the phone? All G3's have removable batteries.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I don't think its because of data usage. let me do some digging
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Verizon support confirmed it on Twitter. Reliable enough source to go on soooo no panic involved just frustration.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

It was a joke. Verizon has some power trip going on.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
People, It's Removable.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I saw the option on the site when you select view all pricing or whatever and the sales rep on the phone confirmed off contract pricing at $599. I ended up adding a line, will determine whether I want to cancel.

$99 for the phone in white

$172 for the bundled G-Watch

$18 for tempered glass screen protector

+Tax = $308

New line of Service for 2 yrs = $10 a month or $240

v.

ETF = $350

I'll keep the shell account open to use for future upgrades

Rep is def wrong, all they do is read the info in the system
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
The twitter account is just another CS rep who's going by bad info. Look at the In The Box section on the VZW G3 page. It says "Lithium Ion Battery (3000 mAH)". In the box. How can a non-removable battery come in the box?

What's more likely, CS reps getting bad info or VZW being the only carrier in the world to get some re-engineered G3 that still has a removable back cover but now has an altered battery so it's nonremovable? It's asinine, look at it from LG's point of view - are they really going to redesign a phone so that 1 carrier out of 1000 worldwide can have a change like a removable battery? It makes no sense.

And it's not like going from removable to nonremovable is a simple change. There isn't a guy in a factory applying some glue to the battery before putting it in the device. The phone was engineered to run on a removable battery, it would be a major change.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Thanks for all the info folks, just ordered 2 white ones, $215 after tax. 2 day shipping is what it threw on there, but the chat rep said it'll show up the same day it is available for everyone else (overnight not available on items for preorder as they can't actually send it overnight she said.).

Also, she told me you need to buy the wireless charging cover seperately. Looking into that now.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
The wireless charging cover is the Quick Circle case from LG.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
I had read that somewhere but didn't see it say anything about wireless charging on the description. Not just that, but I don't really like that case (Seidio and Incipio for me).

Hopefully there's a wireless back available somewhere, Nexus 5 = Addicted to Wireless Charging.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
good point. it better be removable
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
It is, Common sense + several people reporting VZW saying it's a typo.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
And we all know they are idiots
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
How long is the $99 deal good for? Will it still be available on the 17th etc?
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Till 27th.
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
It goes till July 27th, exactly a week before I upgrade oh I feel the burn now... Ill try and talk to a store rep to see if I can get the price or upgrade a week early somehow... but I doubt they will be that chill.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
I hope the rep and Verizon support on Twitter is wrong. It doesn't make sense they would have it non removable.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
One of my lines is only 8 days out and my rep couldn't approve the early upgrade. I asked him to check with his supervisor, but he seemed doubtful. We'll see....
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
Knowing Verizon we'd have to pay some insane early upgrade fee on top of everything... I might just wait... or suck it up and pay the $200...

[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
I agree that companies wanna nickel and dime you, but network congestion is not fabricated, I don't care how many "technical" people speak on it. ~100 gb of data a month is ridiculous. If everyone used that much on mobile networks, we'd be in trouble. I hate data caps as much as anyone, but seeing how many people abuse the crap out of unlimited, I understand it.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
But that's the point, their networks can handle the load and were it fine before they implemented data caps. Of course congestion can happen but real world usage was not causing any problems based on the accounts of industry tech workers. But providers saw an area they could squeeze some more money out of consumers, so they fabricated the reason for cap saying "oh we need to scale back traffic, need more money to upgrade" etc.

People who use 100gb a month are probably in the top .1% of data users. Of course if everyone used that much data there would be problems, but that's not a realistic expectation.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I didn't know they had these with usb ends. The one I have at home is just direct to the wall. So I would just plug this into a usb car jack and good to go I guess. I wouldn't use the cradle since I don't like things mounted on my dash or windshield. thx.

So... getting back to the thread title; any update on when this will be released by Verizon? Keep hearing July, but nothing exact yet.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
My main concern is what model. The G2 is 32gb, but no sd. I can see VZW low ball with the G3 and pimp the sd as expandable storage. Given Kitkat killed third party app function for sd, 10gb of app storage is inadequate for me and a lot of folks.

If VZW offers only one model, I bet it is the 2/16, but hope I lose that bet.

My 32gb S4 has been great though :)
[Verizon LG G3] GrainOsand:
Verizon sold this man an "UNLIMITED DATA PLAN" Not an Unlimited up to 5gb then we throttle and abuse you plan. Comon man, I use my "UNLIMITED DATA PLAN" For all my data needs. I haven't come close to 100 gb in a month, but I use 20gb with ease.

Efffffffffff Verizon. It's not abuse.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
It's definitely abuse. What you guys don't understand is that if everyone was doing insane amounts of data, the network would bog down and be extremely congested and ruin the network for everyone else.

The fact that people use more than 20gb/month is ridiculous. Remember, these are cell phones and are not supposed to be our main source for cable and what not.

I use about 4gb a month and I do A LOT, but I'm also smart when it comes to using wifi. I go to my tablet for the heavy stuff.

My Point is, people who are using insane amounts of data is THE reason for the data caps.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

I'm also willing to bet that if T Mobile, Sprint and all these random prepaid companies had the amount of customers Like Verizon, they wouldn't have unlimited.
