we also sell teh Zagg glass screen protector for the LG G3 as well. gonna snatch one up for mine with my discount. $40 for u all, $17 for me!!! :laugh:

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

We have a girl like that at my store. Actually, almost all of the Mobile people are like that. Completely oblivious to knowing relevant info about devices, release dates and everything. Everyone keeps turning to me, the "new guy" for release dates because "i have my sources" lol. One girl in particular is absolutely gorgeous. Straight up eye candy. I think my boss hired her for that reason because she does hardly NOTHING. Shes the one who will go on a scavenger hunt for a product we dont have lol.
[Verizon LG G3] cpg1987:
I agree. They should have just not put anything there on display because that is tacky to look at. I would have loved to get it at Best Buy this time around. But, since the BB here doesn't have any, I'm going to the Verizon store :eek:
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
You can still get tempered glass protectors for less than $17 on Amazon or eBay.

Zagg just overcharges for the same thing others sell for less.
[Verizon LG G3] refreshguru:
Upgraded to G3 from my Rezound. The wait is killing me.

Supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

Gave up my unlimited data to do it and got a call from Verizon today offering a loyalty reward plan with 900 minutes and 6 GB of data.

Works for me since i have never used more than 2 GB in month.

Anyone else been offered this when upgrading from the unlimited plan?
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
A literal unboxing video.

I should film myself unpacking groceries.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
Well true, you're right. I just like the fact that i can go back into my store if something happens to it and grab me another on off the shelf for free lol.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Looked like he was sneaking the video..lol
[Verizon LG G3] tkmcguire1:
My tracking says it departed Memphis at 7:42am this morning,it hasn't updated since then. I live in Oklahoma which is about 12-14hrs from there,so it had to have gotten to Tulsa which is the main hub they come into by now,I guess it just hasn't scanned in yet.

I can't wait till it gets here tomorrow,I've been without a phone since Monday,I sold my HTC One M8. So I have no idea if anyone has called or texted. Tomorrow can't get here soon enough:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

Ugh,well it finally scanned in at 9:07 pm central time in Lenexa Kansas,that is a state above me,who on earth would they go up there and not straight through to Tulsa? It's about 3hr 45 min away from Tulsa so I'm sure it's on track for tomorrow,it just makes no sense why they drive somewhere out of the way. It's coming by 2 day ground.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
At least urs updated. Mine has been in transit from Memphis since 3pm after it departed. Should have gotten into Houston by now! >.<
[Verizon LG G3] Alien-dx11:
I am in Portland, and mine just arrived at the sorting facility about an hour ago.
[Verizon LG G3] leahg725:
So I have Verizon Edge and I still have to pay off some of my current phone to hit 50% before I can "edge up". I want to know if I walk into best buy tomorrow morning and I want to edge up there, can I? I want to do it there because of their $100 gift card promotion. Or do I have to do it at Verizon?
[Verizon LG G3] hochoch:
Me too! Bought it just to keep unlimited before they stopped allowing upgrades. Been a long but fun couple years with it. Thing barely lasts from my nightstand to my office now. One more day with this old dog.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I'm in OKC and FedEx hasn't updated my shipment since this morning. The good news is that it does say it will be delivered by 10:30 Thursday morning.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
From what I u understand and what my boss has told me at Best Buy, we can't do upgrades for EDGE thru BEAST yet. From what I understood. Buuuuut, it would def be worth a try because you do get that $100 gift card when activating a phone thru installment billing (EDGE, NEXT, Easy Pay). If u would add an EDGE line, then we can def do it that way.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

I'm thinkin that I'm gonna just order mine online tonight on bestbuy.com and do in store pickup (it shows my store is available). Go there, activate it myself, and swap sim cards before I turn on the phone to preserve my unlimited data.
[Verizon LG G3] leahg725:
Well I am not adding an extra line on edge so I can pay this phone AND the lg g3. I don't get that though, because on the best buy website it shows the price of the phone on edge...
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
It's possible that my boss hasn't gotten the memo and maybe we can do upgrades for EDGE thru BEAST. It wouldn't hurt to go up there and check tho man!
[Verizon LG G3] leahg725:
Yeah I am definitely going to go there tomorrow and check that out. If I can't do it there, losing a gift card is not the end of the world. I will just go to a Verizon store.
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
True. I'm gonna try to get it thru out concession line. We get the phone for the price of it in the VZW store, -$100! Mine would be free!
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
That's just how shipping works. They're not gonna ship straight from Verizon's warehouse to your front door. Kansas is the regional distributor for your area. So everything within a certain radius of Lenexa Kansas is collected there, then split up and sent to a more local distribution center, then to your door. It saves way more gas that way even if they went past Tulsa and have to come back. It's the same reason you have connecting flights (typically through Chicago O'hare, or St. Louis Lambert) when flying across the US.
[Verizon LG G3] tkmcguire1:
I'm actually in Stillwater,OK,Tulsa is the main hub it goes to before it comes here. I just didn't understand why they went up to Lenexa Kansas,but who knows. My delivery time says by 7/17 12:00 am,but that doesn't make sense,I assume they mean 12:00 pm?

All I know is it better get here tomorrow,I am going crazy without a phone! I am an IT tech and work from home,so I hope I'm not missing any important calls.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

Gotcha,I understand now,I usually have everything shipped overnight and it usually comes straight into Tulsa,then into Stillwater,OK which is where I'm at,but I guess with ground they do things different. Makes more sense now.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Anyone in Houston gotten an update in shipping progress?
[Verizon LG G3] jfwalsh:
circle case

my phone has been in memphis all day, I am in Southern California, but fedex says tomorrow afternoon, so i am hoping for it tomorrow (read: expecting).

so, as for the circle case, I got the one from verizon that was priced at $50, I definitely understand and can see that it does not have wireless charging, but I am confused as to how it will actually operate.

The inside cover is just plastic, no felt or anything like that. I cant see any magnets to speak of to keep the cover closed, and the inside circle appears to just be plastic, not something that is going to lightup.

will this thing work at all like it is shown on the lg commercials?

anyone try it yet?
[Verizon LG G3] Erickson00:
Hi all...take a deep breath and relax! Your new phone will arrive soon. Why are people obsessing over tracking it? If it comes Friday instead of tomorrow, what difference does it really make?

This was my first pre-order. I have always bought from a retail store, and have never been with a carrier other than Sprint. After 13 years, I can't wait any longer for a 4G network, so I am switching to Verizon. I hope I made the right choice. I am coming from an HTC EVO 4G LTE, and had the original EVO prior to that. I LOVE HTC but felt like trying something different. I am concerned about build quality, LTE reception, battery life, and vetting fingerprints all over the camera lens while I fumble around for the volume rocker.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
In Houston ordered on 7/10 n my order hasn't even shipped. It tells me still pending :(
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
It was the same for me but after quite a few calls they managed to get my tracking. Make sure you aren't pending any agreements. Once I didn't agree and the email went to spam. Had to reorder that time because it cancels the order.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Yea I've called them several times. Most times they can't find my order and when they do they say it's not suppose to ship bro the 17th because it's a pre-order so I will have to call again tomorrow because I'm sure it still want ship. Haven't canceled because I'm not letting them stiff me with not giving me the free watch offer my order has.
[Verizon LG G3] joonam46:
Will the premium retailer store have the g3 tomorrow or only in corporate stores?
[Verizon LG G3] easyfame:
Best Buy gets them in tomorrow but I'm not sure if its for everyone or only pre-orders.

Worth a shot though!

box weight

Has anyone who bought the phone and watch bundle have the weight of their box?
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
There still is glass covering the entire front on all of them, and probably all smartphones these days.

The verizon screen protector doesn't seem to cover the glass above the speaker though. Some on Amazon do, some don't.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
A day does make a difference for some. I'd say it's more excitement than obsessing for most.

The second part is yes you made the right decision. I have the g2 and I don't get my camera lens fingerprinted up. Not one phone is perfect but from where you came from and where you're headed you may be obsessing over your next pre order :p
[Verizon LG G3] tyrelsackett:
It says 2 pounds on Fed Ex.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
Obsessing yes man. I've had several pre orders and countless android devices/phones. I want my phone on release date or before. Look at my name I seriously I do this as a hobby. This just isn't my phone this a hobby for me so yes it's a big deal and yes i obsess over this stuff. You know the sports commercials that say we live for this? Well this is it for us nuts haha
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Was your watch bundle free or?
[Verizon LG G3] tkmcguire1:
It's very important to me,I sold my other phone and shipped it on Monday,so I am without a phone. I work as an IT tech from home so yes I need my phone,and one extra day makes a big difference to me.
[Verizon LG G3] tyrelsackett:
It said it was free, but I don't actually know if if it actually included until it is delivered tomorrow.
[Verizon LG G3] particleman14:
anyone received theirs yet?
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Yours sounds promising because of the weight. I called and they said mine is coming with the phone but my weight is lighter than yours. I called because the items listed was the phone and SIM. They said it should be in the box. We'll find out tomorrow. :)

---------- Post added 17th July 2014 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 16th July 2014 at 11:54 PM ----------

Yes a few people have.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
don't mean to discourage you, but my package (phone only) is also 2lb. of course that only means your free g-watch is very light. :)
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
My box along with someone else's is only 1.1 pnds. So I guess my question with the weight was a bust..lol..oh well
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
In my experience they use standard weight amount unless the items call for a big box and in turn they increase the weight size. A phone and watch can very well fit in the box weighing 2 pounds :)
[Verizon LG G3] mrlaigle:
Add a new line for 10 a month and g et thr phone at 2 yr price the activate a basic phone om that line. Simple.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
Oh wow, thanks for the detailed explanation :good: :). Hmmn i'll have to see the white/pearl one in person now. Yeah i don't like the black front either on the grey model. I think the white chin looks fine with the black contrast; kind of an Oreo/Stormtrooper look if you will.

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

it looks like a huge G2...with the all black front. I wish Verizon had done the grey chin in the front, that would have been nice. I wonder if Verizon will get the gold color eventually.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
It's d day people!! c'mon FedEx!!
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
Heck yeah it is! I even decided to work from home today in order to be here right when FedEx gets here! I am excited! :highfive:
[Verizon LG G3] MustafaHadaKing:
can someone who gets their phone, post the system dump? It would give me a head start on making the rom before my phone arrives. (might be a few days)

Thanks

Haha I sent mine to work address!!!

Awesome man good luck

Anybody rooted Verizon one yet?
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I asked the VZW rep when I ordered my G3 if there was a special "bundle" price with the GWatch. She told me that there wasn't. I would definitely take it for a spin if it was free!
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I am also working from home today, but I have a client meeting at their facility from 12-3 which is when the phone will get delivered I am sure.

On FedEx vehicle for delivery

I am still trying to get the discount on the g watch, so want the moto 360 though
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
my delivery changed from by 4:30 to by 8:00pm today I have to coach my kids soccer at 6 tonight. I will throw the biggest baby fit a 31yr old man has ever thrown if 5:45 rolls around and I do not have a new phone in my hands lol.
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
That just sounds like really poor planning in your part lol. Should have waited one more week to sell your old phone.
[Verizon LG G3] b00sted:
haha yeah that is not the greatest plan. what have you done for the last few days just told all the clients to eat butt? I do IT remotely as well and Sold my Note 3 two weeks ago but been using a old phone as a temp phone at least to be able to manage clients until my phone comes in.
[Verizon LG G3] s1nglebarrell:
FedEx just delivered!! Unboxing to begin
[Verizon LG G3] SJUnion:
I did the same thing he did, but I don't need my phone for work. Its just my personal phone and toy :laugh:. So its been an interesting experiment in not having my glowing slab to stare at whenever I'm not focused on something else. Honestly, its been a bit of an eye opener.

[Verizon LG G3] ryken229:
Has anyone tried in-store pickup from Best Buy? I pre-ordered it but received an email this morning saying it would be available 'within 30 days'. I called a customer service rep and they said the release might have been delayed. The stores here on the east coast just opened, so I'm hoping some new information will be available soon.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
I am going to go to Best Buy today and see if I can get it while also using my $50 promotional gift card for upgrading my phone. I've heard some were not able to use it but I asked yesterday when I was in there and they said yes so if they say no today I will ask for $50 in accessories.
[Verizon LG G3] boe:
Mine just made it from a FedEx facility 18 miles away at 3PM yesterday to a facility 3 miles away at 7:15 am this morning :) I didn't know FedEx employees had to walk between sort facilities.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I was planning on going to Best Buy today to pick one up. I checked their website earlier today, and when I checked availability, the site said "Available for pick up on July 17th". It now says "Release date not announced". WTF

[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Looks great!

Does anybody know if the fedex delivery needs signature?
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
Yes, they need an indirect signature. I was told that if you're not going to be home but you still want them to leave it, just write a note with the tracking number and your signature and put it where the fedex guy will see it.

[Verizon LG G3] mudsnowh2o:
I would be REALLY pissed if I were one of the ones who pre-ordered a while ago, only to find out they are not coming when VZW orders are already arriving. I was holding out for BB because I prefer dealing with them, but it looks like they have dropped the ball.
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Have mine in hand now and am typing this from it.
[Verizon LG G3] EVOme:
Mine is here!
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
First thing turning it on: "Sorry, we're having trouble activating your phone..." damned VZW.

Also - the QC case that came with it is just a case and nothing more. It's a "snap on folio case". I haven't tried it on yet, but it appears to not replace the back plate. Will be returning this case.
[Verizon LG G3] criscross79:
I pre-ordered from Best Buy last week and asked for in-store pickup.. Got there at 10 am when they opened and guess what?... No one knew what I was talking about.. No Verizon G3s in the store.. They said I would get an email when they arrived, but didn't know when that would be!! :banghead: hopefully it will be later today
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Do you already have a SIM card? If so take out the card already in the phone and replace it with the current one. They could have made it a bit easier to remove the SIM in this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Yep just left BB. No Verizon G3's. They said they just had a UPS truck show up and would call if there were G3's in the shipment. I did not preorder because I wanted to see the white in person first, but I am still annoyed. The BB website for the past week was saying it would be available in store on the 17th.

BB messed up here where I am too. I just called Verizon and thye have plenty of white and black ones in stock. I'm leaving now to get my G3!!
[Verizon LG G3] easyfame:
Man the only reason why I preordered with best buy is because I had a $50 gift card reserved from early February. Now they don't even have them in stock!!:(
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Lucky. I have a $100 BB gift card and they are going to dona cross upgrade for me with another line so I don't lose my unlimited data. I am hitched to the BB horse.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
I will say this so far. I haven't called in to activate it yet. Work keeps getting in my way.

The phone is extremely comfortable in hand. I have small hands and expected this to be my first big phone and would be forced to use 2 hands. I have had no problem with one hand and reaching so far. The weight of it is great and so far I really enjoy the build quality.

The white is spectacular. My first white phone and I feel like it was a great decision.

[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Got my G3, it's excellent if a bit laggy with all the VZW/LG bloatware. Looks like cancelling my preorder turned out to be the right move since now I don't have to wait on a truck delivery.

Anyone want to buy a loki exploited Galaxy S4 for VZW lol
[Verizon LG G3] DCThunder:
Activate the G3 on the basic line (you'll have to add a data plan). Leave it active for a bit. Then re-activate the original phone on the basic line. Wait overnight, and activate the G3 on the unlimited data line. Cancel the data plan on the basic line.

Anyone out there do the BestBuy pre-order with shipping? Order is still "In Process" and BB reps have nothing to say about whether they're even available to ship or have shipped.
