The 8X will be a placeholder until I can hear more about the VZW ATIV device... I enjoy the form factor of my GS3 and I'm worried about the drop down to the 8X 4.3" screen, but who knows.

At least Angry Birds Star Wars is out today to keep my mind off the wait....

So if I got the 8X and received it next week how would I be able to get the Ativ when it comes out?

[thatotherdude24]

Mine is just an email from our corporate rep and even if I did take screen cap of that, it doesn't prove anything, I could easily make it up.

Either way, I'm not all in until I see it in our VEC. Verizon has already pushed it back one day so even if they are telling me tomorrow is the day, who knows, something could come up again. If I can break away from Halo 4 at midnight tonight, I'll check it out and post a shot of that, but if it is in the VEC, it'll probably be on the consumer side to.

Would you still mind posting a screen shot please?

Well, our corporate contract has a 30 day return, is that not what consumer lines still have? I'm hoping for some info about it before my return window closes then i can decide.

But wouldn't it cost me more than it's worth? Wouldn't I have to pay restocking?

I really don't know on the consumer side how it works. I'm a little mad that there isn't a ATIV option at launch because I was excited about the bigger, removable, battery and expanded storage. I'm a device gigolo, i bounce around from device to device all the time as part of my job... Android, iPhone, and even Blackberry every so often... I've been looking forward to WP8 as a device I will use long term since I already have a Zune/XBox music pass and stuff. Need MOAR storage! :)

Now that I think about it, I think Verizon shortened the return window for consumers to 14 days, which blows. I don't think there is a restocking fee, but i think you pay for the data/voice plan that you used during that time. I don't know. Some Verizon person will have to chime in. That Sammy ATIV device could be a midrange device too, who knows.

My Trophy on Verizon does. I'd imagine the WP8 phones would too.

Your Trophy does voice and data at the same time?! Mine certainly does not.

This is a general question for anybody who knows. I was up for renewAl with Verizon on the 8th so does that mean I am eligible to switch carriers now? On my account it says my contract end date is in February. Or can I switch now?

Thanks for the help

You can switch now and pay the ETF or switch in February for no penalty

If your contract isn't up until Feb, you'll have to pay the pro-rated ETF to switch now.

Just double checked. Guess I can on wifi but not 3G. I'm on wifi so many places I didn't make the connection. You're correct though, I don't seem to be able to access data and voice at the same time.

Did I over look it or is there no shipping date in that article?

Actually, I just confirmed that Best Buy has a 30 day return policy on just about everything, even mobile phones (I'm pretty sure I've done that before anyways).

I may just buy the 822 off contract there (with a price match as someone else has suggested can be done) and wait it out to hear more about the ATIV Odessy.

Anyone that works at VZW -

Do you know if the HTC 8X is listed as an "iconic" device? Talked to sales yesterday, she was pushing the 8x hard on me... but she said that iconic devices like the galaxy nexus, galaxy s3 and the iphone are not abled to be billed to the account. I have always billed the hardware to my account and everything. just easier for me and my place of business. if they dont let me bill to the account, might be a problem for me. Thanks in advance for any info.

I have 135+ Phones on the Verizon Network. HTC 8X will ship on the 15th at Midnight.

Verizon usually has overnight shipping too

Called VZW sales again. Guy I talked to was very helpful . Said bill to account was available and that if the phone was shipping by the 13th, then you should be able to order it on the 13th. Said plenty of phones will be available, so don't worry about preordering.

[kpxstar9]

It'll ship by the 13th with 2 day shipping to be delivered on the 15th i.e. launch day
