Agree, being left in the dark is not fun, but alas, there is a silver lining! Now you get the phone sooner, and for the almost $150 cheaper than the nearest competitor! Sometimes they just need a little time to get things right, instead of rushing the details and price point like the other carriors. Don't forget to pick up your free pair of headphones and take advantage of whatever other promotions Verizon has cooked up.

NoNoBadDog, First of all, thank you for your service. Secondly, I can actually be quite reasonable when I want to . I actually agree with the sentiments you've expressed above, but you must not come across the same as the people you despise in order for that viewpoint to hold any weight, because that's all I saw from your earlier posts on this thread. To be honest, the thing that really got me involved was the irony regarding the continued "the other carriors already have it remarks, and the difference between "they already have it" and "they have already announced it." Because that is literally a statement that "has no basis in reality." A threat to switch carriors holds no weight unless the other carriors actually have what you want. Att could have announced a year ago that they're releasing the LG V20 on October 27th, but that does not constitute "having it." The article you discounted that stated that Verizon beat the other carriors to the punch is literally valid because Verizon customers actually get their hands on it sooner, which is literally all that matters in this case. I hope you can see the humor in that as I did

LOL! This thread never ceases to amuse me. Just another one of those types that can never be wrong. Probably a spoiled kid growing up, used to getting everything they want on a platter... I just checked and the question is only "assumed answered", even after hearing it from Verizon himself. I bet you he will literally order the phone, wait until it arrives to his doorstep, take it to the verizon store to have them authenticate that it is the real deal, while they are under oath and hooked up to a polygraph before he concedes that the information was true.

NoNoBadDog, I can tell you've done a lot of research on this topic, but let me clarify a few things for you. I am a little confused about how you repeatedly say that ATT, Sprint, and T-Mobile have offered this phone already, because that simply is *NOT* true. Yes, they may have announced the release date before Verizon, but the phone is *NOT* available on *ANY* of those carriors. In fact, you *CAN'T* even preorder the phone on Sprint until the 21st (after verizon), T-Mobile *JUST* opened preorders *TODAY* and ATT only recently opened their preorders, so *PLEASE* stop spreading this bogus information. Because, the truth is, the phone is going to be available to Verizon customers *SOONER* or at the very least, the same time, as the other carriors. Also, we're in the united States, so let's not bring up the completely useless and irrelevant information about the phone being available overseas (unless you plan on moving there because verizon too too long to announce the phone, hahhahahaa). Secondly, if you are looking for information about non released devices, the store representatives are the *LAST* people to know about that. They don't get information on new things until a a few days before the release *AT BEST* The representatives on the phone are also among the last to know as well, so I must remind you to be patient in the future. This is nothing new for carriors to keep us in the dark about new devices, but it does not mean they aren't working on things in the background. You expressed concern that there would not be enough time to prepare signage, Point of sale information, etc. Let me assure you that the people in charge of this are *NOT* the CS reps that know nothing of the new devices, and it does *NOT* take 3 months. For the record, I'm not even interested in the V20, but I couldn't resist clarifying these things for you as your arrogance... Err.. I mean ignorance.... Err, I mean confusion was too much to pass up.

NoNoBadDog, you asked a question and it is beginning to sound like you don't want to hear the answer. Before you discount everyone else's responses, why don't you call (call again, not go off of information you were told a week ago) and talk to Verizon yourself since you obviously have to hear it from an "official" source. How about this one? LG V20 Verizon™ Deals Are Coming Soon | LG USA It doesn't provide an exact date, but says the promotion runs through 11/20. Its obviously going to run for some time before that date, which makes October 20th/21st sound real promising for at least a preorder announcement...Do you still think the phone is going to come out in January? I fully believe you when you say that the information was not available when you talked to "channel" (whatever that is). But from the sound of it, apparently that information is available now. Do you really think that Verizon is going to offer you information for devices 90 days out? Devices not yet announced publicly? What a joke. At the very least, be patient enough to wait until the device is even available on the other carriers before complaining. What are you going to do? Switch carriors now and be without a phone for 2 weeks while you wait for your preorder to arrive? You act like it's already available.....
