But thats kinda hard when no one has verizon slider yet, every rep and person at Verizon says the 9th which is this coming Tuesday.

I dont know where or how but on Enay there is a TRUE Verizon Slider for sale on Ebay. The seller even has pix of the actual phone with Verizon logo and a Verizon Slider box that it comes in, so i guess the phones are out ... somewhere

I just spoke with a friend that works in Verizon corp office and he said that sometimes a few test phones get to the stores before releae date so local techs can get familiar with the phones

I caught that too ... look at the auction title.

If you read the auction and has the actual phone listed. The PICS### are just to get your attention, at least I hope so anyway.

either way I reported this guy to EBAY, hes a scammer he says the phone wont be out until June but if you look at the day his auction over its Tues March 9th the day the phone comes out. Hes trying to get people to think it comes out in a few months so theyll bid on his phone which isnt right to do to people. And the auctions is already at 230 plus 20 shipping and you could walk into a Verizon store the same day youd wint the auction (not even have it at your house) and buy it for 250 straight up even at full retail. Makes it harder for people like us to sell legit on EBAY

That's so cool. I'm emailing VZW about flashing the VM one's for use with VZW. I hope they will do it, and hope it will be free too, with service for VZW.

And what have you downloaded on your new COOL Slider?

Okay, i got the reply and sure enough it said that the phone it not compatible because it is not a cdma mode phone.... Okay. So to show them i'm not a retard i email them back explaining that it IS a CDMA phone and explaining what that meant. I'll keep you all updated.

Posted by: Devilish

HAAH. That was a fuuny reply from VZW. Tell them some people are already using the VM version of the phone on VZW and it is CDMA and works great.

Thanks for keeping us posted Blitz Fist.

Okay they say they will reply within eight hours and it's been like ten and no reply. I bet their faces are red when they realize i wasn't some dummy and showed them what was up. I wonder what the reply will be. We'll just have to wait and see.

Posted by: vermontcellboy

My guess is it will be either nothing, or the canned "This issue requires more issure than this medium of communication can provide..please call us yadda yadda yadda"

Okay i email again and the guy who responded seemed more knowledgeible saying that the phone was able to be flashed because it was not in use by they and it might be too old so i'll just wait until tomorrow when it comes out which is what it obviously was

Just called a few Verizon stores and they have the Slider in stock, they are not allowed to sell them yet though, most likely tomorrow.
