Pricing

The pricing is just jaw dropping(IMO)! $299.99? I hope they go down a little more. I can't see why it would be more than $250.

Maybe they think since you can afford verizon service you can afford to pay 300 dollars for a phone. If i was with verizon i would wait for them to expand the lte network and wait for the ridiculous price to come down.

It will eventually go down. with supply and demand, it just may take a few months.

Am I the only one who remembers an age when $300 smartphones were common? Guess so... but it's ironic - I find the same people who whine about phone prices are the s...

Without utilizing dual-core, it's not close to being worth it.

Quite a few dual-core smartphones have been released on other networks already, and with Verizon scheduled to have the Motorola Droid Bionic added to its lineup soon, the Droid Charge isn't worth it at all. At this point, who's really willing to pay $299 for a single core smartphone? The Thunderbolt wasn't even priced as high at launch, and it's just as good a device. The Super AMOLED Plus display will be gorgeous, no doubt, but what good is it going to be if you don't have the power to really push it? This device is going to fail.

Absolutely.

Maybe... I would not touch this thing or a Motorola for that price.

questions.

The specs say, LTE. Does not say, 3G, evdo... Ect. So will this phone only run on 4g?

SD card? What size? Included?

you.CAN.hear.me.now

ALL vzw 4G phones will run 3G as well.

As for SD card, do you want preinstalled or max capacity?

Keep in mind this phone was just announced, so it may take a while for the full specs to filter down.
