Given Costco's step-up policy, I think they know they're gonna replace most of these for the Prime really soon...

The Costco bundle is pretty tempting. I would probably end up buying both docks separately anyway.

I'm not a Costco customer. What is their step up policy?

 

[s44]

30 days for return for full refund, 90 days to exchange for different phone on same carrier (you pay the price difference, of course).

looks like I missed it on amazon. backordered and $250 now

I still really like my HTC Incredible. I'm considering using my upgrade and just selling the Bionic on Ebay...

...then by the Prime/ICS phone with that profit?

then just wait until I really want something new I guess. Probably won't want to wait two years or whenever I can upgrade again, but maybe it's not worth it, idk. I hate letting the upgrade sit there though

I've been sitting on mine since July. It sucks. I was really hoping SG II would come to Verizon. I essentially assumed it would with the possibility of 3G only. I can't decide if enough is enough and just get the Bionic. I think if I opt to hold out it will be 2+ months before anything else hits.

 

[slayer202]

yeah it's tough. and if I buy the Bionic to resell, I'll probably be stuck having to buy my next phone on the secondary market, which eliminates any protection that you would get from buying from verizon or amazon etc.

bahhh

I went ahead and bought it from Costco today, was a great deal since Costco only charges tax on the $300 not on the $549 retail and you ended up with the GPS dock, car charger, spare battery and battery charger, 2 charging cables and a belt holster.

Just a quick warning for those looking to buy now and exchange later for the Prime, I was told you can only exchange within 30 days, the 90 days is their warranty.

I'm also pretty tempted. How's the battery life?

I think they are lying to you.

If I do not like my phone, can I exchange my phone for another phone?

To exchange your purchase, please contact our customer service team. Please do not bring your purchase to a Costco warehouse. Costco.com's exchange policy for cellular phones is 90 days from date of purchase. During the exchange process you will be charged the full retail price for your replacement phone until we receive your original purchase back. Upon receipt and processing of your original device we will refund the full price of your replacement phone.

That might not apply in store. I know some companies have different policies online and in store.

True, I do think it says to not take it back to the store, but to contact their customer service line.

Yeah, found it

Yeah that makes sense. I would assume that reduces the number of people exchanging phones past the in store return. Not many people would want to front the full price until they get their old phone returned.
