I'd say hang in there my friend. You'll love making the move to WP from BB. This wait does suck, but hopefully it will be worth it!If this phone had been released around Thanksgiving or Christmas I would have jumped on it, now I am considering staying with BlackBerry and getting the Z30. I was ready to make a jump to WP since I have the Surface Pro, but now, not so much...
Knowing Verizon, they'll probably release it on March 5th so it will be after the new Galaxy is released. Then they can cite poor sales of it versus the new Galaxy, and claim nobody really wants a WP device.
They had some 822 refurbs up yesterday but they disappeared quick.
Well look at that, you're right! I guess they get them in batches until they sell out, then take the page down again. But $239.99 for month-to-month no contract for a refurb????? No thanks!

I think it'll be released on Friturday the 32nd of Septambuary.

I made the change last month (Z10 to 928). I've been a BB fan for years and still believe in them but since my company went Office 365 it pushed me to WP. I also have the SP2 and the OneNote integration alone makes it worth it....
Another SP2/928 owner here. Agree that OneNote is great.
I bought my current 822 as a refurb on eBay for $75. It was a great purchase! It's going to have to last me until the ICON comes out.
That was smart of you. I can't say it enough, I've had my 822 from the first day that it was released and it has been rock solid!I bought my current 822 as a refurb on eBay for $75. It was a great purchase! It's going to have to last me until the ICON comes out.
Wonder if anyone ever ended up ordering one of the ones on sale from that China seller? Figured if you chose the fastest shipping it would probably show up before VZW announces/releases it. Decisions decisions.
Right?! Was thinking the EXACT same thing. Hopefully something turns up soon.Would be nice if one of these guys could at least produce a "hands on" video. Even find someone who speaks English to pull it off... I'm sure if they have the ability to get their hands on a Verizon branded handset they could wrangle a video camera as well.
