I got mine on May 31 and agree with an above post, it's the best phone I've ever had. I have had a few freezeups, but only 3 or 4 times. It's done a couple odd things, but I think all phones have the possiblity of quirks. To me my androids were far worse. I never had an ifruit, but I had 3 Thunderbolts and 3 Rezounds in under a year. For many, android and the fruit are it, for me, I'm all in on WP! I bought my black 928 outright and have grandfathered data. I doubt I could get close to the $500 I paid for it and while i"d love to have the 929, I'm good with this phone and will keep it for at least a year. By the way I chose not to do the dev thing to have the updates, I'd rather get them when they're released. I will say that the big V should have had our upgrades before att, who I detest. Remember they had the 920 six months before we could get a 928, that really pissed me off!!!! While Verizon may offer the best service, they are far behind the curve these days!
