Verizon sales reps will try to sell you the phone for $370.00 minus $70 rebate. They'll do this because they are trying to trick you into buying a $50.00 bundle of accessories for the phone. All the sales reps do it and the phone will even be advertised for that price in the store. Read the fine print and it will show the phone for $249 after $70 rebate. Just a tip to save you all some money

If I remember correctly, its a Car lighter adapter, Lambskin leather case, and a plantronics MX150 or Jabra EarWave headsets, depending on the bundles.

I know those headsets themselves go about $24-29 each, the Case usually goes for $19.99 and the adapter is $29.99. They been switching up the headsets though depending on the phone. I don't know specifically for this phone.

They sell you a big bag of crap anyways: car charger, wireless headset, cheap leather case. Sorry, but I already have that from my last Motorola, and I also would be able to buy it cheaper from Ebay.

Yeah it is ashame that Moto has kept the same car charger for so long. It is about time that they change there charging port. Not only is it a poor design, but so many people already own the chargers that it is hard to sell them a new one when you sell the phones. Hopefully on the next model things will be different, I cannot beleive that Moto does not see the fact that they are loosing out on a lot of revenue.

well if they keep the same charger for the phones, and you already own a motorola phone, you're probably a little more likely to buy a motorola, than something else, all things being equal...

Man anyone who buys a phone just because they happen to have a car charger that wil work with it is an idiot. Buy the phone you want. And if you need new accessories than so be it.

Problems? Really? Who's your Motorola contact? Tell me what problems that the phone still has? Don't you think that if there were more problems with the phone the Aug 11 release date would have not come to fruition? I think your info is all BS. 🙄 I checked the WDTS OLR, I checked Equip Guide and the Wireless Devices intranet site. I didn'...

Yeah you are really saving them money. I really hate getting 80.00 of accessories for 50.00, that sucks. Of course I know someone is gonna say I can buy it off of the internet, but who is going to back warranty than. We back the warranty on all our products in the store, non of this contact the manufacturer BS. Go to the store and get it replaced, DONE.

$80 of accessories?

Buy them on ebay for 25$ shipped.... you can buy them 3 times and still be ahead.....

Don't defend Verizon's asshatterie just because you work there, it's shameful.

One would think that an accessory such as a car charger would not break, but we see tons of them come back to the store and replaced under the warrant every day. I have personally never broken one, but I would say at least 40% of people break there VPC.
