Verizon has finally gone ahead and started the pre-orders for the new LG G3 flagship device today. Verizon was the final of the big four carriers to get the ball rolling. With AT&T set for July 11th, T-Mobile set for July 16th and Sprint falling in line at the end with a July 18th date. On the Verizon front you can get a pre-order placed now for the quadHD display powerhouse with a ship date of July 17th.
Price wise you are looking at $99.99 on a new two-year contract if your pre-order now. The press release stats that price is for a limited time. If you opt for the Verizon EDGE program then you will shell out $29.99 a month until you pay off the full price of the device, which is $599.99.
There are quite a few curious things about the Verizon version though. Like, the massive Verizon logo on the front bezel AND on the center rear. Not like LG doesn’t have their logo in both places also, but seriously, that is a lot of logo action.
Verizon is also offering the LG G Watch too. You can get one ordered online for $229.99 and will be in corporate stores July 17th. Head to the Verizon LG G3 pre-order page and/or the LG Gwatch page and get to spending a little money.
