Well my current contract doesn't run out till december and no upgrades till august
I'm sure if you call in you can get em to bump your upgrade date esp if its only like 4 months away.

Is that even possible? To convince the almighty Verizon to give me an early upgrade
yea u can^ keep calling around... someone wants a sell
200 is an excellent deal if its in the condition they say it is and has the beats headphones. It's still a good deal without the headphones.
make sure you verify the esn before purchase.
Its easy to get early upgrades from Verizon if you call them. It has become pretty difficult in store as of late as they all seem to have the same script. Just tell them your current phone is driving you bat **** and you cant take it anymore. Also mention you've tried to wait it out. They will ask you what phone you want, and then they will send you the phone overnight for whatever 2yr price is currently listed on the VZ website. Your upgrade will vanish and your upgrade cycle will restart.
You could always buy the Rezound off contract now and get whatever phone is at the top of the pile in august.
I picked up a GNEX on CL for 275.00 even though I have an upgrade available. It replaced my sons DX2. I'm saving the upgrade for the next great VZ phone, which will save me from a 600-800 dollar off contract price on release day(impulse buyer).
I currently have 5 lines and I try to keep one upgrade available at all times just in case.

I've gotten upgrades 1 year + early. Just depends on who you talk to and what you say. Also factors such as tenure, payment history , ARPU (how much $$ you are worth to VZW) etc etc.
oh wow that could mean I could get the rez for 50 bucks now. I really don't see too may phones popping up other than the one v but even then we've hit a point in hardware where only battery tech may improve over the next year. 1.5ghz dual core and plenty of ram will run sense4.0 easy along with any 3.5 rom.
I've only been with vzw for a year and a half now with a family plan of 3 lines but my phone is my main line of work communication calls emails etc.

They're pushing out Quadcore SoC's already this year. It's nice but totally unecessary, at this point hardware is overpowered. At this point in game it's all about software optimizations. But manufacterer's need to make them cash dollars $$$. Just try calling Verizon when they open up tomorrow and see if you can get your upgrade pushed.

They aren't free. They are subsidized by the 2 year contract Verizon makes you sign. You are paying for the phone in installments. Phew...glad I got that off my chest. Carry on.

Okay, I don't want to come off strong, and this isn't only aimed at you, but I'm tired of seeing posts like this. I understand pointing out the distinction that the phones aren't actually free, but the practicality of the matter is that if you're going to be paying for your phone service whether you upgrade or not, then the phone IS free because it's not costing you any more by upgrading than it is to keep using your old phone. Sure, you're agreeing that you'll be keeping the service for another two years (or pay an early termination fee), but how often do most people switch mobile carriers?
Jeesh.
What you said is absolutely true. If you are going to stay with Verizon anyway, you might as well leverage their NE2 and upgrade deals to get cool phones. I just would like for people to understand that the phones come at a cost. If some great deal comes along where you'd save a bunch of money if you switched, you can't. If you can't afford a smartphone anymore...too bad. You still have to pay for it.
I'll probably mention it again at some point. My apologies in advance.

That's okay! LOL. Thanks for taking my comment in stride.
Actually, there's nothing preventing you from still using some old flip phone and not having the data charges any more, if you decide to change. The contract is only that you keep your phone service. There's no requirement that you keep your level of data plan, or that you even keep using your smart phone at all. You could sell it (they might not like it but they don't actually do anything about it) and use the funds to buy an old flip phone plus have some money left over, unless you keep your old phones (I wouldn't, I'd sell or recycle them for money), then it would be all profit.
Interesting... I was going to buy a Samsung Fascinate from a guy who bought it through Verizon for his kid, and then decided that they didn't really need data. He had already switch out phones. When I ran the ESN it came up bad. So I had him call Verizon and they said he couldn't drop the data plan, so he didn't sell me the plan.
And honestly, that makes sense. Otherwise everyone would grab a $400 phone for some cheap price, then immediately switch to some cheaper phone and sell the expensive one. So I don't think its as simple as you make it sound to drop the data plan.
Hmmm looks like i can only "annual" upgrade at Verizon, if i want the cheap prices i would have to wait till june.
might just get a DInc for 99.99, then do the Verizon trade in on the Eris for 132....or strip it down and use it as a VOIP phone or something for the house.
Do you have the link to the Verizon trade in handy?

FYI, depending on the phone, sometimes http://wsf4.letstalk.com/flipswap/modelselectionpopup.htm gives much more. I checked one phone a couple months ago and it was more than double on one than the other. And it was vice-versa with a different phone I had. Note that I haven't actually used either service yet, so I can't rate them.
I sold them on eBay for much more $$$!

Maybe its one of those things where it depends on who you talk to, or how adamant you are. If you can do really do that, seems like you could really work the system. When phones are brand new to the market, the go for crazy prices.

Probably when a newer and more attractive phone comes out...another month or two would be my guess for the corporate stores to drop the price to 250
You can get a good deal from best buy mobile, amazon, wirefly, etc. If you want to buy the phone from verizon when the price drops other better devices will be out and you're not going to be able to resist them.

Will the entry of Droid 4 have any effect on the RaZr's prices?+ when is the Droid 4 coming anyways?
Also, what is the price in the USA right now? Somewhere it says 299$, somewhere else it says 730$...so how much does it cost?
299$ means only 13k in India, but it is sold for 34k...more than double...i wonder why?

Phones in the US sell at a discount when you sign a two year contract with the service provider it's not like in India. So 300 in contract is the price with contract through Verizon Wireless and 730 is without a contract. Some third party vendors will sell for cheaper though that's how a lot of us got the phone for .01 cent with a contract.

Hmmm...so does that mean you practically pay only the provider & not the manufacturers? I mean what would Motorola earn out of 0.1 Cent?
Anyways, just wanted to know if the 34,000 price tag is valid and when is the price dropping...my birthday comes in less than a month (23 Jan) and this looks like the best gift my lovely granny can give me, so was thinking of how much will it drop to?

Yes that's basically right the providers have contracts with the manufacturers for the phones and the providers usually lose money on the devices when they give them at a discount but they make much more money on the service so it's worth it to lock customers into a two year contract for service. I don't think anyone can really predict the exact moment the price will drop for you especially in India but I mean technology moves so fast these days I'd guess another month or two and you'll see a drop of 3000-5000 or so.

I'm able to upgrade from my Thunderbolt to the Rezound for $99 (I can't seem to stomach the 2-yr contract even at that price!). I like my Thunderbolt but I have the itch to upgrade.... I can probably even sell my Thunderbolt on Ebay and make $100 lol. Anybody coming from a Thunderbolt wishing they stuck with the Thunderbolt and waited for a quad-core?
It's head and shoulders better than the Thunderbolt, but you may as well wait. With only two-year contracts these days it's worth the wait.
I've owned both, and I love my Rezound, but I got it as a replacement. I wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

It was kind of a mess, and it took a week of ****ing up customer service, executive customer service, and some nasty emails. I don't recommend it.
Did you get your TBolt on a one-year contract? That's probably the problem. They told me they pretty much wouldn't give someone who was about to be off-contract a new phone. They eventually did, but it was awful.

I was only able to because a CS agent ****ed up. Or, rather, did their job, and Verizon claimed they ****ed up, and so I appealed to a higher power.
A Verizon CS promised me a Rezound as a replacement, said it was in the mail, blah blah blah. I called a few hours later when I realized I wasn't sure if had included a battery and back in the package. The nice lady I talked to saw the order for the Rezound and no order for a battery and a backplate. So she ordered that and sent it to me.
Two days later I get two packages. One with the Rezound battery backplate and battery, and one with a Thunderbolt. One of those wtf moments. So I called in, asked what happened, and after hours on the phone they finally determined that the original CS agent was not authorized to give me a Rezound, and so the order had been cancelled, and they just sent me another Thunderbolt, all without telling me. All the while they gave me at least three or four different reasons, the first being that they had never ordered me a Rezound in the first place. So I asked the obvious question of, so why did I get a Rezound battery and backplate?
In the end they wouldn't budge. Only a Thunderbolt for me. No Rezound possible, despite them promising one to me.
I was kinda pissed, so I wrote executive CS an email detailing the situation. They called me, sorted the story out, and shipped me a Rezound.
I think the only reason I got a Rezound was because of their enormous series of ****ups. Without that they probably would have given me the same brush off they gave you. Well, they tried to give it to me. I'm not sure you'll have any luck--my situation was pretty particular.
Ironically I have a very similar issue. The customer service rep lied to me and said there is no other 4G HTC that is any better than mine so my option was to downgrade to a 3G HTC or take another Thunderbolt. I said "what about the rezound?". He told me the screen size was bigger on the Rezound so that is not possible. I responded by correcting him about the size. He said, "Ok fine, I will try to ship you the Rezound and you may have it by Tuesday but it will probably get denied. I will call you tomorrow if that happens". Sure enough, I was on the phone with his supervisor the next day because he never called me (shocker). They basically told me to pound sand in nice words. Eh whatever...

That's weird to me. Because if you're able to upgrade then your contract is coming close to being up and you would be free to go to another carrier. A long time ago on Sprint or Cingular my phone broke when my contract was over and they said they didn't want to give me one for free (I had no insurance or anything) but at the same time they were unable to diagnose what the problem was since it couldn't turn on. So I told them if you can't tell me what's wrong with it and you won't replace it I'll just go get a free phone from another carrier. Within 5 minutes they were giving me a phone. They offered me a particular one and I asked about a different one that was the same price and they let me have that. This was in flip phone days, still it was $100 price on phone.

I'm able to cancel in June... Verizon allows you to upgrade 4 months ahead of contract renewal.
It probably depends on your usage habits. My wife has a year left with the TB, but it's a great phone for her. The Rezound screen and camera are leaps and bounds better, but the battery life and overheating issues make me hesitant to say its a substantially better device.
If you are a power user who will really appreciate the screen and speed, upgrade. Otherwise wait for the next batch of phones that we're sure to see late summer or so. May as well stay on the cutting edge if you have the option!

Don't take this as a wiseass commnent or anything but...Doesn't the Rezound have GSM hardware? When (other than the iPhone) has a manufacturer retrofitted a phone to work on Verizon?
From my experience and other's, they will pretty much only bulge ONLY if you are still a year or so ahead from the contract being done. People where able to upgrade from a Droid Charge to other 4G devices, same with the Bionic. Im getting my wife her 3rd Droid Charge replacement, it keeps dropping 4G like there's no tomorrow whereas my Rezound is perfectly fine. One more complaint and they guranteed me a different 4G phone.
From reading a bunch of other similar posts like mine, I think I'm gonna make the jump. @ $99 for such a powerful device, I'd probably be crazy for passing it up when it very recently came out

that's because the devs give us more than htc or verizon ever could. once this phone gets aosp it will pretty much trump any other verizon phone. that's unless the htc one ends up coming?
50.00!!! This is the phone I have been waiting for... and thats a hella good price!
I gotta come up with 50.00 fast!

im thinking alot more gnexus devs will now pick up this device.
im wondering if verizon will pick up a htc one variant or the galaxy s 3?
This makes me want to club a baby seal. I guess that's the price you pay for get stuff on launch day.

I paid $199 for mine at the end of January and I still feel the same way...
i got mine for free but no beats earbuds.
Mine are still in the box.
Holy ****. Yeah, I paid $300 to get mine in December. I honestly don't think I could have gone these past 5 months on my old Eris though... so i'm happy with the Rezound as a device but geez dude, $50?!! Thats totally nuts for this phone. Damn I wish I could buy another at that price just in case my current one takes a **** in a year.

there going for pretty cheap on craigslist too.
verizons a bunch of assholes. they screw over indirect stores all the time with their dumbass price changes.
we had a bunch of rezounds bought at our 299 price point. then, verizon decides to drop the phone to 199, and 99 for new activation.....clearly, we can't match that, because even on the top tiered plan, we'd lose money...so we had to still sell at 299 for months.
then, i say f it, i drop the price to 250, get rid of the last one we bought for the 299 price point (taking a loss, but not that bad of a loss), and then we bought a few more at the 199 price point because hey, every other 4g phone that's high specc'ed is 199, so we should be fine.
now this bull****? seriously verizon? if i sell it at 99, i will, YET AGAIN, lose money for each damn phone sold. i absolutely cannot stand verizon.

YUP I feel for ya. Its pretty clear - has been for awhile now - that Verizon wishes the Rezound didn't happen, and just wants to get rid of any remaining units in stock. The reason for why Verizon or HTC would allow such an amazing phone to be treated this way is kinda making me go crazy. It just doesn't make any sense.
Also, you know that Verizon itself is losing money when they sell a $650 device for $99 or $49 too.. the numbers simply don't add up to profit. The difference is, Verizon itself can probably eat the cost without thinking about it, whereas non-corporate stores most likely cannot eat that kind of loss without it hurting pretty bad. Still, makes you wonder why Verizon would rather lose money on a great phone, rather than market it better and keep the price up.
I know when I bought my m7 back in August or so, I only paid $115 with a new, 2 year contract. But, If I remember correctly, some time before that they were super cheap with a new 2 year contract?
Does anyone know about how many months after launch these things usually happen?

Some private phone resellers or retailers have their own instore offers and promotions. But when I went to the Verizon Store to get the HTC Dot View case they had a Buy one M8 get one M8 free offer for 2 year extensions and new contracts, if I'm not mistaken,,,
Yeah, I saw that and I'm wishing AT&T had that as well. But, I only need it for one line. I'd be paying for a line that would never be used lol
Anyone else perturbed that AT&T still doesn't have a carrier discount yet?
AT&T is doing the next [email protected] for $0....

Eh, I'd rather not pay $24-$32 a month for the phone. I'd rather just pay the $200(or less I hope) and stay in my 2 year contract lol
Thanks, though!

I just got rid of my unlimited. Mobile share isn't bad. Especially since they throttle your data at 5 GB anyways. You can't tether or Hotspot (you can, but if they catch you they add a fee like they did with me) so I just switched. Paying less, although I have a data limit now it was a good deal. I never thought I would dump it

I have two lines with unlimited and is probably the only reason i have not switch. I honestly never even use 3GB of data since i am constantly on wifi. My data gets used for quick search when out and about and google maps directions. Thats pretty much it. Stream some gogole music when running. Not that much really.
I am considering on changing my family plan to shared since none of us really use that much. I have only went over 5GB one time because the wifi at work was down and i saw a netflix movie, also strange for me to do.
I will look into it. did you also jump to the NEXT program?
