Bionic soon, early upgrade possible?

[Pigbearman]

Hello,

Like everybody else, I have been following the Droid Bionic for quite a while now. Also, like most of you with an OG Droid like me, the phone is starting to freeze/crash/do odd things, so getting a new phone is pretty high up on my list of things to do. The thing is, my NE2 discount is due up 10/25/11, and I would love to get the phone when it comes out. So is there a way to upgrade early anymore? My phone is just not cutting it and I don't exactly have the money to buy a full-priced bionic (probably $650+).

TLDR; Phone dying, need a new one, can I upgrade early? Even if it gets rid of my NE2 loyalty discount?

all you can do is call *611 and ask.

Call 611 and ask but they're probably going to give you a resounding no

My upgrade discount became available the beginning of July, but I distinctly remember getting an email from Verizon at the beginning of June, saying that I could upgrade early. I don't know if I was receiving some sort of special treatment, but I was holding out for the Bionic (still am too! grrrr!!) so I didn't take advantage of the early upgrade/contract renewal offer.

I'd ask... what have you got to lose? what have they got to lose? You're going to upgrade eventually, so if I were them I'd prefer to take your money now rather than later.

Yeah. I figured it is damn near the upgrade time anyways so why wouldn't they want to grab my money?

I guess you'd better play the Bionic Arena game 4x a day... and win...

I'm in the same darn boat. My upgrade is on the 12th, but I want the Bionic now.

I plan on giving my wife my newly replaced and well working D2. I'm just impatient :-)

So my answer is pretty much "call, but they probably won't".

Which means stick with my dying OG Droid for another month and a half.... =(

I say you call and ask and when they say no, you say "Okay, well I guess I can handle two cell phones bills for a month while I switch carriers... what's the cheapest plan I can downgrade to for my last month?"

might not help, but it shouldn't hurt either...

You should be able to, but won't get your extra $50 off if you are primary account holder.
