Thunderbolt or charge, revolution is ewww imo.

Why? The Revolution seems to be a much better phone than either the TB or Charge.

Comes with an unlocked bootloader and a pretty nice UI.

Lots of RAM, decent camera, and better benchmarks than the TB and Charge.

The Bing seems unobtrusive and can be replaced with Google search from the market..

Does Amazon Wireless have that rule where if you buy a phone from them you can't make changes to your phone/plan for 6 months?

I'm looking around and I can't seem to find that they do.

I almost bought a phone from Amazon and wanted to have them switch it from the phonethat was eligible to the phone that was not ( something Verizon does willingly).Amazon said they could not do that so i told them I would have Verizon switch it for me once I received the phone. Amazon told me i had to wait 6 months or i would have to play a penalty. I explained that I could find no where in their terms where it said that. Needless to say, Verizon told me i could always switch phones within my plan and they couldn't understand how Amazon would even know whether i did or not. With more research, I found out that the 3rd party resellers track the esn #'s to determine if the phone switched to different #. I wasnt going to chance it.

Ahhh, they finally put it in writing! At the time I talked to them, it wasn't and I almost made the purchase with the intention of switching phones but luckily talked to them before. The rep and I looked to find where Amazon disclosed it and it was nowhere to be found, although he insisted it would happen. Told them then that they needed to put that in the agreement.

Best buy

Last time I tried an early upgrade from a 3rd party source (best buy) they told me that even though vzw showed the discounted prices their computers (best buy's) do not show those who are elligible for early upgrades and wont be able to give the discounted price.

Does anyone know if it will be free if I add a new line to my family plan?

Here is my situation, I've got a BB storm that is available for an upgrade. It is the Primary line on a family plan that has 3 other phones on it. None of those are up for an upgrade until Nov. at the earliest.

I'd like to take advantage of the free phone deal, but don't want another contract as the one I have has an employee discount.

I can get the Revolution at verizon.com for $149. Would adding a line and transferring my main number to the new phone be cheaper than the $149?

Is there any other way around this?

Sounds like upgrading your line via any method (including Amazon) would be your best monetary deal. If you add another line, you'll have to pay another $10/month for it.

Just checked the Amazon program, early upgrade is not eligible for the special promotion, it has to be a full upgrade.

Where did you see this? I've been eligible for a new device since March. Does that mean I'm early upgrade or full?

 

[Trenton]

after your 2 year contract is up its a full upgrade....an early upgrade would be like 18 months in or something like that

 

[cujo6801]
