How are you purchasing you Droid Incredible?

[andrew53517]

So how are you purchasing it?! I have a Droid currently and I'm still in my contract, so I am going to have to pay for full retail price.. Is there anyone else joining me?!

Full retain = $500 - $600
2 year contract price = (most likely) $199

 

[emmur0]

I'm in for full retail. Can't wait.

NE2 Effective today... probably gonna try for Wirefly or something though for lower price

 

[gavin77]

In a contract as well.....probably just going to add a line, and get the phone for the promotional pricing. Then I might cancel my number and pay the $150 termination fee. Or just pay the $8 extra a month with my HCA discount. So $199 and $8 extra a month, or $199 plus the $150 termination fee.....either way it's cheaper than paying $599 outright.

Ya wirefly might help as well!

well, I'm up for an annual upgrade now, but still a few months away from my NE2, so i don't know exactly what my price will be, but I'm guessing around 230. I forgot how the annual upgrade works exactly.

 

[phobic]

Full retail price on month-to-month. I hate contracts.

 

[Mandrew]

I think I'm going 1-year contract because this will be my first Verizon phone. Hopefully it's $280ish like the Droid.

 

[macroweb]

I'm still undecided, I have an old v-cast contract that gives me unlimited data for $15/month. I think they will force me to a new contract at $30/month if I go NE2, which at $599 vs. 2 years is close in over all costs. But I will need to make sure I don't have other savings going on in my current contract.

What is NE2?

 

[macroweb]

NE2 = New every two (years)

NE2 = New every two (years)

Is this what you call when you are eligible for an upgrade even though your 2-year contract has not actually expired?

My G/F is already eligible for an upgrade but her two year contract actually expires July 7th, 2010.

Yeah I keep reading on here that you can actually do it at 20 months instead of 24 months.

 

[GNS1310]

My NE2 is July 12th, but I'll be grabbing the DI the day it comes out.

 

[LiQUiDBuD]

I'll be using my wife's NE2 for my Incredible unless I can get them to let me upgrade my phone and in exchange extend my current contract an additional 2 years.

Does anyone know if that's possible?

My guess is no because her phone subsidy has been paid for and mine hasn't. I got a Samsung Rogue for my NE2 back in October and I despise how useless this phone is concerning anything web-related and there are zero apps available.

 

[webflunkie]

My contract is not up yet but will be within 2 weeks of the Droid Incredible being released.

 

[MathewS81]

That's exactly how it works. My 2-year contract ends on August 29th but I'm NE2 eligible on April 29th (Incredible coincidence ).

 

[emmur0]

The last two years I've been able to extend my contract and get the two year pricing. I did it in 2008 and 2009. The last time I upgraded was in Aug 2009, so we'll see if they can pull any strings for me. I also heard that if you have a family plan the account holder can upgrade once per year for an extra $20. Don't know if that's true.

 

[kyler13]

I'm well overdue for a new phone. Going with a 2-year contract renewal so I can use my NE2 credit. Will probably utilize the annual upgrade option next year if some 4G handsets get released. Can't go wrong!

 

[rmd1066]

This NE2 upgrade is burning a hole in my pocket. Been waiting since January to get a new phone and now we are a mere two weeks away.

 

[Vihzel]

Aww there's no option for someone like me where I'm in a family plan still and using my mom's NE2 because she never uses it unless she is forced to.

Early termination fee is $350.00-$375.00 I thought?

 

[QrafTee]

1 or 2 year contract; still haven't decided. Maybe 2 so LTE phones can be matured by then.

 

[Kyreba]

My NE2 has been up for over a year. So I'm more than ripe for an upgrade!

 

[VGPOP]

So for the record, how much will you be paying for the Incredible with NE2 discount? Do you all also have a -$100 online discount if you purchase online?

 

[phobic]

Yep, early termination fee is $350 on smartphone plans.
