Question about buying phone from Dell and how will VZW handle it...

I would really like to buy a Droid, and right now Dell has it going for $119. But I am NOT eligible for an upgrade right now with VZW; does anyone know or have an educated guess about whether it will be a problem if I buy it from Dell and then activate it? Verizon is always crying about losing money on hardware, so i would think that if I'm extending my contract anyway they wouldn't mind. But I don't want to get stuck paying the difference for the phone if they get mad or something.

Also - my existing plan doesn't come up as an option when checking out at Dell. I don't want to completely chenge plans since I am on family share (with data/email). Anyone been down this road before?

Thanks in advance for any insight...
