Just noticed that VZW just confirmed the Retail Pricing of the Droid Bionic.

While looking through the new DroidDoes.com site I was reading the Terms and Conditions, and they listed the price:

One (1) winner will win a Motorola Tablet (Approximate Retail Value ("ARV"): $669.99) and a Droid Bionic (ARV: $589.99) (Total ARV for both prizes: $1,259.98);

Now if I could only find the link "Don't have an Android Device" to play this game on my computer, like mentioned in the Terms & Conditions, that would be nice :p
 
I'll be paying full retail price because I'm still under contract and not one of the lucky ones who got an early renewal. The upgrade price of $300 is pretty steep anyway...
 
Is paying $300 for a year that comes with a 2 year contract really worth it when a full retail with no extension of contract and keep an upgrade for later is only $290 more? I guess it also depends how much you could get for your phone on Ebay or Craigslist right now.
 
Bionic at CostCo with all those accessories makes it worthwhile - $160 worth accessories, which means you can easily get your $299.99 back if you sell it online within a month of buying the phone, just throw in the accessories... :D

You'll get another upgrade in 2 years. If you only have one, wait a couple of months and see if the Prime really comes or not.

I have multiple, so....

Is that $160 worth of upgrades......in Verizon pricing or realistic pricing? Verizon wants to charge me $40 for a car power adapter, when I can get a genuine Motorola one on Amazon for $4.99.

Costco has good prices, but I'm generally leery of these "we'll throw in a bunch of accessories" deals.

Retail. I bought my dual USB cigarrette lighter adapter from Griffin for $12 at a local Wal-mart - but the other accessories you'll only get (for now) from Motorola direct, or through VZW and applicable stores selling the phone.

Which means, yeah, you'll still get at least $80 worth of schwag.
