I always have the new every two and get a phone after one year and get discount, it might not be free but still discount. Just paid $150 for the fascinate after one year. I been doing this for past 6 years and getting partial discount, I can never wait the 20-22 month for full discount have to have new product when they come out.

So just to make sure I am clear, and if someone who is in the know can answer, not someone just taking a guess or assuming... So Last April when I hit the 12 month mark on my 2 year contract, I upgraded to the Motorola Droid at the Upgrade price (Paid $29.99 for it at Best Buy) So the program that allowed us to upgrade at the 1 year mark at the discount price, Are they doing away with that for exsisting customers who are eligible this year but after the Jan 16th date they are giving? I upgraded to the Droid in April of 2010 so I was planning on upgrading again this April, so now will I have to wait until the total end of my contract or are they allowing is one more upgrade if we are exisiting customers?

 

I would think with the Iphone just weeks away, they would do what AT&T did when the Iphone 4 launced which allowed all thier customers who were allowed a upgrade in 2010 were able to upgrade at any time in that year. Why would Verizon want to keep the new Iphone 4 out of the hands of existing customers and now make it where we have to wait a whole extra year??

 

I guess my main question is can we still do the annual upgrade if we are eligible in April like I am or since its after the Jan 16h date, do I loose that choice now?

It looks like you'll be able to use your annual upgrade this year but that'll be the last one you get.

I'm a bit confused.  I'm currently under contract....still within my first year of the contract.  I know I will have 1 more NE2 available when it comes time that I can use it.  However, the "annual upgrade" part is what is confusing me.  I obviously will not hit the 13th month mark until after January 16.  Does that mean I will now lose the ability to do the annual upgrade ability when I hit my 13th month or will I be able to do it one last time when it comes up?

I like the Bionic best too,  but it won't pay for me to upgrade until we get LTE service here in Hawaii.  Right now it's only at the Honolulu Airport and I'm 15-20 miles away from it.  I'm hoping Hawaii get LTE coverage sometime late this year.

Is this true? I last upgraded November 2010, so would I be eligible for a 1 year upgrade next month? The verizon wireless site shows I'm not eligible until July 2012 currently...but if this is true that I can still upgrade in a month using the old annual program one last time, I may do it, how do I get them to honor that? I'm still on a plan that costs enough to qualify for annual upgrade.
