Ok so Ive never gotten a phone at a Best Buy before. Always through VZW. Is this only for new customers or can existing customers take advantage of this as well? My other concern is if the "any contract ending in 2010 promotion" includes the early upgrade dates as well? My point being that I can early upgrade in September at promotional pricing anyway so what difference could a few months make. Most people on other forums are saying that it only applies to the end of your 2 year contract. I tried calling Verizon but to their reps this phone doesnt exist legally. They cant talk about it until next week. Or whenever it officially makes it to their website. Which is total BS if you ask me.

this is relevant to my interests. i'm eligible in november, but my contract isn't up until april. i'm pretty sure i'm getting this phone either way though. :/

Contracts go for 24 months, upgrade eligibilty is every 20 months.

Not always the case. Verizon offers yearly upgrades for customers that meet certain requirements. Look it up.

verizon is offering up grade price to anyone who's contract is up this year, so you can do it.

OK once again MY CONTRACT is not up in 2010. HOWEVER I am eligible for EARLY UPGRADE in October. Am I the only one that has ever done this before? Look it up guys. Early upgrade happens after about 10 or 11 months I think. With a few other conditions applying. Anyway I went to Best Buy and ordered the first Droid X at that store. One dude knew nothing about what I was talking about. Another girl did and printed out the official email they got from Verizon. It mentioned nothing about the yearly early upgrade. However she didnt think there would be a problem and went ahead and placed my order. She said if Verizon has a problem with it then they would call me. The problem lies in the fact that nothing on the website notifies you when you are eligible for the yearly upgrade. She told me though that they did, in fact, honor it when the Pre came to Verizon. So I guess we will see.

you're only eligible for the annual upgrade if your call plan is 59.99 a month or up before you add txt data package. i have the 39.99 one so i have to wait the full 20 months. it's kinda like waiting for christmas but it only comes once every two years. and santa robs you 200 dollars. and his brand new verizon phone (which is the phone that gets service at the north poll) falls out of his pocket as he's climbing out the chimney.

to answer your question, if your eligible to upgrade any time in 2010 you will get two year contract pricing with a contract extention and the purchase of a new droid x. so as long as your eligible for upgrade this year your golden, reps and vzw can talk to you about the phone call the sales line 1800 2 join in!

what if i just want a one year contract, do you think that'd still fly?

Yes, you would just pay for the 1 year upgrade price instead of 2 year upgraded pricing, I believe it generally adds $75 to the cost of the phone, which isn't a bad trade-off for an earlier upgrade date.

i actually work in best buy mobile and no you are not able to do the Verizon Yearly upgrades at best buy. i have heard that Verizon is mirroring what at&t did with allowing customers that are eligible to upgrade any time in 2010 to go ahead and upgrade into the Droid X on launch day but not sure if that is official, haven't heard from our Verizon rep yet.

I ordered mine today from Best Buy. They said it was up to Verizon though i guess. I dont see a problem in it. I would just walk in a VZW store in October when my early upgrade was due and get it anyway. If it doesnt get approved by VZW its pretty gay. I dont gain anything or pull a fast one on them at all by taking advantage of their promo and they still get two more years out of me. I guess its one of those loopholes that they created when they started offering the yearly upgrade to people.

I can confirm this. I got an email saying any customer that has a contract end date in 2010 is eligible for a upgrade without an early upgrade fee to a smartphone until August 30th. Hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Not really. The term that throws me is "contract end date". Does Verizon see the yearly early one year upgrade date as a contract end date? My two year contract date is 2011.
