Question re: phone upgrades

I see people sometimes talking about getting, for instance, a Thunderbolt, to replace their Droid X. My question is, how are they buying the phones? Verizon only (I thought) gives discounts when your contract is within a few months of expiring, so are they paying full price for the phones? $400, $500, $600, etc? Can someone explain this to me?

I wouldn't worry about it, the world is ending this weekend...

A lot of people do pay full price but most just sell what they have to part subsidise their new purchase. Otherwise it's wait until the contract is up.
Getting back off topic...what are you doing with your last few hours of existance?

Speck Incredible Case At Verizon $4.00

Verizon has the case right now for $4 with free shipping.
I don't know how long it will last.

Thanks just ordered 2

I'm trying to buy one and it's there but no button to buy or add to cart. Ugh.
And it says it's not compatible with the droid incredible...

Did it charge you $4 amount for each? Or is it a typo?

Thanks for the info! Just ordered one.

Went to Verizon Store and asked about this, the price will stay, it's on clearance now. You can get it for the same price in store, just got a new one today!

Sites not working now (at least for me). Sold out?

Can't buy it online anymore? I'd love this for $5... Since it's in stores like someone said i think i'll try calling tomorrow.

I just bought one. Make sure you select your device as the HTC Incredible and not the HTC Incredible "recertified"

Dont know why that made a difference but it did.. Thanks! Got mine ordered.

Nice find!

awesome find, man! i had the verizon silicone case for this thing since i got it back last summer and it's starting to bend a bit and dust gets in there so shes getting old...just ordered this, 3.99 with tax and free 2 day shipping! woot

Just got mine in the mail today. It. Is. Awesome.

I just got mine today too. It's not bad... well, kinda great for only $4 shipped. But I'm too used to carrying around my dinc naked. It just feels too big/heavy with the cover on. But I'll use it on extended trips.

i use the silicone cases now already so i'm used to a case...only thing i don't like is all the red accenting on the front...makes it look cheap, meh.
just put mine on..seems pretty cool and sturdy! only thing that sucks is the volume buttons and power button are really hard to push now haha i hope they wear in a bit :-\

What movie should I go watch?

Hey guys, I want to go watch a movie but I can't decide which movie I should go see. I got 2 that I really want to see. Battleship or Snow White and the Huntsmen. My night of entertainment is in your hands.

It is 1AM where you are. Are the theaters open that late during the week? Well I guess MO is the meth capitol of the US. LOL

OP...the off topic movies thread would be a better place to ask. I've gotten some great ideas from the good folks there.

at least not every reviewer isn't complaining about 720p, and the "gimmick" of a curved phone..

lol @ sort of. hehe All high end phones are pricey. I saved 50 on my T-Mobile Flex because of the 6 Month free Netflix. I think AT&T is selling the Flex for 20 more then the T-Mobile. I think the curve helps fit the phone in my jean pockets better. I don't wear tight jeans and my pockets are deep. lol The 720p is one of the reasons why the battery life excellent so I consider it a pro.

Was the 6 months of free netflix because you got it online, or did you get an in store offer?

Lucky man :beer::beer:

Radio station contests if you call at the right time.
It's getting harder, though.
More people using auto dialers.
Lottery scratch off tickets at a busy store. Buy the ones somebody just bought 6 of.
Stuff like that that takes mild skill.

I won 1$ in scratch card

They used to have a game in taco bell where you drop a coin in some water and spin a holder of pedestals to catch the coin. A dime got a bean burrito if landed, quarters for cinnamon twists.
I won that a lot.

I had won a lucky draw organised by a smartphone showroom. I won a Samsung mp3 player which was no good to me as it was pink in colour. ( no offence to pink lovers)
