The sad part is paying the tax on full retail, at least in California, even if you're paying for the upgrade price of $299.

Uh No. I just bought from AmazonWL for $249 (2yr Upgrade). Tax was not added (as is all purchases).

Costco was $279 and the accessories ONLINE were 3rd Party (at least the case and screen protectors were). Not sure about the car charger. Regardless, CA Tax would be about $45 or more.

VZW was $249 + tax = ~$299 for 2 yr

AmazonWireless: Motorola DROID BIONIC 4G Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) yeah here's a link, it's $250 on a family plan upgrade. I think it's the same for all of them currently, but $250 is Amazon..for the phone only. I'm going to Costco screw that lol.

Does anyone see the costco deal online anywhere? It seems like a better deal, even though I'd have to buy a costco membership, but I don't want to waste the time going there if the deal isn't on.

Do I need to buy from Verizon to get the $30 NE2 credit? or can I buy from Amazon or somewhere else?

There are two discounts that may be applied in my area. One is the $30 loyalty discount that according to a local store rep, would be applied in the store or online at VZW. There's another NE2 $50 discount that, according to the same store rep, would only be applied online.

If my understanding is correct, and I'm waiting to hear this from a second store rep, whose store opens at 10:00 am, the $249 price would match Amazon's online retail price and the $30 "loyalty credit" would best or equal the tax (6%) charge in this state (MD) a tax you do not have to pay when shopping through Amazon Wireless.

Not a Bionic deal, per say, but BJ's has 50% extended battery and cover (24.99). The best part is you don't have to buy the phone there to get the deal. I ordered mine online last night, and just got the battery at BJ's.

That walmart sounds perfect. Could someone post a link?

Thanks
I just posted details of this on a separate thread (sorry should have put it all here... mods maybe you can move/attach). Letstalk.com has bionic for $199 for upgrade, no tax, free overnight shipping. If you want to keep your existing unlimited data plan it's $20 more. Somehow this makes me feel confident that I'm not losing unlimited. And if you order through ebates.com, you get a $45 rebate.

Walmart is $199.99 with new plan. I see $219.99 when I keep my plan the same. Still a great price but the accessory deal at Costco is hard to pass up if true.

With taxes I paid ~ $235.

I attached a screenshot that included my number and the info below and they honored it. Maybe it's because I said that if I had to choose between discounts I would buy at Amazonwireless where I did not have to pay tax. They did try to sell me a protective screen hard for at 50% off, but I didn't use it with my Droid so I declined. I only got the extended warranty. The manager said it must be a software glitch, but that they regularly offer either the corporate discount OR the loyalty discount. One of their online associates said they would give me free o/n shipping so they put this one in as well. I have a screenshot of that too :)

If ordering over the phone, please ask the rep if there are any promotions. I got a free month credit (same thing was done when I ordered the charge).

$299-$100 NE2-$120 credit=$79

OK a couple of questions, how are some of you getting the NE2 of $100 mine is only $50 and I have been with verizon on a smartphone/blackberry for a very long time?

How do you order from letstalk through ebates? It keeps sending me to wirefly.

Sorry. I'm not sure about how the NE2 is determined. I read somewhere a while back that it has something to do with your plan & if you have a smart phone. I had a BB Storm with 900 (?) minutes, unlimited text, 5 friends & family and $29 unlimited data plan. Been with Verizon almost 3 yrs.
