If you want a phone now (Droid) I would suggest the Amazon wireless offer. $49 for new or upgrade 2 yr. contract. Why wait for your NE2 to kick in and still have to pay more for the Droid?
I upgraded and received mine on the 6th and transaction went smoothly. Phone is awesome. $49 is well worth the price. No problems with Verizon billing. I'm still receiving my employee discount as I was before the upgrade.
