Just a heads up. You've probably already heard you can use the trade-up program to get a $100 vzw gift card. You can pick up a beater phone from ebay for $10-$20. I recommend searching for Motorola Admiral (motorola admiral in Cell Phones & Smartphones | eBay).
They can give you this credit even if you've already bought the phone. I purchased my Maxx from Verizon on Friday, bought an admiral off ebay and took it in for my $100 vzw gift card today.
I make no guarantees this works. It worked for me, but It was a bit of a gamble. I figured worst case I was out $20. If you can't afford to be stuck with the beater you buy off of ebay, I wouldn't do it. If you are willing to risk a few bucks, it could pay off.
If you can't afford to be stuck with the beater you buy off of ebay, I wouldn't try this. I'm Not responsible if you get stuck with a phone off ebay, but this worked for me and saved me $80 on my MAXX
