She also said that I could use my NE2 for the last time, and that it will be $30 dollars.
Can I upgrade early for this?

Hmmm I hope I'm that lucky! It also says online I'm eligible for an "early upgrade." This was especially pushed on me during the iPhone release. Which I politely passed up, with two middle fingers in the air.
I called my store and inquired. I told him it says on my VZW account I'm eligible to upgrade now, but my date is slated as 4/24. He said don't worry about that, you can upgrade now... but if you waited until the 24th you'd get another $30 off the price of upgrading. He then went on to state the 2 year price ($249), and I asked him about 1 year contracts. He said they do offer those for this phone, but he wasn't sure of the price but that its "typically $70 more than the 2yr." He said they have 20 in stock, and when I asked him if they were expecting a huge blowout on the phone like the iPhone4 he said "well I'm not sure about that, but we have had alot of people ask about this phone."
Sooo... I get off work at 7:30AM. It'll take me about 30 mins to drive to this store. Figure I'll see if a line has developed (it opens at 9AM), and if not, then I'll park myself there and play BrickBreaker (FOR THE LAST TIME HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) and pop in and BOLT out!
Hope that helps.

Very nice! My appointment was for 10am but don't worry, I will be there at 9am haha. I go into work at 4, and I don't even think I will eat before then. Better get a shake ready
A shake huh? I work in a hospital, and before I leave I'm going to ask one of my friendly nurses to put a catheter in me. That way, if I have to pee while I'm in line, I can just go. I won't have to leave. You won't be able to tell I've done it, and I'll keep my place in line (if there is one) and still get the phone arhghahahahahaa!!!
No really.
I've been holding onto my upgrade forever, so tomorrow this means I'll get a discounted price? I'm abit confuzzled.. could someone explain?
HAHAHA! For some reason I believe you! I doubt there will be a line, and that isn't exactly the best feeling in the world having a catheter. Good luck with that, and you definitely beat me on that one.

Yeah, me too. I wish I had some more hands. So I could give the iphone more middle fingers up. LOL
Im a vzw cst svc rep and what u have is an early upgrade that u get after u had a yr into ur contract and there is a 20 dls fee fr that, and no NE2 does not count towards ur early upgrade. On our system we get 2 dates one is ur NE2 and on another we get ur EU or early upgrade. Hope it helps and if anybody has a question just ask me.... just not abt tiered data plans,
Is there any reason why my EU wouldn't show up in their system in-store?
I showed them an email reply I received from vzw customer service which clearly said that I am eligible on March 24th for an early upgrade with a $30 early upgrade fee, but the rep at the store said it wasn't showing up in the system - but that the email was correct, they just can't do anything about it until next week?
Well to be honest im not sure if at they were able to see it or not, the only reason i can think of that they were not able is if u have a family share plan and the line u wntd to upgrade is a secondary bcase secondary lines dont get an EU only primary lines... but to be honest u can get the EU but its harder through stores. Usually if u call us we are more flexible (although we have rules to follow) and will be able to get u the EU 1 week early but we do chk ur pymnt history, credit history and since what year u have been a customer.
If I call and try to get the phone that way, and I'm successful.. do they mail it to me? Or can I pick it up in-store? Or how does that work?
If you do get it over the phone, we will mail it 2 u we will never ever send u to a store to pick a brand new phone. Our shipping takes 2 days but u can get overnight fr a fee.
Thanks.
One more question - I can only do this tomorrow right? Or can I do it now and pre-order?
No pre-order fr the tbolt u will have to wait but u can try and get the EU since now by calling cst svc.
Well, no such luck for me. I just called.
They didn't even seem to know what was going on with my account - all they saw was my 11/24 NE2 upgrade. No mention of a 3/24 early upgrade. They had to put me on hold to figure out what was going on..
They finally came back and said they see it now, and that it was a manager approved uprade and that it won't actually show up in their system until it is officially 3/24. So they can't do anything because my upgrade doesn't technically exist yet. And the upgrade is only good for online ordering, I think?
Odd. I've never encountered this before..
Oh well. I didn't expect calling would actually work. Worth a try, though.
