Verizon wants to sell both Droid and passion, so it lets droid keep Christmas sales and passion will take over after. The problem is it doesn't want people abandoning their Droids when Passion comes out, so it recently upgraded service cancellation fee for smartphones to $350!
Sorry to say, but Verizon's been expecting people to feel exactly the way you (and I) do, so I'm going to hold out on buying the Droid until the 2nd week of January just to see what happens. THEY ARE BOTH SO COOL im not used to having a problem of TOO MANY cool phones on verizon lol
