Well folks...I went and got a Rezound. It was cheap...75.00...because I want my sis to finally have a 4g phone. She will inherit my beloved TBolt. My impressions so far is that a Rezound is pretty much a supercharged TBolt. With another upgrade coming my way in April, I will see what kind of devices are out then and sis will then get this Rezound. It just never ends unless you get an iphone. 8^)

April should be right about the time that quad core phones start coming out.

I can't upgrade until December (2 year contract), and I am so looking forward to the new toys coming out. I am liking the Samsung NOTE (Journal). But, by time December rolls around, all the new phones will be out or rumored to be coming out or almost out.....then everyone will be jealous of me (or us)

That's a good point...quad cores may come out in April (although there will probably be the usual delays), but by December, we'll probably already be looking at the next Android version release!

How did you get a Rezound for $75?

You should have asked for lower. I got my rezound for $50 on upgrade back in November ,no charm needed

That's good...works especially for people have no charm. I got another discount since I originally posted so mine was 50, too.

Yes, but assuming that it has been less than a year since you got your Bolt on contract, why would they give you the Resound at that price?

That is probably a question you should ask Verizon. As much as I would like to think it was the case, it certainly was NOT my charm.

Now, they have *supposedly* changed this policy, but I know that in the past as long as I was:
1. At least 1 year into a device
2. Willing to extend my contract another 2 years

They would give me the 2 year contract price on pretty much any new phone I asked for. Granted, I was not getting a NE2 discount, but I was at least not paying retail either. I always had success this way by calling the 800 number (not going to the store). I would never even mention the words "early upgrade" or anything like that, I'd just call ask what they could do for me if I wanted to buy [device X]...and they would always say, "well you're not due for an upgrade yet, but if you would be willing to renew your contract, I could authorize the device at the 2-year contract price" ... and the call would proceed from there.

Granted, NO one has had the Thunderbolt for year, although we're getting close, but I imagine that there were enough complaints and returns on this device early on that CS reps are authorized to allow folks to transfer devices early if desired. (or maybe not...what do I know?!?!?)

To the OP or anyone else that has switched devices already (at discounted prices), did you have to renew your contract, and more importantly if so, we're you able to keep your unlimited data plan? One thing that scares me is that even though I'm "grandfathered" into unlimited, they will eventually say that a certain device no longer supports the plan or that I can't switch devices without getting a new tiered plan, etc...
 
I got my TB in November 2010. Wasn't eligible to upgrade, but my wife's phone was. Since she's content with no data, I transferred her upgrade to my line for the Maxx. I was grandfathered in for unlimited with my TB and, when I upgraded to the Maxx, I'm still showing unlimited data. And, yes, it extended the contract on my wife's line.

Are you sure you didn't mean "2011" since the TB was only released in March 2011?....it's OK Frank, we still love you!.....LOLOL

You're right...don't know what I was thinking. It was actually my birthday present last March. Got it March of last year... Sorry for the misinformation. :banghead:

Glad I'm not thinking of messing up my contract for a trivial upgrade.
Looks like HTC is going to be bringing on some interesting stuff this year. Nothing shown yet for VZW, but you know it has to be in the works.
Something with quad core, larger battery, and a 4.7 inch display please. :cool:

More than 1 contract.
