My Bionic

[Bearly]

Any chance you take some more pictures? Indoors and outdoors? Video's look good the pictures you took in the grocery store looked pretty good too, but wanted to see outside for sure too.

This is super awesome for you to be doing this. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!

--Todd

Can you please take some indoors and also in low light?

My Thunderbolt picture quality is drastically different in daylight versus low light. My Fascinate was much better overall.

Thanks for your efforts my man!

But for smartphones it only takes like $50 off?

No, still free. I had an enV2 before I got my Blackberry Storm 2, I didn't pay a penny for the Storm 2 and it was on Verizon's site for around $600 when it originally came out if I remember right. They pretty much just sent me the phone new, and I still have the old one, no strings attached.

This could have changed, but I haven't been able to read anything that says otherwise.

Well then I should be able to do that too...but of course they won't let me lol. I can only upgrade at a discounted price....but I've had this Chocolate for like 3 years.

No no no... they don't do that anymore. Your 2 yr discount is $30 off the new contract price (so if bionic is $300 with contract, you can get for $270). I've seen a few people on here say they got $50 off instead of $30 but I'm not sure. I know mine and most everyone else's discount is $30 only, no free phone. Maybe they'll give you a free dumb phone, but not a smart phone, and certainly not a new one like the bionic.

That could be the case depending on when you entered Verizon as well though, last I asked them which was a few months ago they said my upgrade would be free. Could be that or they was saying my discounts I have been getting are now stacked or something, I dunno. I have a discount I am able to take right now, but also have my NE2 that isn't used up.

Bworley, thanks again. You may have converted me back from iPhone. Keyboard looked great. Pics looked great.

Well put it this way, I would be shocked if they actually gave you a free upgrade to the bionic, but I wish you luck. I'd warn you not to count on it though. I obviously don't know how many upgrades you have stacked or whatever though so who knows. I'd give them a call and speak with a rep to find out how accurate that is now.

Good to see someone back from that dark side that is Apple inc.

I'm still waiting to upgrade but Verizon is only giving me $50 off the contract price. Been with VZW since 1998 and in all that time have only gotten a new phone at upgrade once or twice.

Some nice pics, and the typing is very clean as well. Hopefully it doesn't decide to start to lag when you are able to type very fast in long messages. My Storm 2 does that currently cause I type too fast on it, with text conversations that have around 30 messages, I sometimes have to stop for 5-10 seconds for the text to catch up to me.

I guess we will find out, gonna be pretty upset to find if they changed it mid contract from the last time I received my last upgrade. Was able to get any phone, even ones that were released recently for free. Hoping that since I had my last NE2 countdown start then, that those rules still apply to my account, we will see though.

Lol sounds like my phone...I type so fast that it can't keep up with my typing.

When I bought HTC TB, I only paid $199 instead of $250 because it was an upgrade. So there is good chance it will be $50 off for upgrade.

Me too...I've been with Verizon since 1997 and this is my last NE2 and I am only getting $50 off; it will cost me $249...my Storm2 was $199 and my NE2 was $100 at the time and so the new phone only cost $100...I was HOPING for one more $100 off, but it looks like they reduced the NE2 to $50.
