If you are past the 1 year point in your 2 year contract, you may upgrade at the 2 year price without a problem... but will extend your contract out by 2 years.

You won't get the extra 30, 50 or 100 off for the NE2 discount.

Some Verizon managers in store will act like they are doing you a favor. They really are not, they are doing what they are allowed to do. (I heard one in the store today telling a customer that because he was a manager, he could probably get him an upgrade... I bit my toungue and walked out of the store, cause I knew he was not doing a favor.) I will be driving further next Friday to get my phone, as I do not like people that lie.

If you have a problem next Friday getting the phone in the store, order it online for $199. You will save the tax, not have to deal with the rebate and will get the phone quickly.
