Should I buy a ThunderBolt out of contract?

[DroidStang]

Well I am a prime example, I work with Computer and Blackberries all day long, the phone before my TB was a LG 5300 flip phone, no data no email, no texting nothing....this is my first droid or smart phone of any kind and if you were needing a opinion all I can say, this has almost made my netbook obsolite!! This thing, Skype w/ video, 4 G now today, Email, printing to my HP printer at home, be able to control my home computer with it, listen to all my itunes library, store on my windows 7 computer on here, or reverse it and play movies wirelessly that are on my TB on my computer, this thing, even if needs a reboot once a day, or 3 times a week, is a great piece of art work, everyone else must have a defective one, I had mine day one off the truck at Verizon store, was there first one, no complaints here.

Just find a family member or friend that has an upgrade available but doesn't want a new phone yet...then trade them (they get yours when yours comes up)

That's what I did...worked well.

swappa.com check it out. You can prolly get a TB there for $400.

Just buy a used TB off eBay if you have the cash. You can sell the D2, too which could help for the cost. Whatever you do, I'd recommend holding onto your upgrade til around Q4 if you're looking for something good and not Motorola.

The deal with the friend or family, if they are ready for a upgrade, don't they have sign up for 2 more years and buy the say, TB, and activate under their name, or are you handing them your phone then just telling Verizon guy you want to deactivate your phone and activate that TB, sorry just a little confused and they activate your old phone in their name
