Verizon begins sending customers early upgrade promotions

[wtherrell]

Even better deal if I can wait a couple weeks

Went by local VZW store today to see the Dinc and DX in person. Right now I can get either one for $199. But if I wait until 8/21 when my NE2 kicks in the in-store rep said I could get it for $99. Just have to decide by then which one I actually want. Droid X is so big it's intimidating to carry but would be good in use because of big screen. DInc looks easier to use and carry.
In moving from WinMo I am disappointed to find apparently two glaring shortcomings of Android:
1. No really good Calendar program to integrate with my Outlook calendar on my PC. (Like Agenda Fusion or Agenda One or Pocket Informant on Winmo.) I don't have access to an Exchange Server (whatever that is)
2. No good, direct way to Sync my Outlook calendar and tasks between the phone and my PC. I have always used Activesync and Verizons own Wireless sync on my WinMo.

Maybe something will develop before long. I have been searching the forums for solutions but haven't found much yet.

If you have to wait until the 21st maybe you should look at the droid 2 since its supposed to release around than. also you wont regret switching from winmo i had winmo for a long long long time, and am very happy and have never looked back to it since getting my droid 1 on launch day

I confirmed that the # in video works as I just upgraded to the X after just upgrading in April to droid 1. They asked if I got promotion told them I seen the video for early upgrade, verizon is happy to honor that promotion. ETA 2days..

I called back today for update since I didn't receive tracking #, now by the 3rd they said.

Got my X last night never did get any shipping info.

gonna try calling the number in the vid and the one dragonfly called. just a quick question. is it possible to get them to charge the phone to your bill? when i was on at&t and i upgraded to the iphone 3gs they were able to charge the price of the upgrade onto my bill. hoping verizon does this too...any ideas?

I got a few questions. I'm looking to upgrade from my voyager to a droid x. I'm eligible to upgrade on August 11th. I'm not the main line and I am on a family share plan. Anyways...

-Will I receive an upgrade discount of any significance? I'm looking to order online because that bypasses the rebate, so the droid x is $200. Can I get anymore off of that?

-If eligible for more discounts, will they just appear as I browse for phones to upgrade to online?

-Could I still end up being stuck being at least $200 for the droid x or am I almost guaranteed to get some discounts off that?

-Anything I can do to get the droid x before the 11th at discounted prices? I see you all talking about calling and then their letting you all upgrade with discounts so just wondering.

if your paying online use the promo code switch30 that will also give you 30 off. that was on google when i was looking for discounts

Really? That is cool. I just hope I can also get a discount from verizon and only have to pay 100-150$ on the droid x. I'd be very excited to get it at that price but I'm just not sure what to expect as far as discounts for my upgrade.

thanks. thats good to know. that way i dont have to pay it now haha. guess i'm going to sell my extra droid today or tomorrow so that will pay for my new X. looks like i'll have a D1, a Dinc, and now a DX. if the X is as good as it looks i'll be parting with the other 2 droids, if not i'll keep them.

I'll never part ways with my D1 not when its rooted i may get a droid 2 but only to mess around with for a few days haha. doubt it will steer me away esp not if it comes with that bootloader the X has.

I believe there is a 800 number on that flyer that you would have to call. Its a different center that are handling those flyers.
