For those about to defect to Droid (or android)

Sorry if this seems like too personal a question, but how do so many of you guys upgrade phones so quickly? The Omnia hasnt even been out two years? Are you all paying full price? I was thinking, I am part of a family plan with my mom, my two brothers, and my 9 year old son, it would be just 9.99 a month to add a new line. Could I do that to be able to get a new phone at upgrade price, and just suck up the 9.99 extra a month for two years? Since I wouldnt be using my Omnia anymore, I would cancel the 30 dollar data plan on the line I have now, since I know I would have to add it to whatever new phone I get. Am I calculating all this correctly, or living in lala land lol

well i got my i910(got it from ebay brand new for 295) in feb of 09 comin from a xv6700. i usually upgrade my phones every year or so. but im at my 10 month upgrade point at VZW so im just tryin to hold in for the O2.

as far as the upgrade. you can add the line for 9.99 BUT that wont be the monthly price for the 2 years. you will have to pay for the plan you choose. which is 39.99(the lowest). so really i dont think its going to be worth it in my opinion for your situation. just try and wait off for the update plan. if your on a 1 year contract, the upgrade date is after 10 months where you start getting discounts. if your on 2 years its after 20 months.(at least thats what it is for me)

if you plan on upgrading your phone keep the data plan if you want to use it on the new phone

You can add a line then have the new phone transferred over to your current line. Then activate an older feature phone on the new line. That's what I did for this go around and I gave the feature phone to my older son (needless to say he is a happy camper ).

This worked best for me as I don't loose my phone number and I get the low price for the Droid.
