I just got off the phone with Verizon CSR. I asked why it was $50.00 more per phone if bought at retail price ($599 vs $649 for 16g and $699 vs $749 for 32g) on Verizon's site vs Apple's site. The CSR I spoke with was unaware of the price discrepancy between the two websites.
Long story short . . I was credited $100.00 towards my next Verizon bill (I bought 2 phones at retail price). At first, I was given the option to cancel my existing order from Verizon and re-order through Apple. I declined that option because I didn't want to "lose my place in line" for my existing pre-order. The CSR was very understanding and credited my account $100.00
If you bought on Verizon today and paid full retail, call Verizon and ask for credit. Hope your experience is as successful as mine was today. Good luck
