Who is going to pay full retail?

[shinbone]

Other than not being locked into a two year contract, are there any other reasons, advantages to buying the iPhone outright?

your wife wont talk to you for about a week ! More time to play with your new iPhone !

The main number on the account is eligible for a new upgrade once a year and the extra lines can only do that every two years.

they are getting rid of that after jan 16. No longer will you have annual upgrades on main lines.

No way I rather wait a couple months when I'm eligible

20 months is correct.

I think there are many out there who will pay the full retail to get this game changer!

I read an article that VZ tweeted today and it stated that the 16GB version will be $649 and the 32 $749 I can't believe they are charging more than ATT off contract!

not really a game changer just something people have been waiting for for years

Existing customers can still use that one year upgrade if they are the main line holder and have not upgraded yet. That rule applies to new customers and existing customers that have already upgraded their line.

I will be paying full retail. The way I justify it in my head is, "it's like buying a smaller version of the ipad, with a phone built in."

I'll probably end up paying full retail.

The way I see it, if there IS a new Verizon iPhone in June/July, I'll be able to use my upgrade pricing then, and probably do a year contract if need be.

I've thought about- no way in hell am I gonna pay full retail. I must admit, I was chomping at the bit initially... but that's just my hellish year with AT&T and my desire to have an iPhone. That was the emotional side.

I'm gonna wait until June for the iPhone 5. If the iPhone 5 is LTE, then I'm gonna buy a iPhone 4 CDMA- I don't think it's worth the extra monthly fees yet.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I have 2 lines that I pay for that have upgrades in May and July so I'll be free to upgrade soon if they do release an iPhone 5 on Verizon.

I am pretty much set on paying the $650.00 and getting the iPhone 4, I also have an upgrade in July and can upgrade to a new iPhone if it is worth it. I am using the fact that I have held out and not bought an iPod touch as justification for spending the $650 since I will be getting a phone and iPod! I will also hopefully be able to make a good amount of money on my Droid X. Either way I can't wait until Feb. 3rd!

As long as you have a decent phone to sell like a BlackBerry or Droid the full retail price really isn't that bad for the phone you're getting

Yep. Droid Incredible is still selling well on ebay lol

I had been debating in my head for a couple days on if I would do it, and made up my mind to. I bought the 4th gen iPod Touch as an early Christmas present for myself. Best Buys holiday return policy is that I could return it by January 31. That plus the Droid X with accessories should pay for the retail.
