well i bought the HTC Touch Pro 2 about a month ago from Verizon with a new 2 year contract....but I REALLY want that new Droid...

what options do I have to switch phones?? Should I buy out of my current contract then sell my TP2 on eBay and buy into a new contract from Verizon to get the deal???

or is there something else I can do???


Help!!
 
Kind of depends on your timeframe. Is that line it for your account or do you possibly have others that might qualify for a new contract? It sounds like you bought the phone as a single brand new account. If you bought in store you can try calling that store, if you aren't far past the 30 day mark to ask if they will do an exchange given that the droid has been out less than 30 days. CostCo allows 90 day return/exchange on electronics also, just in case you got it there.

I am not sure how much you could sell that baby for on eBay. The Droid is only $560 without a contract.

There is a lost & damaged phone program you could take advantage of. If you call and don't have another option for replacing it, with something like water damage on your phone, it basically gives you access to a 1 year discounted price on the device without having to buy out. There isn't a verification of the damage or a requirement to return the device. I've used it to replace a phone that got water damaged and was working alright but was shutting itself off a lot as a result of the corrosion. The droid is $269 on the 1 year price. I think that might be after $100 rebate. So that option looks like a good thing to try.
 
If you are under 30 days on the HTC, you can return it for the Droid, given that you didn't return something else to get the HTC.
 
why can't you just buy the droid at full price and just keep your current contract? if you want the phone that is about your only option, unless you can still return the first phone. but i wouldnt be doing any crazy ideas like cancelling your line, paying ETF, selling the phone on ebay for profit. that's crazy. why not just sell your current phone on ebay, use that money to buy the droid at regular price. keep same contract. done.
