Does anyone know if the Iphone pre-order will be offered with a 1 year contract as an option ? Also, any news if Verizon will offer employer discounts off the iphone data plan or will that be excluded ? Thanks

From what I have read, there isn't a new "iphone data plan" it is the same data plan that all smart phones use. That would lead me to say that yes your employer discounts would still count. I get 21% off of mine so its like $23 for data instead of 30.

AAAHHHH NNNNOOOO, you forget who you are dealing with here. This is apple, not BB or Palm. I currently work as a Wireless Manager at a non corp store and sell att. If you are on a certasin plan than you cannot carry the iphone. There is no discount at all on the plans for any employees. I have been asking for years, so basically the only way you can get any price diff is if you do have a corp discount.

As far as the 1 year contract yes you can, but the price on the phone will go up. Im not sure how much but just speak with the vzw sales person and they can let you know how much they will rape you for it.

So wait...I'm a Best Buy employee and get a decent discount with Verizon (just a normal consumer line with a corp discount). Are you telling me if I get the VZW iPhone 4 my discount will no longer apply?

No, the discount will apply. I was speaking on the point of any discounted plans. Like those that managers like myself have. Where I dont pay a thing. Now some stores, like corp do have that capability. But any third party carrier like best buy from what I know cannot have the SPECIAL discount. I have been with at@t for 6 years, and on that SPECIAL manager line for the last 4 and I cannot carnot carry the iphone.

Actually working at Best Buy I do have the option for a heavily discounted line, at least so says our Verizon account executive. I think it's $20 a month with Verizon for virtually unlimited everything. The catch is, I supply the phone at full retail. Not a bad deal in the sense that it definitely pays for itself in the long run. I'm happy with my corporate discount though

So appearently Vzn isn't being weird like AT&T with a bunch of Iphone specific rules & policies. The Iphone is just another smartphone, all the same rules & policies should apply to it that apply to any other smartphone.

at&t didn't write the iphone specific rules and policies, apple did.

The iPhone will be available on a 2 year contract or full retail price only. At this time there is not a 1 year option.
