The phone is going to be $199 with a 2 year contract. $249 with a 1 yr.
That makes it $99 for people who will re-up given they they are eligible for the $100 credit.

LoL NOPE... [re-up aka upgrade] is the same price as new customers... the $100 credit you recieve for the phone is supposedly off of the retail price because "you are a loyal verizon customer" so you're really paying the same as a new customer would be paying. if anything the new customer would be getting a better price than a current customer because verizon is trying to get more customers and plans to keep their current ones (but upgrade and new customer prices are the same)
as far as the price i said before, it might be wrong. the a670 was definitely $329 from verizon to verizon authorized agent. the v710 is estimated to be $369 when it comes out so seeing the phone for $249 on a 2 yr new/ upgrade plan wouldnt be a surprise ($50 more f...

Im not following this, I can walk into verizon tomorrow and get any phone they have on the shelf for $100 off the listed 2 year price with my New Every 2 credit, atleast i thought so before i read the last post. Am i interpreting the NE2 wrong?
If this is no the case what is the benifit of the NE2 program?

verizon is saying "hey we want to keep you in contract so every 2 yrs come in and get a new phone for $100 cheaper" whispering ("$100 cheaper than the retail price to customers")
$100 off of the price of the phone at reatil price (retail price meaning no contract)
u can do an early upgrade about 10 months into your contract though and your still paying the same price as a new customer for the phone of your choice

umm... you are wrong
the 100 dollars comes off the promo price, not retail. If you don't have ne2, and your contract ends you get promo price to sign a new contract and buy a phone. Same goes for the 100 dollars off, it comes of the promo price not the retail price. So 249 promo with my new 1 year contract would cost me 149 if you renewed my contract and used my ne2 to get a new phone.

try that at a verizon authorized dealer... try it at a verizon corporate store also

I think you need to find a better cust sales rep, at least one who's not trying to rip you off...
the $100 is off the promotional price. i.e.-
with me being newly available for the new every 2 discount, I asked a couple verizon sales reps (one at the store, and one on their *611 cust service help number). we used the LG VX6000 as an example;
Right now the promo price is $150. I would start with that, they would then adjust the price for the $70 mail in rebate which lowers the price to $80. Verizon would then apply my NE2 $100 discount, and this phone would be free. Believe it or not, NE2 is not applied to the retail price to hose you- it's actually a profitable venture for a loyal customer.
Hope that helps.

they discount the price in store? even if its not at a verizon corporate store? or does that get credited towards ur bill or something?
LoL we havent been giving people a $100 credit wen they upgrade here so verizon has to tell us something we dont know or my boss is jus REALLY greedy

i was told by a corporate store...try calling that *611 help number and ask them (it an airtime free call 😉 ).

The NE2 $100 discount is only available at corporate store. unless the reseller is taking a hit on the phone. At a corporate store you must have a $29.99 or $39.99 (I cant remember which) or higher price plan for the past 2 years, and you must have had the phone for 11 months with a 1 yr or 22 months with a 2 yr contract. to get the $100 off. I know this because I work for Verizon wireless and used to work for radio shack.

my bad I didnt answer the other questions...
From the best of my understanding it should be in-store.
I don't know if (using the vx6000 example) my account would be debited the $80, and then immediately credited the $100 (or balance in this case to make the phone purchase a free transaction).
Or if, on the other hand, the purchase amount ($80) would be adjusted for the discount ($80 in this case) and then the final amount entered on my bill.
There were some weird things too they told me about the NE2, like if you only update your contract 1 yr. you get a different discount, and if you don't update at all you get a different discount.

Dude I called to confirm. I will get $100 credit off the 2 yr price plan of whatever phone I choose. Ive had my current phone 2+ yrs and a $35.99 plan.
For me the LG vx6000 would be free if I re-upped for another two years.

Scheming, who are you getting your info from? I'm just curious cause I just got off the phone with someone from verizon and they told me that the $100 discount for NE2 is off the 2-year price. I asked if the retail price is $249, and the 2-year price is let's say $199 what would I get if for? She said $99.

pisses me off too, but think about it......
The only reason why you have a phone that does anything *but* voice communications is because VZW makes their money on airtime.
The whole *point* of cameras and video and ringtones and mobile web and everything else is that Verizon wants you to spend more time on the phone, using up minutes, messages, and otherwise running up fees. They make even more by requiring you to pay for downloads from their portal.
Remember, the main reason why you have a GPS on your phone that you can't use is because they haven't figured out a good way to productize it yet.
So the problem is that somebody inside of Verizon decided that they really don't care about folks using their phone as a modem b
