Looking to upgrade the womans phone. Thinking about getting her the _Pink Razr_. She currently has verizon. Want something brand new, not used. Where is the best place to purchase one from? I have been looking on Ebay and Ubid, anywhere else I should be looking? anyone local have a hookup on these? Thanks Jeller ---

Yeah, I have delt with him on my current phone, good guy for sure. :tup: She is still under contract, so I dont think she can upgrade or not. I guess I will check with evolve on that. Also the purchasing a new phone through verizon is not always the most cost effective route… Jeller ---

> [@newman](#): > > what are the disadvantages of getting a phone from best buy? They are more than 100 dollars cheaper… for new customers… besides buying from someone who has no motivation/ care if they get your account set-up correctly because they are most likely a $7/hr clerk with little to no experience, and you are giving them your drivers lic/ss/credit card info? this situation is not a new customer either edit: selection too, last time i was in there, they only had a few models, only for new customers, only for 2 year contracts. ---
