> [@originalsin](#): > > you need a two year contract on each phone as well as a data plan on each phone, they dont just hand you a $470 phone and expect nothing in return That doesn’t answer my question. Does this apply to only new customers or new and existing customers signing up for 2 year contracts with data plans? I saw that each phone has to have a 2 yr plan with data. ---

Existing or new. You have to extend both another 2 years. You have to be on the same account. Verizon is also changing data plans today. You can also buy eris and get an eris. I think the $100 MIR expired yesterday or the 27th. ---

That applies to everyone. you need to sign a 2 year contract or pay full price for the phone. ---

When you say eligible for the upgrade, you don’t mean the “oh you can upgrade today for an extra $20 but not with your NE2” right? If that’s the case then we’re both eligible in April or May. ---

i mean you need to be eligible to upgrade at a subsidy cost. whether you do it as an early (if you are allowed) or wait for a normal upgrade is something im not going to comment on. ---

he is correct i was eligible this month so they let me upgrade a few days early, i think if you upgrade now you would lose out on their 100 dollar rebate that they offer i think they call it their new every 2 or something like that ---

Yeah, I’m aware of the NE2. I’ll just go in again and ask them what’s the deal, see what they say. ---

Don’t get them if you use the internet, the Browser is VERY SLOW, other than that they are okay. I just picked up the Droid a couple weeks ago, and I really like it, and the Browser is 100 times faster. ---

this happened to me. i think you have to go into the syncing settings and fuck around with it. there’s an option where you can display only contacts with phone numbers or some shit. if I remember, I’ll try and post up how I did it. when you’re in the contacts area, hit the menu button on the bottom, and there will be a thing that comes up for display options and accounts. it’s one of those. ---

You rock! Thanks Dawn! I didn’t realize you had to be in contact display settings, I kept going to just regular display settings. ---
