Does a NE2 discount of $100 apply thus making it $99?

 
 
Posted by DJCG Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

I was wondering the same thing.. my ne2 comes on the 31st of this month. Usually I get a $100 discount with it, so wondering if we'll be able to get this for $99.

 
 
Posted by pos190 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Good news! If you have a $50 or $100 New Every Two credit on your account, you will be able to use that with the $199, potentially making your new Storm $99.99 after rebate!

 
 
Posted by DJCG Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Thanks! That is great news. Makes the extra week I have to wait for my ne2 to kick in, almost worth it. Hard to put off the storm for a week, but I'll manage.

I called today and Big Red said I was unable to use my NE2 discount.

Any idea if Best buy will be geting it the same day?? If they don't I already have a spot picked out in the parking lot of the Verizon Store, TAILGATE!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE (November 14th 1:30pm): Best Buy just called my appoinment is Friday the 21st at 11am no need to wait in line!!!!!!! 199.99 - 50.00(deposit)I am glad that I waited to switch my wife's line from AT&T...... she gets the Curve I get the Storm!!!!!!!!

Just be careful. I had the storm reserved at best buy until today.

Found out if you upgrade your phone thru best buy, the storm will actually cost you $280, however if you upgrade at an actual VZ store it will be $199.

Don't know why there is that difference, probably best buy trying to get more money from ppl to increase their profit. I am bettering VZ doesn't give them a big of a pay out for upgrades as they do for new cx...

Thats great news, now hopefully Telus and Bell will confirm a date.

WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by Gawain Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Does that mean I'll get a debit card mailed to me instead of a check? Other than that....exciting!!!

 
 
Posted by wILLZ10 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

about a month ago I received a rebate card from Verizon and the funds were actually transferable to a bank account... not sure if it will be the same but it is possible....

 
 
Posted by pos190 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Verizon Wireless offers debit card rebates now instead of checks. The funds ARE transferrable to your bank account!

 
 
Posted by eMpTy43 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

It is possible to transfer the funds BUT ONLY IF IT'S THE FULL $50. If you use the card for even one purchase, the transfer option is voided.

If I understood your post on that other side correctly, you'll be getting two of them (just to keep the wife happy) ;-)

 
 
Posted by someone Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

I will definitely be getting this on the 21st :)

 
 
Posted by webbie128 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Gawain, that is correct. no check

 
 
Posted by BabiCakes Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Thank goodness I get paid on the 20th!!! About Time!!!

How can I wait until next Friday?!?!?!?

 
 
Posted by Storm obession Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

The storm is 100 time better than the iphone. i cannot wait to get this phone. I have to pay the $520 price tag but it is so worth the money

 
 
Posted by eMpTy43 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

I've never been a touchscreen fan but this phone kicks every other touchscreen phone's a$$. I'll be at my VZW store an hour before they open an hour early for this thing baby!

Anyone want to buy my VZW 8330 Curve (only has 1 or 2 scratches!) ?????

I figure Storm for $520 - Curve sold for $250 - iPod Nano 3rd gen sold for $100 = $170 for my NEW STORM! :) :) :) :)

 
 
Posted by Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

Why would someone buy a used & slightly scratched Curve for $250 when they can get a new Storm for $199? :-D

 
 
Posted by reyam Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

Hey moron, you haven't even touched a Storm. Don't try comparing it to an iPhone. You have nothing to base that stupid opinion on. The Storm's processor is not even as fast as the Bold's so you are not even getting RIM's best product. Oh, that's right, you need it to text your pimply faced 8th grade buddies about the Cheerleading Captain. Fag.

I will be nowhere near work next friday. Cant wait!

 
 
Posted by new every two Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

On october 26th my palm's speaker stopped working, so i went to the local verizon store to get it fixed. they told me that I would not be able to get it fixed and that i could use my new every two. i explained to them that i was holding out until the storm came out to get a new phone, and they explained to me that I could use my ne2 to get a phone and if the storm came out within 30 days of oct 26th, i could exchange my ne2 for the storm and pay the difference. Plus i have a $50 credit, so needless to say, im looking forward to 11/21

 
 
Posted by pos190 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

You do have 30 days, just remeber you'll be incurring an exchange fee when you change to the Storm!

 
 
Posted by jbates14760 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

just go to the store now and return your curve. Switch back to a junk phone for a week. Just sent my Curve back 2 weeks ago. No fees, no bs. That is unless you mailed in the rebate. If you did your screwed. Then it's gonna be full retail.

 
 
Posted by pos190 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Verizon Wireless has a "Rebate SKU" for people who sent in their rebates but want to exchange the phone. It charges you for the $50 in-store that you get back in the mail. So you don't have to pay full retail.

 
 
Posted by jbates14760 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Thank you I was not aware of that. I was told by a csr that once mailed in you were screwed. Should have known better than to trust a sales rep lol. thanks.

 
 
Posted by cant wait Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

11/21 will be my senior skip day for a phone. yeah baby

 
 
Posted by jh4for5 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

There's no price or date on my screen when I click the link. Just the same page that's been up there.

 
 
Posted by linkkoriri Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

What a sick birthday present! :O My B-Day is November 21st. ^_^ Any other BB Storm Birthday people out there? :D So I already have it booked off over a month ago. So no excuses needed. I just hope that Bell Mobility Canada takes the same release date.

 
 
Posted by spark09223032207 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

I knew it! The verizon website was unavailable at around 2 a.m., and I was praying that it was what i thought it was. YESSSSSS! The price is perfect, and perfect timing for Black Friday!

 
 
Posted by hacktheplanet Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Spark, black Friday is the 28th.

 
 
Posted by aketch Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Alright! It's about time! Now, if only I get an early upgrade offer because I'm not due til next June.

 
 
Posted by wooo whoo Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

I have come up to my 2 yr trade-in period where I am actually qualified for a $150 off a new phone with Verizon if I resign a 2 year contract. No way will I pass up this deal for the Storm!

Posted by scottlucky13 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

It shows up on the homepage for me. :) Looks like i will be a little late coming into work on friday! Man traffic was crazy!!!!

 
 
Posted by jedigeekhalo Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

i will pass...i just got my blackberry curve 2 months ago. so maybe in a couple of years.

 
 
Posted by BrianFTC Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

Storm obsession - where did you get the info saying it would be $520 as retail price? I am thinking about it but if it goes down a bit for the real holiday season in a week or two, I will wait....

 
 
Posted by Sidekick_Traitor Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

the price wont change in 3 months let alone 2 weeks...

if you've had your current phone for 6+ months, with a renewal you may qualify for discounted pricing even if your not up for your standard upgrade. (With Blackberrys sometimes mgrs are willing to upgrade early)

I have a curve and a voyager... im dropping my voyager and i'll have a curve and a storm... only problem is since i am a verizon employee i wont have it at launch.

 
 
Posted by MadtownTim Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

It's also on the front page of the website.

 
 
Posted by MPSmith1 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1184 days ago

I don't see the $519 retail price on any front page, either VZW's or crackberry's. Could someone please direct me?

Thanks

 
 
Posted by eMpTy43 Thursday, Nov 13, 2008 1183 days ago

It's probably on the 2nd page of the Crackberry blogs page with all the new info that's been posted in the last couple days...

I am for sure taking a BlackBerry Storm sick day!!
