Yeah, I don't get it. The site says absolutely nothing about a rebate. It clearly says $199. I'll be very upset if I go to get the phone and it is $299 with a $100 rebate. It may force me to go back to AT&T even though I hate them with a passion.

Actually, as original Motorola Droid owners have now learned, it's about 8 months before you get screwed with by a better/more powerful phone coming out. Of course if you consider how those same people got shafted by the N1 only 2 months after purchase, the timeframe for the Droid X is downright generous. To add insult to injury, do you _really_ think you're going to get 2.2 in August? Kinda like the Droid owners got 2.1 in January? My bet is you see 2.2 in October or November.

What do I have to do to get a new phone with Annual Upgrade?

You must be registered for My Verizon, be on a calling plan of $49.99 or higher and have completed at least 1 year of a 2-year contract and agree to renew for an additional 2 years in order to get a new phone at a promotional price. It’s as easy as that.

I copy/paste the above from Verizon for those who are on 2yr contract, but are eligible for an annual and don't realize they can upgrade. My annual is up in Nov. I am just hoping that Verizon lets me upgrade with my annual early like people who are on a 2yr contract ending later this year.

Unfortunately…my calling plan is the 39.99/month one.

If your data/calling plan is over 39 dollars a month, something like that, you probably should have an annual update in November (Like myself). I'm not sure if Verizon is going to let people on a two year contract who are also eligible for an annual update, due to their calling plan, also upgrade early with their annual update. Do you understand what i'm saying…lol.

Acutally you do not have to be eligible in '10 only. You just have to upgrade to a smartphone before August 31, 2010. But the eligible line has to keep the phone. You can not change it to another line…according to the VZW eligiblity requirements. There may be ways around that..wink wink

Damn…the early upgrade news is awesome…but unfortunately I'm not eligible. My new-every-two isnt until September 2011. Guess I wont be getting a Droid X. By then there will already be something else better.

1 year pricing is typically $70 more than 2 year on every phone. If you get corporate pricing through a work discount it may only be $40ish more.

Has anyone seen or heard of what the one year pricing is on the Droid X? I won't do a 2 year contract anymore, the technology changes too quick.
