I need your guy's opinions. Should I suck it up and wait the extra 10-20 days to get the phone on my moms plan (and pay her $20 a month) or cancel my order with her, and order the incredible on my own plan, and pay about $80 a month.. i'm a Junior in college, work two jobs.. but $80 is a lot..

My opinion is don't strap yourself. You are halfway there, I know it's tough, but $60 difference every month adds up to $720 a year. Maybe not what you want to hear, but I know it's hard when money is tight. :)

just wait. $60 a month extra is $720 a YEAR. 10-20 days is worth $720 a year to me
 
Okay you guys convinced me :) Thanks haha.
Sometimes i'm so spontaneous that I throw away money.
So I need to block the Amazon website so I can stop looking at it haha, thanks again Jen & Jrm.

Original Ship by date: 7/14
Received Shipping Email: 7/8

I had trouble activating mine because customer service had to officially switch me off the blackberry phone plan first. But the customer service agent I had was awesome and quickly fixed everything.

No problem! I understand because I'm totally desperate right now to have my Dinc, but that's a lot of cash. Hang in there, we're all here with ya:)

no problem. I'm old and sensible :-) My next argument would have been converting $60 into beer ... that's a lot of cheap college-grade beer you're throwing away!

I'm with them... $20/mo sounds a lot better than $80/mo to me!

Thanksss. The only thing is! I don't pay any bills, besides my credit card, and feel as if it would be really good to have something else to pay for for my credit history/score. Again though i'm 20, Junior in school, work a lot but idk.
 
Well, today has been a long day, and still no word for me. I gotta get outta here and head to the race track with my boys. They were in the newspaper yesterday, and we're looking for another win tonight. That is about the only thing that will take my mind off of this phone! I'll check back in around 2am to see what else has happened. Congrats to all with good news today:)

Trouble activating phone by OTA and online last night. No explanation given this morning, but got it activated after calling 800# from a landline.

It won't help your credit score or credit history.

Haha funny thing, I've only drank like maybe 6 or 7 times, and never beer because it tastes horrible to me.. I'm one of the few college kids that can say that lol

Ehh, I'd just wait it out. And extra $60 a month for the next two years is A LOT of money.

I know you are excited but I think that you will probably regret not just waiting every time you have to pay your cell phone bill.

Thank you, I'm glad I have you guys to talk me out of wasting my money! :)
 
So my DInc shipped and I've been checking the FedEx tracking every 5 minutes and at first my package weighed 2lbs and now it weighs 3lb? Someone explain to me how this happens? O.o
 
Woot! just got my shipping notification

Ordered over the phone 6/15 around noon from Upstate NY
promised ship date : 7/13
actual ship date: 7/9
arrival date: 7/13
shipped from Memphis instead of PA for some reason
did not receive a $25 gift card
 
brianhenny said:
And had babies, it'll be 5lbs tomorrow :)

I don't know though maybe they re-weighed it? Did you get a case or anything else with Verizon?

I don't think so I honestly don't know because my father ordered it via phone for my birthday so he could have but highly unlikely. Maybe someone didn't tare the scale or was leading on it:confused:

I don't think it's that big of a deal right? If it got less heavy, that might be one thing. And at least you're getting it soon!
