Ready to upgrade. Do I do it now?

So I am due for an upgrade in 2 weeks. The 16th I believe. My OG Droid is pretty much on it's last leg right now and I think the battery is pretty much fried somehow.

Anyways I have been looking into the Bionic for a few weeks now and seems like a great phone for me especially being 4g LTE. Also been looking at the Droid Prime but with so much uncertainty about it , I can't really afford to wait any longer for a new phone.

I was looking on the VZW website and it looks like I can get the Bionic for 299.99. Is this the cheapest or should I wait for my full upgrade date to come? Would it be cheaper to order online rather than order it at the store?


Should I just wait for more info on the Prime? Will it be worth it?

Thanks for all your help!

Call VZW, I just got off the phone with them and they offered me $150 off the 2 year price if I upgraded my wife's iphone to any 4g phone and she just upgraded in Feb.

Oh ya the bionic is worth it. I came from the OG droid and have never been happier.
If you want to wait you can get a replacement battery for your droid for $3 here.

Wow. $150 off? So only 50 total then ? Or am I getting my numbers mixed up.

Sweet. I was never smart enough to look on amazon for a new battery.

Thanks a lot man!!
 
Costco still has the bundle offer going on. $280 for the Bionic, the desktop cradle, navigation dock, extra battery, and battery charger for a $160 value. This is in addition to the leather carrying case, car charger, and screen protectors that come with every phone you purchase from us. ;)
 
The much anticipated Nexus Prime is coming out. Both phones are great though. Haters gonna hate.

$150 I am guessing. Funny thing is that I was at the VZW store yesterday and they told me that they can not change the price. I saw that Radio Shack has $100 off 2-yr price on VZW smart phones.
