I came from Sprint to Verizon in Feb and bought the Original droid for 199. Its now almost Sept and I want the droid x BADLY, just not bad enough to pay 500. I even offered to extend my contract and was still denied to get the X at a discounted price. They said I wont be eligible for an upgrade until Oct 2011. Why the hell would they deny and extention of a contract?! Its just like guaranteed cash in their pocket. With sprint I would just go in and update my contract and walk out with the latest phone. Im just so frustrated as to how they just dont care and want someone to stick with the same smart phone for over a year without any type of upgrade. Now my only option is to go through craigslist and hope someone wants to trade plus cash or just have the oldest droid phone until 2011. **** Verizon...
