Sacrifice $100 NE2 Credit?

OK...I admit it. I'm a gadget junkie. I love cool new phones. The second year of my two-year contact always feels like 5 years. Here's my latest temptation: I just confirmed that I could upgrade my phone to the new Droid X this week (at the reduced price of $199) but no NE2 credit. If I wait 3 more months (an eternity) I could do it AND get my $100 NE2 credit. So the question is, do I wait 3 more months to save $100? Oh I already know what the responsible, adult thing to do is. But I really don't want to. I want a cool new phone. Now.
What would you do? ๐Ÿ˜•

Later this year motorola is going to launch another droidx w a 2g processor to take advantage of the ability to load flash html pages. That's just food for thought.

What is your current phone?

and remember, if you wait, you'll only get the credit 1 more time. Then it will go to $50 (so it's not really worth waiting for after this one time)

My current phone is the LG Dare. It's been a good phone. It seems so basic now, but when I first got it two years ago it was da bomb! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'm still not sure what to do. I have read every review and watched every youtube video there is on the Droid X. I'm totally impressed with the phone, but I still think it's too big. I wish they could have built it with all the same features and specs, but made it the size of the incredible. Oh well...I guess I'll get used to it after a while if I get one. Which I probabl...

I will never again purchase a phone that has been on the market less then 4 weeks.

Have we learned nothing from the Storm 9530 and iPhone 4, Matt_a?

Let the rich people do the beta testing, IMO.

You're right. I absolutely know that getting the Droid X this week (if it's even possible) is a dumb thing to do. I'm just pathetically impatient when it comes to exciting new tech gadgets. Today is my 44th birthday, but you'd think I was 12 by the way I am with this stuff.
Here's how I justify it in my head:
The Droid X has been in the hands of and reviewed by hundreds of techies and review sites already. If there were any glaring issues with the phone, I think someone would have found it by now. Plus, there's also the 30 day return policy if the phone flat-out sucks.
