Phone prices

Do any of you have an educated guess on when VZW will drop prices on the "new phones" like the the V or the Razr? I wouldn't mind buying one but I would rather wait until the price drops a little. Yes, I will be paying retail since I am not yet eligible for an upgrade.
I was curious what the industry standard was as far as dropping prices, if there is one. Do they fall when newer phones come out, when the sales of the phone fall, or does it just depend on the carrier?

There is no industry standard. Sometimes they lower the price when they want to push the phone or get rid of high inventory, are running a promotion or for holiday sales. Noone could answer this for sure.

Current pricings on the phones are good through March 4th or 6th (sorry, I can't remember the exact date). Anything following that would depend on what is coming, selling best, and being liquidated. There are no rules but I knew the Motorola E815 would be coming long before it was ever even mentioned because the Motorola V710 went down about 70.00 in price. Remember though, the day they drop the price for a phone you have been dying to get, the next best thing is on the doorstep, so is it worth waiting?
