Motorola V710
Price Difference
So full retail at RS (before rebates, contract discounts, etc) is $519
And full retail at VZW (before rebates, contract discounts, etc) is $419
Is there normally such a large difference in prices between RS and VZW?

In the end. THey have the same price. Except for the new every two for verizon. Which drops 100. They are still 250 either way in the end.

I'm not sure I follow the math on what you are saying, but I'll believe you. Still, if a person is not eligible for contract extensions -- and has to pay full retail -- then there is a $100 difference -- right?

that is what it seems like to me
I see it (at full retail, not eligible to upgrade)
RS - $519
VZW - $419
could RS just be charging more since they are most likely going to be selling it a week earlier, then when its released through verizon it will drop to the same price as verizon? ($419)

I think the ONLY reason RS is selling it early is because they are charging more for the phone before it is avaliable with Verizon. They know that the hardcore people will buy it first immediatley, and since verizon can't sell them early (because then they'd have to sell it to everyone) they give a couple handsets to RS so that they can make TONS of money on people who want the phone IMMEDIATLEY. However, I think that may be part of the deal. RS gets to sell the phones early, but they have to keep the retail price at $519. Because then, all the people who really want the phone but don't need it the EXACT day it comes out, will go to Verizon and get it for $100 less (Which means everyone buys it from Verizon and not Radioshack). It's a win-wi...

RS full retail prices are generally higher than VZW anyway.
