Motorola V710
Picked mine up at RS in NYC works great!!
I picked my phone up from radio shack today down by Union Square in NYC. They only had two. I got one. I'm playing with it right now and it is a fantastic phone.
I was up for new every two and got the phone for $349.99 with a one year contract. It was $319.99 with a two year but I didn't want to commit to a phone for that long. They offer the $70 rebate which brings mine to $279.99. With a two year contract that would be $249.99. As far as I can tell that is the same as what Verizon is going to offer.
So far everything works great on it. Calls placed/received, pictures, everything.
Get it at the Shack if you can.

So - you paid $100 more than you had to because you gave up your $100 NE2 credit - right?
...
No. As stated elsewhere the phone retails without a contract for somewhere in the $517 range. Because I was renewing my contract I was able to get it for $349.99 with a one year contract. Two years was $319.99 which would make the phone $249.99 with the rebate.
As far as I can tell this is the lowest price that you are going to get from verizon with the NE2 credit and the $70 rebate.
NE2 is basically the same as signing a new contract. When you first sign up for service you get a $50 rebate on a phone for one year and a $100 rebate for two. Same thing with NE2.
This is the same deal that I got from RS. Even if it is slightly cheaper at Verizon I have 30 days to take it back to RS if I don't like it for whatever reason and then I c...

I am 99% sure you are incorrect, and have paid $100 too much for the phone.
I spoke to a Verizon rep this morning, and she confirmed what I already thought to be the case.
The phone retails for above $500
If you sign a new 2-year contract - it comes down to about $319, and then there is a $70 rebate which brings it to $349. This price is for ANYBODY who signs a 2-year contract - even a new customer.
If you are a NE2 customer - and have had your current phone for 22 months - you are entitled to a $100 credit toward the purchase of a new phone. Meaning - you could pay $249 - $100 = $149.
The rep confirmed this for me... and this is why I'm waiting until the 11th. I have one waiting for me on hold at a Radio Shack right now - bu...

I accidentally typed:
"there is a $70 rebate which brings it to $349"
I meant to type "$249"

I contacted my local VZW rep, and was told the opposite - the NE2 promotion does not overlap the discount multiyear agreement price on a phone. I asked him point-blank:
"Does the NE2 promotion active against the 2-year plan price?" No was the answer.
"The NE2 promotion is only a discount after the full retail price?" Yes was the answer.
I wonder which will take hold!

yeah- but 10% of $249 is $24.90
If this guy would have gottent it from Verizon with his NE2- he would have saved $100!
It's a no brainer - unless you really want it 13 days early - and are willing to pay $100 more for it (or of course if you don't have NE2 - then getting it from RS is fine)

Talk to me in 13 days kgray. We will see then who got the phone earlier, and at the same price as VZW.
...
I had to pay full retail so I got the rebate + the 10% off - so the price was better than any EBay price I have seen.
...
You forget that verizons retail is only 419.99 and RS is 519.99. If you are buying the phone at retail you bette rwait. I guess you could buy it at RS then return it when the VZ phones come out and get your $100 back..
...
I just called Verizon to RECONFIRM- you guys are 100% wrong on this.
The phone retails for $5xx
If you get a 2-year contract - it brings it down to $319
With the $70 rebate (which is through Motorola) - it is $249 (you have to pay the $319 - you get the $70 in 6-8 weeks)
NOW - if you qualify for NE2 - you get $100 towards this purchase - meaning that Verizon will charge you $219 instead of $319 BEFORE the rebate - so when you get your $70 back - you've only paid $149.
This is only valid for qualified NE2 people who get a $100 credit.
If you aren't due for New Every Two - then go for it - get it at Radio Shack -it's the same price as VZW.
BUT - if you do qualify for NE2, and you get it through Radio Shack - you will wind up p...

The phone retails at Verizon stores for $419.99. This has been confirmed last night with the release of the marketing materials. Search on Hofo for them...

Yeah orion007 - $419 / $519 - I'm not debating the the full retail price. You may be right about that - but I'm not paying full retail - so i don't care about that.
The point I was trying to make was that the guy who was entitled to the "New Every Two" $100 credit paid $100 too much (whatever the price) by going through Radio Shack. Whatever deal he got with them - he could have gotten the same deal through VZW (if not BETTER) - but would also have gotten $100 off that lowest price (whatever it would have been for him, based on wheth...

NE2 is avail to cust who have been on a 34.99 or higher plan for 22mos or more. You can upgrade to 2yr promo price with up to an addl $100 off the 2yr promo price. It can also be combined with rebates.
...
We will see who is right on this. (I have a feeling it's me but I have been wrong before - once) All indications on this site and elsewhere point to the lowest price being $249.99 with a two year contract and the rebate. I haven't seen anyone stating that the price with be $149.99 in any case.
It just seems like strange logic to me that they give new customers less of a discount than current custmers.
Also I spoke with a rep on the phone today who told me that my phone would not work if I purchased it at a RS since it should not be released today. She also told me that I would have to pay full retail price for the phone if I did purchase it. She was wrong on both counts. I'm not saying that they don't know what they are talking about,...

Sorry gotv710 but I also believe kgray is correct. The phone is $319 with 2 year contract then it becomes $249 after rebate. NE2 (only if u qualify) at a VZW store wull give u an addl $100 off making net price $149.
We'll know for show when we buy of course but I'd be surprised if this is not the case. Also is everyone sure on this 8/11 date... I have a feeling 8/3.
