Motorola V710

I was at my local mall yesterday & stopped into the Radio Shack to see if they had any v710s available. Fortunately, there was 1 left and I wanted to pick it up. I was told that I was eligible for upgrade on the 1st of August from where I used to work (Verizon Wireless authorized retailer). So naturally, I thought that I could just upgrade my service plan, then upgrade my phone. Apparently, this is not the case when you try to renew your service plan at Radio Shack. The guy there said that I wasn't available for an upgrade until June 2005. I had then told him about what I was told earlier regarding my service plan upgrade. He had then told me that he couldn't upgrade my plan because they don't get comped for that. What a load of crap!

Any...
