    HOW TO: Get the I-Phone/Blackberry Storm cheap if your already under contract
    I've been in Telecommunications for the last 7 yrs..... Wanted to share a little cheat/tip with you guys.
    If anyone here is under contract.....But would like to get a new phone/contract....
    You can do what i did......
    I had the older Blackberry..........Wanted the NEW Storm.......was already under contract though and didn't want to pay $500+ for the new Storm.
    I ordered NEW service through my website acnwireless.com and got the new Storm for 189 bucks with a new 2 yr agreement through Verizon.......Transferred my # to my new plan........Then I took my old phone and random # and cancelled it.....Yes I incurred roughly a $150 charge.....For terminating my contract early....But I then put my old phone on ebay....And sold it for MORE than $150.......Not much more but enough to pay my early termination fee, and have a little left over......
    So NOW I HAVE THE PHONE I WANTED (BLACKBERRY STORM) and all I did was basically trade in my old phone for it.......And paid 189 bucks for the Storm instead of 500+
    If you have an old crappy phone.....You may be able to still get 50 bucks for it on ebay.....Or if it's that old and crappy....Your 2 year contract should be coming up so you should just wait.....
    If any one has any questions feel free to pm me.....I would be more than happy to help

    Samsung Omnia > Blackberry Storm. You just made a pretty square purchase.

      You can sell your cellular contract at places such as www.celltradeusa.com to avoid paying early termination fee.

      Btw, Storm received terrible reviews. http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/...-33311850.html

          Good Luck with the Storm but I would have waited until version 2 came out. The first one has a ton a bugs ... wait until you get a call and the screen flips and freezes.
