I just got mine for free!

I was holding off for my 2 year renew. My dad had just got one for $99 last month. I wasn't supposed to be eligible until next month, but I went to the Verizon site and it said I was eligible . When I tried to do the on line 2 year renew, the web site tried to tell me it was $199 even after the upgrade discount. I went to a different page on the same site:

and there was a $100 discount for an on line order. I tried to do it online, and they told me it would be $99 even though I was supposed to get an additional $100 credit towards a new phone. I finally called *611 and told them I was ready to do my upgrade. He first tried to tell me I was going to have to pay $99 but would get $99 credit towards the service. However, I did not want to pay, the big bucks, for the Internet service, yet, so they gave me the phone for free! I got the $100 on line discount, and the $100 credit towards a new phone. I kinda feel guilty.

I can't wait to get it. It should be here by Tuesday. I am a little apprehensive because I am a big fan of the Palm platform, (Are we allowed to say that here? ). I am particularly worried about having to spend more money to add a GPS program (any suggestions for a newbie). I have been using Mapopolis, but I have heard they were going out of business. But, I couldn't beat the price on the phone.

I know I am a cheepscate.
