Wait for 2 year contract to end for best deals
For those considering buying an Omnia (or any other Verizon phone), wait until after your 2 year contract has expired to garner the best deals. Verizon gets worried that they're going to lose you to someone else.
I purchased two Omnias (one w/ shared minutes) on the 1400 minute plan (which is what I had before). Because of the plan I was on and having a good payment history with Verizon, I received an Omnia for $49.99 ($269.99 - $70.00 rebate - $150 "contract up / good customer" discount) for the primary phone. The second phone was $199.99 after rebate, but they also gave me a credit for $80.00 towards my bill. I did have to remember and call the number on the paper they sent me (to get me to re-sign up) after I activated the new phones in order to get the $80 bill credit.
Maybe if I had waited longer they would have offered more. All I know is that I got a better deal than many folks have mentioned as the price they paid in these forums.
I have no clue what their current offers are. I got mine back in December. My 2-yr contract was up at the end of November.
