- I have the 8830 from Verizon and I am thinking about getting an iPhone. I have liked them since they came out, but work has VZW. The only issue I face now is that my contract doesn't end until 2010. I really don't want my business to have to eat that money to end a contract. The VP is going to see what he can do. I could always offer to pay the fee to break the contract - :P
I have read the pros and cons of the phone and iPhone vs. Blackberry. I just seem to enjoy it more.
Any ideas how to switch and not get hit with a cancellation fee?08-12-08 09:16 AMLike 0 - Honestly, unless Verizon has breached their end of the contract somehow, you are stuck. You just need to decide if the iPhone is worth the switch foryou. I would really take a look at ATT's coverage for your area - I know quite a few people all over the US who have nothing but issues with ATT. However, there are people who swear by that carrier and would never switch. It's all just a personal preference.08-12-08 09:22 AMLike 0

I'm talking with work and they are trying to figure something out. The President and VP have iPhones - :P08-12-08 09:31 AMLike 0 - Well, if your company has a large account with Verizon as many corporate offices do, you may be able to work out a deal with them just to terminate your one line. Do not quote me on this, but I know that my father's company uses Nextel, and they get "special treatment" on a lot of things.
If you really want the iPhone that badly, it may be worth paying the ETF. For example: I want the Thunder/Storn, however I will not be eligible for an upgrade. I am, however, fully prepared to pay retail for the phone. You may want to consider how much the iPhone is worth to you.08-12-08 09:35 AMLike 0 - Yeah they are trying to figure something out. I know they sometimes do things when you have a business account. Maybe I can offer to pay the ETF?08-12-08 09:39 AMLike 0

I suggested we sell the BB 8830 on Ebay to pay the ETF - :P08-12-08 09:50 AMLike 0 -
It's on a BIS, we are a small company so no BES. I will just install the latest OS from VZW and be good to go.
I do like the BB, just don't like how VZW cripples things on it.
I also prefer Touchscreens. I found that out after getting the BB. I could wait for the Thunder, but I'm impatient -08-12-08 09:53 AMLike 0 - I switched from VZW to ATT for iPhone 3g. I waited to sell my Berry until i was sure of my iPhone purchase, and was surprised to find out my ETF was only 140 and then after all the credit of paying a month ahead it was only 89.10!! I sold my berry with all accessories for 175 on ebay and that more than covered the ETF
WOOHOOO i made out...except for my first iPhone bill 248!! LOL because they also charge you a month ahead.08-12-08 05:24 PMLike 0 -
I dropped it once and the outside case has some damage too it, but not much.
Why would someone pay 250-300 for it when you can now get it for what 150 with a 2 year contract with VZW? (Unless you don't want the contract)08-13-08 10:24 AMLike 0 - DuviRetired ModeratorI just have to convince my company to let me sell it - :P
