I got red 8830 the end of February. I love it but really miss the camera. If I were to sell my 8830 (it's in perfect condition) and get the Curve it looks like I would have to pay $439 for the Curve since I am not eligable for an upgrade. It looks like the Red 8830's are going for $200-$250 on ebay (used). How would I go about getting my phone ready to sell and then getting the Curve set up with all my current info?
Would I be silly to do this or should I give it a try? I am just not sure how to go about wiping out my info and then getting it on the Curve if I sell my current one.

You might want to wait a little bit. If you are a My Account Customer (meaning you can log on to Verizon's website and view your account online), you can upgrade your phone annually.

I still can't get over the fact that Verizon don't have a photo of the device on the website...

Lol... tell me about it. I don't think they've realized it yet. I see Sprint making a mistake like this.

Someone was probably in a rush to get home lol.. Just a broken image link...

They are too busy filling the new orders for the Curve to update the Pics on the website

It's gone now

It's gone now

lol. Someone in Web dev flipped the switch too soon.

I wonder if Verizon was tracking any of the orders that may've come through. Hope so for the customers' sake.

I too am not able to use the new every 2 discount- got my pearl last December. I called Verizon and they said that the Curve was going to cost 439.00 and I would get a $50.00 rebate. Is there any further discount if I order on the web? I saw the $100.00 discount there but is that only for the "new every 2"? I hope the Curve is worth the money! Everyone on the forums seems to love it. I had the 8830 and had problems so I traded for the Pearl last December because it was literally the only other alternative with Verizon. I miss the bigger screen and full keyboard...

When I talked to Verizon, they wouldn't even try to guess at a price for the phone. Assuming the screenshot isn't a Photoshop ( - nice work if it is!), I doubt the 8330 will cost $400+.

The $100 discount is given to anyone that orders via the Web. The Treo's had the same discount. So, personally, I don't understand why ANYONE would ever walk into a Verizon store and buy anything.
