Default Would you buy a day later to save money?

I know that on-line has instant rebate, but would you wait a day or two to buy it at a verizon kiosk, or other independent retailer to save money if it's cheaper?

Yes. Especially since me buying this phone rides on the fact that my 2-year contract is supposed to end on November 16th or 22nd (one of those)

no, but my point was that individual stores may sell it at lower prices

sounds like it could be worth waiting to be sure the thing actually works.

If there was a large difference in price, I would wait several days. Knowing Im going to get one and as long as I've already waited. sure

$50 or $100 is actually alot for me these days. Wish it was not so. A full tank of gas or a half week of food. I will get online if cheaper.

I've only had my BB for about a month now. I like my little phone but I like the looks of the Storm too. Not crazy about the touch screen but everything else makes up for it. The trouble is, I will have to pay retail for it. But if I'm going to spend that much money I want to make sure it's worth it. I think I'll just hang around here and read everyone's posts, after they buy the Storm, and see how everyone likes it. I know there will be lots and lots of info, good and bad.

Verizon policy is that you can extend your contract and get discounted rates as long as you're within 2 months of the contract ending. Which means that you've been eligible for upgrade since September 16th or 22nd.
