    just get one and you will forget about the price.
    Price is long forgotten after the quality is had over and over.

    Good suggestions, I've purchased a few devices from Swappa and got great deals from there.

    Or get a new one from Ebay. Okay, they claim they are new and they are packed up like they are new. I guess it's questionable if they really are, but they are returnable.

    Just make sure it's the CDMA version for VZW, Z30, Model STA100-3.
    And it supports the Qi wireless charging standard....

    eBay is a great place to get one at a good price. Not many come up for sale but I picked one up that was in mint condition and only 3 months old. Got it for $210. No problems and is a definite upgrade from my previous Z10. As mentioned, just make sure you get the STA 100-3 for VZW.

    VZW Z30 STA 100-3 / 10.3.1.2582

    There are only a few unsold VZW Z30s out in the wild now. No need to reduce the price, its not like a replacement model is taking sales away.

    But your contract with Verizon only expires if you want it too. My Husband has an upgrade and I think Verizon offered him a Z30 for free...for two year renewal. May be worth the renewal? Then is also covered...

    I think it's better to just go ahead and get it off Ebay and save your upgrade. I just activated a z30 purchased on ebay, no problems whatsoever, my upgrade is intact, and Verizon is offering a discount of $15.00 if your contract has expired. It lasts until you upgrade.

    I used the Edge program to swap both mine and my mom's Z10s for Z30s. I have a plan over 6GB so the monthly payment of ~$21 was less than the bill credit of $25 for having an edge device on a More Everything plan 6GB and up. They're basically paying me $4/month per line for upgrading. This was way more cost effective than using the upgrades.

    I bought my Verizon z30 on swappa in like new mint condition for $240. It's been perfect and I didn't have to renew my contract on top of it.

    My Z10 is sta100-4 on Verizon. Running 10.3.1.2072. I'm reading sta100-3 through the thread. Do I get an option on this? Z30 the way to go? Leap not strong enough and way over two years on my contract. Get it from big red or Ebay? Thanks everyone!

    That is the version you need if you intend to stick with Verizon. If you like the Z10, other than the size/weight, I would expect you would like the Z30. I did expect the size/weight to be an issue and it was NOT for me. The battery life is clearly improved but not swappable. I have to admit that my old eyes do not detect the screen differences.

    Cases are becoming harder to find but are still out there.

    I purchased mine privately but met at a Verizon corporate store to assure it was a legal device. I skipped a verizon purchase in order to maintain my UNlimited data.

    That's a huge point. I still have that covered contract. 100-4 uses certain bandwidths. I've looked but not seen a 4 on ebay. Lots of Canadian and off brands. Such a quandary. Could have swapped out six months ago but thought a z50 might be coming down the road. The leap isn't enough and the passport isn't available on verizon. Feel trapped.

    Thats what I did, keeping my granfathered unlimited data/voice/text/mms, well worth it, at one point while on a trip, I logged 16gb of data in a 2 week period, watching the news and also view streamed Netflix movies, and grabbed a few from HD Cinema.....

    My home dsl isp is quite slow and so I use the Z30 and its UNlimited data to download leaks, autoloaders and blitz files. They generally run about 2gigs. So I burn through data fast during those occasions. And, yup, on vacation I tend to use it more.

    Thanks to the posters above for mentioning Swappa. I'd been pulling my hair out trying to find a way to buy a Z30 for Verizon that isn't the ridiculous VZW full retail price.

    I bought the z30 from blackberry website but it is unlock meaning that it only works on at&t network and t-mobile network. I don't like Verizon

    Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered one from Verizon before they are gone. Love my Z10 but couldn't go lateral with the classic and the PP seems a little too big.

    I upgraded from Z10 to Z30 this week. Upgraded through Amazon for Verizon. Cost 79.99 through Amazon vs 199.0 through Verizon.
