    Believe it or not when I get the Storm it will be the first time I've upgraded a phone with the same carrier. All my previous phones have either been lost, destroyed or didn't work with my new carrier. I have an LG Chocolate (one of the original models) and I'm just wondering what I do with it after I get a Blackberry.

    Does Verizon give a discount on a new phone for turning in an old phone? Or do they even accept old phones that can be refurbished?

    Give this a read. If you use the Trade Up program make sure you type the word "graduate" in the promotional code line!



    SAMPLE Quote if your phone is in good shape, no water damage, no cracks and you hae the house charger for it:

    Quantity Details Credit
    Remove LG VX8500 Chocolate
    Edit/View Details $26.80
    Promotion Code Amount: $50.00
    Cash Total: $76.80

    it's a Blackberry program. you go through them, not VZW. it's simple to do.

    Remember to use the code "Graduate" for an extra $50. I believe the deal ends Nov 30 so hopefully the storm will come out before then.

    Even if it doesn't come out before 11/30, you still can purchase it within 30 days of completing the request from blackberry so you really just have to hope it comes out by Christmas or so. Just complete the request by 11/30...

    From the "How it works" part of the site:
    "One old device will be accepted for each new BlackBerry smartphone purchased."

    However, from the FAQ part of that site:
    "Can I trade in more than one wireless device?

    There is no limit to the number of devices you can trade in."

    Looks like they will gladly take your phones, but maybe not give you credit unless you buy another blackberry

    That is an awesome program. My buddy could turn in his iPhone for a roughly $300 rebate.

    I however, will only get $83 for my Q.

    yes, you can trade in as many devices as you want. you don't have to get a blackberry for each device you trade in. lol.

    The BlackBerry Trade Up Program gives you cash towards the purchase of a new BlackBerry Smartphone: FAQs
