Upgraded early through Verizon
Well I made the leap. I am with Verizon and not eligible for an upgrade until July 2011 but called customer service and requested to upgrade to the Droid X. She told me they had planned on sending me a promo to upgrade early in November, and said she would need to get her supervisor's permission (but she never got off the phone to ask it) and proceeded with ordering me a Droid X, which I activated last evening. Storm 2 - it's been real and it's been fun, but I'm leaving for greener pastures. I'll be selling my Storm 2 to my brother, who just had his Curve crap out on him, so he's happy and I'm happy.
I thought I would let anyone know - just because you aren't eligible for an upgrade does not mean you won't get one if you call and ask. I didn't have to threaten or get angry or upset. Ask and ye shall receive.

DId you need to extend your contract again? I am so against the offers they provide me given I am on Storm number 9 and with the defects this current has I could get another replacement which I have refused. Spent too many hours configuring my Storm already. I want them to recognize the poor reliability of this device and support their customers without costing additional money for hardware. Mine still within 1 year warranty
