I hope you plan on using this as an extension of your work, otherwise you have an expensive toy.

HOWEVER i just called customer service and the rep confirmed that if i cancel the line within 30 days of getting the free phone verizon will charge me the full retail price of the phone....so about $500. basically, it's the same as going month-to-month or just buying the phone without a contract. so that changes everything. i'm not paying $500 plus $175 for a phone. cust serv did say if i keep the phone for 30 days and THEN cancel i'd only pay the $175 etf. but i don't think my friend will wait 30 days for his bberry...he's addicted. however since i'm not yet a bberry addict so i might let him use one storm while i'll continue using my current phone for 30 days and THEN cancel the extra line when there is no fee. talk about complicated. so i have a friend who wants a bberry cuz he cracked his screen last week. i want one too so i was going to add a line to my family plan and take advantage of the bogo offer. then immediately cancel the extra line and give my buddy the phone. he’d pay me the etf of $175 and we’d both have bberrys for about $200 each.

One of my lines is due for an upgrade but they would only give me one Storm because the other line is not up for upgrade. They told me I could buy another Storm at full price or add a third line to my account to get the second phone for free.

The new OS set to release on March 31st or whatever, this is another BB and not another Storm version correct? Just reading up. If it's another Storm, I must wait. Otherwise might as well get it now. I don't need two though, how about 1/2 off for me, I don't want two!! So, I want a Storm.
