Awsome deal, especially for a smartphone like a Driod, but Amazon has been doing this for at least 5years when I got a phone with the same deal when Krzr and Razr where all the rage.

Try again on Black Friday. I suspect that's what the prices are advertised for.
I will have one too, if I don't have to break my current contract with T-Mobile. sigh...
Well, on the other side, they'll have dual core Droids next year :)

One has to take the unlimited data plan with this (which is 30 USD), now thats 15 more than the minimum data plan (nice as many have wifi at work and home). So spending 15 dollars for 2 years, one would actually spend 360 dollars while buying directly from verizon one would pay 199 (for phone).

I just walked a co-worker through the checkout process, it was literally .01 total checkout for the Droid Incredible. Free 2nd day shipping, and they didn't charge sales tax on the retail value of the $600 phone. Though keep in mind he was eligible for the full upgrade.
But I think this is an awesome deal. If i didn't have a Nexus One already, I would prob go for it.

Man, why didn't Amazon personally come to your door and tell you? Maybe they could have discussed it with you and Jesus over tea! I think you should piss and moan on the internet about it.

No, if you are eligible for the upgrade, or if you sign up as a new line, it's only $.01 for all of the Droids, including the Droid 2. I can send you a screen shot if you'd like.

If you are opening a new account, or have an upgrade on an individual account, it's $0.01. If, however, you have a phone upgrade, but are on a family plan, the phone prices are as followed (checked within past 5 minutes):

HTC Incredible - $48.88
Motorola Droid X - $99.99
Motorola Droid II - $79.99

Doubtful they'd let you downgrade after purchase. $15 x 24 months is about $360 dollars. You could spend $60 to get a Costco membership where you can get the phone for $100 and sign up for the $15 plan saving you $260 over 2 years.

Just tried it. The monthly charge is steep. $59 for call and text plus $29 for a data plan. $88 a month for a 1 cent phone! :lol
