If you wanted to upgrade while you were still in your two year plan, they would still charge you the full price for the phone. It probably isn't worth it to pay so much for an upgrade because the companies will keep coming up with newer models.

you have to wait until your plan is up in may 2009 or they will charge you a ridiculous price for an upgrade. (i wanted to upgrade to a blackberry and they wanted to charge me $500). if you break your contract there will be a fee also. your best bet is to buy a new/used phone on craigslist.com (which is sort of like ebay but in your local area so you can get things faster.. or you could just use ebay) and you might even be able to cell your chocolate phone on there too. that's what i'm going to do :)

I also have the verizon LG chocolate, very shitty phone right? i broke the first one about 15 times until they stopped selling it so they upgraded me to the newer virsion for free. My suggestion would be if you have the newer chocolate, when they stop selling it [probably in the next 3 or 4 months] break the slider. slide it 24 hours a day so it gets loose, blame it on the damn slider and they'll have to give you a new phone. :] thats my plan.

If you break the two contract, you have to pay a termination fee, which can be about $400. Then, you have to get the phone, get a contract, and everything all over again. I suggest you wait until may to save some money.

If you wait until may 2009, you will get 50 dollars off your next phone.

Good luck :]
