Business account pricing: $249.99, plus $75 bill credit for new 2 year.
Total $174.99
:D

Should I get TEP or WPP insurance?
Find out if your home insurance policy has a rider that covers cell phones. Mine does (Ameriprise) and it covers all electronics (TV, Computer, Laptop, Mobile Phones, iPods, etc) at $40 per year for up to $2500 per occurrence with no deductible.

What will $499 do for me?  VZW sells it for $649 for month to month.
They want $149 for $649 of coverage, less 10%=$134.
VZW wants $5.18 for WPP, or $124 over 2 years.
You're forgetting a crucial point. Verizon insurance sends you a (simetimes poorly) refurbished replacement, which you can just as well buy online for $300-400. Whereas Securranty will send you a check for $499. There's no comparison here, Securranty is by so far and away a better deal that I grimace anytime someone tells me they pay for their carriers exorbitant insurance.

Much more expensive and no loss/theft coverage.

This article tells me that if you live on the west coast you might want to try Fry's instead of the Sprint stores.

BTW, if you pay the upgrade price with Amex why would the warranty benefits not kick in?

Possibly because you are not paying the whole cost on the CC?

I thought that too, but after all you are, its just a discounted price.

I believe phones are excluded in the T&C.

24 hour update.
The phone is great, but there's a heavy learning curve from Palm OS Android 4.0 and I'm just starting to figure things out.

Still missing my physical keyboard, although I do appreciate auto-correct.  I do miss some of the simplicity of the Centro (contacts, memos, etc) and I miss my luach app but I can tell I will love this phone.

Voice commands are great and 4G is amazing!

BTW they sell a battery+spare charger for the same price ($39) as just the battery alone.  Came out to $25 after corp discount.

Can you use it with one hand?

Still missing my physical keyboard...

I also got the Galaxy Nexus. I'm a long-time blackberry user and was worried about losing my keyboard as I sometimes write long emails. I tried swype for a couple weeks back in October and was pretty happy with it - was able to type quickly. On the other Android phones it comes pre-installed and is free. But after I got the Galaxy Nexus, I realized it's not yet available for Android 4.0. I'd recommend giving it a try when available.

I'm most concerned with the battery life on this phone. I'll see how that pans out...

Just got my Nexus! After 2.5 years on BB, its entering a new world. I'm also curious about battery life, but extended battery from VZW.com is on sale now for $25. Think its worth it?
