Verizon's current "deal" for many of its Android phones is to drop the initial price by $100 when you upgrade on your current line from a previous model. Alternatively, you'll get a $300 reprieve when you switch carriers or activate an additional line of service. Either way, you'll need to trade in your current phone.
