I am confused as to why you have to junk your phone to take advantage of Verizon? Almost every carrier I know allows you to register your own equipment on their network. In fact they welcome it since they do not have to subsidize the cost of the handset in that case, so I would think that you would be able to get an even better deal. As a note, when I moved from the QCP-820 to the QCP-860, I gave the old phone to my son and Airtouch gave me $50 for giving them a new customer and gave my son the best plan they had.
