So...after talking to about a million people from Verizon CS, finally I got a girl on the phone that understood my situation ( wanted a discount on the 8830 and willing to renew 2 years, since I've ALWAYS paid full retail on all my phones with them) and let me do the 2 year renewal + discounts.
She told me to get the data plan $44.99, that way I'd get an EXTRA $100 off the device.
What I forgot to ask her is if I do pick the $44.99 - to get the discount of course - if I can, later, change to the $30 in case the other one isn't what I need.
Anyway, long story short..here's the deal I can get:

$ 519.99 device would become

$ 399 - 2 yr contract

-$100 = mail in rebate
-$100 = off because I got the $44.99 plan

= $199 for the 8830

Should I just go ahead and do it??

Thanks in advance everyone =)

Be advised if you make a change on your plan it will probably restart your contract.

Given that you can port your number to any carrier I'd walk this deal to one or two of Verizon's competitors in your area and see if they will do better.

If you change your BB data plan it does not affect your contract...did that w/my wife's phone (BIS to BES) w/no impact.

You don't need the $45 BES plan unless you are going to use the phone w/your company and they have a BES service/server. So unless you want to pay more, and unless your company offers that service, the additional $15 a month is a waste of money for you.

The $29 BIS plan is probably what you want...and it is eligible for the $100 ADC (advanced device credit), so she should not require that you get the $45 BES plan. I got the $100 credit when I got my phone w/just the BIS ($29) plan.
