Verizon wants to lock us in for two more years, so we’re eligible for subsidized cell phones again. I could stand my crap cheapo Nokia no longer; we took the bait.

Mine will be the LG VX8300, hers the Razr Maxx VE. They’re due to arrive tomorrow.

Only my line was eligible for the “new every two” discount, but she wants the more expensive phone, so I ordered each under the opposite line. I called Verizon to confirm we could switch assigned numbers on the phones, so hopefully that’ll go off without a hitch.
