Wanting to switch from BlackBerry Bold to iPhone 4....HELP!!!

I have a BlackBerry Bold and after owning it for about a year, I'm starting to regret it. It's not meeting up to my expectations and I would like to switch to the iPhone 4. The only problem is that I have a two-year-contract and it doesn't expire until October of next year.
Is it possible to go into my local Verizon store and swap my BlackBerry for the iPhone before my contract ends? If it is possible, do I have to pay the full retail price for the iPhone or can I buy it for the two year contract price like I did with my BlackBerry?
Or am I stuck having to wait until next year when my contract expires to switch phones?
Thanks for the help!!!

You'll have to wait until you become eligible to upgrade in October to get the discounted 2 year contract pricing for the iPhone 4. You do have some options, though.
1. You can purchase an iPhone 4 on Craigslist or eBay (or from a friend) and activate it on your line with no penalties. This will cost a lot more than the 2 year contract pricing, though.
2. If you're having issues with your BB, and are out of your 1 year warranty period but do NOT have insurance on it, you can look into Verizon's CPO program. http://support.vzw.com/information/cpo_replacement.html
3. If you are on a family plan with a line that is eligible to upgrade currently, you can use their upgrade to get the iPhone 4, and then let them use your upgrade when you become eligible (with their permission, of course)
4. Number 3 will also work with anyone willing to let you use their upgrade.

  • HT201269 how do i move all my data from blackberry bold 9700 to iphone 5

    Hi,
    I want to move from Blackberry Bold 9700 to an Iphone 5 but I want to save all my current data on my blackberry and move it all to the iphone 5.  How can I do this?  Many thanks for any help you can give me.

    Follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.  You'll have to sync after restoring from backup to return you music, apps and other iTunes media to your new phone.

  • Switch from blackberry q10 to blackberry 9720

    ive been trying to switch from blackberry q10 to 9720 with no luck.any help will be appreciated

    Nevermind, I did some more searching, Googling, etc. and found out that BlackBerry is not able to be downgraded from 10 OS to earlier devices.  A bit of a shame really.  My boss had deciced he wants to go back to his 9900 and is expecting me to transfer all his data.  Looks I've got a few hours worth of typing ahead of me.

  • HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.

    How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.  This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5.  You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

    Hi, Ira_Morozova, and welcome to the Community,
    Skype does not have any means to pay for a single product via multiple sources.  Think about these strategies as a work-arounds:
    Add enough credit to cover the cost of the subscription you wish to purchase. 
    When you purchase the subscription, designate the payment method as credit.
    Remember to change the payment method to something else shortly thereafter so your subscription renews automatically, unless you do not wish to do it this way.
    Or,
    Purchase the subscription using credit, but in smaller time increments until your credit balance is reduced as far as possible, and then change the payment method to something else.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • HT1386 How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Just switched from Samsung Epic to iPhone 4s. Contacts were filed by first name, which I prefer.  But on the iPhone it's by last name.  Is there a way to change that?

    Just switched from Samsung Epic to iPhone 4s. Contacts were filed by first name, which I prefer.  But on the iPhone it's by last name.  Is there a way to change that?

    What I found: Go into SETTINGS - Click onto "MAIL,CONTACTS, CALENDARS" then scroll down to CONTACTS and you will see SORT ORDER and DISPLAY ORDER you can change it to first, last or last, first..
    Hope that helps.

  • HT204053 sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

    sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - if you would like help then you will need to provide more information than 'can't import' e.g. how are trying to sync content and what happens when you do it ?
    You have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and your phone appears in it when it's connected to your computer ? If not then see if this troubleshooting page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    You should be able to sync music and films/TV programmes by selecting your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your content
    Is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
    If you haven't synced your phone to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

  • Transfer all data from blackberry bold 9780 to iPhone 5

    I have a iPhone 5 16 GB recently purchased, I need to transfer all data from the Black Berry Bold.
    I need all contacts, documents, pics, E-Mail set-up etc. basically everything.
    I need a seamless transition from one to the other. I have not even opened up the iPhone box yet.
    Does anyone have a simple easy way to do this?
    Only thing I have to work with is the iPad!
    Was thinking of iCloud but have no Wi-Fi connection here.
    Please help?

    If anyone is still struggling with this problem for the iphone 5 I just figured out how to fix it! it wasn’t easy because google sync doesn’t work on a blackberry anymore and outlook doesn’t help if you don’t got it so I had to go the long way and spend 2hrs of my time figuring it out while the actual solution only takes 5 mins!
    So I downloaded an app called "Phone to Phone transfer" there’s other apps like this one but this is the only one that’s available on both blackberry and iOS so its the one I used and it worked, read: 3 steps to transfer all contacts from BlackBerry to iPhone 5
    1) Download the app on your blackberry and sign-up for an account i used an email i barely use and its free so it was all quick and easy
    2) Sync your contacts on your blackberry using the app
    3) Download the same app this time on your iPhone and use the same log-in details as you used when you signed up on your blackberry
    4) Sync contacts again and press download and... that’s it! all your contacts are now on your new iPhone.

  • Switch from BlackBerry Q10 to BlackBerry Bold 9900

    I need to transfer from a BlackBerry Q10 to a BlackBerry Bold 9900 and retain the data in the Remember app on the Q10.  Any idea how to do this?

  • I want to switch FROM iCloud to Google Calendar

    So, I've discovered that I'm not terribly fond of the iCloud calendar.  I used the MobileMe calendar for forever, but with the switch to iCloud, I'm just done.  My work uses Google calendar, so I want to switch to that, but I don't want to have to re-input all of my appointments/meetings.  Is there a way to sync my iCloud calendar with Google-- even just on a one time basis?  I see lots of posts regarding going the other way, but not leaving iCloud.  I will continue to use iCloud for email-- I just want to switch the calendar.  Also, I don't want to use iCal, but Google's GooCal instead.
    Oh, BTW, I don't know if it matters, but I have an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad at home and a PowerBook at work (complete with 5 million firewalls and filters-- I work in the public schools).  I access my calendar from all of my devices-- and I need to be able to share my "home" calendar with my husband...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!!
