The ESN number of the phone can be used to move your service to a new phone
and back to the old one again at no charge (assuming the Verizon account
webpage system works right). Thus, you could buy the new phone from outside
Verizon and try it with returns covered by the outside store policy. The
advantage is you don't make a new 2 year commitment to Verizon. If the new
fancy phone sells on eBay, I have had good luck occasionally buying
something on eBay, and then re-selling the same item back on eBay with less
than a 10% loss. One time I made a profit!
