So the only phones I'm interested in right now are the Moto X Pure and Nexus 6P. I have 3 lines on Verizon, 2 of which are on unlimited data still (wife and I), and I have my mom on my account on a 2GB line. My unlimited line is out of contract (month to month now), wife's unlimited line is on contract until May 2016, mom's 2GB line was just renewed a few months ago. We've been transferring all of our upgrades to my mom's 2GB line to keep renewing our contracts while keeping unlimited data.
I was originally planning on getting an iPhone 6S to renew my contract and then sell/trade towards the 6P, since I can get a 16GB iPhone for $250ish (after the retarded $40 activation fee and taxes) and it should resell for around $600 new. and pretty much cover the cost of a 64GB 6P. There's also the LG G4 that I can get for $150ish on contract right now with a promo they have going on, along with a $200 gift/Visa card rebate, and then sell the phone for around $300. Which I'll spend about the same after adding another $100 to ($300+$200) in order to get the 64GB 6P, so comes out about the same either way, but Apple doesn't get a sale if I get the LG, lol.
Or I'm considering dropping my line and financing a 6P through Project Fi. I use at least 4-5 GBs/month though, so not sure that will save me much money and I really like to tether to my laptop occasionally when I'm away for work or doing school work on the road. I would prefer to go to T-Mobile, but alas I can't get the 6P or Moto X Pure still through T-Mobile and would have to come $450+ out of pocket for either phone.
My current phone is an HTC M8, which I'm still happy with and don't mind keeping for a while if need be. I just replaced the USB port and battery in it, so it's basically good as new now. It will only get me about $150-$200 if I sell it too, so doesn't help much if I leave Verizon.
So what suggestions do you all have for getting these phones? If I'm going to stay on Verizon, I want to at least extend my contract. I may just ask my mom if she wants to upgrade her Moto X (2013) right now so I can at least extend my contract and I'll keep my M8 until I can upgrade again next May. I'm sure once the 6P supply issues get ironed out in the next month or two, I'll be able to get it on Swappa or something for a bit cheaper too. I'd rather not buy one now when Google is making it a PITA to order one and everyone else is just flipping (price gouging) them just to exploit the supply issues they have.
Sorry for the wall of text, it took me just a couple mins to type all that and it didn't seem like much, lol.
