From there you can follow the "Get a Droid Now" link and go to a Verizon Wireless page to purchase a Droid. You'll nowtice that they also have the $149.99 option for existing customers who have a NE2 credit and will re-up their contract for 2 years. From the looks of it, this is not a Sears thing, this is a Verizon thing.<br><br><a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/droid.jsp?page=droiddoes&cid=SPC-DROID-GSEARCH" rel="nofollow">http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/droid.jsp?page=droiddoes&cid=SPC-DROID-GSEARCH</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 12:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PSA: Sears charging $50 less for new DROID activations than Verizon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</guid><description><![CDATA[*notice]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 12:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PSA: Sears charging $50 less for new DROID activations than Verizon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</guid><description><![CDATA[You are wrong.  Sears and Walmart are doing it for $150 for NEW Verizon customers.  Verizon only does it for EXISTING customers.  Of course it's a "Verizon thing" by proxy, but you can't get the same offer directly from Verizon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kedmond]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 2:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PSA: Sears charging $50 less for new DROID activations than Verizon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why does verizon require a mail in rebate.

If Sears can do it cheaper,than go for it.at&t has better service and 3G (HSDPA in my case) in the rural areas of New York.  Can Verizon match that?  NO!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederixk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 8th 2009 7:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PSA: Sears charging $50 less for new DROID activations than Verizon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</guid><description><![CDATA[Best Buy did price match it for me, when I went in to get my preordered droid today.  $179 for an existing customer. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 2:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PSA: Sears charging $50 less for new DROID activations than Verizon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/psa-sears-charging-50-less-for-new-droid-activations-than-veri/</guid><description><![CDATA[Best buy pricematched the 149 price for me.

The sales person asked me if I was interested in purchasing one.  I said "yes".  Then, she asked me to come over to her desk to get started.  I told her that I was actually going to purchase it from Sears though and I was only in the store to check it out in person.  She asked "why Sears?".  I told her about the $149.99 deal.  She called a manager and he looked it up on the Sears website.  Once he verified that it was legit, he told her to match their price.  So, I got it for $149.99 at Verizon (after the $100 mail-in rebate, of course).  Win!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank Verdi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 13th 2009 10:24PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
