well the cdma phones have a ESN number that is entered into the system and that's how it is registered. the only reason i want to get it from verizon is that it gets me 1 year warranty so in case the phone sucks balls i can have verizon fix it and i can go and argue with them. the contract is not over yet, i am still under it until march 2006 but i am eligible for the upgrade.
