From what I can gather, you would basically be signing up for a new 2 yr contract buying from amazon.
then you would be paying twice as much, and have 2 contracts.

I really think you need to contact Verizon with your questions. As Midnightdraven said, the Amazon deal is for a new phone with new contract. The only way you are going to be able to find out for sure what you options are is to ask Verizon.

I plan on doing that but its Labor Day obviously.
Im thinking of just ordering the phone now and then if I cant do w/e then I just return it. Full refund.

Did you complete this? I was thinking of upgrading my phone through Amazon Wireless as well. It is by far, the best price for the Tour. However since they are new to the wireless game, I am wary. There are some contract caveats though. It looks like they will send you a stiff penalty bill if you change your plan within the first 6 months of your new contract. See below for a list of the caveats with Amazon Wireless:

"By accepting this equipment discount, you agree that for a period of 181 days after your new equipment is activated, you will not:

- disconnect this line of service
- change your service plan to one with a lower monthly rate (e.g.: from $59.99 to $29.99)
- cancel required plan options such as BlackBerry or PDA/Smartphone data features
- fail to pay your balance due each month

If you do any of the above you will be subject to additional charges by AmazonWireless of up to $250 per device, plus applicable taxes."

I know I dont quality for the new ever two thing but that is separate from the 2 year contract. and again, what would it be if I got it from Amazon

Any update on this? Did you go forward with Amazon?

I am on my fourth Tour. This one is it. All previous devices had the trackball issues, and one had a battery problem. I do believe these issues are now fixed. It really is a great BB, especially since the problem have been resolved.
