I chatted with \u201cCharity\u201d on the Verizon Wireless\u2019 site and she offered me $30 off the the Incredible if I bought an accessory. Discounting a phone I can\u2019t get for month!? Seems weird.<\/p>\n<p>Verizon\u2019s strategy is simple: blitz the market with powerful Android-based smartphones, which offer a great web experience, cam\/camera, video, music \u2013 you know, the stuff brought to us first by the iPhone \u2013 and get all those customers to sign up for two years of Verizon wireless. Verizon could care less which phone you buy. It wants to send you those monthly bills which include a data plan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dodgeretort.com\/internet\/droid-x-debuts-verizon-continues-smartphone-blitz\">Article continued
