Verizon Lowering Prices on Phones After Obliterating One-Year Contracts?

Verizon is set to eliminate one-year contracts VERY soon (this Sunday, to be exact, and the process is already underway) but it looks like they'll be giving customers a break on device pricing. Several phones were spotted with lower-than-normal full retail pricing on their website. The Thunderbolt, for instance, debuted at $750 off-contract and is now being offered for $570 – not bad, I'd say. Other older devices such as the DROID X and DROID Pro have also been taken down a notch at $399.99 and $429.99, respectively. While they aren't exactly the same prices you'd get for a juicy one-year deal, they are still significant discounts.
