If you want to upgrade your phone, but you're not eligible for NE2, annual upgrade, or early upgrade, you'll have to pay full retail price for the phone.

You would only be eligible for an annual upgrade if you were the primary in your dad's family share plan. Given the circumstances, it is not likely that you are the primary number. However, all is not lost, if you are not eligible for an upgrade and you did not have insurance on your line you would infact qualify for the Lost/Stolen/Damaged program where you would receive the 1yr pricing on a device. It's not as good as the normal 2yr pricing but it's a lot better than full retail.
You'll need to have your dad authorize you on the account so you can call, or have him call on your behalf.
The 1yr pricing for Blackberrys are as follows:
Curve 8330: $119.99
Tour 9630: $269.99
Storm 9530: $169.99
Pearl Flip 8230: $149.99
All prices are after a $70 mail in rebate (except the Storm, it's a $100 MIR).

The Verizon people let us use my dad's upgrade for my phone in Fall of '08. He hasn't upgraded his phone. Does this mean I'll possibly be able to use his upgrade again?

Would my upgrade still be applicable, then? I think my line is eligible now.
Thank you so much everyone!

Irando you are correct. However, I would like to clarify some of your terminology to avoid confusion later on. Only the primary number, in fact, gets an annual upgrade every 12 months plus the New Every Two credit every 20months. The NE2 is a credit that's provided to the primary number for either $30 or $50 depending on the plan access. Secondary lines are only eligible for a standard upgrade every 20months in which there is no upgrade credit, only the discounted promotional pricing. Also, secondary lines are not eligible for annual upgrades.
So; Primary gets NE2 and Secondary's only get standard.

Or you could do what I did... Buy a phone from someone else OR on craigslist. I purchased my blackberry storm in april from craigslist and it was brand new ... and just yesterday I purchased the blackberry curve 8330 for $100 brand new...
