Value of New Samsung Moment

Hey guys I have a predicament and would appreciate some wise feedback...

I have a Moment with a shattered screen. I am considering using the insurance to replace it. However, I am getting an EVO on Friday. So if I claim my insurance on the Moment and have it active for a day or two, then activate the EVO...what would the value of the Moment be to someone? Should I just throw in on eBay and see what happens? Is this process legit and possible?

Does anyone see any drawbacks from this?

ya its legal but i do believe that you can on use the insurance one per year if i were you i would check into that before using the claim because if something goes wrong with your evo then your going to be s.o.l.

Do you have another phone you can use? I'm sure you could get a lot more for it if it's New, in box. If you know you are going to get an evo anyways, see if someone you know has a loaner phone to hold you over. But like HTCman said. You may just want to forgo getting a new phone through insurance altogether, just in case something goes wrong with your Evo. It is an 1st Gen HTC phone so chances are pretty high that something will be wrong with it

Thanks for the info guys. I went ahead and did it. I will cross my fingers and pray for the healthiness of the EVO. On eBay they are going for more than 200 bucks to should turn out ok.

sprint will buy back your moment and give you a 90 credit on your account. That is what i might do if the new one im getting doesnt fix my gps issues. It will be my 4th moment in 6 months. I am going to change to evo and do the buy back with sprint

use the insurance if the evo dies then u can get a fixed one. I went through 7 BlackBerry Tours since last year then i switched to a Moment. since I had done 3 replacements in 6months.
