seems like the right thing to do would be to send it back. why would you use it if you were having problems with it? if you ended up using it, thats just plain wrong since you put up enough of a fuss to get a new phone out of the issue. you could try sending back just the phone, less battery and all accessories. i am not trying to be an a** in any way, sorry if i am coming off that way though...i just don't think its good when people do things like that.

you could always ask verizon though, but since they gave you a new phone they might not be too sympathetic. but you never know, they gave a me a new phone once after i spilled beer on mine. i told them the story, they laughed, felt bad and gave me a new phone free of charge...so its worth a shot
