Verizon has no real "like" phones the Imagio at this time. It's not like there is something better to get a swap for.

Replacement goes by approx cost and specs... totally at Verizon's discretion. Typically 3 replacements in ~90 days (not a year). My guess is they'll offer an Omnia-II (price lowered recently) first or maybe even an old Diamond.... maybe a TP2 if you push or maybe talk them into a Moto Droid.

Your best bet will also be going to a Verizon Retailer (where you purchased) to get the alternate "like" replacement where you made the purchase. Doing it by 611 customer service might result in them wanting to push back your "free/discount phone upgrade eligibility" date.
I am actually considering a early termination fee to get a HD2... Phone is amazing and has everything I want.

I would think that the Incredible (when it comes out) would be there closest phone to the imagio. The main difference would be processor and dual flash (I don't think WM vs Android would be an upgrade or downgrade... more personal preference). It should even be the same price as the imagio when it comes out unless they lower the price on the imagio. Those phones you mentioned I would definitely consider a downgrade to the imagio except for the droid which I passed on for the imagio because I wanted WM and no physical keyboard but if/when i do this if that is the best they will give me I will suck it up and get the droid.

To do something like this you would obviously go to a retailer. The corp retailer stores can get away with a lot more than customer support can. Multiple corp reps have even told me this.

From personal exp I would say its not worth it, just ride out the time with your phone untiul your up to renew, at least thats what i wish id done.
I got the imagio in I think Nov/Dec so it is not pushing it out that far. Besides this phone is really starting to bug me. I got data call errors all last night like every 5 min.
