Re: Tactics to get VZW to replace with ??

they'd love to lock you in for another year and $375 ETF.

it's almost September. you should easily be able to pickup any new phone at the one-year price and add a year. unfortunately that extends your contract until October 2012. So you'll have a 3G phone with specs of the HD2 from Nov 2009 until Oct 2012.

If you bitch & moan and build a strong case you might be able to pay 1-year price and NOT extend your contract. This assumes the phone was sent several replacements and works better if your phone is discontinued (imagio is not).

If the imagio is unlivable i'd buy the phone at full price and NOT extend the contract myself.

Re: Tactics to get VZW to replace with ??

they will replace it without extending your contract. just with an older android device that you probably wouldnt be too interested in and after a very lengthy process. and no they wouldnt charge you.

Or just sell your phone on ebay, still worth some money if you have all accessories, box and phone in good condition.

Re: Tactics to get VZW to replace with ??

Im in the same boat as you. I just cant take the Imagio any longer and I have already replaced this think five times. I'm approaching my one year mark on my contract too. I have all ready talked to the associates at the VZW store and they told me you can sign another two year contract at the one year mark and still get a phone for the two year contract price. I also do not have insurance. So I plan on waiting till Oct/Nov and buying a new one for the $200 price tag and selling my Imagio on ebay to some sucker for around the same price.
