Refurbished???!!!! If I were you, I will fight for a brand new one since you paid insurance every month and pay $95. Refurbish is not acceptable imo.

Like another poster said a refurb is better than a cracked screen one anyways. Whats the big differemce anyways?? I got all of the stuff you get with a new one, I am not big into flashing roms or other stuff. themes at the most.

Whats so different about a refurb??

I got a referb and it runs fine after an Alltel ins. claim.

Well, when I had my 6700, all those refurbished replacement phone Alltel gave me always have problem until they finally give me the new 6800 as replacement.
Depends on how much you have already spent on the insurance so far. Let say you already paid for one year. You already paid about $70-80 on top of the $95 deductible. Sums up to around $180 already. A Brand New phone from eBay or Alltel with contract just cost about $250. You are paying not much off from it.
Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.

I guess it makes sense that way. I am not worried about it that much. If it has problems I'll take it back. Being able to just sync it on the computer and get all my contacts make makes it alot easier these days
