Asurion claim

[vargo]

I knew this day will happen... I broke my TP2, the screen is shot. I blame my dog but lets not go there.

I have VZW and the Asurion people are offering me the Samsung Omnia 2 for 89 dollars.

I been doing lots of research on the phone and I do see some good and some bad.

Bad, The lack of good roms and lack of RAM speed.

Good, 8gb of memory better camera...

My VZW 2 year upgrade is not in till Nov 11th 2011.

I want some input on what you think about the Omnia 2.
Any feedback will help

thanks.

I'd take it but I don't use the physical keyboard much on my TP2.
Too bad they don't have any more TP2s.

You could get the Omnia2 and sell it or trade it for a used Verizon TP2.

Not that it's much help but I had the original Omnia and it was a great phone. There is also potential other ROM's at other sites, not just here, not that I'm telling you to go elsewhere for it, but there is that option. I personally would grab it for $89, it doesn't mean you're signing up for a new contract, and then try to trade/sell it for a TP2 like HD said.

Thanks guys for the help... I will think about the selling aspect of it. But I will give it try and see how I would like it. I did find some ROMS but much to choose from. I will miss the Energy's ROMS the most. Ether way Its been fun hanging out in the TP2 forum.

under the category of curiosity killed the cat, has anyone tried saying that since the TP2 is a world phone with a keyboard that either the Droid 2 Global or Droid Pro should be eligible replacements?

You make a very good point. I should of thought about that before I committed to the Omnia 2.

no way they'd do that.(replace tp2 with new R2D2s) and by the way its conditional tense so its would instead of will. i thought the omnia 2 had the same specs as the tp2 (almost)

They tried to give me a different phone saying they had no more TP2s left. I told them no. 2 days later I had a refurb TP2.

Interesting... but how long ago?
