Is it worth it to try to get this crushed phone repaired?

[jcb3030]

Any ideas where to look for used ones? Craiglist and Ebay...anyplace else?

[Detonation]

For the price and hassle (and possible future issues) of having it repaired, I'd just look for a used one. Seems like they go for $150 or less. I'd start with craigslist first, then check ebay. Wherever you buy it, make sure it has a clean ESN, and if you do go the CG route, I would recommend doing the transaction in a Verizon store and activating before the seller leaves.

wow that pic makes me cringe.

Very impressed it still boots up. I'd actually try to find someone who might be able to replace the screen. A used incredible is still pretty expensive...

how far into your contract are you?

I'd be hesitant to repair it, because you're going to spend $100-150 fixing it, and if there is some internal damage that doesn't become apparent until a month or two later... then you just wasted that repair money. Similar to water damage... you can dry out a phone and it functions perfectly, then all of a sudden weeks or months later something gets shorted out. What are the used ones going for in your area?

Thats BS. While it may be the case with water damage, if everything working after a drop / crush, everything will work later. These are SSD devices, and unless something in the phone physically breaks, there should be no internal damage.

Not idea on this phone, but I just today replaced the glass digitizer on my OG Droid myself. It was a PITA towards the end witht he ribbon cables, but I only spent $40 for the glass and tools. You might want to look up how to do it to your phone if your technically inclined. Anyone who's built models as a kid and has steady hands should have the steady hand skills to do it.

Insurance other then renters / homeowners / bought off the net insurance is a scam.

Point being if you had Asurion, and paid them $6 / month, that's $72. Pretty much the same cost to have someone else fix the phone. Over 2 years that $140, which will easily buy you a used replacement that's probably better then their crap, no warranty refurbs.

So don't sweat the no insurance thing.

I'm not eligible for an upgrade for another year.

How much should a used Incredible cost nowadays?

$140 to $240 according to swappa(android). Not too bad.
