Asurion plans to offer Droid X and Incredible as Droid 1 replacement

[Bxrider117]

This is interesting news. My deductible is only $50. At least when I go to the website that is what it tells me. My Droid 1 has a loose screen but I don't to want a lessor phone as a replacement. But a DX sounds nice especially if I can get it for my deductible price.

I bet this limited supply they speak of will only be offered if the customer complains about an eris or devour. I knew a few people who already got Incredibles as a replacement but only after contacting the main office. I'm sure they sill happily hand out their supply of eris's as long as the customer doesn't complain.

Honestly though, imagine driving a Porche and paying mondo premiums and then totalling your vehicle only to have it replaced by a Taurus...because the insurance company considers the Taurus comparable because both cars have four axles and four wheels and both run off a gasoline powered engine. I bet a lot more people would be complaining then...

I'd make a big stink if they tried to give me an Eris or Devour in replacement for a Droid.

Makes me feel a whole lot better, i would of gotten a D1 on ebay or craigslist over paying $90 for an eris. But i would settle for the DX or Dinc. I still prefer the D1 cause it is still an awesome phone (now that I finally rooted to froyo )!

if there is a battery issue with a phone and it keeps dying is that a reason for a "replacement" .

Thats what I always sent mine in for. I always just said it was dying unexpectedly. I actually think I kept my old batteries too. They dont care

I wouldn't mind an X, but I prefer to have root access & total control over my property.

The X has been rooted and I am sure people are working on how to load up custom roms and we will have it shortly.

even if it has been rooted it cannot load a custom image if they enforce the same signed boot loaded that they did on the milestone which I believe has been confirmed to have been done

oops, i dropped my droid in the toilet

[Martin030908]

It's nice in theory... should you legitimately need a replacement.... but I'm not gonna give up my Droid.... even when I get my next Android phone.

It's obviously one of a kind with locked boot loaders in our future.

How do you guys have loose screens etc.? I doubt that my Droid has way better build quality than yours and I am willing to bet my Droid has lived a harder life than yours. Example would be that I used to build and upgrade cell towers. I put my Droid in my pouch with tools while I climbed all over steel structures, swapped different tools in and out of the same pouch etc. I am a Firefighter now and I can't tell you how many times I have dropped my phone while running to the truck. Sometimes I stick it in my boots that I leave at the station while I hop in my bunker gear. Other times, it has been in my leg pouch while fighting fire. A few months ago, I put it in a Seido case, I ahve dropped it and pieces go flying, battery cover comes off, battery comes out etc. I pick it up, put it all back together and all is good. The metal part that surrounds the glass has been dented and dinged and chipped and I have no problems whatsoever. I'm just trying to figure out what the heck yall are doing to them!
