So here's the skinny, i have two bionics, one is mine one is my wife's old bionic. Well we lost my wife's and so i made an asurion claim which I never finished, i now have someone who will buy the replacement bionic for 225 which puts 125 in my pocket. However Moore they are offering a RAZR which I've kinda always wanted, not to mention I'm fed up with this whole update BS.

So should i take the RAZR and sell my bionic or see if maybe they'll offer something else like the nexus?

No I'm not trying to pull a fast one either I've had Tec insurance on two lines for six years and only used it once.

So what do you all think? Ditch the bionic or stick it out

That's a good idea... I was just going to ask for the white personally but getting a maxx would be killer

The maxx is worth like 100 more so you could get that and sell it to buy a note 2 or maxx hd

I wish I knew about claiming usage of an extended battery when getting a replacement from Asurion. My girl power slammed her bionic all pissed off and they no longer carry bionics and gave us the only option of taking a RAZR... wish it was a maxx. They would not give us a maxx and at the time I didn't know about telling them about using an extended battery (which she didn't)

it worked they gave me the razr maxx and a replacement headset. with a 16gb card since I lost the one that was in there.

I could sell the razr maxx couldn't I... then buy a nexus or wait for the note 2.... I have one more upgrade I can use and I was going to use it on the note 2.... hm..

what about the razr HD though, no release date as of yet correct?

Congrats on the maxx. They had the date for oct 18 but they're holding it for antenna issues

yeah and honestly I'm way more stocked about the note 2 than the maxx... either way I'm probably going to be selling my bionic, with lapdock, zagg two cases two batteries and vehicle mount very very soon... i.e. tomorrow.

Asurion here i come too. But doesn't asurion request require defective bionic back? Or add cost of bionic to your bill if you don't return it?

because the phone was lost they do not require it back... if you simply report it as lost they add the MEID to a list of locked devices on the VZW network which doesn't allow you to use them on any kind of verizon (or prepaid that uses vzw) towers. that's why you see all those bad esn phones on ebay, they were either lost, stolen, or the account not paid properly.

Well my first Bionic was a good phone. Never had any Data drops or anything like many people had. Well i got that one wet and had to make a claim a few months back. The replacement has been crap. I should have probably called and complained but i didnt. So half the time i just switch it to 3g mode which defeats the purpose of a 4g phone i guess. . But maybe its time to make another claim. I did drop it a while back and cracked the screen. Just hate making claims.

but if you bought the extended battery and installed it yourself, you don't need to retrn that. Return the phone as you bought it from VZW, which was with the standard battery.
