I cracked the screen on my fascinate today (I'm not a happy camper right now). It's obviously a just paper weight now. I don't carry the insurance so what ever I do is out of pocket. I would appreciate people's suggestions. Options I can think of (and I'm open to others)
1) Buy another fascinate at full retail price from Verizon
2) Buy a used fascinate off ebay
3) Get another phone from Verizon
4) Buy another brand off ebay
I have mixed feelings about the fascinate. I'm really torqued that we haven't seen 2.2 but other than that I've been pretty happy with it. My phone was not rooted. I HATE apple's business model (completely closed compared to an open environment) but like their products. I also think Apple products are over priced. I'm not up to date on the current android phones since I wasn't planning on upgrading for another year or more. I'll mention my wife has a fascinate as well so if I got another phone and wasn't really happy, I could potentially trade her for it.
I suppose I have two fundamental questions. First, is buying used a big risk and worth the potential savings? Second, if I was gong to away from the fascinate, what would you recommend?
Thanks,
