Droid 1 died today. D2 replacement?

[j0e]

I've been strugging with my Droid 1 for quite some time now - at first I was experiencing the headphone jack issue where random songs would start playing if it moved even the slightest bit. About a month ago, it stopped charging with a car charger and would only charge with the wall charger when angled a certain way. Well, as of today it won't even charge. I had to have a friend charge up my battery just to turn the phone on.

I am really excited about the Droid 2 coming out tomorrow and would love to leverage my way into getting one as a replacement for my dead Droid 1. I also have been reading that VZW is listing the Droid 1 as "out of stock." Has anyone had any success upgrading to a new phone when their old phone dies? If so, how did you go about doing this?

Any help is much appreciated!

Ummmm....yeeaahh! I highly doubt they'll be replacing your Droid 1 with the Droid 2. Especially with the plentiful Droid 1 refurbs sitting in warehouses. Not to mention, they'll want to issue those Droid 2 devices to new/upgrading customers. Wishful thinking though.

Your best bet would be to call various Verizon stores and asking if they have Droid's in stock. If they don't, tell them yours broke and pray you'll get a Droid 2.
