Phone Replacement

Hello everybody,

I just want to say in advance that I have searched other similar topics and none of them seem to fit my dilemma, but please do forgive me in advance if there happens to be a very similar topic (aka I am new here.).

So here goes: I have a HTC Droid Incredible and I got my android phone around August of 2010 (with a 2 year contract with verizon). Now, about 2 weeks ago I had to send my phone in for a replacement and ta-dah! I got a totally new Droid Incredible, which I was very pleased.

The problem is, I took my phone out of my pocket about three days ago and there I saw, a huge crack in the screen. Now my touch isn't working and basically I can't even get past my lock screen. Truthfully, I do not know what caused the crack but in the end, does it really matter? My warranty on the phone is void now, and it's not like Verizon is going to fix broken glass.

So I know that money doesn't grow on trees, and I'm having a hard time coming up with a compromise with my parents. I don't want to pester them about a new phone, but that really seems to be the only way. Does anybody know some Android phones that may be a little cheaper than usual but aren't total crap? (forgive my language)

Anyhow, thanks for bearing with me by reading this whole post! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
You can buy a replacement screen for about 50 bucks. There are videos that show you how to replace the screen. Just giving you another option than getting a new phone. :)

Wait, are you serious? The thing is, the crack isn't just a "scratch". If i move my hand over the glass, I can't feel anything. However, I can clearly see the crack and the touch screen doesn't work where the crack is. All of this can be solved with a replacement screen?
