Root Trading in the v

I've had my phone about a year now and its done great. My insurance plan ends end of February and if I claim it I should get a $150 gift card for the shack. I am wanting to switch to T-Mobile or simple so I can have a GSM phone for easier upgrading, but the shack doesn't have either. What to do or what other phone should I use my gift card on?
 
I can't give an opinion on changing carriers, VM is the only acceptable option I can afford. As for the phone, the Wildfire S is pretty sweet. One of the only handsets under $200 I like as much as the OV.
 
If the wildfire is 150 or less I think I might try to get that. If I don't like it it should have a higher resale value than the v at least and I can put down more money on a GSM phone like an exhibit 2 or better. :)
 
It is $199 right now, just came off of sale at $150, and it's the cause of my Radio Shack rant. Even if you need to kick in a some cash on your own, it really is a nice handset. My wife is seriously loving hers. It's the same processor and ram as an OV, but it also has a better camera w/ flash, an FM tuner, and a clearer screen. Oh, and it can run flash out of the box. If you really want to abandon the OV, I don't know of anything else close to the price that would be more worthy of your hard earned money.

Is something actually wrong with the phone? Because the way this is written sounds like an insurance scam is about to happen.
 
I make no comments about that. I was asked for an opinion, so I share said opinion. The ethics of DJ's actions are entirely on him. And yes, it can be rooted. Check the Wildfire S forum here.
