Yeahhh buddy!
Taken with my crappy blackberry curve replacement phone. Got a new digitizer coming in the mail though. I wasn't going to risk the GB update being applied to a new phone sent to me via insurance claim, plus the digitizer was $30 vs $100~ for a stupid claim.
Hopefully by the time my screen gets here, the kernel source will be out, OC'ed, and Kingdom will get the OC'ed kernel and absolutely rape.
Look! Sense 3.0 though!

Your insurance comes with a 100 bux deductible?

Sprint is $100 through Insurian. But if you bug them about it. They will give you a new one, vs a refurb. Also, depends on what agent you get.

I have never been so lucky, ever. In fact I'm pretty pissed about Sprints service. I wish they had the Evo Shift on USCC and I'd switch in a heartbeat. Plus, with USCC launching their 4G network in my area, I'm definitely switching when its done, Evo Shiftlikemodel or not.

Pretty harsh damage. I've dropped mine a couple times and never done anything close. How did you manage to cause the screen to shatter like that?

Had a samsung moment, after getting out my truck I forgot it was on my lap. It didn't drop far but shattered in a similiar manner, sprint store replaced the screen and it worked perfect. Free of charge

i don't have insurance on my phone. about 2 months after i got it, the volume-down rocker broke and stopped responding. took it to sprint, they charged me $30, and and 2 business days later, i got a brand new one..
i guess my case was a bit different, as it would have probably qualified as a manufacturing defect as opposed to accidental.

Hopefully you had insurance.

Yeah it sucks. I have insurance, but i'm guessing because the phone is so new, I made a claim but I have to fax them information and do all this extra stuff. I never had to do this when I made a claim with the TP2.
Ouch, I'm known to do that sometimes leave me phone on my lap and get up out the car. Luckily I normally have some full body protection and a screen guard on my phone.
Looks like it still works though.
yeah I have a screen protector coming, will get here today (a bit too late lol). I am looking for a case, im picky when it comes to those. Not much out right now other than a limited ebay picking and the one from verizon. Which I just now found out they make in a clear color, looks like I will have one for my replacement...
I have the body glove and zagg screen, and as sad as this is to say I have actually drooped mine twice and you can't even tell. It still looks fresh outta the box. Good luck with the replacement to from what I've heard VZW is still sold out.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
sorry to say, but i dont think ur the first casualty.
also insurance ftw.
I bought the silicone cover from Verizon, I have not dropped my phone yet hopefully it protects the phone if I drop it.
Hopefully Otterbox will make one for this phone like the one for the iphone.
dropped my x10 and nothing happened. wouldn't wanna try it with my incredible now

That is really cool but it's up to $32.00 + $7.00 shipping now with 14 bids and 3 days 7 hours left to go!
I would love to have one but for a battery cover that's to pricey for me
gadget!
Only an idiot would pay that price for a real red back.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using Tapatalk
now it's up to $63.37 with 22 bids!
gadget!
That is ridiculous
It's certainly not...around $50 for a rare pre-production accessory on a popular phone? Sounds reasonable to me...
It's all about personal preference, it is rare, it should be kept and not used due to rarity, now, if your looking for just the red back door, take yours off, and paint it.
I'd pay $50 for the door, and use it!
Sold for over $100... lol
Wow I got mine for $19.95
Uh...where?
Well I got it (not the one from ebay, but he had another I made a separate deal for), and it was totally worth it:

Mouth is salivating, haha...but seriously, i cant find anymore on the internet can you please direct me to your "source" haha
...nevermind, haha...i reread it

If you got problems with your phone take it back to sprint. insurance or not

I dont know if its just the store I go to (Kaahumanu Maui, if youre lucky enough to be here) or if its sprint policy to help the customer out. When i first got my phone in June I jacked it up starting with getting water under the screen from the retarded protector kit, and secondly messing up the root process and bricking it. I took it back and told them Norton antivirus kept asking for a password which i never did put in (really did happen) but I didnt mention it happened during the root process which screwed the whole thing up... They tested it it wouldnt get past fastboot so they Just handed me a new phone no questions asked and for $0.
Screw up two on my part. I have been trying to get hdmi working with no luck. So the genius I am decided to clean the port with a qtip soaked in alcohol. It didnt work. So I unrooted and took it back to the store. Told them the Hdmi isnt working and I dont have insurance. They check it out and see the water indicator inside the phone (right next to the hdmi port! so dont clean it with anything wet) was red, also the hdmi connections were corroded. But the tech tells me dont worry usually you would have to just buy a new phone but this is what we will do. Pay $35 now and we will say we fixed your phone, then you can add insurance as its allowed after a repair. After that they just reported that I needed a new phone haha so i got a new phone for about $50. Im cancelling the insurance after a couple months and I get the new one all rooted and set up . Hope your experience is as good as mine.

Or...just call, complain about the slow data speeds and they'll just offer to swap out your phone, since that's obviously cheaper than actually fixing their network.
I believe I have a logical explanation. I about 2 months ago, found a sprint store that would do service on my phone. While there they informed me that sprint had up until that time, (about 2 months ago) had a very loose warrenty exchange policy. The phone could have physical damage, and as long as you reported a "Warrenty Issue" they would exchange it. They tightened it up, any signs of physical damage they won't service it. If the power button area gets 2 cracks, they won't service it. It was nice of them to do that little paperwork shuffle to get you insurance. good luck!

Isn't it pretty?

Some luck. Since launch day I had the same Evo, never replaced. And on the day the Evo 3D comes out, this happens to me. Maybe it's a sign to upgrade.....

Ouch...a major fracture to the screenus operatus.
Just called Sprint and 4 other stores and they told me they don't repair screens anymore because of a changed policy. Whatever.

They didn't replace it. I just got it for 218 all together with a full upgrade. And if I don't like it, or the SGS2 is announced for sprint, I can return it and get everything back in 30 days. I just bought a replacement screen for 15 bucks on ebay, I'll repair it my damn self

Be careful...those screens don't come with new adhesive for the back of the screen and getting the broken one off without destroying the old is nearly impossible.
have fun with your evo 3d bro
They must have changed the policy because I called about my broken screen and they said any physical damage and you have to pay the $100 deductible for a new phone. Weak....
"praise the lord and pass the ammunition"
Enjoy your new Evo
Ouch ! That is not sexy at all,but it's nice that you have the evo 3D. Congrats! !!
Just to update, although bootloader is still locked, the 3VO is worth it. And as for the insurance bs, they charged me 100 to my next bill, but instead of a refurb'd they sent me a brand new one! So who in the NYC area is looking to buy one? Haha

30 Backflips fro $490 on ebay.

So I was looking up on ebay to see how much my phone's worth now and I found a great bulk deal!

30 Motorola Backflips. bid's at $490 now. ends tomorrow (4/23) at 3:33 EST.
since it comes out to roughly $16 each, you could either sell them for like $30-50 to teenagers (that'd be my choice) or whatever you want with them.
It has CM7 support, so it's not COMPLETELY useless...

ill yours off for 20
thanks but no thanks.
holding out til August when i switch to an individual phone plan and get whatever great at&t phone's out (SGS3 most likely)
Keep in mind the seller warns you that some phones may not work and are untested. So it could be a hit or miss..
Why would you buy such an old phone, let alone 30 of them? This was a terrible, terrible phone.
Really what hes selling them for is what theyre worth. Motorola had tons of phones that where complete failures. This was one.

I had this phone 3 times. Not bad used it as a backup backup backup phone. Cm7 was reliable but i just liked it for the form factor. Pretty much was a FFC phone before its time.
Sucks for who ever ended up buying/bidding $1080.. $36 bucks on phones that might not even work.
Jesus Christ they sell for so little each. Look at these bids: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Ba...ps=63&clkid=7935913998055563961#ht_500wt_1156
They still sell these in Australia for $400 minimum. God I need to eBay more!
^don't. just don't... even an Optimus One is better
They obviously have value somewhere. Doubt someone would have paid that much for the hell of it.
I thought I was going to pay $490 to see someone perform 30 back flips consecutively.
You can easily sale a BACKFLIP for $100 they will make their money back plus more.
