Warranty Claim may net you a Droid 2 or Incredible

A warranty claim for your phone may net you a newer, better Droid. There have been a couple instances so far that a user with a Droid Eris, and another user with a Motorola Droid 1, have been able to get a Droid 2 or Droid Incredible as a replacement for their broken phone. This is not to be confused with insurance claims, which will happen if you run over your phone with your car (is that even possible?). Warranty claims are for defective devices, not ones with smashed screens. This isn’t officially confirmed yet, but there’s no reason why Verizon wouldn’t do this, since the Droid Eris and Motorola Droid are now officially EOL devices.

Can not confirm this report.

Just called Verizon, because my Droid Eris is getting slower and slower with no additional software on it… I am getting a replacement Eris. She said she could offer me another phone with the ‘pre-owned certified program’ or so, but they do not offer the Droid Incredible nor the Droid 2 via that program yet…

In my opinion the Droid Eris is a very good phone, only the CPU is way too slow to actually use it as what it is – a phone. It just takes too long to answer or place a call… And friends tell em it takes forever for me to pickup the phone, even if it rings just once on my side…

They may be perfect Android users and love the OS, but like with other products, too many choices can and will be overwhelming. Too many choices is a bad thing. Having a choice or t […]

The smart phone market is still not mature yet, so your message is not quite correct. Eventually, there will only be a few manufacturers left standing. Personally, I won't buy anything besides Samsung or HTC, but Samsung is winning my loyalty. They make damn good devices. It's not a coincidence that apple is picking on Samsung in court. In add […]

Re: Google Loses Appeal Over Trial Period in Taiwan
I agree with you. Taiwanese could then complain to their authorities to get them to remove that huge pole out of Taiwan consumer law's ass. Being pressure by own people is far more effective than by corporate giant. […]
