I recently cracked the screen on my captivate. I had been looking at buying an Inspire 4G off craigslist for about 300 bucks, and didn't really feel like paying 125 bucks for a replacement captivate if i was only going to sell it for about 200 bucks.
So i called up the insurance company through ATT (Ascurion) and told them i had already traded my captivate in 3 times (i had) and that i was fed up with the problems (i was) and wanted to get a replacement Inspire instead of them sending me a Captivate. The lady was more than happy, and even gave me the choice of a free car charger or new case for the Inspire. Sweet!
So, in the end, i pay the deductible (125 bucks) to trade in a shattered Captivate, for a new Inspire 4g. I believe it works easily since they are both on the same Tier 2 insurance rate, and both cost 399 off contract. All the other non-satisfied Captivate owners should check it out if you are paying the 5 dollar monthly insurance. I could get used to using this as a way to update phones when they come out!

I have the same insurance and have filed a claim. They "will do **** like that". They don't care as long as the phone is in the same tier and costs the same or less

dont be mad because you cheaped out on the 5$ insurance and you are looking for a way to get away from the Captivate.
ATT wouldn't be the first that has done that. The warranty says it can be an equal or better product and.most times.that is determined based on price.

Ok ATT has whats called the 3 strikes rule. If you return the same device 3 times They can offer you a swap, some times there is a minor charge, like 20 bucks or so but most of the time there is no charge. The 2 devices have to be around the same thing. So no swapping a dumb flip phone for an Inspire.
The other night you fell and completely shattered your screen. It was a sad moment for you were the best phone I ever had. Now it is time to move on. Contact is up so decided to go pick up a G-Nex in a few days when it hits stores. Hope to see a few of you guys over there. If not, it has been fun!

Did I miss something about the NG coming to T-Mobile? Or did you change carriers?
I don't blame you for switching to that beast of a phone. I am hoping one day it hits the T-Mobile store and I some how have a cool 300 to throw down on a new contract.
Enjoy!

Really? If I went to Verizon looking for the same plan features, I'd have to pay them 139.99 USD a month. I'm only paying T-Mobile 59.99 USD a month, that's less than half. This is why T-Mobile is awesome.

Agreed I pay $74.90 (after tax) unlimited everything (5gb data) if I went to big red I would pay $130 before tax for 450 mins unlimited data and text
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
With unlimited and 10 gigs of data I pay about $110 a month. I,myself, barley use 350 mins (mainly text). With the double data and 450 it comes out to be $120 for Verizon where I am at. I'll be happy to pay a few bucks more for their network and less dropped calls.

I've had several drops too but its still trucking /me knocks on wood.
I've dropped mine hundreds of times even once while running where it projectiled my genius button right out the phone never to be found in the grass..... And its still running as good as the day I bought it
I was thumbing through the weekly ads out of my local Sunday paper and i usually check best buy to see what movies are on sale for the week. I came across the phone part of the ad and it has the Atrix 2 for $1 on contract. Now for one it pisses me off because i paid $100.For two when places start to drop the price on phones that is a sign that the phone is on its way out. That has me a little worried. If a mod think this should be closed, go for it. I just wanted to point out the price drop. Comments are welcomed.

Not to elevate your pissed-offedness more, but I got my A2 in October for $50 bucks at Best Buy, two or three weeks after it released. A buck, huh? Maybe that's just a crazy weekend promo or is it a full running deal with new contract? Could be that it's a significant an impending approach to the release of the ATRIX 3...? Interesting.

Could be, I'm not so sure AT&T is doing so hot right now so its probably just an incentive to get new customers on a 2 year contract. Either way, the phone is pretty damn awesome (coming from iPhone 3GS -I'll never make that mistake again) and thank Jeebus for the devs!

I haven't checked on the price of this phone since i got mine and yes it did suprise me. It suprised the hell out of me to tell you the truth. Plus it's still the newest moto phone for att so you would think they wouldn't be done with it yet. I must be out of the loop.

Interesting...I've come to expect that in the land of Android, devices have a very short run and then the next not piece of hardware comes out just a few months later and what was, is no longer. It's kind of why i'm excited and sad at the same time about the prospect of me getting an SGS3. I have a feeling the device will be a has been come Christmas time
I don't think the phone is going anywhere anytime soon though man, the only way I was able to get mine for free was due to a price match back in November when Radio Shack had them for free w/2yr contract. Luckily mine wasn't 30 days old yet so I was able to get the price match via refund . Here we are 7 months later and it's still around....AT&T still selling them for $99. Now when AT&T drops it to free, then be worried And just a FYI, AT&T had it for the same price when I bought mine the end of October. Unless they run out of stock, I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
Is it worth getting? Has anyone experienced it? A wealthy friend of mine has decided to buy it for me, and if it works well, he's going to get it for his Skyrocket/S3. I'm the Guinea pig.
I also have spare batteries, should I send those in as well? Do I need to send my case in too?

But you can use it in WAAATER. I'm not expecting any magical underwater capabilities but if I can use it in the shower (more specifically I don't have to be worried about getting wet on the pool deck) that would be cool.

meh. maybe if the phone cost you several hundred dollars and you plan on keeping it for another 2 years..... but not worth protecting the Charge IMHO.
i've never really been that hard pressed to use my phone in the shower. what concerns me is that they do NOT recommend that you test it but dunking it in water.... understandable, but still.

probably not - as it requires me to send my phone in to a company I don't know. despite their "tracking" system. even if I was there, I'm still not a fan of putting a foreign substance on my phone that could cause it to malfunction. basically, I do not see the reward outweighing the risk in this matter.

Nice... is it basically like a razr now?
I "tested" by pouring a water bottle cap full into the battery compartment...continues to function normally so I guess it works. Too much of a pansy to test more than that though.
Weird thing is, it tripped the water detection paper when I checked it later, at the time that I did it, the label didn't turn pink.

Pansy? Seems like you really want a new phone

IMO, I would use Liquipel as something of a prevention for one of those "oh ****" moments. I wouldn't go out of my way to test it out as I'm guessing that the extent of it's protection is mainly to keep water out long enough for you to retrieve your phone. For free, I would get it if I had another phone to use in the meantime, or if I could get it done locally. But, I probably wouldn't pay for it unless I was planning on keeping my phone for 2+ years.

Mine is too but I think im going to wait till winter to upgrade. Big mistake last year when I upgraded in august... missed bionic by 3 weeks and if i had waited i would have a razr/nexus/rezound. Charge->razr/nexus/rezound is a way bigger upgrade than razr/nexus/rezound->gs3 (summer) in my opinion. Same with like droid x/droid 2 /fascinate (or whatever was the best back then I dont really know) -> charge, tb, revolution. Just added 4g (similar internals though).
Yeah, I'll be looking at the expected phones when I get closer. Problem is, I probably won't be able to get a winter phone since I'll be in college.
I still think my Charge was the best choice at the time I had to upgrade. I didn't have any time to wait since they were ending unlimited data.

Instead of $19 per litigant, LG should have provided ICS and we would be happy with that but the lawyers must be paid their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so they settled for the cash to get their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$... Lawyers get the most $ out of any class-action lawsuit which is why class-action lawsuits are a farce.

I bought mine used, and I got the postcard.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is able to see what phone is being used on their network.
Oh well, 19 bucks is 19 bucks
I got my post card yesterday.
$19 is a ridiculuos amount. but something is better than nothing. Submitted my online claim today.
You don't need to have a claim form to get the money,go to LGPhoneSettlement.com to file a claim. I might get $28 because I had a replacement a few months after buying one.
I heard we get an additional $19 for each replacement phone too.. Which is nice since I got like 5
It is very mysterious how they knew what addresses to send them to.
The address I'm currently living at has never been on my t-mobile account. They're obviously pulling public records searches based on both purchase and usage data from T-Mobile.
I bought mine new from an eBay dealer and I also got one replacement from that dealer. The letter says that you have to had bought your phone from T-Mobile in order to get your $19 and that you might have to submit proof of this. I think it's just a load of BS on LG's part.

I got this as well and got rid of the g2x a few months after release. Thou i think they sent it out to all T-Mobile customers because my mom got one and she never owned a g2x.
