I've read several forums regarding square trade and people's opinion about whether or not to use them or stick with carrier insurance.....my question is different and can't seem to find any discussion on experience with this:
I notice that for my phone(GS2 Skyrocket), it's $124/2yr and a $99 deductible..but I see that they do not provide replacement phones, like carriers do, which is fine, I hate refurbs. What they state that they will do is cover replacement cost.
Now I spoke with two reps and got two answers. My question is, I send them a copy of my invoice(receipt), which shows that I payed .01 (yes that's a penny) for my phone....in the event of a claim, are they going to send me a check for $600 minus deduct. or send me a check for purchase price minus deduct???
Has anyone had experience with getting replacement money from them?
This seems like a no-brainer question but we all know how insurance companys can be.
Again, I apologize and don't want moderator's coming unglued if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it.........Thanks.

Hello xda
I am wondering if any of you know where to get "cheaper" phones. As of right now I want an SGSII for t-mobile, but I can't pay $600 -___-
And of course I don't have an upgrade :/
Any ideas?
anything chinese store gives me the goosebumps. Scamsssss
I can guarantee you that you can get one for less then $600 but it's not legal...
But on the legal side of things take a look in the "for sale" section and see if anyone is getting rid of one and if you do buy unlocked i would suggest the Nexus over the SIIX isn't their SI still on froyo ?
Threatening to leave your carrier usually garners an early upgrade. It's not very ethical, but it works.

Specially if you threaten during a slow month.

I just dont get why the manufacturers bother with spending so much money on developing a user interface and then keeping it relevant with the latest android versions.
People say that they do that to differentiate their phones. When I see samsung, HTC, SE, motorola and LG phones I can clearly distinguish them on hardware.
Does google not allow them to release a stock phone or what? Basically it will be like we have several different versions of a nexus phone. Look at LG what good does it give them to have their user interface? Nobody says anything good about their software, they are so late with updates. LG makes respectable hardware for the price but because of the software thing I will never consider their phone.
I honestly think it will actually give the manufacturers a competitive advantage especially struggling ones and the money they will save on software development they can perhaps use it to lower the prices or something.
The vanilla interface is a bit rough in my opinion, i'm glad my HTC has sense
i find samsung contacts and dialer much better than vanilla one, i really miss them in cm7
Alright, I will go over this issue again. The members of this community who like to hack and tweak their phone are the gross minority when it comes to the consumers. The average consumer does not understand the hardware or anything about the phone. They see a phone with a pretty clock that can open an app quickly. If the manufacturers didn't offer their personal touches, there would be nothing to differentiate themselves from their competition. Consider us lucky though, we have a great community offering us any flavor of Android we choose for our phones.
That's the reason why some people chose the pure google experience.You know the Nexus One, Nexus S, and now the Galaxy Nexus. It would be nice that other manufacturers would make phones without any costom UI and other things, and the updates would be rolling out from google over the air. Welcome to reality...?

This was a thread for general discussion, there are many threads at the forum with a "?" in the end. This is the second time it's happened I really dont get it. I wasnt merely "asking" something for me but just something for general discussion.

Yea, it is stupid. Some people don't understand the English language. The Q&A section is not meant for questions without a definitive answer...those questions are meant for discussion. Some of the mods are real geniuses though.
I think he just sees a question mark and moves it. Its happened to me before and it is kinda irritating.
Rather than having manufacturer skins forced down peoples throats, i'd like to see a unified Android Theme Changer integrated into the OS. Manufacturers could then release devices with their own selection of Themes, including an option for 'Vanilla'. That way everybody has a choice.
Any additional software should be released through the Market for those that want it. One Nexus release a year is not enough for those of us who like our Androids unadulterated.

Check eBay, sellers will work out a deal with you I'm sure
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
Has anyone read any information regarding upcoming Verizon phones? Due to a corporate discount, I will be switching to them within six months or so. The only device I can think of at this time is the Galaxy Journal (Verizon equivalent to the AT&T Note). Anyone have any info on if Verizon will get the Galaxy S3 or one of the HTC One phones? I'm in a bit of a pickle with seemingly no new phones coming out in a while.
There's no real info about the SGSIII period, it's not even announced technically.
There's been rumors about a One S variant coming to Verizon but no proof.
Verizon is pretty much playing it safe until summer begins it would seem.

Basically, I am looking foward to get smoked and trade in this sucker for new WP phone
Phone should have Wifi for WP challenge
I did participate in the challenge with a Nokia E63 and it does have a Wifi.
I was aware that phone should have Wifi. I did confirm that a day back before participating. There was a person in line behind me who was planning to participate with a LG Vu(no wifi) and I told him to check with store employees and he did check. He had to leave as they didn't allow him to participate.
