Insurance Replacement phone - T-Mobile LG G2x

My G2X flew out the window while I was driving and I couldn't find it anywhere. I pay $7.99/month for the insurance through t-mobile/asurion and I just used there website to put in my claim. They said it's out of stock and offered me a Samsung Galaxy S (lame) something Blaze or an HTC Amaze, all of which seemed way less capable than my G2X. Wondering if anyone has any advice or knowledge of these phones (less the galaxy s, I know it sucks) Wish I remembered what make the blaze was, I know that's a little vague. I called them and they said those are my only options or I can wait and see if they get a G2X in stock, or call back and see if other comparable phones become available.

i would get the amaze even though its htc lol. the blaze is more than likely a galaxy s blaze 4g and that has the same specs as amaze but amaze has a bigger screen with higher ppi, and the amze also has a btter camera i believe. oh and amaze already has ICS i think the blaze is pending. I highly doubt the g2x will come back in stock.

Specs wise, amaze isn't bad for your g2x. But try asking for sensation (make up a reason why you want that specific device). Its development is pretty active.

Yep, but specs aren't everything. If OP is into flashing, its where the devs are.

I could've sworn that the Amaze had a decent development community?

I looked at the Amaze more and saw that it has 1.5 qualcomm dual core, 1g ram, and mhl capable, so I checked the xda forums for it and it seems to have good dev support, so I went with that one. It should be here tomorrow. Probably see you guys later in the optimus g forums, when it shows up : )

honestly thats why its a rip off to buy the insurance plans. I got my g2x in near perfect condition for 115 in june. ome people got theres for less than 100$. Sometimes there are good warranties.

If you know an insurance that replaces your phone for $5 you should let us know. That's ridiculously cheap. Mine was $130
Edit: And they didn't even have a phone to replace mine with, I had to pick from a couple other ****ty ones, and they didn't even offer me the Amaze until I called in complaining.

He means for a warranty replacement. If the phone breaks on its own, it's a 5 buck processing fee. If you do something to break it, then it's insurance deductible time

Wow! ATT insurance rocks!! From Captivate to Inspire 4g...

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!

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.

I would probably take it to Sprint, I just got mine replaced not to long ago because my front camera was on the fritz, so they said it was going to be 36 dollars for the replacement, I don't have insurance. But as I walked out the door, they never took money, and it wasn't on my bill... so score I guess.
lol, I got my phone replaced for free with no insurance, the screen absolutely went to crap.

how much for the epic?
My wife dropped her epic, worked fine for about a day while the screen slowly turned black. I took it to the Sprint store, they said it costs $35 (without insurance) to replace the whole top piece. They told me the part was on back order and it has been about 3 weeks and they have still not received the part.
This is her business line (self employed) and it would be nice to get her epic back up and running, so if anyone has an extra screen or bricked or bad esn epic for sale please let me know. OP might be interested too.

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.

G2X went for a swim with me on the 4th.....

My phone decided it wanted to go for a swim on the 4th and is dead. Tried bag of rice to no avail. I have the insurance and was given the choice of the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. Went with the Galaxy.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the awesome ROM work and support over the last year or so. It's too bad we can't get the display drivers API from LG so we can get some ICS with working video love, but oh well.
Again, just want to thank everybody. I will now be hanging in the Galaxy S2 forums until my full discount comes into effect in February and I can get the S3.

Enjoy the GS2...

I called in and asked them what the replacement was. They said that the G2x is discontinued and not available as a replacement, so they gave me the option to choose between the SG2 and the HTC Sensation. When I said the SG2, they even gave me the option to choose between Black or White. I chose black.

Similar situation here. They apologized that the g2x wasn't available and offered me a Sensation. I played it off as I hadn't heard of that phone before and asked if she'd mind waiting a minute while I looked at the phone online. She said sure and that I should check out the GS2 as well, that was another alternative. I said I was familiar with that and chose it, opted for white

If you have insurance call them up tell them what happened and they will either offer you a different phone like gs2 or the same for that 100ish. I needed a new phone but they didn't offer me the gs2 they just sent me the same. But then again it was a free exchange so who knows

I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.
I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.
