Insurance can send you any phone that they deem comparable to the one you had, in terms of specs and price. The First is actually somewhat better than the VX when you compare them side by side: HTC One VX vs HTC First - Phone specs comparison

The main drawback of the First is Facebook Home, if you're not a total Facebook junky. But you can easily turn off Facebook Home: How to uninstall Facebook Home from your current phone | Android Central. Also look here: http://cellphoneforums.net/htc/t359098-htc-first-turn-off-facebook-home.html#axzz3CJO7ocTo. I'm not sure if the First has a basic Launcher that you can use once you turn off Facebook Home--but if there isn't, you can always install another Launcher app like Nova Launcher (which looks a lot like the basic Android interface).
