Anyone else waiting on a replacement GN from Asurion? This is a bit ridiculous. I've never had a problem with them in the past. They will only offer a Rezound as a comparable swap. The only phone I'd swap for is a Razr Maxx, and it doesn't sound like they have that in stock either.
Asurion replaced my Galaxy Nexus with another brand-new-in-the-box Galaxy Nexus a few months ago. I am very
happy with my experience with them. (probably because they had no refurbished GN at that time)
I currently own both the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC Rezound. (both are sitting in front of me as I type this)
I bought and returned the RAZR MAXX because I didn't like it after a week.
IMHO, here's how I rank these three phones:
Galaxy Nexus (Best, duh!
)
HTC Rezound (Good, especially since Verizon charged mr only $0)
RAZR MAXX (Not bad, but not yet in the same league as GN and Rezound)
If I were in your situation, I would definitely wait until Asurion can ship me a replacement GN.
I dont' know if Verizon Wireless corporate stores still do this, but they used to loan phone to
you. This is what they did for my co-worker last summer after she lost her GalaxyS and insurance
replacement was unavailable for 3 weeks. Just let them know that Asurion is taking too much time.
