I used Verizon's own website and got a trade-in value of $183 for my HTC Rezound.
That rice included a promo code on a coupon given to me by a VZW corporate store
associate. The phone has every factory accessory in the original box. It was activated
and used for only 1 or 2 hours, then deactivated. It sat in my desk for a couple of
months unused, which I why I wanted to get rid of it. $183 in VZW gift card is pretty
good, no? No hassles of trying to sell it. The gift card can be applied to a monthly
bill or purchase of other VZW stuff.
I accepted the offer and already shipped the phone. In fact, the tracking page shows
the phone was delivered on Monday.
Here's the thing.... I just remembered that I had completely forgotten to restore the phone....
It was unlocked/rooted but I relocked it... which resulted in "RELOCKED" being
displayed when booting into recovery. (not sure if VZW trade-in dept will actually
check for that)
Worse yet... I had the leaked ICS rom on there and all I did was returned it to
the factory default to wipe my personal data. (but that still returned it to a fresh
copy of the latest leaked ICS rom) Whoever turns it on will see the set-up menu.
Should I expect to get the phone back after VZW rejected it?
