Really does suck, and mars the experience
Escalating it with Verizon might help if they don't do a straight replacement.
Get all over on them like a cheap suit if need be.
Their retainment dept or whatever they call it (AT&T, Customer Loyalty group) may be more helpful.
Sales group as well. Different departments and/or individuals can alter the outcome greatly.
Assertive training helps... consider this a lesson in it if the first call doesn't get it done easy.
