i need a new device

[Travisl1213]

So I have an incredible with a broke screen. I have insurance but the insurance company does not have any replacement devices. Does anyone know of a way for me to get a new phone

You're just going to have to wait it out. There is a shortage of Incredibles right now. Do you have any other business you can try: Radioshack, Bestbuy or something like that? Go to where you got the phone and see if they can swap it out.

Yeah, unfortunately the whole holdup (as I understand it) is the lack of available screens from Samsung.

I got it at VZW store not a retailer

Ah then you might be outa luck =( So the terms of the insurance as such that you have to get the replacement from them?

Asurion is waiting like everyone else. BTW how did you break the screen?

So I finally got a call from the insurance company. They now have them in stock and I should have the new one tomorrow. It was in my lap when I got out of the car and I forgot to grab it and it hit the ground. Not a far drop maybe 2 feet but it shattered the screen. Phone is still usable just the top half spidered up. It's a pia but works for now. I have the red hard case I got from VZW but I just don't like cases. I guess I will have to get over that Nd use it on the new one.

Sorry to hear about your accident with your Incredible, but at least you have a new one coming. If at all possible pick up a cheap device off eBay nothing fancy just a spare device to have laying around just in case this happens. When my BlackBerry Tour had to be replaced with a 3 day wait on receiving my new device. So I was in your shoes and I didn't have a backup device but I do know even with my Tour and Devour. Still have a cheap flip phone laying around. Either way glad you were able to get a replacement.

I did the exact same thing, I was SO lucky it landed on the back and not on the screen. I almost cried.
