wife dropper her eris and shattered the glass.

What are our options? Verizon store wants 169 for a refurb - 400+ for a new one.

is there anyplace online to get one for a better price?

Probably not, my man. Refurb is the way to go as eBay looks like it won't budge below $180.

You can get a brand new one for $200, but if money is an issue, used isn't much cheaper.

F me. 4 months in and another $200?

F F F!

Yeah, man. Sorry. Was your wife's phone in a case? A good one may have prevented this, although it always depends on the fall.

eBay may not be the best way either. I would just bite the bullet, get the refurbished, ( which isn't necessarily used, just opened so they can't sell it as new), and invest in a case.

Dunno if you saw this thread on the front page as well, but....

My suggestion again: Tell Verizon you'd like to switch back to your non-smartphone, so the calling plan is $30 cheaper per month. Then ask them what the replacement price was again.
