So I recently destroyed my HTC One M8 by accidentally taking it snorkeling with me. Only being six months into my contract, I'm a long ways away from being eligible for an upgrade. I wrote to Verizon explaining what happened, admitting 100% fault, and asking if they'd be willing to help me out in order to keep me as a customer (considering that U.S. Cellular and Sprint are each willing to buy me out of my current contract and I could get new customer pricing that way). They offered to knock $200 off of the full retail price of the M8, S5, or G3, each of which is priced at $599.99 (they do not currently have any refurbished devices for these models). They also offered to let me spread out the payments for it over at least 3 months (possibly longer).
I'm grateful that Verizon is willing to do this for me, especially due to something that was entirely my own fault. Right now, although I previously had the M8, I'm leaning toward the S5 mainly because of its water-resistant feature and its camera. I considered waiting around for the Nexus 7, but it's just too damn big for me. Is there anything else that I should consider?
