So today I dropped my phone (storm 2) and it hit the rim of a glass of water which resulted in a cracked screen. The only thing I'm able to do is answer phone calls. Can't place them or use the bb button or even end calls if I want to. I'm eligible for an upgrade and have been since the end of December, but I was waiting for either a better version of the iphone or the Droid Bionic to drop in July. I also have insurance but I would have to pay $99 for the new phone and if I'm going to pay that much, I'd rather just pay $50 more now and get the Droid X. I'd prefer not to use my upgrade up right now but I'm ready to be done with Blackberry anyway. Any suggestions?

Is that real? Droid X for $19.99? How is that possible?

They put new phones out so quick that the value of them falls quickly. Droid X has been out for a while and I'm sure they want to get them off of their shelf.

This site reliable? We've got a 4-line family plan coming up for upgrade on the 25th, and that would save us a SHITLOAD of money (especially since 2 of the 4 will be smartphones).

Another question about wirefly...it says I'm not eligible for an upgrade when I go through the checkout process. I have an email from VZW saying I am and I have also gone through the process on vzw.com to upgrade and I get the upgrade price on there as well. Why would wirefly not allow me to upgrade?
