Alright, so the "Up Volume" button on my Thunderbolt has started to stick. I'm not entirely sure why. It was fine earlier today, and I haven't dropped it since then. I'm thinking that because of this, I'm stuck on the ROM I'm currently running. Those of you that are Rooted/ROM'd see the issue with this.
Not only this, but its annoying as hell when trying to turn my ringer volume down, media volume, etc. It's obviously not impossible (can still use the menu), but it's very annoying. My question is, what do I do now?
I could use my insurance and get a CPO Thunderbolt (I'm assuming they're still giving them out). However, that requires paying my $99 (RIDICULOUS) deductible.
I read online that Verizon now does trade-in's on phones. I appraised mine on their website (only parameters being that you can turn it on, the screen works, and it isn't cracked) and I would get $99 for it. I could use this to put towards the full price of a new phone, most likely the Rezound. Does anyone know of any coupons out now that I could use to lower the full cost of a phone more?
Which would you go with and why? I suppose it makes more sense to go with the CPO Thunderbolt, and wait patiently until July for my upgrade. The uber phone nerd in me wants to say screw that, get a phone now, and have a sweet backup phone (Rezound) for when I upgrade to something not even released yet in July.
