Default Phone Broke

Sooo....

My Blackberry Storm broke. It's a year old, I have a year left on my contract.
I'm going in sometime this week to see if I can get a replacement..

Will I be charged the full price of the phone for a new one?
I was looking at the Curve as a replacement, it's more reasonably priced ($360) compared to the price of the others, which are in the $500-$600 price range.

This is with Verizon.

Anyway, any advice would be useful, if anyone knows....

Thanks!

Do you have phone insurance? And how did it break?

I don't believe I have phone insurance...

I don't know how it broke. The lock button just quit working one day... its a touch screen (the storm), so naturally you have to lock the screen before you put it in your pocket and such.

It also auto-locks.

Basically, any time it locks, I can't unlock it. And if I want to lock it, I can't lock it.

Sometimes the lock button works, most of the time it doesn't.


So, basically... it's worthless to me, it's very difficult to use a phone that wont unlock most of the time, and wont lock most of the time.

If you didn't break it yourself (as in it's just a wear and tear kind of defect) then they should be able to help you more than if you had an accident and slammed it on the ground or something.

Ebay may also be a solution.
