My wife dropped her Lumia 928. Still has about 9 months on contract. The bottom right corner of the screen cracked a bit. The phone still works fine, but clearly it's not ideal (little glass slivers rub off with every use, so we put a screen protector over it). So, we have a few options for her and I was wondering what you all thought. We're on Verizon, so we can
1. just keep using the cracked 928 for 9 more months
2. buy a used 928 or 822 on ebay
3. upgrade early via Edge to the Lumia Icon
4. upgrade early via Edge to the HTC One
The HTC One seems appealing as it comes with WP8.1 pre-installed and I'm sure she'd like the Dot case, but I'm a little hesitant to give HTC a shot, given their historically poor support for WP and WP updates. It would be good to know if another high-end Lumia was coming soon to Verizon (my guess is nothing till January 2015), and I've always been averse to early trade-in programs like Edge, but given that we're on a 10GB shared plan, it would actually cost the same per month with an Icon or only $5 more per month for the HTC One. Your thoughts?
