(2013-04-01) Son Dropped Nexus One Replaced With Galaxy S

Number One Son has been using my trickle-down Nexus One since 2012-08-25-UpgradingToHtcOneS.

He dropped it while it was plugged in, and the connector bracket isn't working right, can't charge.

We've been paying $7/mo for the Asurion handset-protection Insurance. What this gets us: paying $130 for an old Galaxy S phone (since they don't have any Nexus One-s available). Since I could have just bought a refurb Galaxy S for a little more, this doesn't seem like a great deal.

Update: he's not happy with phone

• research says this should be comparable to Nexus One
• but he says some apps he was using on Nexus One won't run on Galaxy S!
  • but those are mostly games so I don't care much about that
  • the phone is running Ginger Bread (Android 3.x)! No update available.
• Group Messaging is broken (his friends have IPhone-s). It turns out this isn't a new breakage, it's always been broken in Android, it's just that this use-case is new. 2013-05-01-Android[[Group MessagingBroken]]
• having problem losing voice/data connection (not WiFi)

May24 update: replaced SIM. Later did factory-reset. Still having connection problems (sometimes rebooting doesn't help, it takes hours to get connection back). They're sending new... Galaxy S.
