i had lg vx8300 the phone died all of a sudden few days ago basically i cant turn the phone on ...it works with a charger..took the phone to verizon they examined the battery it was fine..they were unable to find the cause of the malfunction..verizon just said the phone died..

i had insurance on the phone which i canceled last week just few days before the phone died...i canceled bacause i am now eligable for a new phone ....

my contract with verizon will end september 2nd called verizon to find out about the early termination fee ..they said because i am a long time customer i have to pay $175 early termination fee if i would cancel my account.. only new customer since last year are proated if they do cancel earlier...

i am thinking about switching to att for the iphone release date is july 11th

what should i do with verizon what options are there? mein plan is $39 a month plus fees

how to proceed with att? how can i get from them a phone until i can change it to iphone?

thank you
