So I was working at the airport yesterday(I work at a rental car company), and one of my co-workers hands me a Verizon envy, and its in awesome condition. I guess they have been trying to find the owner for about 3 months. They even sent it to a customer and the customer sent it back because it wasn't their phone. Well its odviously enough time has passed that its not going to make it back to its owner. I was thinking of using the envy as my backup to my new phone(lg chocolate) should something happen to it. It just so happens that my phone charger also charges up the envy, so I powered it up and the phone is locked. I want to know if in the event that my current phone craps out, can I go into the verizon store, or a sketchy wireless store and have them reset the phone and activate it for me to use? If not the phone has a 2 gig memory card so I at least go that out of the deal.
I asked on howard forum, but they are giving me the do the right thing routine and that I should hand it in to a verizon store so they can try to track down the owner. Thats odviously way too much effort for a phone that was handed to me. I'd rather smash the phone then hand it in, mainly because that would be way more fun.
