Who knows? I don't carry the insurance on my phone. I'm a gambling man and like to think I won't ever have issues like you're experiencing. Plus, VZW has some weird Terms & Conditions as far as I'm concerned. Every person I know who did get a replacement phone (doesn't matter if it's BB or another) have to also pay a $50 replacement fee. It can't hurt to try going into the store...If they don't do it, Im sure you could get your own replacement ball/housing unit through an e-tailer. Ive only shopped at crackberry.com for a spare docking station and battery. They have a lot of stuff!

Insurance is a separate company and is very useful. I would still try the warranty angle. You have nothing to lose.

Call sprint, I had an issue with the sliding battery panel and they replaced the phone. I have been to the sprint stores in the past and they still tell you to call the 800 number.

Insurance should cover you for a replacement-there will likely be a deductable, but it will be less expensive that buying a replacement unit outright.

If there isn't any dmage to the trackball housing on the phone itself, you can also buy a replacement trackball and install it your self, which is where the link to Horizon Wireless that was posted previously will come in handy.

Dow in the world did it shatter? Is the curve trackball made of glass?
