I have insurance on my sk3, but I don't have insurance on any of my other phones.

I don't have insurance because I get them free

Insurance is recommended for smart phones though.

Nope. I even dropped my 8525/TyTN in the bathtub (completely submerged). I got it out quickly and took the battery out. I dried it out for a day and it's OK. I don't think insurance would have covered for that anyway.

Even the smartest of smart phones only have a life of 18-24 months. I don't even use a case for my phone. It's bulky enough as it is. It lives in my pants pocket just fine.

FYI, for those using TyTN's. It's pretty easy to hook thme up to a laptop and get a ~600Kbps Internet connection for $40/month. You can also charge them with non-HTC chargers (like Motorola's and the cheap clone ones) by pressing the soft reset button on the bottom while the charger is connected (by default they will only charge with HTC chargers because of some non-standard wiring).

Finally, Gmail has a great PDA interface for email. It would probably work pretty good even on phones with pretty small displays.

I have insurance for mine. The person at the store said it covers if I drop it in water or something like that, so why not because something tells me that something bads gonna happen to it sooner or later.

I love it!!! I will only use a phone that I can hack. People pick up my phone and look at it or they hear it and they all ask how I got my phone to do all that. I tell them to join us in the year 2007. I would probably die if I didn't have my MDA, it makes my life so much easier. I don't have to remember anything beacause it reminds me to do everything, I never miss a payment, I'm never late, I keep track of my finances, birthdays, things to do/buy, movies friends recommend, release dates......I could go on forever! The G-mail sync is amazing too! I will get my g-mail not even 30 seconds after my account gets it. The only complaint I have is that my SMS program freezes up from time to time and doesn't send or receive text messages until you give it a soft restart, then all the texts and e-mail come flooding in at once.

Not to get sidetracked, but I have a htc star trek with rom ver: 2.4.502 with this home screen. I like the way windows mobile is customizable.

I have to agree too. I will only use a phone that i can hack. I just to switched to Verizon and recieved the Env. Literally right now i'm going to recieve free unlimited Navigator (GPS navigation) Normally it cost $10.00 per month...but hacking da phone!

I tried a blackberry pearl for the day...IT WAS THE WORST PHONE EVER! God i hate that thing.


But insurance is really not worth it. If you ever drop your phone in water, dry it out then smash it. Many insurance companies will not cover liquid damage, but they cover phyical damage.

while you have a very valid point there is a sticker inside the phone and normally in the battery compartment that says if it was dropped in water or not. if this is shwoing water damage then your screwed.
