I just got my TYTN II and its great. Considering the amount i paid for the phone, and the fact that i bought it because i broke the screen on my 8525, im thinking i should get insurance for it.
Does anyone have insurance for the phone? If so how much does it cost? Have you replaced a phone with them before? Any recommendations would be great! Thanks.

saying where you live might help (ie UK, US etc...)
I just insured mine for £53 for one year @ talkcover.com - full loss, accidental damage, theft etc.

Well you can get your device insured for $100-$200 I believe. That covers all drop and falls. Why dont you just call HTC and lie to them? It worked with me 100%. They sent me a brand new replacement ^_^

i contacted safeware to see if they would offer insurance for this phone... when i emailed them, i gave all the known names for the device, kiaser, tytn II, 8925 (TILT), etc.... and the response i got was scary.. see if you can catch the scary part!
We would like to thank for the inquiry. Unfortunately we do not currently offer coverage for the 8925, but we are strongly considering it. We are researching the ability to repair the unit, and we are investigating repair depot options at this time. We will be more than happy to collect your contact information, and you will be contacted when we begin offering coverage for the iPhone. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best Regards,

aaagh! Unclean! Unclean!
Sue for the emotional distress caused by the suggestion you are an iDiot.

I paid $829 for my TyTN II, SquareTrade's quote is $213.99 for 3 Years with ADP (accidental drop and spill coverage). I've never insured a phone and am now on the fence. I like this phone as it's just about perfect. I can't think of what model would make me jump in the next 12/24 months, well, if it was slightly thinner with a bigger Transreflective-VGA screen I'd go again

Hi,
Im just wondering if you have ever had to actually claim with them. sounds very good, my vario iii is arriving on tuesday and i need it insured. t-mobile are asking silly money really and this seems to be a great offer.

Really? I have two PDAs insured with them (the 8525 and 8125). Cost me about $60 a year for $500 coverage on each phone. Recently, I added my Tilt to the account. Haven't yet heard from them. I added the new phone online at their web site. I hope they haven't dropped this service.
