Handtec warranty on Galaxy Note for US buyers?

---

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Note from Handtec, but was wondering if anyone knew how warranty service is handled for foreign buyers? I'm in the US and would hate to have to send my phone in and wait for weeks if I were to need warranty service, but I'd hate it much more if I had no warranty at all. Anyone know?

Insure your phone through a 3rd party mobile insurance provider or your homeowners insurance.

Do you have any recommendations for third party warranty or insurance for these types of phones?

I hear a lot of good things about SquareTrade.

Does anyone have info on warranties? What's Samsung's position on a manufacturer's warranty? I appreciate the 3rd party insurer suggestion, but it seems like a warranty would be best for issues such as manufacturing defects. Does Squaretrade or renter's insurance even cover such phone issues? I thought they were only for loss or accident.

I was looking into 3rd Party Insurers and found one (www.toughcell.com) that covers both theft/loss and device defects but the actual site and relatively low pricing made it seem somewhat questionable so I don't know if I should give it a try...

ATT support only in the states?

I put it on my American Express. If anything goes wrong, they'll cover me.

I would've figured credit card protection would only work so long, like 30 days or something. What if the display goes out 6 months down the line? I'm surprised nobody's been able to say what Samsung's warranty policy is on this for foreign countries.

Why do you need 3rd party insurance? The phone comes with 2 years manufacturer warranty.
