| Bit missleading I think this is a bit misleading if you ask me. The majority of black berries are in the hands of employees who receive the device from their employer and have no finical ties to the device so the care and use is much harsher. The Iphone has not been deployed in to a large cooperate environment it is largely in the hands of the consumer who has forked over their own money to purchase the device and have a vested interest in its care. | |

Laguna Hills, CA | I'm unaware that SquareTrade warrants against damage caused by the owner. I thought, like most warranties it only provides repairs for defects in workmanship, making these numbers not misleading at all. | |

| Re: Bit missleading I'm confused. (nothing new though) If the statistics for a dropped BlackBerry or Treo were counted, as people send them in for repairs due to the ADH terms, wouldn't this cause more units to be counted from being dropped?
There would be greater numbers for a BlackBerry or Treo device, as any damaged unit from being dropped, thrown, flung, or catapulted would be counted while the iPhones are only counted if a manufacturer's defect is found. | |

Goes right back to the point that people take better care of things they bought then stuff given to them. | |

| Re: Bit missleading »www.squaretrade.com/pages/iphone-landing1
actually squaretrade page says they cover Normal Issues and "Drops & Spills" for 2 years with a 3 year option and I believe Drops & Spills would be classified as a Accident so yes they cover against Accidents. | |
