Re: Bit missleading said by Armour: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. Goes right back to the point that people take better care of things they bought then stuff given to them. |

Laguna Hills, CA | That would matter if accidental damage was covered but I don't think it is. |

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. |

I just Googled around about this and came across this interesting Squaretrade blog stating that 85% of iPhone repair claims are accident claims, more than all other cell phones combined.

Looks like it doesn't matter who got people their phones, people buying the phone themselves doesn't mean they'll take better care of it. |

like my ipod people tell me ohh you just got an ipod? I said NO I've had it for going on 2 years now but no scratches on the front face (I have the black video ipod) and I only use the case that came with it.
