By the way, what do you think of the insurance that Apple and ATT offer for the I-Phone? Ain’t that a peach of a deal?

Are you talking about AppleCare?
I haven’t bought ins for my family cellphones, but $70, for two years of coverage for iphone isn’t bad, I always buy it for portable electronics ( although for laptops, it is three years of coverage)



Yes, Applecare for the IPhone is what I was talking about. AppleCare is not insurance, it is an extended warranty/support plan. The $69 gives you one extra year of coverage against … products defect resulting from **regular **use. Drop your phone and you’re out of luck. Sit on it … same thing. Drop it in a puddle of water getting out of taxi …same thing. Crack the screen … same thing.

Check the advertisements at squaretrade or safeware to understand the value of the plan offered by Apple. If the insurance was a real insurance, safeware would not be able to quote about $85 a year WITH a $100 dollar deductible in the US and 200 abroad.
