    Here is a start, it will look complicated at first, but it's actually pretty easy once you're started... Just start the program, and it does all the work for you...

    To be honest, the Otter Box is hideous and takes away the "feel" of the iPhone. On top of that, there has been numerous complaints about the microphone not being able to pick up the voice clearly because of the paper filter.

    Honest question, how does it feel like to have a brick in your pocket?

    1) it's not in my pocket, it's on a clip, outside my pocket.
    2) I like the feel of the otter box. the iphone is too....slippery and hard to handle imo. the rubber gives it a nice feel.
    3) I took the filter out and it's fine now
    4)I work construction, it is def. better than any other case design from what ive seen
    5) i actually like the look. its different and manly looking....not all sissified.
    6) the added width makes it easier to type because my hands dont get cramped up from trying to hold onto a skinny slippery phone.

    thats my opinions on it. and, overall size is not much bigger, if any, than the black berry I had.

    I think if you are worried about the insurance or even the warranty on the
    phone, take a look at the buyer's assurance plans from credit card companies.

    Some people may already know about this but American Express will double
    your warranty on an item purchased in full using their card. Say a phone
    comes with a one year warranty, right, well if you use your American
    Express to pay for the product, you double your warranty to two years.

    How cool is that? Even if you purchased the extended warranty to have two
    years of coverage, American Express will cover you for an additional year for three years of coverage.


    Read this page from their site.

    Warranties

    I believe even Visa and Master Card offer some as well.

    But that only extends the manufacturer's warranty, which basically covers nothing. Accidental is the main problem.

    Yeah you are right, doesn't look like the manufacturer's warranty will cover damage. Cool that American Express will double that warranty as a benefit though and you won't have spend a dime. However, they do offer purchase protection, good for 90 days.

    I am hearing Squaretrade warranties are what people are buying. I used them for a couple of items I purchased of ebay. Haven't had to file claims or what not, but they seem to be legit.

    My contract with sprint is up in August. I am considering going with an iPhone. I think I should have done it years ago. But for $199 there is nothing holding me back.

    I have been using an HTC Touch for 2 years and its been good, but its slow.

    I've been really happy with my Blackjack 2 also. I wish the reception was a little better, but overall, it's a great phone. I got mine for $50 as a refurb from AT&T, so they're pretty cheap too.

    That’s warranty not insurance, its just an extended warranty. It’s not going to cover lost/stolen, dropped, or water damaged phones.
