I have had 2 phones stolen & a couple of accidents but that was over a long time. I am normally very careful & my phones rarely have a mark on them. But it's just piece of mind for £5 per month. @masseur,a Star Tac
I remember a work colleague had one of them & I was in awe

I guess when you have such bad luck (or mis-care) your persepective changes.. just like in gambling when you think your past bad history will presume your future good fortune...
sorry, it doesn't work that way but you might possibly come out even or even a little ahead... but thats still a game I don't play (why do you think insurers are able to stay in business?)

Exactly i couldnt have said it better myself. I can use my N8 one handed, but choose not to. When out and about i hold my phone firm in one hand and use it with the other. I tend not to have accidents, ever, sadly this one time is that one time out of millions where foresight didnt predict such limitless physical events and variables taking place.

My parents insured both my X10 and Galaxy Tab10.1, the very same days i got them, with smash and grabs, hijacking and theft being the way it is here in South Africa its advisable to insure, especialy when you consider the ridiculous prices we pay for gadgets here.

Tsepz So true.But i know Kung fu and can dodge bullets like in the Matrix so I havent bothered with insurance.Also when needed I can run superfast.And when my phone is in danger Im just a blur.

I use insurance via its expensive to replace plus my bank does not do the cover either. Also home insurance does not cover phone insurance especially when its my dads house and I have read it does not cover something which is not on the premises. I worry not just about damage but theft or loss too. Insurance is a form of gambling and you don't gamble?? Gotta be the most stupid comment ever. So you don't have car or home insurance?? Now that would be stupid

This is why I keep my phone always secured and safe, I don't want to damage my phone.

I had 1 phone stolen and given back,and it died bcoz of damage given by the person who stole it.I care for my Nokia now,and I hope I'll buy a new white mask.I had it dropped a few times but no big deal.

I think I saw somehere on a website that is a cover/sleeve that makes your phone look like a cheap standard phone and deters thieves, not sure where were it was, can anyone confirm this? its an awesome idea if deon properly!
etaab - good on you sticking to your old phones, i do think if owning a premium handset really does make your phone a magnet to thieves. I do miss the w880i, love that little phone and still gorgeous to this day! I still have my w810i though the memory stick slot no longer works but it is my emergency phone which is great as its battery life lasts for a over a week!!!
