I originally got a SG3 on preorder to keep my unlimited. Had NE2 so that evened out with the upgrade fee and was charged $213
I exchanged for the Inc4g and kept my unlimited but they charged me a $35 restocking fee so I got a new charge for $248
Then I returned the SG3 but they only credited me $181.
They claimed that by exchanging I lose my NE2. I complained that you can't have it both ways, charge the upgrade fee AND take away my NE2. Plus you don't arrive at $181 either way. Plus I complained that I never opened the SG3 so I shouldn't have to pay a restocking fee.
She put me on hold for 5min and agreed to credit me the $35 restocking, $30 upgrade fee, + $2 that they shorted me on the refund.
So I guess it worked out, but goes to show that you have to stay vigilant when it comes to verizon.

some bastard stole my MDA and I've ordered a Wing...now I have a couple cases, a stylus, and an AC charger that are just taking up space in my desk.
here's what i have:
Seidio MDA spring loaded holster - 3 months old $15 + shipping OBO

Sena Black leather flip case in box (used less than one week!) - 20+shipping OBO

also, have 2 tmobile lines i need to get out of if anyone is interested in a 13 month contract. was told by tmo rep that you can take over one or both lines, no activation fee, and can change to any plan you want.
not a bad deal if you don't want to sign a 2 year contract. I'll throw in $50 per line to help with the cost of a phone.

What would you take for ALL the MDA accessories?
Well will be phone less a while. Dropped the phone today, a little over 3 feet. Landed face down and now looks like I hit it with a sledge hammer. So now I get to start saving to get it replaced under warranty. Ugh. Can't wait, the roms just starting coming out. Lol

With a phone this big is just a question of when you are going to drop it.
I have Best Buy's protection. It will cover shattered screens and the repair cost is always zero. (No deductible) I wouldn't get a phone like this without insurance.
Yea; I heard ATTs insurance deductible is $200. Thats rough..
here are some action shots. have half the cash for the deductible. woohoo!
Sad.... It must have fell just at the right angle.

So much for Gorilla Glass? I'm starting to rethink my "forget insurance, I'll never see it" policy.
What about SquareTrade? That's who I have used in the past and who I plan to go with for my Note. Basically the same coverage as Best Buy but you pay one price and no monthly fees. I believe they have a $50 deductible per claim but as far as I know, so does Best Buy. I could be wrong on this. Plus, isn't Best Buy's plan $15 per month? ($15 x 24 months = $360)
i think i may go get best buys insurance tomorrrow.. i'm pretty sure its 9.99 a month, but I will double check. was looking at ATT insurance and its ... not as good. Ive never had insurance before but with this phone.... man.. I think i'll need it. I already dropped it once.
I am checking out ensquared. Seems cheap and good coverage. Anyone have experience with them?

BB insurance is $15 for the iphone. Its $9.99/month (or $170 for one time up front payment) for the Note and other smartphones. It is $0 deductible for both. Its true BB protection doesn't cover loss or theft. But phones are dropped a lot more than they are stolen.
Squaretrade (IMHO) is the next best deal if you dont buy your phone from BB.

Except you're forgetting to factor in probability. If it were truly a good deal for you, BB and att wouldn't offer it. I'm comfortable with my phone in a case and sp (for the first time but it is a big ass screen) , and I always have it on person. Loss/theft hasn't happened to me... well I've never lost a phone, and the one I dropped in a toilet... fixed well enough, and the one in puddle... was due an upgrade. Long story short, everything I would've paid towards insurance in the 10 yrs I've had smartphones would have bought me more than enough off-contract phones.

That's good to know about BB's deductible being zero. That does help. What sold me on SquareTrade is that you pay right around $90 one time. You just need to wait until they have a 30% off deal (which is really often) otherwise it cost $125.

I've had SquareTrade for my iPhones and Honeycomb tablet. One thing--do they insure if the device is rooted?

To be honest I have never checked. My last device had a really easy process for returning to stock and unrooting but of course if the device is dead then it does not matter how easy that process is. I would think that rooting a device will void any warranty if a person is caught.

I just found this thread on another forum that compares Ensquared with SquareTrade. I will be checking out Ensquared now.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...aretrade-cell-phone-insurance.html#post942795
Interesting relevant comment I found on that for squartrade vs ensquared:
Ensquared only covers accidental physical damage and lost/stolen...they don't fix technical things with the devices or cover that. Bricking your phone would be considered misuse as far as Ensquared goes. With Squaretrade there is a chance they would cover it as long as they can't tell that you were trying to root the phone which caused it to brick. Since they cover malfunctions there is a chance they will cover it. I don't know if there is a way to tell that you were screwing with it or not.

So i went into BB the other day to check out if they had any cases for my Note. And of course i was talking to the guy and he asked where i got it. I said AT&T being it was $100 cheaper being i bought it at full retail price.
He says you should have gotten it from here, you should return it and re-buy from us. He says they work on non-commish & is just looking out for me? Hahah i chucked at first. So i BS with him and he tells me about this $9.99 accidental insurance plan that they replace the phone even if you took it home and smashed it with a hammer and brought it back in a dust pan. But you have to buy the phone from them. It also can be canceled at any time there is no contract on this like a warranty on a car. Interesting.
So if you figure like me i prefer my phone naked but need a case for accidental drops. You go and spend $40 on a case or even $80 being you will prob buy two maybe even 3. I am super anal with my electronics, but need protection when i go out. Like out drinking with the buds and i "accidentally" fumble the phone on the concrete. So that is either 4 months of worry free coverage or 8 months coverage. Seems to good to be true.
Anyone know anything about this? Or have it?
This may not sound super good for people who bought it at $300 but those of use who bought it for $650 it sounds much better. Ive already seen quite a few cracked screen threads on here.
He wasn't lying he doesnt get paid on commission. But as far as the protection plan its not a bad deal, considering that's there no deductible and you can service it as many times as you want. The only knock in my opinion it doesn't cover lost or stolen.

Yup, thats another thing. There is no deductible which is awesome. I think at&t has a $200 dollar one or something crazy like that. Hell, my Note already slide behind my bed. I fell asleep browsing with it. I have a IKEA bed with a open back headboard and it slipped right down off the wall I heard it i thought it was the Direct TV remote, my heart literally dropped in my stomach!

It is cheaper but if you lose your phone kiss it goodbye... it doesn't cover lost/stolen and honestly. .. They claim as long as your phone has a front facing camera, once reported stolen it snaps a pic of the person who has it in possession. I have it on my SII but haven't lost it (knock on wood).

Exactly. I bought two Galaxy Notes from ATT for retail a few days ago. My GF would rather wait until her upgrade in May and save the $300 so i am gonna return hers to ATT. But i am deff gonna get hers from BB mobile come May with that protection plan.
Like i said i am super anal with my devices so i am not worry about scratching it, more worried about that oh **** moment. I tend to leave my phone on my lap when i drive and forget its there when i get out lol . Id rather take the $40 i would spend on cases and throw that towards the protection for $9.99 a month. Just for piece of mind.
I'm sure i could cut out some dumb stuff to makeup for that $10 bucks a month lol.
Does anybody know how long you have to add that from purchase date? Sounds like a pretty good thing to take a look into.

I bought the 2 year plan also. I paid $170 up front to make it even cheaper.
$170 divided by 24 = about $7.08 a month.

I did this plus the $36 on buyback (only at that price when you buy warranty at time of phone purchase so they say). The piece of mind is the best thing about it plus the buy back gives me atleast the commitment price in 18 months that's pretty nice!

The BB no deductible is cool, but I like the accidental with lost/stolen add-on of AT&T for the same price. Granted that $200 Deductible hurts but I have had more phones lost/stolen than totally destroyed and the Note would be really attractive to thieves.

Got mine from Best Buy yesterday, and I think it's just hardwired into me to decline any sort of extended warranty, and the sales guy wasn't pushy at all so the conversation lasted about 5 seconds. I've never had a phone broken/lost, etc (knock on wood!) but I can see the benefit as long as they are true to their policy. Just can't justify adding $10 a month for it.
Though it's nice to see I have 30 days to change my mind.
my brother also purchased the streak from bb for 99 and paid the one time fee for their coverage and used it for 6 months. He ended up getting the iphone 4 for free and they refunded his full warranty payment minus the 6 months that he used so he ended up making money back from his warranty and got the iphone 4 which was 200 at the time for the price he paid for the streak.
I had their insurance when I purchased my atrix...screen broke 2 months later and it took a month and a half to get a new phone...service was terrible I had no phone for a month and a half.I don't recommend it but its your choice.

the store most likely messed up the processing of the claim... if you sent it in for rapid exchange, the process is 3-5 days. if you send it in to have your unit repaired, the max would be 32-34 days (2-4 days to get to the service center - depends on what day the store ships it or if it is a weekend). at that time they can request a junkout due to it being out to repair for too long...
They also (supposedly) give you a comparable loaner phone while you're waiting...

I dont think they do loaners. Im keeping my insurance with bb until i get the otter box and the screen comes down in price. The insurance is about 240.00 for the 2 years and seems screens are closed to that as it is now. Lost, stolen, water damage and other are of not real worries to me. I have not have a problem that requires a cellphone replacement out of warranty ever! I had cellphones since the earlies 90s.
Does BB check if you flashed your ROM or not? If they do find out that you flashed your ROM, they can deny protection plan warranty right?
Also, can you cancel it anytime? In a span of 2 weeks, my note got replace once. On thursday, it will get replaced again. With this trend, I think BB protection plan is a good idea. They mentioned that if I will have my phone replaced, I could buy BB protection plan (even though I didn't buy it initially) I am planning of buying this protection plan and if I'm sure I got a good reliable galaxy note phone, I will cancel the protection right away. Probably after 2-3 months.
Is that a good plan?
You can cancel anytime when you are in the month to month. That they assured me because that is what I plan to do once I get the otter box and the display replacement drops a little more.
They have it on sale today for $449.00 and if you text 30364 OHWHATFUN then get the discount A39 for 10% off at the store. So if you go to store you would pay $400 + $50 gift card for the 1520 phone. I think it's a good deal

They???
Amazon are doing a deal for $99
so my fit would not charge to turn on after it sat for a few weeks including trying all the suggestions on here and the web.
so i had purchased the Best Buy warranty for $25 when i bought it that had a 2 year full replacement feature and i wouldnt normally buy them but $25 and i was wearing it on my wrist so i did buy it.
today i went to get that replacement Fit since mine was broken and the Best Buy assoc says "would you like a $179 BB Gift card or a replacement Fit" and i had no idea that was an option and without question took the $179.
in my opinion its a year old now and i had my fun but that cash could go to something newer tech or whatever.
anyway in case anyone else has issues and bought this warranty its great to know you have this option.
will miss my fit a little but was using it less anyway
