If you brick it screwing with the ROM, they can tell and it will not be covered under warranty...this is also the reason that the insurance went up from $50 to $100 on smartphones for the rest of us...

Let me see if I get this. You want to brick your phone and get a new one under your insurance plan because it's all scratched up and doesn't look pretty any more? WTF???? You do the same thing with a car (i.e torch it or report it stolen to the insurance co and get the pay off) and we call it insurance fraud and you go to jail. I very much doubt that would happen with a PPC, but I like to think our members have a little more integrity than that.
