Not garbage. There's some threads floating around here on how you can damage your new paperweight in order to get your carrier to allow you to get a replacement phone for a $100 deductable (Going rate from what I gathered) using your insurance instead of paying full retail for a new one.
Heard stories of everything from a 10 second microwave nuke to sticking a 12 battery with some wires in the charger port to fry the internals. :P
Note: I don't advocate doing ANY of this. I'm just saying it's what I saw on the forum.
