Not sure if you understood the thread or if you read the PDFs. As a phone owner you would be concerned about 2 things:
1. Malfunction/Manufacturing defect
2. Damage due to mishandling (Water damage/physical damage/Lost/Stolen)

#1 is fully covered by warranty
#2 is covered by ERP.

ESRP is not needed. The only additional benefits ESRP provides over manufacturer warranty are:
1. Immediate repair without having to mail it to HTC or arrange for a temp phone.
2. Enables eligibility for coverage after 2 years if you continue (Which again can be purchased from credit card)

So my question is,
1. Is it(ESRP) worth it (50$/year)?
2. Did I miss if there are any other benefits to ESRP?
