lol I was wondering about that... I don't recall seeing insurance option on my order form from ATT but at the same time I was thinking how the $5/month might end up being a wasted expense in the longrun, especially if there is a $100+ deductable. I need replacements within the first year usually but I have never actually LOST my phone so regular mfg warranty is good for 1 year as far as I'm concerned....

I really don't know what happens if you have sprint phone on Verizon network within the first year.. normally the carrier would replace the phone but there's no way Verizon will bat an eyelash at you with a sprint phone.. yer on your own completely or does HTC do returns for sprint-branded phones?

I may be hard to please but srievley hit the nail on the head for pointing out the origin of my gripe. It's not about a particular phone on a particular network, it's about how a particular network GIMPED a particular phone that is NORMAL on EVERY other network. My complaint is about verizon and how they seem to be on a constant quest to rape their customers for every last penny they can possibly get away with. Sure, I can get used to hitting an arrow instead of the M, I can get used to having to continue to hit oxious after I close every app, and I can most-definately buy a normal gps for my car instead of relying on my phone... but the point is... WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO when EVERY other carrier provides the Touch Pro in its full wonderous glory to its customers.

pffft.
