Having previously worked for a cell phone company. Nothing like that would happen in this situation. To a manufacturer phones are like disposable paper cups. To a carrier they are more interested in the service and not the phone. Plus, it's the technicians job to sort out the insurance phones and the warranty phones. If they miss one, it's their fault and the company eats it. Technically that is the investigation. I know, I was a technician.

Wuh? If I drop it in the toilet I'd have to pay the $100 bucks to replace it, just as I would because the screen is cracked. So that really doesn't help me. Nuking it would cause a power failure without traces of inflicted damage. That's the point. Blame it on the phone, not my butter fingers.
