Are you getting ready to grab the new iPhone next Friday? Might be you’ll love this news. Since AT&T wouldn’t offer insurance for any iPhone, seems Best Buy’s offering is worth purchasing. For some peace of mind, of course.
Normal cell phone insurance via Best Buy will cost you anywhere from $7 to $10 a month. Not the case with iPhone 3G S, Best Buy has raised this fee to a cool $15 a month. This premium fee is most likely due to the full retail price of the 3G S being so high at $599 and $699.
Good news is that this insurance will cover all sorts of damage – liquid damage, cracked screens, cracked casing, etc… All you have to do is bring your damaged iPhone into any Best Buy, they will fix it or replace your device on the spot.

This is considered a deal?
$180 per year insurance on a $600-$700 product? R U kidding me!
i would expect to drop it in the toilet every other month for that price…
I have a motorcycle that I only pay $125 a YEAR for insurance! Get real BestBuy!
Do they sell upgrade insurance?
I understand that the insurance covers more than the Apple Care Protection plan, but I will stick to that since it is only $69 for an entire year versus the $180/yr that WSP pointed out.
I’m not saying to buy the insurance, but buy from best buy, as much as it pains me to say it. The att stores are a ripoff with even worse customer service than best buy. I know, who knew it was possible? Also best buy has a price guarantee, so if Apple decides to drop the price in a month, they’ll usually match it.
that is a nice deal… it covers if you drop it and it cracks or you have liquid damage… thats means if you don’t get the protection plan then you drop your phone and it cracks you just waisted 700 on an iphone when if you paid the 180 a year you would just take it to best buy and get a new one…. i don’t see how thats not a deal.

I was wondering if you ever carefully changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a small more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
