crap i'm pissed...i just dropped my phone from about 3 feet in height onto my hardwood floors...it rattled around a bit...and when i picked it up to look at the screen there's a black stripe! i figure the lcd cracked.

my question is...do you think i could get the insurance for it...and wait like a month or two ...and tell them that my phone broke?

btw i have att and it was a nokia 3560.

i didnt think you could get insurance unless you get it when you buy it

So...you're seeking approval from folks up here for an unethical maneuver on your part?

Hope you have a flame-retardant suit on!

I figured they would at least have a store check the phone before you get the insurance. Also, how much will the insurance cover?

i'm a poor college student...
i think this might just give me reason to buy/change to a gsm plan/phone now...it just amazes me...cuz i've had this phone lil more than 5 months...and this was only the second time i dropped it

as for ethics...i'm sure there are ppl far worse....devious plots from prior black fridays come to mind
