Here is a list of AT&T INELIGIBLE for insurance, which i think is bull. Now for those with different providers does this list also apply to you and if it does not can you please give provider name and price (if allowed here of course), so i can call back AT&T customer service and tell the supervisor lady she was wrong and i can get the exception she promised if i can prove other providers offer insurance for blackberries. Thanks!
The following phones and devices
are ineligible for insurance
coverage:
• Apple (iPhone)
- All Models

Youi can get third party insurance from Asurion, or even as a rider on your homeowners.

I just am doubting you will change ATT's policy, but good luck in your endeavor.

Well latest i heard is the blackberry (in certain markets) is now able to have insurance placed on it through AT&T. I have it on my 8310/8320 in the DC Market

Good luck! You won't be the first to try by a loooong shot.

The insurance is provided by Atlantic Technology Group at reasonable rates.

According to AT&T, too many claims required them to quite offering insurance on the higher end devices, so they quit offering insurance. It is all about making money and if it is not profitable, I can not blame them for stopping.

I aggree. Remember when the Motorola RAZR first introduced? FRAUD FRAUD FRUAD claims. Not just with AT&T, but all carriers. Insurance is a nice deal to have, but look at it this way. The amount you pay per month PLUS the insurance discounted cost for a new device (yes, you'll still have to pay for one) will almost equal the amount you'll pay for a device anyway at lets say, an upgrade/renewal price.

Personally, I don't want insurance on my phone...I think insurance is just another way for them to make money. Take care of your phone, do whatever except lose it, smash it, or make it swim. You're still covered under RIM's 1 year limited warrenty. My experience with that (only with t-mob), they'll help troubleshoot the prob, if problem is not solved, they'll send you a new one with a box for you to send the old one in. I've done this twice.

Yep, I have read enough about fraud claims here to make me not want to insure their phone!
