"3. and the kicker...insurance is not offered by ATT for this phone. Hell they offer insurance for every other phone except this."

Oh boy. This is a phone you def need ins for at that price.

Again, AT&T (I believe it's the same with Verizon but please don't quote me.) does not offer insurance on Blackberry (PDA) type devices. This is not new, this is not restricted to the Iphone.. It is standard practice for AT&T and has been for a while. Blackberry, Treo, etc.

I am guessing the bean counters crunched the numbers and discovered that insuring the phones was not cost effective for anything greater than a standard phone. Or, maybe it's because with insurance you get a refurb phone and the BB's, Treo's, etc, are not easy to fix?
