SquareTrade Rolls Out New iPhone Warranty Program

[onehoop]

Does it cover accidentally leaving it in a bar before it is released to the public?

I *hate* it when that happens!

I found it's far cheaper to have it on home
insurance which includes accidental damage than to take out product specific insurance.

LTE is before 4G. It's called "beyond 3G", or as I like to refer to it, 3.5G.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_Long_Term_Evolution

Than Wimax is 3.1G. We have 4G LTE in sweden in stockholm and the speed is 80MBIT down and 40MBIT up

Wimax and EVO 4G is not 4G! It can only handle a date transfer rate like 10MBIT. In sweden it´s called Turbo 3g and we have 24 MBIT down speed in TURBO 3g.

Wimax in ********. Not real 4G. According to wikipedia LTE its 3.9G.

Am I missing something?

Before these supposed new "warranties" by At&t and Squaretrade any person could walk into an Apple store with a broken iphone (be it water or cracked screen, etc) and pay $199 for a replacement without resigning a contract OR using an upgrade. I did this myself after I dropped mine in a pool. At&t is saying that without one of these new warranties you will have to pay "full price" for a replacement ie. ~$700 but I didn't....wtf?
