For those of you that are clumsy it looks like some company has just release handheld insurance. I just saw the story on palmgear: http://www.palmgear.com/news/showne...mp;resID=11731. Here is the insurance companies website: http://www.palmslostorstolen.com/

I have no affiliation with this company, just thought this was an interesting story.

Staples...

I purchased the Staples insurance, and recently dropped my Visor. I brought it in, and they game me a new one; no questions asked

The Staples warranty said that too. Maybe it was the incoherency of the clerk that let my dropped Visor slide by. I like it because it gave me a sense of security.

PDA Insurance

Great to be covered!

I have to give kudos to the PalmsLostOrStolen.com folks. The service is a great idea, and 3.99 a month is not a bad price for insurance, even with a $35 dollar deductible.. but what REALLY sold me is that backupbuddy software is included in the deal. Backup Buddy usually costs 29.99 anyway, so that's equivalent to 7 months of free insurance!

How can they verify "stolen"?

can you spell P O L I C E R E P O R T ?

I thought you could. This is just a guess, but it's pretty much SOP for an insurance company.
