People do seem to forget that though this is a phone and should be able to widthstand a drop, it is also a cutting edge piece of technology. Well certainly as far as mobile phones go.
It has a colour screen that is almost the same size as the full unit. The colour screen is also a touch screen so is fairly un protected (with most other mobiles you have a hard plastic layer infront of the screen to protect it, the P800 only has a soft sheet of plastic).
This is an expesive piece of kit, my advice is get insurance so you don't have to worry should you accidentally drop it! |

If you like to live on the edge why not take up an extreme sport?
Go sky diving, bungee jumping, hang gliding while wrestling an alligator but not insuring your phone isn't exactly living on the edge! It's just common sence to insure it unless you are absolutely sure you're not going to have an accident.... |

Thats my point, I didn't think I needed to continue saying 'and no one can be 100% certain' because I know that 99% of the people on esato don't need it spelling out to them.

Exactly!!!
The main problem with insurance is those who abuse it.
I have, what used to be, an insurance where there were no fees attached to getting repairs done or getting a new phone if it was beond repair.
Now, because too many chucked their phones away and reported them stolen, there will be esculating fees for each time the insurance is used.

I dropped my P800 2 days ago. It fell from a desk while I was trying to pull out the HPR-20 wires under it...
I picked it up and in a few seconds the screen displayed "Insert SIM card". Thats all. Restarted the phone and its working fine since then.
However, I must say I got hurt more than my P800. 
Dropping my precious P800 is perhaps one of my worst nightmares. I'd rather fall from my desk 10 times than have my P800 fall even once.
Do you guys love your P800s that much...
