My k750i has got a few scratches on it eva since it dropped. (Sumone walking by hit my hand as i went to answer it and fell on the concrete floor lol idiot!)

i wouldnt say they're MAJOR scracthes on it, but still...its such a nice phone, and i want it to look neat lol

iv got 3moths free insurance.....so do u think carphone warehouse repair centre will replace the casing, even though they're minor scracthes?

If they dont, im gna say, jus imagine if this was ur ferrari lol....wudnt u get it fixed if it got scratched? dat will keep him quite lol

does ur ferrari insurance cover the scratches that occur due to driving at 200 miles/hr down the wrong side of the road?

I doubt they'd replace it. Not unless there was something technically wrong with the phone. If you really are despearate for them to change it you could always trash it a bit more.

Also I'd suggest getting a pivot silicon case for your phone, they look really smart and offer great protection. It'd even cover the scratches.

If you are so much concerned then pay for the new casing if those insurance guys dont give you a new one.

in my opinion, i'd not be changing coz the scratches are minor as you say. and also 2 months have gone by.

If you're worried that they won't replace it because the "scratches are minor" then just add some scratches that AREN'T so minor

Scratches are not covered under standard insurance policies! Just cough up for a replacement fascia, they are cheap enough!

The phone was accidently damaged.....NOT by ME, but by some passer-by who hit my hand accidently as he walked by and da phone fell out my hand and on to the floor and it got scratched. So hence, that is accidental damage!! So it should b covered! To get a new face put on my fone, im also going to tell em that the certain parts of the phone squeeks (which it does).....so they gna have to fix it

Whilst im at it, im also gona tel em to giv me a new battery, cz tha battery dies in about 2days, even though iv charged it for 4hours.

Anyway, im goin to carephone warehouse repair centre 2mrw, and will post up wot they said!

Can this thread be any stupider? Is there anyway this thread can be forwarded to CPW so that they can see that they are being frauded?

What's the problem sapporobaby? He states that he has insurance cover for accidental damage, so why shouldn't the scratches fall under this category and thus be a legitimate claim?

I think it's about time someone close this thread. It's turning out to be discussing illegal matters - I don't think that's what Esato is about!
