I never take mobile phone insurance but with the 8800 I am considering it and so am wondering if anyone has any experience they can share regarding the Carphone Warehouse lifeline insurance.
I'm interested about how much of a hard time you got when you claimed, whether you got the same phone as replacement etc etc
thanks!

to be honnest I wouldnt bother, because:
such items can be put under your hominsruance under the lost/stolen policy
its a srong phone and unlikely to break
if it does break its likely to be a simple fix such as a new lcd (which costs under £100 these days for the full shabang inc the ribbon)
its going to cost you quite a bit per month, and within a year of owning the insurance you are probally going to spend more on insurance then on a replacment part or repair
and you will prbally end up selling it like the other 2/3 
Check out my sales  I am a mac fanboy  . I will honor Laffens gift of P990 flip free avartar, but I sold the p990  |

Don't like cpw myself but in this instance i would take the insurance-it's not worth the risk or cost involved if something happens and you don't have it!

they were good with me.
When I lost my P900 I didn't have my sim in it, and apparantly you had to have your sim card (which you took your contract with).
So after a little begging. They sent me a free P910

sounds like this is a goer then.
I already phoned them and signed up on Friday and they are sending the paper work but since I have 14 days to decide whether to continue, I thought I might as well ask you lot.
thanks for the feedback!
