Dropped the T68 (yes yes i know!)...has some scuff marks. i've got insurance with the Carphone warehouse, but i doubt it'll cover MINOR cosmetic damage. I've found though, i can scratch off the paint around (and carry on down) the scuff/scratch mark. It flakes off after a while like those scratch cards!!?
It isnt cronic...but it's abit wierd. Any ideas apart from shoe polish!?! (JOKE!!!)
Thanks in advance,
Dan. |

If one wanted to make an insurance claim one could perhaps "accidentally" lose the phone or "accidentally" run over it with ones car. This would provide one with a new phone.

Heheh, i thought that aswell...then i though..
If i get my phone changed once (by accidental damage), do i lose all my insurance?
Or could i say, (Really!...not 'accidentally' loosing it) Say if i did actually drop it one time > Get it replaced, then get the replacement stole would i get a new one then? or is it only one replacement?
Thanks,
Dan.
Plus - say if i got one of nightic's black/gold covers (not official) and fitted it. Then it went faulty....the SC would obviously know it's been opened cause it's got a different cover on - warrenty void? Or do the SC fit it? |

NO UNLESS YOU TAKE THE PISS WITH MANY CLAIMS

Whether you do or don't get a replacement from the insurance, just another tip to avoid further damage: Get an ICT-13 holster and use it as a protective cover. (Though it just partly protects the T68).
Just my € 0.02

@jammods
Fit it before i go in?...im saying, If i bought a WHITE T68 Cover, and fitted it before i go in, they would know i tampered with the T68 because no where sells a brand new T68 with any colour other than the grey/gold.
So they'd know it had been tampered - warrenty over.
Night IC - any ideas? |

I meant fit your old grey or gold cover back on if you ever have to send the phone for warranty work etc. Its only a couple of screws mate, not rocket science believe me I took mine apart the other day. |
