Everyone thinks it can't happen to them. Then one day, when you're least expecting it, WHAM!!!, your berry decides to run off and take a dip. You don't know what to do. You try to dive in after her but she's already hit the malicious liquid. Now you can only wish you had bought that insurance. You take the berry home and attempt to nurse her back to health but sometimes berries just don't bounce back from taking their first swim.
Now what? Now you have a permanently ill berry that doesn't do all she did before. Someone suggested stripping her for parts and buying a new berry. WTH!!??! Would you do that with a child if they became disabled? (Eh, we'll just have another and keep this one in the closet in case we need a liver or kidney).
Some of us are stuck in a pretty precarious position when it comes to insurance though. My berry was born back in December of '07 and I was unable to get insurance on her through the hospital that gave her birth (at&t). I purchased 3rd party insurance and was happy until recently when the original hospital started offering insurance on newborn berries. My 3rd party insurance company stopped carrying insurance because at&t put them out of business so now she's without any insurance at all. I called at&t and they said that unless the berry was born within the last 30 days I was still unable to get insurance from them. So now I have a berry from a company that offers insurance on berries but won't cover mine because she's too old yet the company I had insurance through stopped covering her because a major corporation drove them out of the business.
I think I'll just go sit in the corner and cry.07-13-08 10:38 AM - Damn, that is really sad. Start backing up your BB with applications and all, wait for the new BB to come out and get it, that way, you can get insurance on the new one and either sell or keep yours for backup. I would be very pi$$ed off if I were you and this happens to me. Since your BB was born in 07, is it safe to assume that in 2009, you would be eligible for a new phone upgrade or for a discount on a new phone? Check with your employer and see if they offer any discounts.Everyone thinks it can't happen to them.
