I don't base my decision of whether or not to add the extended warranty on how much the item costs. I am one of those irritating shoppers who does my homework. I don't buy a product because it is a good deal (although that helps), I buy based on dependability; I also know my own limitation, if its a cell phone it gets a warranty, if its a T.V. no warranty. I drop my cell phone wayyy more times than any of my other electronics. I suggest before buying warranties on items like laptops, you invest the 50 bucks for a good travel case.
Which is really great and all, but what does it have to do with a hello kitty tp dispenser?
Pretty please...with sugar on top?

"The RAZR, on the other hand, seems a bit more rugged. My sister dropped hers in a hottub and the phone itself still works but though the earpiece doesn't."
I bought a RAZR V3 about two months ago and the speaker quit working within a week. I got a replacement that has similar difficulties. i.e. it works when it wants to. I have noticed however, there seems to be some connection between the volume of the buttons and the ear speaker. If I turn off the annoying beeping sound when I push the buttons I have to use the speakerphone option to hear the people I talk to. Interestingly enough, this has been the reason I have replaced all my motorola phones previously. I know now not to buy them anymore. I think its a manufacturers defect.

"If you want to listen to the music before you buy it, try the radio; it's free. :)"
I agree to an extent. The radio version is not always the same as the album.
Some people do not have the time to stand in the local music store with all the teenagers and angle for a headset to listen to tracks before they buy. I download music, sure, when I want to hear the unedited version before I buy a CD that I won't be able to play around my kids. I don't think that constitutes stealing. Downloading one track is not going to hurt the sales. I do not however, under any circumstances download full albums, that in my opinion is theft.
Why, oh why does this never happen to me?
Yes T-Mobile has WiFi, and for just $9.99 a month (in select areas)
you can sign up for their new WiFi program that lets you make your
house a T-Mobile WiFi zone. This enables you to make all the calls
you want (incoming as well) for free, as long as you are within range
of your WiFi signal. Essentially T-Mobile is trying to be your all in
one communications dealer.
Sorry about the double post, replied to the wrong comment.

Damn! I also missed step 2...Did anyone get step 2?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
