Hi I've just bought a new Dell Streak and would like to get it insured against loss, accidental damage including water damage, theft etc I have found many companies online but don't know which one to trust. Can anyone recommend a good company that is trustworthy and will insure my gadget and give me peace of mind that they won't try wriggling out of helping me if something goes wrong
:p

    Do you need it it might be covered under your house insurance.

    oh I never thought about that I want to be covered for all eventualities ie; loss, damage, water damage, fraudulant calls etc I thought I'd have to get special insurance for that

    Fraudulent calls you will but the rest might be covered under your house insurance, you'll need to check they cover things away from you home and the excess to see if its worth it.

    23n1th I love you lol I got on to Legal and General and they said that for just an extra £16 on my policy I would be covered for everything except fraudulant calls. I am amazed how much that's saved me I'd been quoted £96 by a mobile insurer because this is such a new phone. I can't thank you enough for educating me and leading me in the right direction you've saved me £80 and now I have instant peace of mind. :T
    :p

    Glad I could help, I'm normally called a troll on these forums.
