Actually.... YES! insurance would cover against loss or theft.

The question is, did you return the right one? Did you check the IMEI on the receipt against the one you kept? Both have a unique ID, (listed on the outside of the box & under the battery) and I'd have made sure to keep the one they thought they sent me.

Hard to say what I would have done... Depends on how they company treated me in the past. Since my provider has been pretty good about things, had I gotten it through them I would have returned it. If not though, I may have sold it to someone to re-sell on the streets of a foreign country? (There was a thread about that not long ago, btw...)

With all the trouble I have had with vodafone, I'd definatley have kept it. Such an appaling company deserves the loss in my opinion. An independant seller would have been a completely different story.

Tbh, a lot of hypocrites I bet, keeping the serendipitously acquired phone is nowhere near as bad as the many people who claim falsely off mobile insurance near the end of a contract. Not saying I would keep the phone hear

I wouldn't have the conscience to do that.

Should have told an agent. If they said don't worry about it then you'd have been morally in the clear.

Theres a good chance after 2 months an agent would have said don't mess with it.

so basically, most N900 users are would be petty criminals or fraudsters?

Count me in!

Of course returning is the right thing to do.
But it would have been even more rightful if these huge companies would thank for such nice gestures.

They are usually ('usually', not 'sometimes', 'usually') so bad with people and so bad in cheating on us... that I really feel I should give back to them some cheating.

I would probably feel bad (of course: cheating IS bad). But when I go read the small prints... ahh.. you might change your mind

vodafone didn't thanked me at all. they even reminded me to make sure handset is working otherwise iL cover the cost of repairs. quite annoying that you are not thanked by them. still atleast I felt good I have passed the temptation.
