Can anyone tell me how the Squaretrade Warranty works? If I pre-order the phone on amazon does the warranty start on ship date, or date of pre-order?
Should I buy the warranty once I get the phone, or with pre-order?
I'm going to get two phones, so when I get the Warranty do I have to give a S# of one of the phones for the Warranty?
Thanks

You get a 1 yr manufacturer warranty (from Nokia). If you have a credit card in the USA your credit card may offer an additional year warranty if you buy the product with the credit card (E.g. my VISA card gives me an additional 1 yr warranty) so I am now covered for 2 years.
The SquareTrade warranty, has to be bought off Amazon (for $50) but this requires you to buy the n900 from Amazon. This one is for 3 years. You can buy the warranty from SquareTrade directly but it will cost more than $50 (though not now with holiday discounts) and will cover you less (2 yrs instead of 3). These warranties start the moment you buy the device so in reality your only covered for the two years after the first year's manufacture warranty expires.
For SquareTrade you need to send them your invoice of wherever you purchased the the device.

How do you know if your credit card is eligible for the extra year warranty?

Best way though is to call the customer service of your credit card and inquire to make sure.

Though this does not cover accidental damage (drops, spills, etc..). The one you posted covers drops, spills, etc..

$50? Where is that? I could only find this Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Your item must have been bought on Amazon. If you bought your item elsewhere, please call us at1.877.Warranty.

how about worldwide warranty?
or is it only in the country you bought the nokia phone?

Does the n900 have a warranty if I buy it from Dell, or Amazon? Is buying an extended warranty worth it. I know when buying one for most electronics (supersonic) its mostly B.S.
So should I buy and extended?
