If i was in your situation i'd just ask for the cash equivelant and buy an N900, or ask them if you can buy one and send you proof of purchase for reimbursement

Don't do Ebay unless you have to. I would suggest Craigslist. You would save yourself a good bit of cash.

The most annoying thing about this is that my insurance is the default insurance (unless you opt out) for every (contract?) N900 bought from the official Nokia store!
I was going to get Vodafone insurance, but actually thought this problem might occur with vodafone. I was sure the insurance Nokia sold me, even though not administered by Nokia, would be able to get me a N900!
I might actually email Nokia to see what they say, since they sold me the insurance.

1) Well you could get whatever phone is the most expensive and sell (as suggested).
2) You can try one of those phones and see if you might want to switch (Desire is great and many hacks for it, basically a smaller HD2 with trackpad)
(HD2 does WM6, WP7, Froyo but a bit rough on the edges)
(Blackberry eww)
3) Try to "push" the insurance claim into giving you a better phone (suggest the HTC Desire Z/G2 because that is a good qwerty upgrade which now has been hacked ... use the qwerty and froyo as comparison to the N900)
(They may suggest a Milestone, which your screwed cause it is an equivalent phone which has 1 current major drawback = locked bootloader, great phone nonetheless)
