At $6/month it gives me peace of mind and will cost me ~$150 over the 2 years I know, but if (more like WHEN) I destroy my berry (I have YET to have a phone last through the 2 years without being replaced at LEAST once) it is a fair trade in my mind since without it VZW will hit me for probably something like $400 or more (full retail) for a replacement. I'd wouldn't buy the extra insurance on a regular phone, but for sure on a Blackberry.
