Sad but true bro, I've read about people buying it on contract and not being able to pay repair fees should the phone get damaged after the warranty period is over.
I knew somebody is gonna be vexed at this comment and I don't blame you at all, after all it was Kiddish. (And I warned you about that
)

BTW, all in all did any of you ever have a run in with Apple Care (regarding warranty issues)?
The superb warranty that Apple offers on the iPhone is simply kick ass ...... I remember switching my iPhone 3G at least 3 times with a new phone (no questions asked) at apple care during the warranty period. Now who allows you to do that?
My Dad recently messed up his Nokia (within warranty) & the punks at Nokia scratched his phone while trying to repair it. At Apple, they simply replace your old phone with a new one......no questions asked.
Can you imagine using this to your advantage? I always get a new iPhone from apple care in its 11th month of warranty. In fact the extended warranty even covers 3 accidents due to your personal negligence (like dropping it on a hard surface & cracking the glass).
Plus, the subsidies that you get from Airtel or Aircel also reduce the price hit by a large margin.
