I've only had to pay the $100 deductible one time, and it's when I dropped my first Pre the second day I had it and the screen completely cracked. I had 3 additional replacement's on the Pre after that and didn't pay for a single one. Before the Pre I had 3 replacement Centro's and prior to that 2 replacement Samsung A900 Blades. The difference between paying the deductible and not paying the deductible is physical damage. If you yourself, due to carelessness or otherwise have caused the problem you are having with your phone (dropped it/water damage etc), you pay the deductible, although if it is a KNOWN hardware issue, they may let it slide. You don't pay one if it is a manufacturer issue/software problem i.e. phone is really slow/shutting off randomly even with a brand new battery and full charge etc.
My point is, insurance is good for those of us who don't drop our phones I pay $7 a month and I've had 12 phones in 4 years, replacements and Evo included. Four years at $7/mo is $336, plus the single deductible I had to pay because of my own clumsiness is $446. So 12 phones, minus the the 4 original phones I paid for outright is 8 phones. Meaning I've paid $54.50 per replacement phone so to speak. Not too shabby.
Anyway, novel aside, good to hear you're getting it replaced for free. Honestly, I haven't even used the actual HTC charger, I've been using my Pre charger. I have hardware 003...
