I used to work at BB 5 years ago. They have 30 day price protection for some products and 14 day for others but I can't remember which products are only 14 day.
I was very angry with Telus 2 years ago and was locked into a contract with them. I wanted the Blackberry Bold 9700 and they wouldn't offer me anything. I ended up buying the phone at the $700 price point and got the best buy warrenty that is $10/month.
Within the first year I was having some problems with the BB and went into the store. I had to show them what was wrong with the phone and that my standby button was not working. I was able to trade the BB over for a brand new Iphone 4 at the time. It made year 1 and the $120 i spent on the warrenty well worth it as i did not have to extend my contract with telus. I am hoping that something will go wrong with my Iphone in the next year that will allow me to upgrade to the 4S or 5 (if it is out by then).
Even if I don't use that warrenty again (3 year plan $360 total) I still have already come out on top as I recieved a $750 phone at no additonal cost.
