I spoke with Asurion (T-Mobile's insurance affiliate) and the Nexus One is supported though them, it's $4.79/mo and proof can be found on their website:
http://www.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile-program
They weren't able to answer my question if I would get another N1, and I didn't have a lot of time but I'll inquire tomorrow about it further.
Everybody should still be within 14 days of the purchase and you can still add it to your T-Mobile plan (though keep in mind as CSRs we were originally told it couldn't be used on a nexus so you might have to convince the rep to add it, show them that link any rep can load that URL.)
I would consider skipping asurion and go with SQUARE TRADE warranty service.. flat fee and includes accidental dropping and water damage, reaosnable price.
I covered my HTC HERO this way... They claim to cover all smartphones... but coverage is limited to $400, so then again, not sure the total costs comparison over time. (I will say this: I had used Asurion for 2 differnt t-mobile phones, and surprisingly they were always easy to get replacement phones from; not at all what you normally expect from an insurance co when it's time for a payout.)
but just fyi:

I spoke to a Tmo rep this past weekend who assured me the Nexus One can be added to an existing policy, but cannot be added (by Tmo) if you don't already have one. He said he spoke to Asurion personally, and spoke to his managers.
I just got off the phone with T-mobile and they were able to add insurance for my Nexus One for 5.99 and will replace it with another Nexus One for 130.
I got insurance
If you have a decent bank account in the UK, you get free mobile phone insurance. I insured mine with Lloyds bank today.
Change your insurance to the $4.79 option, the $5.99 includes T-Mobile's warranty program which is not covered (but it will cover any other T-Mobile phone you have used before!)
Just called T-Mobile and the CSR transferred my G1 insurance to the Nexus One (Cheaper by ~$1 a month).
What exactly does this warranty cover....
Glass break?
Theft?
Water damage?

+1 on squaretrade, their warranty is much better, and they process claims really fast.
Squaretrade doesn't cover loss or theft. Asurion covers pretty much anything but acts of war as long as the nexus is the last device used on your sim card.
I just confirmed that my nexus one is covered by asuripn which is pretty sweet.
I called and got mine switched from the $5.99 plan to the $4.79 plan.
It was funny the rep on the phone mentioned the 14 day period to get the insurance then asked me when I got the phone to see if I could get the insurance.
Me: "It's only been out a week."
Her: *awkward silence*
I pay jus $30 a year with state farm in the u.s. to have mine insured

Yes, yes and yes. Asuiron is awesome. Squaretrade is a complete ripoff. Good luck if you lose your device. And between what you pay for the deductible ($50), the difference in price between what you get ($399 max) and the cost of the device ($530) and the cost of the warranty, you are better off not getting any coverage.
Remember, Asurion offers INSURANCE and Squretrade offers a WARRANTY. You have a 1-year warranty with HTC anyway. Asurion will cover it no matter what. They had a G1 in my hands in less than 48 hours. I put it a claim at 6PM on a Monday, they confirmed it on Tuesday and I had the phone Wednesday morning. There is a $130 deductible and $4.79/month but I must say that the first few days without insurance was nerve-racking. For less than $5/month I pretty much don't care what happens to my phone now. It is worth every penny.
Just an update to all of this.
Firstly, thanks very much to AndroidAppCritic for all the help!!!!
Secondly, i finally got my Nexus One. Went to my local T-Mo store this afternoon, told them what plan i wanted (Even More Plus 500) and after the entire store ooooohhh and aaaahhhhh over the Nexus, the sales girl asked if I wanted the $4.79 or $5.99mo coverage for the phone. I was shocked and told her what a fiasco it had been for users earlier in the week.
anyway, thanks again to everyone and off I go into "happy land"
I called Tmobile today.... had my handset insured in like 5 minutes total. There was really no confusion from the phone rep.
Thanks for everyones advise and input above!

Does this cover theft & drop/break?
Just spoke with asurion and they told me it covers lost stolen or phyically damaged with a 130 deductible
Just called T-mobile to add the $4.79 coverage. Easy breezy.
Squaretrade now offers a 24-month $599 coverage policy for the Nexus One, Droid, and other expensive phones. It includes accidental damage. Cost is $144+tax. I paid about $109 using a 20% off coupon (NEWYEAR).
This is much better coverage than Asurion / T-Mobile offers, and with the discount it's priced about the same. (Slightly cheaper.)
I wish it could be purchased without the extended warranty, since my credit card offers that for free, but I feel a lot better with accidental damage coverage!
Note: I do not have any prior experience dealing with this company.
Thank you for contacting SquareTrade.
We appreciate your interest in SquareTrade Care Plan.
Yes, we do provide a warranty for the new Nexus One from Google.
We provide coverage for brand new Premium Smart Phones such as the Nexus One purchased from retailer/e-tailer up to $599, regardless if it were purchased up front or on a contract (regardless of the price), for $144.
Additionally, for retail bought items you have 90 days following the item purchase date to get a SquareTrade warranty.
Below given are our coverage details for a new cell phone purchased from a retailer:
Our standard warranty covers mechanical and electrical failures that occur during normal use. You get 100% Parts & Labor coverage with zero deductibles.
Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) is also included in cell phone plan.
ADH covers eligible items from liquid spills, drops, or any other accidental damage from handling ($50 deductible from coverage limit applies to ADH claims).
However, any repairs for any electronic or mechanical issues due to normal wear and tear would not be subject to any deductibles.
For more information, please visit the Learn More section of our website at http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/learn-more-warranty-buyer.
Furthermore, on new items, our coverage starts from the date of item purchase. If you purchased your item as new, some part of this period will overlap with the manufacturer's warranty that comes with your item. Most new items we cover come with a one year manufacturer's warranty.
ADH coverage starts 30 days after date of item purchase, and does not cover pre-existing conditions, willful damage, negligent use, software, theft or loss.
If you have a problem with a covered item while the manufacturer's warranty is still in effect, we will refer you to them so they can resolve the problem with your item. If you need assistance, we will provide any contact information we have for the manufacturer, as well as advice on how to file a claim with them. Using your manufacturer's warranty first allows you to save the value of your SquareTrade warranty for a future failure.
Moreover, you would be able to purchase this warranty and view any additional coverage details using the following link:
http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/cellphone-landing3
Hope that answers your question! If not, go here to view the contract summary. You can also reply to this email or call 1-877-WARRANTY (1-877-927-7268) US & Canada only, 24/7.

Where do you see that Asurion does not cover accidental damage? They clearly state coverage for loss, theft, and damage (even water damage). Where does that exclude accidental damage?
Is SquareTrade's coverage tied to a specific phone? One of the reasons I liked Asurion is that it covers whatever phone I'm using at the moment. So for now it would cover my N1, but when I upgrade in 6-9 months (I wish)...it'll automatically cover the new phone.
Just checking out the coverage at SQ.. note the bold...
"Assumes coverage is purchased for 24 consecutive months. Please note that SquareTrade does not cover loss. Terms and conditions of other providers’ warranty/insurance plans may vary, please refer to each providers terms for details on their coverage. Prices are accurate as of 12/1/2009. Copyright SquareTrade 2010. All brands or products are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders."
and...
"No Coverage from Loss: There is no coverage against lost or stolen phones. You can always cancel your warranty and receive a refund if that happens."
No offense, and I'm not trying to start anything, but I'm glad I went with Asurion..
Yeah that's definitely a requirement for me. Half the reason I'm getting insurance for my N1 is for theft/loss.
I've never lost a phone, so I can take my chances there.
My problem with Asurion is that the way I read their contract, they can replace your phone with anything they want to... Any phone of any value. Perhaps they don't do that, but it's what I saw in the contract.
Basically all insurance plans are heavily biased toward the insurer. At the end of the day you decide what perils you want insured and whether it's worthwhile. There are reasons for going either way.
There has been a lot of discussion about warranty for galaxy s2 for users in USA.
I have found some definite answers. Summary is : none of them will get warranty in usa but needs to be shipped to UK/Europe.
I was planning to buy one handset but holding back due to the lack of warranty.
However if someone has got other info please add it here
1. Handtech : I sent a mail and this is the reply that i got.
If you needed to claim on the warranty for the Galaxy II then it would more than likely have to come back to us I'm afraid as it is only covered by a UK warranty. However, sometimes Samsung in Europe will help but we obviously cannot guarantee this as it would be their decision.
2. Expansys-usa - Talked over the phone -
Told me they will help me ship the phone to UK. But i dont know how fast that is going to be.
Hope this someone here
Pretty much as is and as has been reported .
Two warranty suppliers one the seller and two Samsung .
Samsung have said in the past that they cover warranty within Europe providing user has receipt from authorized seller .

My company buys $10MM a year in Samsung TVs. My global account rep checked with the retail electronics group and said it would be serviced at any Samsung repair center worldwide. I'd take that over a shop clerks statement.
Here's an excerpt from the e-mail I received:
In the event that warranty service is required on your Samsung Mobile product and you are located outside of the country where it was originally purchased, the local Samsung entity in the foriegn countries listed below may be able to provide you with warranty service (labor or parts) during your warranty period.
Any warranty services rendered shall be in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the Samsung Mobile Products Limited Warranty. Warranty services performed outside the country of purchase may take longer if parts are needed to repair.​
Samsung posted a reply to a consumer and that was the basis of my statement regarding warranty in Europe .
So one part of Samsung differers with another .
Personally if its an international model i would expect warranty to be covered worldwide .
Buy one from Europe break it take it to Samsung USA service centre will be the test .

So true. That's the only real test. Personally, I'd rather not be first.
I was sending tweets to @galaxyssupport and they wouldn't give me the time of day. Referred me to SamsungUK as "its not a US market phone." SamsungUK has yet to repsond to me. That was a few days ago.....
Anybody have updated info on this? I bought from Expansys and would like to know who I would talk to regarding a warranty covered issue. Thanks.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I bought from Handtec, had to return it for replacement (screen issue diff from ring or yellow). They shipped back using Royal mail, took forever b/c of the Canada post lockout.
The point is shipping back and forth for issues on a phone that seemed to have a propensity for initial quality errors, could get expensive.

Cost me approx 79.10cdn to ship back via Fedex. (Canada Post would have cost me $69 but they were on strike &or locked out).
Sent it back June 16, 2011 and received my phone July 11, 2011. (i had my old phone to use in the meantime)
It was just super annoying to check tracking and seeing that it hadn`t left UK for weeks because of the mail lockout, esp when they could have shipped it fedex. Oh well, at least I have it back now.
I just went with SquareTrade. Cost $94 for 2 years with ADH. Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) coverage.

If you're in the U.S. might want to look into that. I called them before and because it doesn't have a standard U.S. warranty, it is not covered by Squaretrade.
Of course they have no way of knowing if your phone has warranty here in the U.S. or not, so they let you set it up. Make sure you can keep it, if not cancel it before the 30 free days are up.
You can buy a SGS2 at Amazon right now for $673 with free shipping (if you have Amazon Prime). Probably won't have to pay tax either unless you live in WA state (or some other unlucky state). Amazon has a 30 day return policy.
So, total Amazon cost without warranty is most likely $673.
If you buy from Expansys USA, you pay $700 plus tax. The tax for my state is $54. In addition, I give another online vendor my personal information and billing details.
So total Expansys USA cost is most likely $754. For me, it's an extra $81 over Amazon. Or 12% more.
What do you get for that $81? You probably get a two year warranty against manufacturing defects. Amazon is one month. It's unclear whether you have to ship it back to the UK. If you do and you pay the same as benivolent (thanks for the info, benivolent), you'll pay another $70 or so and wait at least 10 business days.
So, if you to ship it back the UK, total Expansys USA cost is most likely $824. For me, it's an extra $151 over Amazon. Or 22% more.
Even if you have to replace the screen which costs $350 (according to BarryH_GEG), the actual savings is $199 if you have to ship back to the UK or $269 if you can get it repaired at a Samsung service center. Of course, if a button fails after the first month, the savings will be much less or nothing at all.
So, from a breakeven standpoint, paying up for the warranty only makes sense if you think there is more than a 12% or 22% chance of something major breaking after the first month.
For me, the more like scenario is I drop or lose my SGS2.
Let's say we can get SquareTrade accidental damage from handling coverage for $94 or 14%. It might be useful if you drop your SGS2 in a puddle or drop it without a protective cover. In that case, you definitely want to buy from Amazon. However, that coverage is questionable given what Oat23 said. Your SGS2 may not be covered since it doesn't have a standard U.S. warranty.
Nothing will cover you if you lose your SGS2.
Personally, I never damaged any of my phones from dropping them and I never lost one. So it has paid for me in the past to forego insurance. That's hundreds of dollars in savings. If I continue my good luck, I'll save a minimum of $81 on my SGS2 purchase. Of course, whether you want to pay up for a warranty or insurance is a personal choice. However, they say the safest driver is one with a cop in the rearview mirror. Maybe the safest SGS2 owner is one without a warranty.

Whoa, lot's of info.
For purchase, I'd go a third route - clove.co.uk. It's $415 GBP ($670 USD) delivered in three days. It'll be fresh UK stock. If it has a defect, you'd be stuck with one-way shipping but someone else had a problem and Clove was good to work with. By purchasing it in the country of intended sale it's covered by the two-year warranty. My company does a lot of business with Samsung and I was told that the phone could be repaired in the U.S. under their Global Warranty program. It's yet to be tested though. If I bought from Amazon it would be through them direct, not an affiliated seller. To your point, if the first phone's defective in any way, they'd be the cheapest and fastest way to get an exchange. Expansys-USA would be second but they'd be more expensive. Both Amazon and Expansys have shipped phones from funky places like Poland and Chile. I got my phone from the UK and it was perfect. I'm guessing with 3MM sold your chances of getting "perfect" would be a lot higher than "crappy" if you went the UK route.
As for SquareTrade they do cover grey market phones. If you can Google a 30% off coupon it's $94 for $600 of coverage for two-years. It's also transferable which makes the phone more valuable on eBay if you ever want to sell it. I'd bet they'd cover the cost of shipping to the UK for warranty repairs also - it's cheaper than them having to eat the phone at the full $600 of coverage. The screen alone is $450 to replace so, to me, the $94 is worth the piece of mind and as a back-up to the Samsung warranty.

You are correct. I checked as well a couple of months ago and they said if it is a UK version of the phone, Squaretrade will not cover it in the U.S.
One way they will know it does not have a US warranty is if you purchased it from and overseas vendor since Squaretrade requires you send in a copy of the purchase receipt. The other problem is even if you bought it from a US vendor and the phone fails in the first year, Squaretrade will tell you to work with the manufacturer since it is "covered" in the first year warranty period.
I guess another option is if you bought it from a U.S. vendor and you have an Accidental Damage policy you could smash the phone with a sledgehammer, accidentally, and try to submit a claim and pay any deductible. But if that doesn't work, all you have are pieces of the phone left.

The only time Squaretrade "may" cover a grey market cell phone is if it was purchased through eBay. Squaretrade has specialized warranties for eBay purchases. Otherwise, Squaretrade will not cover grey market cell phones.
On the cell phone warranty sign up page, in the fine print it states "The SquareTrade cellphone warranty prices listed above are applicable to new Cell Phones (with a full 1 year manufacturer warranty) purchased from authorized outlets."
Then on the grey market FAQ it states "SquareTrade honors every valid claim, and only voids a warranty if the item was never eligible for a Care Plan or in cases of outright fraud."
In the case on of a non-ebay grey market phone, it is never eligible for a Care Plan in the first place.
That is what they told me when I asked a couple of months ago. If you hear differently from Squaretrade I would love to know (and a contract name and email for Squaretrade to set me up).

From their U.S. terms and conditions:
If the manufacturer refuses to honor their warranty because they consider your item grey market or not purchased from an authorized retailer, we will still cover you.
Here's a link to their full terms and conditions.
http://www.squaretrade.com/merchant/learn/summaryPopup.html
I sent them my UK receipt to have on file so I can go paperless if I need to file a claim. My policy has been updated online to show "receipt received and on file." I checked a lot of different options and their the only ones I could find that would cover a grey market phone.
So I've been looking around for insurance for my SGS2. All the UK/EU insurers won't touch a phone being used primarily in the U.S. Somebody said SquareTrade doesn't insure grey market phones. Here's what I found in their T&C:
- If your item is used, or doesn't have a US manufacturer's warranty of at least 90 days ("Other"), then the Service Agreement begins on the 61st day after item purchase and lasts for the number of years of coverage you specify at purchase time.
- If the manufacturer refuses to honor their warranty because they consider your item grey market or not purchased from an authorized retailer, we will still cover you.
So it seems for ADH and mechanical defects they'll cover the phone up to $600 with a $50 deductible for two years. They don't cover loss or theft. Here are the complete T&C.
https://www.squaretrade.com/merchant/learn/summaryPopup.html
The price is $124 plus tax. But use "JULY04" as a coupon code and it drops to $94. I'd rather have something that covered loss or theft too but it doesn't seem like a bad deal for the peace of mind.
I'm waiting on a reply from ensquared.com, but their's is more comprehensive and up to $1000. I'll post back tomorrow with the reply.
Good find but this is in their terms and conditions as excluded:
Covered Products not readily available in the United States through Communication Service Providers (overseas unlocked phones).
just use your home insurance or rental insurance to cover it.. extra $20 for me

Not right now, those plans are usually very expensive with very high deductibles. For example, if you do lose your phone, you'll be paying $165 deductible plus the price of your plan. In most cases, you won't lose it within the 2 year contract time frame. It's of course all risk, but most likely you'll drop it a few times and need to fix it.
