rossmnz: No mention of Japan?
I was under the impression its cheapest for the iPhone there.
On the upside your credit card (gold) should protect you from damage to products you purchase using it but im not sure of the time frame. possibly 180d?
Don't think my Gold covers that at all. If I book domestic flights and the plane crashes then I get money if I die though (this is over and above the generic "international travel insurance" most gold CCs cover).
