eXDee: Just stay wary of what you're carrying.
Ragnor: Insure it?
aim: Ok one major concern I have with dropping $900 on a phone is what happens when I'm out partying, on the town while otp or doing extreme sports where damage is a real concern (I do a lot of snow skiing and wakeboarding etc - i've dropped a phone off a boat before, I've also lost a phone on the mountain). What are your solutions? Are there people out there with the same concerns?

Simplest solution is dont' be an idiot and look after your stuff.
If you can't do that, then *seriously* don't waste your money. Buy cheap stuff until you grow up.
Not the answer you want, I'm sure.....but it is the only real solution to the problem you pose.
One guy on here had a Nexus One in his (buttonless) shirt pocket when he jumped up to touch a sign......tossing his week-old $1000 phone onto the concrete and smashing it.
No phone can withstand the imaginative destructive capabilities of people who don't think before they act.

1. Keep your GPS on no matter how it affects your battery. That means you can't lose it. Period. Look it up on Google Maps.
2. Leave in your car or at home and take a cheaper phone if you're gonna get rugged with it.
3. Any other time, keep it in case in a pocket with a button or zip on the FRONT of your body so you don't sit on it or bash it on anything. or maybe in a bag / backpack you always carry and NEVER lose.
