Good news for those of you that get angry and smash lose your PDA on a regular basis: AT&T is planning to expand their insurance options to include PDAs come June 2nd, 2008.

Insurance will cost $4.99 per month, with two different pricing tiers for deductibles:

  • Tier I: Most standard phones, $50 dollar deductible.
  • Tier II: High end phones and PDAs, $125 dollar deductible.

Contrary to some reports, these options will not cover the iPhone.

Insurance is only available to those initiating a new contract and those who have purchased their phones within the last 30 days.
