If I buy a mobile from a sales company, can I still insure it directly through the network?

I found a deal on phones4u for a HTC desire HD I want with Orange as the network provider. Orange said they won't match the price directly in store, as I wasn't previously a customer with them. however, I do want it insured. But the insurance phones4u

Mobile insurance companies are different to networks. Biggest insurance company of electrical goods and mobile phone is Domestic and General, try with them you might get good deal.

HTC Ice Cream Sandwich Android update: Why ICS won't solve fragmentation woes

18.05.12

Back at Google I/O, The Big G said it was going to fight fragmentation with ICS, ensuring new phones would work with the latest upgrades for 18 months after their release. The merits of this were debated, with networks and manufacturers entering into this agreement voluntarily. But fast forward six months, and HTC’s announcement is indicative of the problem rearing its head once again.

If the latest HTC phones are only getting ICS in ‘early 2012’, then when exactly are older handsets going to get in on the act? Probably not until spring next year, by which point all the talk will be Android 5.0 and new devices. Punters who shelled out on phones that aren’t exactly creaking are going to be left waiting, just as they were with FroYo and Gingerbread before.

HTC is not alone in its sluggishness. The still top-end Samsung Galaxy S2 won’t see the update until Q2 of 2012, this despite Sammy making the first ICS phone, the Galaxy Nexus. HTC, though, is a very different position. Its vast portfolio of Android phones is coming back to haunt it, as it has to try and appease owners using a variety of different handsets. It’s becoming ever clearer that this means it can’t please everyone and that those who stumped up for phones only a few months ago, Desire S owners especially, are being left hanging. Entirely unfairly in my opinion.
