That's an excellent point. And that's where Christopher's advice about
picking phone models comes in handy: once you're out of warranty, or
out of manufacturer's active support, you still have recourse.

Ditto, but when you find yourself in a crisis situation, it's not a
matter of wanting -- it becomes "if I had web or email access, I could
finish this right now; instead I'll have to wait for the middle of the
night when I finally get home, hope my brain is still working and that
I don't get it wrong, and that the window of opportunity hasn't
passed". So I view it as an insurance policy with benefits.
