If they are bought from a agent, amazon, best buy, ect... they are not covered at the store. The respective place you bought it from would be. I believe it works this way with most if not all phone companies.

Not true.
No matter what, when you purchase a phone you receive a warranty through both the provider as well as the maker of the phone.
Why do I know this? Because I have dropped my phone. I have put my phones into washing machines. I spilled beer on my phone. My phone fell into the ocean off of Key Largo. My phone just randomly stopped working. I have had more replacement phones than anyone else I know on Cingular, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
They all provide you with a replacement phone of the same model over night to you for like 10 bucks or several days later from the manufacturer for free. I lied about the water damage 2 times and pretended I had no idea what was wrong with the phone. And after the first replacement, they don't even charge you the $10 bucks to overnight it to you
Oh and I've bought my phones on Amazon.com, buy.com, and through a bunch of tiny local retailers. I have found that the local retailer sell you at higher cost and the phones aren't always sold as new.
