Phones for You, 3, Nokia - repair saga

I recently bought a new cell phone, it's a lovely phone built by Nokia (a 6680) on the 3 network. I dumped my previous provider Orange because they took almost 2 months to do a simple phone repair. Now my new phone is giving me trouble, and the fun begins.

I specifically bought one based on Symbian because the Orange Microsoft one kept hanging. Nothing new with Microsoft there I suppose. Now the Nokia keeps rebooting itself or turning itself off for no reason, sometimes in the middle of a call.

When I bought the phone I was told that 3 would give me a three day turnaround on repairs. Great, anything has to be better than 2 months. Right? Well, 3 have now said they do not support the Nokia! Right, back to Phones 4 You, their service is 28 days, they won't give out a replacement phone, won't even unlock an old phone I have so I can just swap the SIMs. This is a terrible service. I would never recomend Phones 4 You to anyone after this.

Now, I have a contract with Phones 4 You, the next time it happens I'm going to be right back to the store and demanding they fulfill the contract they agreed with me when I took the phone. They did clean the absolutely spotless battery contacts as per the repair script, so I have to wait for it to happen again before I can complain in 'anger'.

I'll keep you informed. I feel an email to Watchdog coming on all of a sudden.

What is it about spammers?

Do spammers really think that ticking off a blogger by messing up his posts is going to generate more business?

It's bad enough by email never mind this as well now. I'll leave the spam on the previous post, just so everyone can see what tossers they are. Rather than having an open forum, I've now closed it such that only registered members can post. These morons have already screwed up email, the rest of the internet is now game for them as well.

Been busy the past few months and kind of forgot about this

Let's try and keep up with it this time.

I'm trying out Flock as a blog manager so with the combination of new technology it'll give me something to play with
