THIS IS NOT A DEBATE AS TO WHETHER THE ABOVE IS TRUE.



I ASSUME THE TITLE SINCE ITS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A REFURBISHED HANDSET TO REPLACE MY DYING NOKIA7610 (FAULT COVERED BY WARRANTY SAYS SALES CLERK).



According to them, CARPHONEWAREHOUSE!, the largest cameraphone shop in uk-maybe even phoneshop full stop, they do not have one single refurbished handset! omg lying.



it could be that sales are not popular thus they have no handsets to give back, but no..(seen bout 20 of my mates/family with them…and three 6670 <<why? Same phone) anyway.



Went to the shop, nothing, went back, nothing, phoned customer care nothing, customer services, nothing, phone repair, cpw branch, nothing. Nooo! Well no point getting stressed, only a phone...that turns itself off, that i do not have WAP/GPRS, cant send mms NOW, ..NOW I CANT USE MY T9 DICTIONARY…(denial isn’t just a river in the sea!)



I loved carphonewarehouse. They had a convenient location, could easily visit them at dinner (since my school/college is near) and they nearly always had the latest phone I want, where as other shops, even O2, VODAPHONE, T MOBILE, VIRGIN ETC, didn’t have those models they did! Always recommended that to other peeps, even though they hated it cos there’s these strange, no phone iq clerks, who were bit snooty.



Apparently, “YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A PHONE EXPERT, BECAUSE WE ARE” , quote from the carphonewarehouse advert. Huh, yeah. If you go to the doctors, your doctor will know about the body. If you go to holiday shop, people there will know bout holidays. If you go to a housing retail thingy, theyd know about houses. Point is, they know about their job. Why not then people are CPW?



As you may have noticed, if you have read this far, probably not, then shout cheese! , i have grown a slight dislike to CPW



Oh…just as I was leaving the branch it turned 11 am. Everyone just stopped moving. They all stood still and there was this photographer guy taking pics of us standing still! Its for respect to the tsunami victims btw, if u somehow didn’t know about that.

One Thing I Did Get, Which Was Gold:

Off The Record From One Of The Cpw Peeps.

Its Easier To Get A Replacement Handset If I Had Lost My Phone Or If It Was Stolen*. But Thats Nawty.


* edit: given That u have Insurance Which I Do

Heh, welcome to the world of phone retail. I'll tell you now, half the time we'd rather sit on our arse's than help customers out.

P.S. I DO NOT work for CPW, never have, never will (that I know of anyway...)

Report them to consumer court or write to nokia about it. If they don't repair their phone or no one helps and if its covered under warranty seek for legal advice if you have time and money.

thanks!

i went on the internet, reset the phone and the main problem is gone! I can use it again (to text) no thanks to CPW. Strange, apparantly a master reset, nothing was deleted, but the phone was back on top form (it wasnt a restore factory settings either) I even managed to browse some GPRS! (without opera cos i dont know how to use that)



Its stupid that they didnt know how to do something as simple as that. I think all i did was key in *# and some numbers...."experts"...yeah...

They would repair the phone but that was not a viable option since i would be without a phone for 2-3 weeks. They had no standby phone (they said that when i went there) . Also i wanted to use my cam phone over xmas n nu year!
