Where have I seen it?

My daughter has a VK530,on Vodafone payg,which she got for Chrstmas.

It was a Vodafone refurb,but the battery won't last more than a day without being recharged.I took it into Vodafone during the holidays,and the guy in the shop says it's normal for to be recharged daily because of it's size.Then he says if we want,he can send it away,and it may come back with a more powerful battery,so methinks that Vodafone know the batteries are crap in this phone,and await you taking it back,so they can send it away to have a new one put in,therby when it comes back,you are too late to get your money back.

I have to say,she hasn't made any calls on it yet,but sent a few texts,and plays on the games,but I'm still not happy with the phone,so.....

What timescale can I use to get my money back?

And finally,I've seen a V220 in pink for about the same as the VK530,(£60) but can't remember where I've seen it,or what network it was on,so what is it like in comparison,and will she be better with this?

That's my mutt in the picture above.

    Battery life on a v220 is superb.
    They are renowned for long life.

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
