HELP! - Refund / Exchange !!!

2»

Comments

  • If the phone were to be faulty then it could be taken back and a refund obtained. Phones have been known to be less than 100% reliable in the past, sometimes failing at the most opportune moments.
  • You can try an exchange, a friend has just done the exact same thing, funnily enough, also with the 360 which she despised....They exchanged it for a Satio.

    what problems was your friend having with the 360?
    -> I think i'll go in today with the "list" of problems that is wrong with it, and with the "mis-sold" approach - as i asked for all these apps on my phone and v-fone said it had and then it turns out these apps don't exist!

    Well many things don't work:
    - Bought for facebook - but there is no app like the v-fone promised, there is this 360 thing which only shows status updates, you can't comment on these status's, you can't view peoples facebook photos like v-fone said you could!
    -youtube app - comes out at 1/100th of the quililty that you would expect, you can't even make out what your watching!
    - the menu skips back to the start when you try to flick across it!
    - texting buttons (keyboard) rarely detects the correct letter!

    Just generally is useless and doesn't work like you would expect!
    I am in the same position purchased the M1 it hasn't delivered on virtually any of the functionality it promised, am very disappointed. The advice from the shop varies from the assistance online and even the online help can give you up to three different solutions to problems - none of which end up resolving the problem!! Is it worth approaching trading standards?

    Your best bet is to contact consumer direct, they are the consumer facing front of trading standards.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
