I miss the 30 day return policies

Folks, all of you sending emails that I am not reachable on my new cell.. hang in there for a few days.. its a combination of the cell provider's unplanned growth [ They keep on adding subscribers without having the bandwidth ] + troubles with my new phone that had all your numbers in it.

Bought a nokia n70 last week and after 2 days of usage, this phone is constantly rebooting when I am in a call. When I took it back to the dealer, she put me in touch with nokia care and it takes around 2 weeks to troubleshoot this phone and then provide me with a replacement in case they cant fix the issue.

A visit to nokia-care near panjagutta was the most discouraging part. There were tons of folks complaining, moaning and bitching about the issues they were having and the standard answer was "Go to input counter and turn in the phone, we will call you in 10 days..".. Input seems to be a term for checking in the phone for service.. I was able to leverage a contact I had at nokia to get a standby phone while my original phone is in service..

Since I am talking about phones, its amazing how much folks here spend on getting the latest handsets. Its considered to be a status symbol more than anything and most of the yuppy crowd is always flaunting the latest and the greatest in mobile technology. Without getting carried away, I chose one that had all the features I needed and was around 35%th percentile of the cost range available here... Yeah I know.. I am cheap ;-)
