2 months in and My N958gb has died

And i thought O2/CPW had poor customer service..

Voda surpassed themselves today,

a warranty repair could take 21 days, (eek) a shop repair may take 7-14 days.

they dont do next day replacement under insurance, and they didnt even know where my nearest shop was.

14 days now to decide if a phone works ok,

unless they pull it out of the bag, I shall be jumping ship in 10 months time

Weird. Every time my phone has gone **** they've had a replacement out to me, no questions asked, next working day. In fact last time I think it may even have been the same working day...

Guess I must spend too much with them.

im due for a upgrade & was thinking of a Nokia N95 with da 8Gb but alot of ppl have said that they all seem to have problems with it, I was told by a orange customer that they had to send back over 10,000 of there first batch back to Nokia to get them all sorted out (OS & afew other things too)

i wish u all the best with a good result on your phone......

na the normal one is even worse, the battery wont last throughout the day. is a nice phone with good spec, but usability is terrible. will cost you so much if your provider charges to repair it.

trust me i work in a phone shop. steer clear of the phone

It's a great phone imo, and I'm very happy with it.

The N95 has a habit of switching itself off despite it having plenty of battery. I also had this with another Nokia so I've switched to Samsung and not had any problems.

I got through 3 N95s last year, then lost the 4th while in Laos

I'm now using a 5-6 year old T68 that i found gathering dust in a shoebox and it has never gone wrong and i really don't feel the need for anything more, back to basic

Mine's OK so far. A friend today has one of the earlier ones and she just complained of short battery life. A FW upgrade would help but she hasn't got the savvy to do this so she'll have to live with it ...
