So whats your point?

The person clearly stated you were in the wrong place. Too bad they couldn't tell you what they really thought with those bad mannors. I can take a pretty good guess however.

LOL ! gsquared you are funny...

I was in the right place I can assure you ! And my point is... it's no wonder WP is struggling when you cant even buy the a device from their MS' online store OR by telephone !

I'm quite sure my manners were fully acceptable considering the representative insisted on sending me to the MS (not ms store) technical support line to be asked to be transferred to WP Sales ! Nevermind I spent a total (3 calls ) of 1 hour waiting just to talk to a sale representative via the Microsoftstore.com phone number (see the number is in the attached image)

My point is.. The LAST place a business should fail is in providing SALES assistance !!!!!! Please feel free to call the number they provided and see how that goes .. and while your at it.. give the number in the attached image a try and see how that goes as well.. HORRIBLE.. If you wish to defend their lousy sales service.. be my guest.. just don't be surprised if there are fewer WP devices out there because of it.. Good luck with it.



Lose the ******'ism for a second and see the writing on the wall....
