Re: 4th defective device
why do people find it so hard to believe that someone has got 4 defective devices , why do people prefer to believe that someone would go out of their way to come ona forum and lie about getting 4 defective devices? I can believe it because it has happened to me several times and nokia's and other manufactuers quality control isn't like what it used to be
I have had
n97 handsets - loose hinges , scratched camera lens , dust under screen
n8 handsets - purple screen problems on 4/5 handsets before giving up even though my gfriends n8 didn't have it
808 - purple screen problem , dust under camera lens , one with creaky battery cover before I got a decent one
920 - wonky silver camera surround , light bleed from near back button , light bleed from near the search button , creaky housing when pushed in certain places , scratched polycarbonate plastic finally got a decent one
s4 - had two that came with chunks missing out of the silver surround , small chunks , but still a fault out of the box
not being funny but when I spend ?400/?500 on a device I expect a pretty good one , not one built on a Friday afternoon just before a bank holiday weekend or otherwise known as a lemon ;-) the thing is you can have two of the exact device in your hands and you can see that one is built better then the next one , with amazon they send you out a new one and you send the faulty one back and it really puzzles me how two exact devices can be built so differently , one can feel tight and well made but have dust under the camera the next can be perfect then it creaks when you touch it???
to be honest its bloody annoying , you go to buy your dream device , a gadget you've been waiting for , set it up and play with it , then notice a fault , you have to reset it , send it back or wait for the new one to turn up , set it up again etc etc its tedious and I don't think anyone would choose to get 4 defective units one after the other but it does happened and when it happends to you it isn't nice and causes lots of un-needed hassle :-/
