Eye Eye here I come!

[hazi1964]

So I am getting one. Lol. Not the way I had intended though. I decided I wasn't happy with the Three network as well as the rubbish handset so rang today to cancel and return. Alas, because I have made calls and sent texts, they refuse to let me cancel even though I am within the specified timescale. I kept quoting the sale of goods act to them and the distance selling regulations but they point blank refused to cancel unless I agree to a charge. I refused to agree so they refused to cancel. Oh joy. I've written to their ceo so will have to see what happens.

Meanwhile, I called T-Mobile, my current provider as they have some good deals at the moment. I have ordered the Eye Eye on a truly unlimited internet plan, phone is free, tariff a bit steep but manageable, especially as I won't have a landline once I cancel that.

So tonorrow I will have my new toy, in white to match my white iPad. Hopefully I will Have heard back from the ceo of three by then too and will have a better idea of what I can do.

I just know once I have the s2 I won't want to get rid of it so will fight my corner with three and let them take me to court if need be. I'm covred by DSR and Sale of Goods Act so can't see them winning in a court battle to be honest. Will meanwhile just stop using their network and pack the phone away so that it doesn't get damaged.

Can't wait for my s2 to arrive tomorrow, cancelled my dental appointment rather than wait another day. Lol.

Soooooo exciting getting new toys. Lol

lol @ Cancelling your dentist appt.

Welcome back Alison!!! :-D

In white as well, very nice!!! Must say the black can get boring!!!
3 have always been like that when i went with them soooo many years ago, in the end, just stopped direct debit and said....right....your move!!! They did nothing and kept the phone as well lol Absolutely crap customer service.

Been with Orange since my school days and cant fault them, they always taken care of me! :-D

Im sure you're gonna wanna play with the S2, how about a custom ROM? :-P lolz

[Doomed]

I need photo proof to see that you got an SGS EyeEye and not just missing the forum

[stonkr]

You know they'll fight when your back is turned?

If you don't have separate rooms for them I suggest you sort that now.

Somehow I can't see them doing nothing now. Shame or that's what I would do. Am thinking of trying to find out their returns address and sending it back via Special Delivery with a covering letter and saying that I am cancelling under the Sale of Goods Act 1976. What could they do? Can't see them sending it back to me again. Lol.

Going to compose a letter to their CEO tomorrow in more detail than the email I sent today, not heard back from that one as yet so will send a second one.

I suppose worst case scenario I just don't pay and let them take me to court, they have it on record that I want to cancel within the specified period so I can't see any court ruling in their favour provided I don't use their service again now, which I'm not, phone is switched off and will remain switched off now.

Shame all the hassle with three is dampening my excitement for the s2 arriving.

Lol, I will lock away the Three phone. I assume you are referring to the phones fighting?

I will take a pic as soon as I get it. Well, maybe not before I have set it all up and had a play, will post a pic especially for you.

You do realise that if I end up rooting and customising, I will be ranting and tearing my hair out like with the s1?

Can this forum handle me again, that's the question? Lol

Alison

How many hours to go til my eye eye arrives? Isn't it tomorrow yet? Damn.

No.

I am suggesting your crApple will file a patent infringement claim in a local Bulgarian court, claiming it invented the colour white, devices with a front & back and possibly even electricity stored in an internal storage 'cell', etc etc.

If you return to find your eye eye withdrawn and bruised, whilst your eyepad is looking at the ceiling and whistling, suspect foul play...

Lol Stonkr. The eye eye is safely packed away ready to go back. I got it out again last night to play but wasn't overly impressed. Not much difference to the s1 apart from the dual core and the camera. So, it's definitely going back.

Got my s1 today, still on Three and it's so much better than the wildfire s, speeds are much better too for data connection, give or take when the network is busy and it does slow down but the upload speed has stayed at 1.5mbps which is pretty damned good.

Not rooting yet, making sure I am happy with the network as well as the phone first. Dunno that I will bother with a custom rom as there is nothing wrong with the stock one apart from bloatware really. Only want to root to install adfree android. Lol.
