What did you do that they are saying it your fault? Search the forum and Google and you should find a few sites that sell replacement parts. Or, you can buy a used device and scavange parts from it.

well i finally talked to simply wirless, thats the company online i got the phone from....they are making me send the phone in first. what a pain...i told them that when i recieved it, the box was opened and contents scattered and that the lcd screen had a small black dot which has been growing every day. however it looks as if someone dropped it on the corner of a curb as they were getting out of a car. i guess well have to wait and see what is going to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you have called them and reported the contents, the packaging, and requested a new one? I sure as hell would've not accepted an expensive electronic device, that has been obviously tampered with. Maybe that's just me, but this seems like it's common sense. You order a new product, it should be new, not all beat up.

You said it Brother... I was once downtown pissy drunk in the middle of the day. I walked in a phone booth obviously thinking it was a stall and started taking a wiz. Lady cop was right there talking to a group of women and couldnt believe her eyes. She yanked me from the booth and cuffed me with it still hanging out (I must have had a full 6 pack in me cuz they said I just kept wizzing).

When I woke in the drunk tank there was a guy that would look at me then bust out laughing. He said I was more than a handfull for the officers. He said they drug me in with it still hanging out, I was loud and kept insisting on going back to flush the urinal. That was a bad day BUT!!!

Get's worse, a month later I'm in court sitting next to the most beautiful spanish girl I've seen in all my life. I couldn't believe that seat was empty. Smelling good, nails, hair perfect. Conversation flowing, I'm felling good having this girl laughing so much the judge threaten to site us for contempt and put us out the courtroom. That's when my name was callled...

50 people in this courtroom and the prosecutor reads my case in a mic. Man if I was a turtle... I take it like a man, plead guilty and start leaving to pay my fine. I gave her a wink and a wave on my way out when the prosecutor calls for Stephano Lopez to come up. I think nothing of it. I turned back as I'm walking out the doors and learned that Stephano Lopez was the beautiful girl and HE was picked up for prostitution.

Now that Sir is a bad day!!!

because i think getting a defective BB is weak in comparison to some stuff people do everyday..... there is a pretty big disconnect between yuppie americas day to day life and reality of things that might be considered "worse thing ever just happened "


i like to keep people realistic about their woes
