Well, I haven't updated this one in ages. So here's the latest.
Seeing the monsoons round the corner, Dad finally decided to end the punishment and humiliation of having a broken screen. So he decided to fund a new chasse for my poor defeated 6610i, to 'prevent the rainwater from getting in'. Whatever.
But, yes... look at Nokia's great customer service... "That'll be 500 bucks sir" went the lady. Dad: "I'd like to have a bill..." "Oh we're sorry we can't issue a bill for this. It's not company maal na" and then suddenly realising she's said too much, she acts like she's very busy with arranging the stuff on her desk. In a small voice: "You see, we've stopped manufacturing this model and its parts, but this is a good piece...". That was enough. We walked out of the proud Nokia Care outlet at Matunga station. Bought a nice robust body without keypad at Thane station for just 60 bucks. So that's the story of how Nokia tries to cheat customers. Sheesh. Waiting for when I'll get to switch to Sony Ericsson when funds are coming in for me!! Still not sure whether I'd want to get rid of ye olde faithful 6610i... sigh...
And now my cellphone looks as good as new. I'm proud of it and love it. Have taken to violently gaming on it yet again! Hehe. Am addicted baby!
