Bell Mobility No longer honoring Replacment Warrenty
Yep, you heard right.
As of yesterday Bell mobility will be sending ALL blackberry smartphones away to get repaired instead of traditionally issuing new or almost always refurbished units. Some stores will also start carrying loaner smart phones (with very large deposits + loaner fees) that customers can use while theirs is gone.
Kinda ridiculous hey? Their goal is to push the $7 and $4 insurance plans to users and try and eliminate the expense of non-defective phones being sent in for stupid reasons.
*there is a loop hole though, if you live something like 45km away from a bell store or you have a disability you can be sent a replacement.
So start faking those medical conditions everyone and avoid that 4 week turn around garbage!
How to get trackball repaired?
I have one of the first Bell Tours and I am having the trackball issue (manufacture date July 10, 2009, made in Mexico). So what are my options to get this fixed? Pay Bell $10 (to fix a known issue) or send in the phone to RIM? Can someone please explain?
Anxiously awaiting the bluetooth phone software fix from RIM as well!!!
Thanks.
