My trusty Nokia phone 5601 has the face snapped off; probably too cold in Shanghai last week. I took it to the Nokia Service Center here in HK. What a service! Staff was friendly and trying to help you!
As it turned out, my phone has passed the Nokia Mandatory one-year free warranty period. Opppsss..... So the total to have the face replaced came to HK$170.00. HK$120.00 for the "service call" and HK$50.00 for the part. Better than the alternative of buying a new phone for HK$3,900.00 (that's a later story).
The staff was trying to find a way for me to service for free. He said, if I could locate my bill and registered online, come back later so I could get the problem fix for free. O well... I tossed out my bill about a month ago during a mandatory clean-up.
Yes, about that HK$3,900.00 Nokia (potential) replacement. Went to the official Nokia store before I went to the service center. I believe it was a Nokia 5800. It is a fully touch screen phone just like the iPhone, except the keys on the screen are bigger. Shhh.... Don't tell iron-wife about it. Also, the handwriting is NOT only for Chinese (both forms) but also for alphanumeric! It has everything the iPhone 3G has but has both A-GPS and GPS. You can choose. But this Nokia phone is too new; just came out earlier this week. It's Symbian OS is the latest so no software available yet. And cannot sync w/ iCal and iContact. So.. I can wait.
Happy to have my phone fixed!
Ha ha, I just saw across the road to the park. The jumbo TV is connected to a PC; and the PC crashed out of the "display" so now I am looking at someone's screen saver!!!! It's been like that for over 15 minutes. No one notice from the park staff? Ummm....you have to be blinded not to see it specially I am 15 floor up and looking at it!
