About 9 months ago, when I signed up for my new contract with Alltel, I got the e815. It originally seemed like a pretty sweet phone. It seemed like the best available, since I wasn't sure I would actually use a smartphone (BTW, if any of you have a treo, blackberry, or Q you're looking to get rid of, I'll take it). Anyway, after about 3 months, the charging started working intermittently, and then right before we left for vacation (3 weeks ago), the charger just stopped working. So, I went 8 days w/o a phone on vacation, then when I got back, we swapped batteries and chargers, and that got the phone working somewhat while I waited for a replacement phone. Well, I got my new phone set up yesterday, and guess what. Again this one won't charge. So, I sent it back, and I'm waiting to see what will happen. So, I've gone 3 weeks w/o a reliable phone, and I still have to pay Alltel, even though I haven't been able to count on being able to use my phone. Now, I know it's not necessarily their fault, but it seems to me that from a customer satisfaction standpoint, it would be better to eat that amount. I mean they did sell me the phone, and I do pay for the phone insurance, and they couldn't fix the problem. As soon as another viable option comes to this area, I will definitely be looking into leaving Alltel, unless something changes w/their customer service.
Anyway, I just needed to vent a little of my frustration. By the way, I've probably wasted at least 3 hours of my time sitting at Alltel trying to get this stuff fixed.

The same exact thing happened to Tyler's mom. She got the smart phone about three weeks ago, and the battery only stays charged for 4 hours at the most.
And now, the same thing, her charger doesn't work.
Also.
Contracts suck! haha
