[Resolved]  HTC — Atrocious after sales service

After sales service from HTC is atrocious. They seem to be getting so many complaints that they frown at every customer and they won't even bother to pick any telephone calls. You will need to visit their center to know about the service status and it will take at least a week for even a small issue.
My HTC Touch phone had a problem with charging the battery. I was asked to replace the entire motherboard thats costs 80% of the entire instrument. On top of that, only 6 months warranty whereas new phones come with 1 year warranty.
If anybody succeeds calling HTC's toll free customer service number, please let me know. It does not even seem to be a valid number. It looks like they are not at all serious about after sales service and with so many people in their service center, HTC phones are definitely avoidable.
