[Resolved]  Nokia E51 — Bad Service

I bought a Nokia E51 Mobile Phone from Car Phone Warehouse in Blackrock, Co. Dublin, Ireland in May 2009. Two weeks after buying the phone it started giving problems. I brought it back to the shop.The phone kept hopping to different applications and occasionally I would get no response when I would press a key. The man there took out the battery. He said this will reset it and that it will be OK. A few days later I had another problem. I was getting no response when pressing keys 3 and 6. I brought the phone back. The gentleman in the shop said the buttons had popped out and he pressed it back in.
The original problem kept reoccurring. I would take out the battery and reset it myself and it would be ok again for another while.
I was hiking in Donegal in September and I found myself in a situation where I needed to make an urgent telephone call. The phone would not work as I was getting no response from any of the keys. Taking out the battery and resetting it did not solve the problem. I again brought the phone back to Carphone Warehouse, Blackrock. The gentleman there tried to convince me that it was a network problem and I had difficulty convincing him that it was a problem with the phone. He said he would send it for repairs and that it would take 2 to 3 weeks.. He could not give me a replacement phone whilst in for repairs. I brought it to the repair centre myself and had it back within a few hours.They told me it was a software problem. However the same problem recurred again after a few weeks. I again brought it back to carphone warehouse where again the gentleman there tried to convince me that it was a network problem. At this stage I wasn't able to even send text messages.
I asked that the phone be replaced. He said he could not replace the phone as it had to be in for repairs 3 times before he could do so. He also had not recorded my previous faults which I had brought to the shop on his computer system. I got onto carphone warehouse helpdesk and got no satisfaction there. I brought the phone into Carphone Warehouse, Grafton St. where I met a very helpful Manager. He said all he could do, as it was company policy, was send it back again for repairs. This will now be the third time that the phone has been in for repairs. He said it may take 3 weeks but he was able to give me a replacement phone.
The service I have been getting from Carphone Warehouse has been deplorable. I have wasted several hours going and it this stage I feel I can't trust my phone when I get it back.

E51 — NOT RECEIVE MY PHONE

Purchased nokia E 51 invoice no 1180 dated 5th June 08 from the local dealer namely Hotline Service Center 4 Tulsi Complex Tower Chowk Ujjain (Madhya Paradesh) Country India dealer phone no[protected]. The mobile underwent dead within 10 day of its purchase. The dealer was contacted. He referred to Nokia Care who took the mobile and deported it to Bhopal. It was apprised by theme that the some problem in software has crept in and would be set right. I am of the opinion that the quality product of yr Company in no case should suffer any deficiency in such a short period of 10 days o[censored]se with due care. Since at present i am phone less i m loosing my business, as there were around 1000 contact numbers that i have lost at the moment. There were no any kind of complained so far i have been using yr company product since last 10 years except this one. I therefore feel that the product instead of repairs should have been replaced so that my faith stands bound. I hope that a kind ear to my submission will be turned in order to maintain customer loyalty

An early reply in the matter is solicited

Nokia E51 — Phone not working/Bad service provided

Hi

This is regarding the nokia phone i purchased with warranty.
The phone showed some problems so i went to the nokia priortiy centre.
they took my phone and kept it for 15 days without giving me another piece to use.
i somehow managed. they called me after 15 days and told phone has been repaired.
again after 2 days the cell broke down. same problem faced where no keypads were working.
i again submitted my phone saying what did they repair. they again took my phone and have still not called me.its been 12 days.
i requested them to issue me new phone they have refused. this is really bad service they think we have all the time in the world to 100 times go to the priority centre and submit our phones.

can anyone look inot the matter.after taking warranty this is what we get from nokia.
details:

product code 0558469

model E51

warranty ref no APAINY[protected]

battery no BP.5M.[protected]

job sheet no[protected]/090620/17

i requested them to issue me new phone they have refused. the manager out there some MR sanjay at the opera house nokia care even used abusive language. This is really bad service they think we do not have all the time in the world to 100 times go to the priority centre and submit our phones.

Menu, call pick and digit 1, stopped working, I suppose. Then sometimes the handset starts working erratically. If I am right, then its a common problem with Nokia E series phones. This is what happened with my E 51, and this is what happened with my friend's E 71.
