I had purchased NOKIA N500 handset on[protected]. It developed problem in first week of september, 2013. Since then it has been a hell of problem at all levels. When I approached the shop from where I purchased the handset, they told me to approach NOKIA care center. When i said i will go to Panvel NOKIA center which is near to my place, shop owner told me to go to Vashi center. Reason given by shop owner is that we can not gurantee good service at Panvel center but Vashi center will give good service. Still i approached Panvel center with handset and Cash Memo. They rejected the complaint to be treated as"during guarantee period" giving flimsy reason like, 1)There is no TIN number in cash memo thouch it is printed on cash memo and 2) There is some black spot which makes guarantee clause redundant. Then I approached Vashi center. They told me that though your purchase guarantee is still on, but online guarantee (this is NOKIA term-used for the period counted from the date of despatch from NOKIA unit)) is over. So they refused to accept handset for repairs and took the xerox copy of cash memo to forward it to their nokia office and to regularise guarantee clause. Vashi center told us that they will communicate within two days when they receive guarantee extension to make it applicable from the date of purchase. They didnt respond even after four days. When we asked about this after four days, they replied that the NOKIA has rejected it so handset will not be repaired as per guarantee clause.Meantime i had made online complaints for which i received very very poor response from NOKIA and finally NOKIA accepted to repair it as a handset in guarantee period. However there was no communication send to care center and hence i could not give my handset for repairs. Finally I gave my handset to the shop on[protected]. Till today i have not received any communication from Nokia and shop owner told me that you will get communication in due course but he has not given any date for it.
I am enclosing herewith the content of my last mail for your reference(If you need i can put whole content of the e-mail correspondence). There is so much hardship, non availability of handset for which i had paid to NOKIA and still i dont know what is going to happen with my handset.
Also NOKIA is least bothered to revise certain things which are creating hardship to their customers indicating that NOKIA is deceiving their customers. Hence to get compensation to me as well as to avoid other people getting duped by such a reputed company, I request you take up the matter for 1) Forcing NOKIA to pay hefty compensation, 2) To publicise in all National newspapers the true guarantee clause they follow 3) to publish in national news papers why they have misleading information about their customer care center even though I have pointed out in my mail. 3) Make NOKIA commit to certain fixed period during which complaints are resolved. This is necessary so that no new customers are troubled again in future.
I hope this information is sufficient for further action. If you need any other infrmation, I am glad to submit it.
You have not yet fully replied my mail. I treat this as rejection from your end in solving the problem and I presume that you dont have any solution. Now I am free to take up the issue further.

I thought my problem with nokia is getting over but it is not. It seems i have committed a biggest mistake of my life in purchasing nokia handset.
1)I had mentioned in my mail on 21st that your web site shows wrong number of panvel center. I am sorry to state that it is still not corrected
2) today morning i dialled the number[protected]given by you thrice and explained them that panvel center number on your website is wrong and please give me correct number. I dont find words when i kept waiting for more than 3 min on each occasion but still nobody could give me the number. I had to plead to them that please somehow ask panvel center to contact me on my phone number. But they only explained their inability.
3) It is now very clear that nokia, it seems, likes to enjoy fun in traumatising their customers.
4) The more I cooperate with Nokia they are giving me more and more trouble.
5) It seems you have not yet initiated any action against panvel center based on my earlier complaints. Or Nokia promote such care centers which puts up misleading information on Nokia website and agonise customers. Who is responsible for wrong phone numbers on Nokia web site?
6) How are you going to compensate me for the troubles I faced? My suggestion a) Return my money b) Give immediate free replacement
I have few more quaries
1) I find the problem reappearing within few days of repair, then how warranty clause will be applicable.
2) Are going to change your system so that your care centers will give in writing the reasons for rejection of warranty clause for any future complaints from any other customers
3)The action taken against erring care centers based on customers complaint and whether you will communicate to aggrieved customers.
4) Are you going to stick to clause of warranty from the date of purchase or not?. For fake bills you can take neccessary action against those who issue it. I have a suggestion (since you dont have intellectuals working with you according to your system which can not handle customers complaints) so that you can tie up with major mobile service providers so that if a new phone is activated, its IMEI number is communicated to your system . This date can be taken for warranty clause
I am sorry to state that you are just forcing me take up the issue on bigger platform.
