I bought an E71, from the said store, last June 4, 2010. In less than 24 hours of using the phone I noticed that some applications would fail to open. I visited the store on the next day to consult for my phone, and they diagnosed that the provided memory card was defective.
When I got home and charged my phone, I noticed that the phone would overheat, and same situation would occur even on normal operations of texting or browsing the web. I returned to the store that Monday (June 7, 2010) and asked for a phone replacement, but they did not honor my claim. Their reason was that it has already passed their 3 days replacement period. I was surprised with their explanation since they had included the day when I bought the phone in the counting of three days, and considering that I had bought the phone at around 8pm which means that the 3 day would be at 8pm on that day (I had a deficit in hours). Instead they asked me to go to nokia care.
After Nokia has updated the firmware of my device, I'm now facing another problem, the phone would often hang up even when im just texting. Worst, it would suddenly restart itself even on normal operations. I tried to reflash the firmware myself using the software provided on their website but same problem occurs. A few days ago a friend informed me that Cellpod has a lot of complaints even before due to the quality of their phones. I checked my phone and their was not even an NTC sticker attached (Is'nt it that the sticker compulsory).
