  • Optus + Samsung Hmmm

    So I'm not officialy pissed but I am kind of annoyed.

    My Samsung Galaxy S started going a little wonky a while ago and this weekend went crazy enough for me to take it back to the shop. The issue was the touchscreen would glitch or have phantom touches along a straight vertical line on the right hand side, and sometimes stop responding altogether.

    So I went to the optus store in the city and arrived about about 12:10pm on Sunday, and they were still closed. How annoying is when you go up to a closed store and you just assume the people inside are being all smug and dicky. Anyway the lady gestured 5 minutes and so I sat outside across the 'plaza' and then went back like 15 minutes later and they opened up for me at that point. So that was freaking annoying.

    I was secretly hoping they'd just hand me a new phone there and then (it's about a month and a half old) but I guess that was pretty unlikely. I that they do do that within the first 2 weeks or so. So anyway it's sent away for repair and will probably be 2 weeks. So I'm back on my Motorolla Razr and iPod touch for now. but still paying $50 / mnth even though I'll not be able to use data etc for 2 weeks :/
