Doing the Right Thing: Encouraging Others to Buy a Good Phone Instead of an iPhone

Buddy: Hey, did you ever get your iLemon working right?

Me: It’s still fucked up

… from the last firmware upgrade which somehow fucked up my AT&T account.

Buddy: Wow, really makes me not want to get one. I was thinking about it for a split second,

Me: Dude, don’t get one

They’re overpriced

And standard Apple bullshit

Buddy: but I really really want a phone/ipod that holds ALL of my music. I do not want to do that oh I’ll swap this music for that today

Me: Great design / lame-ass quality control & service.

Buddy: Yeah, typical with apple

ALL HAIL Apple

Me: I was on the phone with the tech. support guy for almost 55 minutes before I got “it’s an AT&T billing problem.”

The support guy was cool (spoke English, even!) and he connected me to the right guy at AT&T

But OMG

Buddy: wow

Me: He didn’t know shit about what was up.

Buddy:That is cool he did that

Me: Yeah, he treated me like a person.

I told him “I don’t think it’s fair for me to have to pay for 55 minutes of tech. support.”

The AT&T guy reversed the charges for the call (over $20)

My phone is still fucked up.

I get billed any time I do anything on Edge.

Since it’s set to check my mail every 10 minutes I get billed 15 cents every 10 minutes.

I used it last night to reply to an e-mail: $1.50

Buddy: Good God

Me: AT&T dude says they’ll reverse the charges (and they better damn well reverse them… I pay for an unlimited data access plan), but I have to call in and ask them to do it.

After this experience and my previous iBrick experience, I would suggest that you find a phone made by a company that doesn’t suck ass.

Buddy: Heheh, I have heard horrible exp. with AT&T

Me: Yeah, AT&T sucks ass too.

No wonder they partnered with CrApple.

updated….

Buddy: hey that would make a great Snapple flavor…

Crapple from Snapple

Me: LOL

Buddy: then have kids just like the ovaltine comm. saying “MORE CRAPPLE PLEASE”

and instead of milk mustaches they could have chocolate pudding ones.

Me: Now with 30% more crap!
