Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2006P910i on O2 insurance.
Hi, I called O2 insurance regarding my claim as my P910i is busted. What I was told is that they cannot replace it with the P990 and I'd have to go either for: XDA MINI S Nokia N70 Nokia 9300i. I love the SE symbian interface and don't want any other one. Is there any way that I can get the insurance to give me the P990? If not, what's the best option out of those 3 or should I ask them for something else? Thanks for your help. Kind regards, Raphael > XDA MINI S > Nokia N70 > Nokia 9300i. > I love the SE symbian interface and don't want any other one. Is there > any way that I can get the insurance to give me the P990?

Although I guess in your terms and conditions it states if they can't offer you the same phone they'll offer you something of similar value. There you go. Have you broken the phone or has it simply stopped working? Is it outside its year warranty? For future reference Nokia's come with 2yr warranty, I hope this helps you in your future choice. >>> XDA MINI S >>> Nokia N70 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Nokia's come with 2yr warranty, I hope this helps you in your future > choice. Hi, I'm with the O2 gold insurance. I'm really crossed with the whole situation as I'd gladly accept another P910. My phone is broken. The flip came off when I dropped it (with a couple of other parts ;) ), it keeps giving me all sorts of errors etc. Unfortunately it clearly states in the T&C that they can offer me a phone with similar specs. The thing is, that I don't want any other phone especially Nokia's as their software is full of bugs and handsets not as good as they used to be. I reckon XDA mini s is not a bad option but windows os is not as stable as symbian. Is there any way to get what the P990 from them? I don't care about 3g etc, just about the os. Maybe someone here managed to get it? raph1978@NOSPAMneostrada.pl declared for all the world to hear... > I reckon XDA mini s is not a bad > option but windows os is not as stable as symbian.

In my experience of a variety of devices running Windows CE 2 through to PocketPC 2003 through to Windows Mobile 5, it's getting better but it's still far from ideal. Mind you, WM5 is reasonably stable, except, it requires way too many clicks or taps to do anything.

Yes, it does: but compare a variety of say PalmOS and WM5 devices side by side and the PalmOS unit is easier to use. Its simplicity is both a strength and a weakness. I'm done with my tinkering stage of owning a PDA / 'phone, now I just want it to work every time...

Actually I'm not joking... It's getting better but my friends that have Windows based phones are cursing them . They require a lot of clicks to do anything, and they keep hanging on regular basis. Don't know the exact models but a couple of them use the HPs with GPS systems built in. To sum it up, they didn't recomend the phones. I had my p910 for the past 2 years. It hung on me 3 times before I dropped it, and needless to say that's pretty damn good, although maybe it's simply that I know how to manage it's memory and don't install junk onto it :) Kind regards, Raphael >> raph1978@NOSPAMneostrada.pl declared for all the world to hear... >>> I reckon XDA mini s is not a bad [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > that's pretty damn good, although maybe it's simply that I know how to > manage it's memory and don't install junk onto it :) Not in my experience, but, have you tried putting lots of junk onto it... just to see? :0 SignatureThe DervMan www.dervman.com >>> raph1978@NOSPAMneostrada.pl declared for all the world to hear... >>>> I reckon XDA mini s is not a bad [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Not in my experience, but, have you tried putting lots of junk onto it... > just to see? :0 lol, no, I haven't and actually I wouldn't. I'm not into ringtones, pictures etc. They only installed tomtom to help them while driving abroad. THey keep complaining that the phones are slow and keep hanging and applications keep crashing. Maybe they have the 2003 version and it's full of bugs - afterall it's Microsoft :) >>>> raph1978@NOSPAMneostrada.pl declared for all the world to hear... >>>>> I reckon XDA mini s is not a bad [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > and applications keep crashing.

Only it wouldn't beep as a reminder and only connected with my desktop when it felt like it. I keep on going back to the beautiful simplicity of PalmOS.

The Series 60 Symbian Nokias on the other hand are terrible.

The Series 60 Symbian Nokias on the other hand are terrible. Yeah, I know.. I'm wondering how will I be able to get that one from O2 insurance instead of getting the XDA mini S. Teoretically they all cost the same it's just that they're being a pain in the backside about being helpfull to their customers. :( Does anyone have any idea how can I get what I want? Regards, Raphael > Yeah, >Theoretically they all cost the same it's just that they're being a pain in >the backside about being helpfull to their customers. :( Does anyone have >any idea how can I get what I want? Ask for the monetary equivelant of what they're willing to pay for this 'alternative' choice? No harm in asking, most likely you'll get a "no chance, son." |
