No, scratch that. I hate my G1 with all my heart and soul. Less than one year after signing with them, I should be receiving my 3rd replacement phone due to "technical errors from the manufacturer"! Isn't that just fucking lovely?!?!?!?!
So,I wake up this morning and grab my phone to see what time it is and, strangely, my phone is off. Screen black. Nothing lit. I assumed that it died so I plug it up and power it on. The familiar T-Mobile G1 screen comes on... it vibrates... its loading and then I see a something that told me that I was going to have to cuss some random Indian or blond chick out later today... I saw a ga'damn triangle with an exclamation point next to a cartoonish picture of a G1.
Panic sets in...
Reset. Triangle. Clear cache. Triangle! Hard reset. Triangle! Nothing worked....
I get to work and call T-Mobile and tell some blond chick what happened and of course she plays the "i-cant-believe-that-happened-to-you-i-never-heard-of-this-before" shit. Annoyed, I tell her that I really don't care what she believes but I know that this has happened before because the topic is all over the net thanks to Google. I tell her that I just want a new phone or else I'm going to start cussing and her day will be just as shitty as mine. Mean? I know but that's why she gets paid double minimum wage.
Rep: Maam, please remain calm while I research this and see what I can do for you.
Me: Please do not tell me to remain calm while my whole life is being put on pause because Tmobile sent me this bullshit ass phone.
Hold music comes on and I'm getting more and more pissed...
Rep: Maam, lets try a hard reset. Pr-
Me: So, you didnt hear me when I said that I tried that and all I got was "fuck you triangle", right? I thought I made it very clear that I went through this just a month ago.
Rep: I understand but there may be a chance of user error while perf-
Me: Now, you're telling me that I am incapable of pressing two buttons simultaneously because i didn't receive 2 weeks of tech training from the University of T-mobile? Let's pretend that I did it and it still didn't work and proceed with getting me another phone because I am getting really pissed and you don't want me to start showing my ass.
Rep: No maam, I don't. One moment while I begin the process.
She then goes on and takes information and tells me I need 20.00 to pay for expedited shipping and I agree. Even after agreeing to the 20.00 for shipping, I am told that it will take 3 business days. o_O
I mustve turned 9 different shades of yellow. This is not the way to start a weekend. My whole life is ran by that phone. I schedule when I eat, sleep, shit, and run by that phone. My clients cant get a hold of me without that phone. I cant ignore calls from old peen without that phone!
Guess that's what I get for giving out the wrong number for April Fools Day ;)
