Sorry it's long.
OK I need some advice and yes I'm venting a little too. I got my first smart phone in March of this year. It took me YEARS it seems like to talk my husband into it. We don't have a lot of money ok any money and while I need a phone for work I don't "need" a smart phone. Well I talked him into Boost Mobile since we can't afford a contract phone plan and all was WONDERFUL until for about 4 or 5 month. That's when I fell into a pool with the phone in my pocket. I did all the right things. Took the battery out, put it in rice, left it for days (remember work phone) and still nothing. So now I have a $200 paper weight (remember no $$$) and was very mad at myself. So my wonderful husband orders me another phone from HSN. We couldn't get the same one from QVC or HSN they don't carry it anymore. Remember not a lot of $$$ and you can make payments. Anyway I've had my new phone a Samsung Galaxy S2 for 2 whole weeks and it's not working right. Well after I've done some research I've learned that my problem is a VERY common problem with this phone. So I call HSN for an exchange and go figure they don't sell that phone anymore nothing they can do. SO I call Samsung and they tell me it's not in warranty (which I'm fighting because yes it is!). But once I prove it IS in warranty I'll have to send it in to them and wait for them to repair it and send it back (remember work phone). BUT after all my research about the problem I coming to believe that it's not even going to help. SO many people say that they have sent it in for repair and it still doesn't work right.
I just don't know what to do. Try to get it fixed??? Return it for a different phone??? Or just give up and go back to a regular phone not a smart phone???
Thanks for reading and for any advice you guys rock!!!
