ROBIN50N · 21-09-2008, 8:25 PM

has anyone tried this? On contract it says you can't even within 14 days. I got it instore. I hate this Fone internet is awful on it which is the thing I wana use most.

chrism_scotland · 22-09-2008, 7:50 AM

Don't think you can from CPW to be honest mate, as your right the 14 day return is not part of the CPW contract.

ROBIN50N · 22-09-2008, 1:43 PM

oh well my old nokia will be getting some use for the next year.

Saldawop · 22-09-2008, 1:50 PM

Im surprised you find the internet so bad. What do you dislike about it?

ROBIN50N · 22-09-2008, 1:52 PM

well my 3g signals at full strengh yet it can still take ages to load a simple page and more often than not it just crashes and doesnt even load wish id had a proper play with one before i got it.

yeah av got that. you know i actuly dont think the 3g signal reading is true at all. it can go from full 3g to full edge as soon as you open safari.

You allowed to cancel any contract within 7-14 days under UK law..... im sure of it.

My internet is not bad at all.... I would recomend you take your phone back and say its not working properly.

guycoombs · 23-09-2008, 9:57 AM

Could you not go down the not fit for purpose? ie you bought the phone for the fast 3g internet access, and you cannot get that service? I have to say my internet is exellent!

Same here! I love using the phone to go online. I've tried doing it on a Nokia N95 and that experience is awful!

its very slow even at full signal, safari crashs and doesnt do anything sometimes. my sony p1i with opera mini was quicker then this is and that was over gprs. ill just have to live it.

gurka · 23-09-2008, 3:14 PM

Take it back for a replacement............it's broken.

richcandy · 23-09-2008, 4:02 PM

Hi

I had an issue with my first iPhone 3G that I bought from O2. I went to Apple in Regent Street, London and they looked at the problem and exchanged it for a new phone there and then no questions. If there is a fault with your phone I would go and see Apple if you can rather than CPW.

(Of course if you want to cancel your contract you will need to go to CPW)

ROBIN50N · 23-09-2008, 5:19 PM

ive rang cpw regarding cancleing, am waiting for a call back from o2 now.......

ROBIN50N · 24-09-2008, 2:30 PM

well took it back to the manchester store even though i got it from bury, they kindly offered me a new one or to cancle. i cancled it and bought a new touch. so if anyones wondering you can cancle easy within 14 days if its a new contract and not an upgrade.

J7MAN · 24-09-2008, 5:29 PM

Surely it was worth swapping it and checking it wasn't that particular phone?

Do you know that the I-Phone 3G has Wifi????

Basicly, you've mugged yourself by getting just an I-Pod with Internet acess INSTEAD of keeping the I-Phone 3G.

Poor you!

but at work i dont have wifi. my p1i with opera mini is alot faster tahn my iphone was. i know what i was doing. i had 2 contracts running so after useing it and haveing problems with it didnt think it worth the extra.

jerryq7777 · 25-09-2008, 9:17 PM

Ive found Opera on my N95 8GB is faster than the 3G iphone too.

it is very fast isnt it, even on gprs its quicker. i really liked the iphone but for what i wanted it for and where i used it i dont think it was worth the extra contract as the performance wasnt what i expected.
