Comments on: Nokia holding five hour sale tomorrow, online and in Flagship Stores http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/06/24/nokia-five-hour-sale-tomorrow/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:59:49 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Raki http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/06/24/nokia-five-hour-sale-tomorrow/comment-page-2/#comment-547839 Raki Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:08:47 +0000 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/?p=28619#comment-547839 I ordered two e63 from their June 20 sale for $167 each. Paid for overnight delivery. Nokia doesn't even have them in stock (it's now July 9). On June 24 Nokia offered the e63 for $195. They were not even in stock! I you ordered the phones thinking you're getting the $50 rebate - forget that, it expired on June 30. No phone in hand, no rebate. So, I'll get my overnight delivery overnight, but, it'll just take 4 weeks? to fill my order. Maybe Nokia should have a "fill your order" charge. After waiting for 2 hours on a customer care (what a joke) service provider to answer the phone, they said I could cancel my order if I wasn't happy with their answers about my order. Nokia's customer service department and website is a big joke! I ordered two e63 from their June 20 sale for $167 each. Paid for overnight delivery.

Thank you Nokia USA and your terrible customer care service over the phone, I lost $200. I do agree 110% with the boys genius review on the N97. Only if I had read it before placing the order. My experience with Nokia USA, was a rip off!!!

Dealing with that phone is such a big headache, and Nokia's customer service cant do anything when you contact them to say the phone is malfunctioning, they just tell you to send it in for repair or wait til there is a newer ver of the firmware. if you want to return the phone its nearly impossible to get through to the sales dept, and when you contact cust serv they trans you to the sales dept, and you can nver get a hold of anyone. i will never buy a nokia phone again in my lifetime, there are way better phones out there especially if your looking for something with a touchscreen and a keyboard!! umm yeah, the N97 is a big PoS! and is giving Nokia so many problems right now! all sorts of issues and no way to fix them at all.

I purchased online from Nokia USA, the N97. They billed twice my credit card and sent me two phones. At the end I did noit like the N97 and I am still trying to return it and the "extra phone" they sent but their Customer line to obtain a Return Authorization is always busy or you get on hold for hours. After two hours on hold finally someone answer my call and told me I was out of the first 7 days to ask for my money back. I told them, this is the 9th day and I have been trying to get with you guys since 3 days ago. They did not care, even when I told them they had charged me twice. Still trying to work out the problem. It is best to go to a flagship store. Extremely unfair situation. Hello,

The N95 is several years old, but what it can do is amazing. The UI is showing it's age but but as far as what it is capable of, it stands strong with phones that are brand new to the market. I have both N95-3 NAM and N95 8GB. I would suggest getting the N95-3 over the 8GB. N95-3 is expandable to 16GB. The screen isn't as large and the UI isn't as pretty as the 8BG, but having hot swapable memory can be handy. @ StevenGlansberg – I agree. The N95 is several years old, but what it can do is amazing.

And make sure you get the 8gb model. It also has more Ram, making it the best multitasking device ever. No reboots or crashes. It does all the iPhone does and more. @ StevenGlansberg,↲the N95 is alot better than an iPhone, as many Symbian Freaks use the iPhone as a backup device. And make sure you get the 8gb model.
