    A while back, after being tired of dealing with Sprint PCS warranty
    replacement issues and getting substandard recondition phones, at the
    request of folks here on this NG a little over a year ago I bought a
    Sanyo 4900 for myself at Circuit City and bought a 2 year extened
    warranty replacement plan. The salesman said basically.. "what ya do
    when new phiones come out or just before your plan expires, come in
    and get a new phone even if it is'nt broken." I said that seemed wrong
    but he assured me it's common practice and that's what all the CC
    employees do, I bought it basically though because I was used to the
    Sprint replacement phones lasting only a few months, and up to
    recently I have'nt needed a replacemnt, but now I do and upon browing
    CC's website, I notice they do not carry Spint PCS anymore [or at leat
    not that I can find]

    So, I suppose I will have to spend the money to buy a new phone. But I
    am wondering whats the best way and best place to buy a phone
    nowadays? I guess I now what a camera phone and I was thinking of a
    Samsung A-680 , but I am open to others.

    Any suggestions?

    CC may just give you a refund or a credit on the cost of your phone. 12 or
    years ago, I had bought a 46" projection TV from them. I kept buying the
    extended service contract on it, which paid off nicely as boards would go
    out every couple of years. Finally, at the end of 8 or 9 years, the bulbs
    went out, which would have necessitated a cost to CC for $1500+ to replace
    them. They said it was time to retire that TV and gave me a $2000 credit to
    replace the old TV with a new one.
