Re: Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
Want my Blackberry 7510? By the way, I have noticed that with Sprint,
dropped calls has more to do with the phone than the service. When I had my
touchpoint I dropped a few here and there but got more frequent when the
phone started getting about a year old. When I upgraded to a Samsung N400 I
didn't drop any for eight months at which point I returned the phone for a
replacement since it was still under warranty. When I got my Sanyo 8100 I
didn't drop not a one but I didn't like the phone so I switched to a Sanyo
RL2000 and to date that has to be the best phone I have ever had. No dropped
calls, crystal clear sound and it's rugged. For the most part dropped calls
for a particular phone are known issues at Sprint. Complain and you will get
a new one as long as it's still under warranty. Not so with Nextel.

Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
OTOH, Nextel has fixed my broken phones long out of their 1yr Moto.
warr. for $35 more than once when the dammage was clearly my fault.
It was a lot better than buyng a new phone and I was up and running in
< 20 min. each time.

Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
I have to agree. I would much rather see top posting. Nine times out
of ten I already know the context of the thread so I don't need to see
the previous post quoted before I see the current post.
Also, I am a big fan of the [snip] as not to leave a zillion lines to

Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
There are two things getting crossed here.
You only have to pay Nextel $35 or $2.50/month if you want them to fix
your phone. If you want RIM to fix it then you can send it in to them
and they will fix it for free and send it back.
RIM makes the Blackberry (using iDEN parts from Motorola) and is on
the hook for service if it breaks but Nextel offers the walk in
service for people who are not under warranty or who don't want to
wait for the manf. to fix their unit.
The key, if you want Nextel to fix your phone, is to go to a Nextel
owned service center. It is amazing what they can fix in under a half
an hour. They list them on their web site.

Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
I know it was either $35 or $2.50 per month but why should I have to pay
either of those when the phone is still under warranty and it is a warrantry
repair? Also why should I have to wait a week or two to get a new phone from
Rim? The service centers I went to wouldn't even 'look' at the phone since
it was a blackberry. They didn't ask what was wrong with it or even go over
weather I had paid the $2.50 per month or their own charges. They wouldn't
even look at it since it was a Blackberry. For the $400 I spent on the phone
and the $100 per month I'm spending on the service AND that this is a
corporate account I think they should be a little more receptive to my
needs. When I was with Sprint I had just a personal account and they
basically kissed my ass. I'm not asking for Nextel to do that but I want a
company to stand behind the products that they sell and Nextel isn't.
They're just blowing me off and giving me the run around.

Who wrote the warranty- Nextel or RIM?

What are the terms of the warranty? Does it specifically state that RIM is
the only authorized repair outlet for warranty issues?

See last statement- they may not be authorized to repair Blackberrys under
warranty, and would then be providing a service with no chance of
compensation.

The authorized service center is just that- an authorized agent. They don't
see a penny of the money you spent on the phone or your service.

Read the warranty. Just a clue (direct from the Nextel website)- "Coverage
is subject to the terms of the Research in Motion limited warranty."

Re: Very unhappy with Nextel
I see the point you're trying to make... but if this were the case why would
they be 'willing' to give me 'free' repair anywhere if I pay $2.50 per month
or a $35 per instance charge? Authorized repair my ass. It's all about the
money and nothing to do with the customer.

You don't. You can send the unit to RIM and they will fix it for
free.

I don't know. I would call RIM and ask them. Also, if you have a
large corp. account ask your account rep. if she/he can get you a
loaner unit while your's is out to repair.

You need to go to a Nextel OWNED service center and be sure to call
first and ask if they do walk in service (you would need level 2
service per the Nextel web site I would guess) on RIM units. Many
retail stores are listed as doing service but that are NOT THE SAME as
a dedicated service center. If you are in Chicagoland I know of one
who can have you up and running in no time flat.
