I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S - GT I9000 phone on the 2nd of October 2010. It is indeed a good phone basis the fact that
a) Android OS
b) 16 GB Internal Memory that would allow for upgrades
c) Apps are plentiful.
However when I started using the phone that I realised with minimum use as described below -
a) Some 15-20 calls per day each not lasting on an average 5 mins
b) Occasional Apps use of not more than 15 mins per day
c) Internet usage of not more than 10 mins per day
the battery dies out at the end of each day. In fact while I bought the phone on 2nd October 2010, the batter manufacturing date indicates 26th Aug 2010.
To top this, today the Phone Charger quit on me while I am in Kolkata for a marketing event leaving me high and dry since Kolkata Services are shut down the next 3 days for Durga Puja. Interestingly when I called the Samsung Helpline I was told -
a) I must carry the warranty papers to the service center to get the charger or battery checked. Otherwise without the same it would cost me.
b) Without the papers, I the customer should call up the service center and figure out whether they can repair it in warranty without the warranty documents.
c) Finally they called and realised that the service center is shut for 3 days. In effect I am in Kolkata stuck without a handset because my battery will not charge and when it does it does not last at all.
I guess this is the last Samsung product I will ever use.
Thank you Mr Kim wherever you are. If you do think you want to call me please do so on 9892580801.
