Samsung Omnia HD - i8910

By when?

By when did the guy say they would have one for you?

And was there a lot of paperwork for your upgrade? I also plan on getting mine on upgrade but it's been a while and I can't recall.
 
Sounds good...

Thanks, at least the upgrade process sounds easy enough :rolleyes:

Oh well, let's just hope it arrives soon...
 
i have officially given up.. italk goes offline this week and the chap reckons MTN hasnt given them any feedback as to the release of the i8910. How can no one know anything about this phone.. Where are the MTN reps???
 
All, I just gave up on this phone and MTN in general. You can't get a straight answer from anybody, their call centre is shocking (if you can get through) and their info on release dates to their customers (who need solid dates to make critical decisions on upgrading) is just not available.

There was a recent article on MyBB regarding MTN's expansion into Africa and the fact that they have lost focus on the local SA market, how true. They are too busy chasing the big dollars in Nigeria, amongst others, to care about the market that gave them the platform to expand.

I have cancelled my MTN contract, of which I had for over 6 years, moved to VodacomSP and was lucky enough to get a iPhone 3GS 16GB a couple of days after it's launch locally on a iPhone 120S contract. It doesn't match the i8910's AMOLED screen, camera and video HD capture, but the rest of the hardware is similar and nothing can touch (pun intended) the interface and software.

For those willing to stick with MTN, I hope you eventually get your i8910, still a smashing device!
 
I agree MTN service sucks big time now, but after I had a run in with vodacom in the early 90's regarding a faulty debit order from their accounts department and many heated telephone conversations later, they threatend to "black list" me so I told them to get FC and switched off the phone for the remaining 18months thus depriving them of any profit from the contract:D I had already joined MTN who were quite good in those days, but now suck even more than the other cell providers!! :sick:

JUST WANT MY FREEKING SAMSUNG OMNIA HD i8910!!! NOW!!!:mad:
 
This is pathetic!!!!

I can't believe how pathetic MTN is! More than 1 consultant told me the phone would be available by the end of August and it's still not!!!!!
I have just spoken with the Cape Town Service Centre and there is still no stock.
I am so p****d off - and there is nothing we can do about this...
or is there? Any ideas anyone?
They can't just keep treating the customers like door mats and get away with it. :mad:
 
I think we should...

Hi Spiff,

I think that's a good idea... :D

On another note, I just phoned the Paddox store in Milnerton and they say they only expect the phone around October / November????? :confused:

I remember you said you went to Paddox, that's why I thought they might have a better idea of when it will be available.
Why don't you phone the guy and see what he says? That will be interesting to know...
 
Maybe we can sort this out...

Ok will do

Thanks, that will be appreciated.
Maybe one way or the other we can figure this c**p out.. I'm trying to get hold of the name of the Client Services Manager to lay a formal complaint seen as they aren't responding to my complaints on hellopeter. Will keep you posted if I find anything.
 
Any news?

Hi Spiff, have you been able to contact MTN yet?
An aquintance of mine had ordered 2 Nokia N97's from the Paddox store a week ago, and were told they could fetch them on the 1st (last night) but when they went there there was nothing kept aside for them and no other stock of the N97's... the reason: the guy that they spoke to for the order had written it in his diary but never placed the order - how pathetic! Now they don't know when Nokia will have more stock for them, can you believe it?!?!

:mad: I'm begging to smell something rotten here..... I found the upgrade contract last night but then discovered that the "sales" person did not have their name on the business card!! So I just spoke to Paddocks a few minutes ago, they r going to check up on who did the upgrade contract:mad:

Now it seems Paddocks don't even know what phone I"m talking about...:confused: everytime I mentioned the SAMSUNG OMNIA HD i8910 they guy on the phones asks me if it's the i900:confused: WTF??

Anyway I told him if they don't have the phone by Saturday then they must reverse the upgrade!!:mad:

will keep u all posted!!
