Keep Calm, eh?

I was almost in a bad mood all day today, because I get into work and I get a phone call from the repair centre at which my phone is currently residing, the second time in a month.
"The engineers have found no fault with your phone."

I'm making it up, apparently.
She gives me the option of getting them to test it again, or have it back.
I requested it back.
She did at one point, I think, say that they couldn't test for a certain fault, then it wouldn't come up in their testing.
Eh?! Well yeah, but surely they can test for every kind of fault?

I'm in two minds.

I want my phone back. I want it to work. I want to live happily ever after for the next 12 months until I can finally upgrade the damn thing. It's no secret I don't like it much, but I prefer to this.

However, I want it to not work again, so I can take it back and get a different handset. I mean, how is this acceptable service? I'm paying for internet I can't use because my spare phone doesn't have wifi capability. Or 3G. It doesn't even have 2G. I have one game, which I have completed. Three times now. And beside all that, this phone is CLEARLY faulty, and yet I feel like I'm making it up?!

When I get it back, I'm going to carry my camera with me everywhere. So if/when it breaks again, I can take photos and videos and PROVE that I am not a batty woman, and actually, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro (why so long?) is not a decent phone.

Amusingly, the lady at the repair centre said they mostly get a lot of Blackberry's. I think when technology should be so far advanced, it's not really okay to have to have insurance in case you need your phone repairing. Because your phone will break, it seems like that is just inevitable. I reiterate: when technology is this far advanced, why is that the case?

This is how D.W.Griffith would react.



It's not very clear, but this is when a soldier chops off an enemy's head in Intolerance. It cheered me up greatly.
