no support from RIM on Blackberry 8800
I recently bought an unlocked 8800 that was set-up on the Cingular network. Within 30 days the device charging/transfer mechanism has become loose and stopped working.
I talked to RIM and Cingular will not cover the warranty cause its unlocked and thus effectively has voided the warranty with Cingular. They will replace for a fee of $299 USD. RIM will exchange/replace the device for a cheaper fee than Cingular, however, they will take 5-7 business days. The other problem is that they will set-it to factory defaults for Cingular and the device will be locked. Does this make sense? There is a manufacturing defect that RIM is not willing to acknowledge that is the problem not the unlocking of the device. What can be done???? Please help. |

That's the problem with getting a device from one carrier and unlocking it for use on another...... Sorry to hear of your issue though....

Cingular would not give them an unlock code in any of the above scenarios if he's not a customer. Period.
If you get a locked one, you can pay to have it unlocked. It's pretty reasonably priced. Since you're not their customer, I don't imagine you're going to get very far arguing with Cingular. |
