I called in to T-Mobile asking what it would cost to cancel, I wasn't even thinking iPhone, my company is going to start offering cell phone service via a partnership with Sprint/Nextel and I was considering getting on board early. Well thanks to all the people cancelling for iPhones (I'm assuming) I ended up getting a Sidekick iD for $50 w/ free shipping! Thanks Gotta-Have-Its!

Heh... that and T-Mobile really does have a "treat 'em right" philosophy, for employees and customers both. Since I'm in the middle of getting hired onto one of their call-centers, I've gotten some glimpses into their policies, and I don't doubt they'd have thrown you something nearly as juicy to keep you even if it hadn't been for the iPhones. They keep notes on that stuff, though, to keep people from playing that card repeatedly.Quoth CancelMyService View Post

T-Mobile is awesome, there's a reason I've been with them since 2004. When a local store totally fubar'd our account I called up the 1-800 number and as soon as the rep pulled up my account (before I said anything) she just went "wow, that's not right" and went ahead and fixed everything. We even talked about her being a Katrina refuge and getting her job when she moved to Texas (we had a lot of time, dude at the store majorly f'd things up and it took a while to fix). It honestly was the best customer-service experience I've ever had with any company.

I had minimized that last night, to wait for it to load (Dial-up, doncha know!) while I kept surfing CS, then forgot about it until I just got back on the 'puter.
Karma bit her in the ass big time! She struts up there, flashing her wad of cash, and thinks that all she has to do was buy off one person, and all the others that had waited in line would have wasted their time.
I normally don't like cocky attitudes like what the kid who took her up on the offer displayed, but man, she deserved to have some salt rubbed into her wound.

When i see stories like this all I can do is shake my head...there's always someone who thinks they can get around the system, but it only ends up biting them in the butt....He deserves to have to pay extra for his stupidity!
Finally watched the youtube video of the woman in Dallas - DUH! I wasn't even remotely interested in buying one yet I knew that it was only one per person. Did she think she was extra-special and they might let her buy all of them? Even if she had been able to, she wouldn't have made it past the whole line of people who waited for hours to buy theirs! And the smug look on her face just made me laugh...hahahahaha - but the guy whose spot in line she bought had the last laugh! the $800 he got for it I'm sure paid for his phone, and all the accessories he got to go with it....Comment

A price/performance decision of the same type that corporate suits make? That leads to a very boring life. There is a certain value to "omgcool" in your life-- or at least, should be, unless you're an accountant down to your soul.Quoth Polenicus View Post
(Though to be told, my choice of Apple computers is less in the cool packaging and more in that I like the way they build software. It's less frustrating to use. I'm still not plunking down $500 for a phone. Maybe when they hit $100 for the iPhone unberNano, if I'm still required to have one. Hell, I didn't have an iPod until a bank gave me one, though since then, I've wondered how I survived without one. It's wonderful for drowning out muzak.)Comment

Anything with the "OMGCOOL PHATPOO" lable on it is a piece of $h!t, I can give MANY examples.
With cell phones, I always tell people, do you want style or reliability. You can only choose one.Comment

*snicker* Yeah, not quite. It's more like a 3>4 conversion rate right now. *sigh* I remember, not too long ago, when the dollar and euro were nearly equal.Quoth Canarr View Post600 Euro? That's more than 2,000 USD!
Okay, maybe not quite.

Okay folks, there's been a bit of Mac bashing on this thread. Macs haven't burned your dog, stole your beer, cross-dressed in your secret stash of frilly undies, and they're used by a reasonable percentage of people visiting the site.
It's a computer, not a customer. A touch of perspective, please?

Much better....
All I have to say about Macs is that they take some getting used to if you're used to using PCs all the time. In college when I worked on the school newspaper I had to type up all my stories on Macs because the proofreading and layout people all used Macs. I would sit down at one in the computer lab and have the damndest time trying to figure out where Internet Explorer was so I could connect to the Internet.
Plus there was no right-clicking or left-clicking with the mouse--the mouse itself was just one big button.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.
