The other day, after only 3 months’ use my lovely MDA Vario II coughed and died on me. Its light was extinguished quite literally when the backlight failed to come on any more making the screen barely readable even if you were standing on the surface of the sun (ok I know that the sun is in fact a ball of plasma, or superheated gases but let’s be honest, if you were within ten thousand miles of the sun, checking your smartphone is likely the last thing on your mind, as your mind has probably been burnt away with the rest of you).
Still I managed to call T-Mobile who, after having me turn the phone off and on again several times at the request of a stream of increasingly egg-headed technical support people, concluded that the phone was, indeed, knackered. They immediately despatched a new one by elf (this is what they do to keep the money coming in when Santa isn’t paying overtime), and it arrived within 8 working hours, which is rather marvellous.
So all is right with the world and, even better, I have a brand spanking new phone which works much better than the one I dropped, or should say, failed all on it’s own…
