Ntelos Motorola Hint Sucks!! Hint water damage problem
YES! Or no... depending what aspects you look at. The Motorlola Hint is a cheap piece of crap. Water damage?? No... but that doesn't stop them from saying that. Apparently there's a strip of paper in the phone that turns red to tell them its water. However, after having my Hint for only about 41 days and no water damage or otherwise whatsoever (aside from normal humidity and other condensation changes we can't control), my send button stopped working entirely. I could use most functions with enter, but could not make a PHONE CALL. Ntelos said that I was unfortunately just a bout a week past the replacement warranty and would have to pay the $100 insurance deductible to replace it. On top of that, they can supply no proof of the water damage, pictures or otherwise. Considering I have been an Ntelos customer for almost 10 YEARS NOW and got the phone at a still high 2 yr renewal promotion of $100, this seemed obviously criminal to me. Well, the State Commission agreed and spoke to the Ntelos store I dealt with, made them refund the insurance deductible and send me a new Hint; and also to call them if I had other similar problems again with the phone or Ntelos. Anywho... got the new one less than one month ago and its starting to do the same thing again! Buttons stick on and keep sending calls, etc... the phone is junk; but call your state's commission and put in a complaint. They will follow up with it. This phone is a cheap piece of crap and anyone who has one should have it replaced for free(with a different phone)!!!!!!!
