Samsung E715 probs

By the time I noticed my E715 screen was fading, mostly because it just happened to reinitialize on it own, I started reading the reviews and was astounded how badly the E715 has faired in the long-run. Of course, my warranty ran out a few months ago and the only alternative I have from t-mobile is a $70 refurbished E715 with a 3-month contract, or a new one for $125 but with a 12 month contract extension and a free std bill after 6 months.

If you do an exchange the warranty is good for either 90 d...

I advise (as a friend not CSR) to process HSE at your 11month warrenty MArk, but we all know the blender, car, VCR, all die the day after the warrenty period, Unfortunatly the warranty is 1yr, but on the bright side T-mobile does at least give options, I have Sprint right now 2yr contract 1yr warranty, Im out of warrenty and not close enough to where they even care if I cancel, (tried it spent next 6 hrs trying to get phoen back on, there way to willing to hit that cancel button, and I tried the "if I was going to cancel my serv what would I expect routine" but what im trying to get at is alot of other companies leave you hanginh there for a yr (11 months) w/ no real vialble options, by the way the way that I understand Sprint upgrade progra...
