Sony Ericsson S710a

Everytime we call, they say they don't have a date yet, and seem annoyed. Like its my fault I won something a month ago and they can't deliver, yet the phone is shipping to stores as we speak.

Did anyone notice the TBD on the site for some reps? Its says under review.

they do the same to me, guess they get asked alot- but hey, the site says it depends on the release, and they still don't know. I hope they don't do like samsung and wait 4 months

Well they said it depends on the release date...and it's released...

Didn't someone state earlier that SE was planning on shipping them at the exact same time as the release phones?

I'm not holding my breath the we'll get the phones we won anytime soon. I'm in the plano call center and most of the times a phone has been won, I've forgotten about it until it is actually delivered.

I called the "Program Headquarters" # on the website (800-803-5602) and they said that the award phones have not yet shipped. The guy said he had no idea when they would. They're waiting for word from SE to ship them (whatever the heck that means). ☹️


👿 👿 👿

I won one as well..and I got the exact same answer...I am a direct retail rep out of the Chicago market....I think everyone who one a phone should post on here....and somehow we should organize some sort of mass call in to really throw them off the hook!!!! 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈

Weird...I won a s710a in the train/gain contest, and I just received it yesterday.

...errrriiiiiggghhhhttt.....

WTF was that?

Please don't kid around with us about such things. It would be cruel at this point in the game.

Did you REALLY just receive it yesterday?

If so, then just out of curiosity, which market are you in?

I'm hoping that you're telling us the truth & maybe the rest of us will start getting our phones soon!

Nevermind... I just read your next post where you confessed you were screwing w/ us...

Not funny. 😡

Sorry man...I'm in the same boat everyone else is in. I was just tryin to lighten the mood 😁

i emailed train gain:

me:
Can you tell me when we're gonna get our hands on the S710a's (and
subsequently out the door)?

Thanks a lot,

them:
We do not have a date at this time.


Thank you
Program Headquarters





kinda weird, eh?
it also bothers me that they're setup with an aol account.

Yeah... They like to give these short, curt answers to us don't they? Thanks for trying to help man - emailing them like that even though you're not really benefiting from it personaally - that's pretty cool of you 🙂

As for the AOL thing.... who knows... I really don't give a crap as long as they ship my phone to me (preferably in a timely fashion).

I would think that it would be more to SE's advantage if the hundreds of sales reps who won this thing nationwide were receiving their award phones around the launch date. Customers really do pay attention to the model phone that the sales rep personally uses. Its like an endorsement of sorts. SE will definately sell more of the phones if customers see us using them.

thanks, but its no problem, just tryin to help out the Phonescoop.com S710a hype team!

You da man!!!!! (burp)

Time for another drink to console myself in the abscence of my phone!

make sure not to break those pretty dialing fingers in some inter-bar skirmish!

So continually calling and e-mailing them is supposed to accomplish what exactly?

Had to get serious on us, huh?

It would make us feel better 😛

Actually, it probably wouldn't accomplish much of anything. Just griping about our predicament.

Every once in awhile I have a moment of seriousness...it has passed now though.

Gotta get back to installing my exhaust!

lets give em hell, we sold thier product for them under very strict deadlines, we did what they asked of us, and very well i might add. we got our 500 points in in time, now we want our 710's.... or i may just have to recomend all my customers to motorola or nokia until they comply 😈 😈 😈

I'm with you on that one man.... We fulfilled our end of the bargain, so its time for them to fulfill theirs! It's torture to get to play with the dummy phone, and then start selling the real thing to others next week, when we don't have ours!
👿

lol!... we had to get 1000 points in telesales.

Did you get your 1000 in time?

YEP! #43! 😁

Has anyone who won the phones on the Train & Gain under TBD?

Terry C.

Not I... though after hearing you talk about that I've repeatedly checked the winners list in my market to make sure that I'm not one of them. I did see that the guy in the #9 spot has had his name removed for the last 2 days & it just says "under review - TBD" instead.

Not really...just fu*kin' around. I keep gettin' the same answers too.

I am sooooo pissed...here are all these hoo haas getting their new phones...and here we are selling the damn product for Sony....and the answer we keep getting in email is no ship date has been determined yet.....!!!!! WTF!!!! I think we all should boycott selling sony products until we get our phones!!!! 😈

I'm getting pissed too. If they don't plan on shipping them for 2 weeks (just for example) then I wish that they'd just come out & tell us. Its just like the waiting game for Cingular to release it - nobody knows when!!! Just to have a date to look forward to would be nice.

👿

Serious...right?? A simple date would fix all of this....I wonder if the email system they use has that annoying message pre-programmed...you all know the one...if you have sent an email....


We do not have any ship date for award phones at this time.


Thank you
Program Headquarters

Also...the reps seemed pissed to even talk to us....and we are the ones selling the damn phones for them.....aaaargh...why do they do this???? 👿

This is driving me insane.....maybe when my store gets a couple in this week....I will "demo" one out until I get mine as an award......yeah!!!! That is a great idea....I advise all winners to do the same...if you can get away with it!!! 😈

At least you can do that - I can't 👿

I work for an agent company & the guy who does the ordering for us probably isn't going to be ordering any of these any time real soon. I think he's biased against SE... another MotoFreak.... We had to practically beg him to order z500's, telling him about how much $$ we were missing out on b/c of the mad rush for the phone.
