Next week Sony Ericsson will announce a recall of certain chargers, the faulty ones say "Made in Thailand by Delta" on them. I think it's the small type of charger only which is affected. However full details and what to do will be announced next week and there will be advertising to support this.

Mine's made in thailand by delta and has been acting strange lately, charging, not charging etc. My brothers morroco charges works fine tho. I won't be leaving it in at night anymore. The contacts seen inferior to my brothers also.

Well I just went into my local Orange shop to see what to do with my faulty/exchangeable T610.
Since they didn't have any and (in my opinion) they have no viable alternative - they said my only choice was to cancel my upgrade and go bac to my old phone. Unfortunately I have disposed of my old T68 so this was not an option.
So I phoned Orange CS and managed to get them to extend my exchange period to 6 months!.
BUT the CS agent said that SOnyEricsson had recalled the phones - NOT orange.
Phoned SOnyEricsson and the denied it.
SO go figure!

This all seems very strange. What about other networks, have they had similar instructions?

Just a passing thought. Someone in Orange to try to push up Nokia stock market share price before disposing it or perhaps try to clear old Nokia phone stocks in Orange

Will shops be able to replace just the charger or will they want the whole unit back? I doubt they'll have anymore T300's with cameras left, the offer stopped a month ago.

If they say the problem lies in the charger, of course you would never give them your phone if they cannot replace it!

T610 uses the same charger as far back as Ericsson T28 & Ericsson HBH-10. I guess 3 years back. There are plenty of the same charger around. |
