Nah, she just wanted me to read as a form of entertainment rather than become engrossed in some crazy unrealistic tv show. I think it made a difference in the years that really counted. Now that I'm at uni my tv just hangs there like a pretty picture of a black field with a black sky and black flowers. I'm back at home with her for a few weeks before school starts and all I do is lie in bed and watch tv all day. She said yesterday that tv runs my life (as she laid on the sofa, eyes intently focused on the tv). |

Nah, she just laughs and says "you love your new laptop don't you". My reply is that I have to re-familiarize myself with Apple OS before classes begin. |

hi there miss uk... yes, I got my phone back a few days ago but I think I messed up while putting on a camera driver for the phone (the phone's messed up, performance wise) so I thought I'd reflash the phone and start fresh and while promising myself that I will not mess it up again it works good as it was now 
to whoever planning to get a not-officially-for-release-in-the-US-phones, the US SE service center will tell you to fax your proof of purchase to "gray market phones" and will give you a "case number" and then "we'll see what we can do for you" that's what I got from my last call to them about my K750i ...ooooohhhhh..... be warrrrnnnneeedddd... *trying to be spooky*
unlike Moto, who'll gladly accept the phone and then just return it back untouched with a note "we are not authorized to help you because your phone is not an official US release" you got to pay for both postage cost (to mail it from your place to them and from them back to you).
which one you prefer?

At least they will "see what they can do" now. SEUS would not touch my Z800i with a 10-foot pole while wearing a HAZMAT suit 2 years ago! |

K750i isn't a official American release..
My god they've been out years those lol
Buying a phone abroad seems like a waste of space to me next time to avoid all this just send the phone to the UK  centre they will fix it with no doubt
Im wondering if I were to buy something in America would any Service centre touch it then
Carphonewarehouse are pretty good there fixing myphone after I messed the IMEI after entering a code beleiving it was a unlock code.
Didn't buy it from them but there doing it for me,
they called me a week or so ago saying they couldn't flash it and were sending to Samsung, I was told by Samsung this type of thing wasn't covered via the warranty... Im eager to see if they're gonna wack a fee on me getting it back lol

Yeah, the guys at CPW were pretty helpful for me too. It will be interesting to see how they do in the long run here in the States. I don't think Best Buy has created the key to the Big 4's lock but it looks like Best Buy Mobile is going to be a success. With Google holding a lighter to the bum of FCC, things may get interesting. The thought of someday having an independent mobile dealer is unfathomable! I like buying crippled devices from my carrier, it makes me feel distincty American... |

I guess they received quite a handful of phonecalls from people owning a handset that's not intended for the "official US release" thing so they decided to "do something" about it. but I'm guessing their something would be the same as Moto. they'll tell you to pay for shipping both way (the phone to them and from them) but including this "sorry can't help you" note while shipping it back to us
miss uk:
try getting an iPhone from ATT store and take it back to UK and go broke it in someway. then call an Apple service center, tell us what they tell you I think they won't give you the same answer like the manufacturers here in the US. in my most honest opinion, the US is and had been trying to act like Japan in the weird outsiders-denial period (don't remember what era). I wonder what cause this........ hmmm.... *glancing to all direction, scared of the secret agents who might be listening/reading/watching*

@ miss uk: well, if it breaks, I'll get it fixed or just replace it. Just hope it doesn't happen. Rarely have issues with SE phones |
