I bought a t68i in greehills and i was ripped, i think i bought a fake one. It says R5D007 on the software but when i bought it to SE Center SM West they said they cant update its software. The case is now a mess and its just 2 weeks old, all the blue metallic stuff is now gone, the yes and no keys have lost its mettalic finish. The volume control is blakc not white. WHen i wanted to chenge the face plate SE SM West said my faceplate has dimples protruding at the bottom of * and # buttons, meaning the screws are too long and they cant replace it too. Any one who is willing to help. Im planning to get the shitty prts replaced and the software updated but i cant find a place or shop that can help me.

Please?????

Tnx in advance

we have not failed in warning people about buying phones from that place.

return it, get your money back and buy from authorized retailers.

the extra money you pay for at the authorized dealers is for your peace of mind.

getting stuff from greenhills (or any other place for that matter) always entails some risk. at least, with authorized dealers, you know who you can pester and run after. (diba bokayo?)

take arnoldc's advise, demand a reimbursement. bringing a few friends, with bulging foreheads, este muscles, could help convince them you're serious about it. (ask eumorpho-lakas-tao for his free sched)

@steel- pards, i suggest takbo ka na sa GH at wag mo ng patagalin yang unit sa kamay mo. the sooner, the better. also, handa mo na rin sarili mo sa mahaba (at mainit) na balitaktakan

wag mo ng paayos/pakalikot yang unit mo dahil baka yan pa ang maging dahilan para di isoli pera mo. (well they can make stories na ikaw ang sumira/nakasira ng t68 mo)

Btw, magkano bili mo sa T68 mo sa GH?

okay ka din kapjac!! sabay bawi ng magkano bili mo! ahehehe!!!

buying a mobile phone is like driving a car without insurance. matuto na sana tayo sa mga ganitong pangyayari. (ayan gumana na naman ang pagiging noli de castro ko). peace everyone.
are you on the list?

Sad to say... a lot of Greenhills shops are all F%$#@#$ .... they sell stolen, fake, and defective products. I don't know why people are still suckered into buying there... sigh... I guess the 'rep' of being cheap.

Greenhills sucks. I don't mind if they bring in cheap products... but it's obvious that they are just theives and swindlers... don't patronize ANY shop in greenhills.

Sounds to me like you got an old T68mc that was 'recased' ... no, Semicon cannot upgrade the software any further on that model.

we eventually get the quality of phone we are willing to pay.
when it is too good to be true, maybe it is.

greenhills is notorious for those defective, non-warrantied phones. you only support the smugglers, snatchers, and all sort of con people by buying from greenhills.

Tnx to SEMICON Main, I got it fixed. Sobra na akong happy!!!

They checked d phone, replaced the Antenna Flex, Vibra, Main Frame, Keypad, Face Plate and upgraded the software to R8A015. I got the phone from greenhills at 8,300 plus repairs from semicon 1,500 plus, almost 10k.

Ok na sya!!!!
