Guest chocobogo Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 Hi guys just thought Id do a poll to see how long your first SPV lasted b4 you had to get a replacement. I have to say I've had mine since october and have had no problems!! so nearly 9 months!!!
Guest silverback Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 I'm now on my fourth SPV. The first 2 has ink leak in the screen, and the third locked up and I couldn't unfreeze it. But fingers crossed phone number four has been going for about 2 months now with no sign of a problem.
Guest Coolboy1982 Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 my first one lasted less than a month, the second one is ok though! By the way, we had a similar poll before asking how many replacements each of us had! Some people were into their 5th replacement!!!
Guest b1uepower Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 iam on my thrid my first one lasted 2 days :? :shock:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 I have to say I've had mine since october and have had no problems!! So you had a pre-release SPV then :lol:
Guest Vector Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 i've had mine since the end of November and it's still as good as new :lol:
Guest Martin@Home Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 Still on my first... Got it 2 weeks before Xmas and it looks absolutely knackered !!!! Might have to consider a respray !
Guest Simon Desser Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 So you had a pre-release SPV then :lol: Ashley, you took the words right out of my mouth :D
Guest Brody Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 Had mine since January and only have one small spot of dust and a small bit of paint chipping off the bottom so i'm happy :lol:
Guest Will Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 I just vote, look down and i got 'headset' stuck on... so... Will
Guest cloughy Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 Still on my first SPV and happy apart from the crappy paint :evil: I hope HTC have improved on that with the Tanager :?: Has anyone here thought about changing thier SPV for a Tanager when they are released, considering its the same platform? Proud owner of SPV and XDA :lol:
Guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 No probs here, still on my first, and had it since end November, or whenever it was. I wouldn't buy the tanager, but I am keen to see the Mitac when it comes out. Smartphone in a clam design would be great.
Guest chocobogo Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 Ok I may have my months mixed up, it wasnt a pre-release but it was the first model the shop had in, must have been early november. Have to say there are a few niggly things pis*ing me off with it now, as mentioned, the paintwork is very scratched, the keys are Very sticky, especially the * key (probably due to it getting dropped in the sand on a visit to the beach a few months back). Also the volume down button has been knocked inwards and will not function anymore. But overall still usable!!
Guest Pagemakers Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 My 4th and 1st Tanager - so far so good.
Guest bosshogg Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 Got mine at the end of April and I'm on my second - the first wouldn't boot up when I got it home from the shop! This one is going fine apart from a big stripe of dust at the bottom left of the screen...
Guest mattbrown Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 ive had mine since end of november, b4 the uk update it was buggy as hell (microsoft) but since the update sweet as a nut
Guest rhaleuk Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 Got my second one today. The joystick was starting to play up and on the same day I dropped it and scratched the screen BADLY! Cant be having that so got on the phone to Orange.
Guest superkingdave Posted June 1, 2003 Report Posted June 1, 2003 think ill be losing the first soon. headset mode has got me seriously fecked off just have to be assed to sort it out but its easier now orange opened a shop in my union :lol:
Guest HelloDave Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 No. 3 for me - SPV 1 R.I.P Feb '03 (stuck in headset profile) SPV 2 R.I.P April '03 (loads of dust, could have cleaned it but a new one was better :lol:) SPV 3 still going strong, although the paint is chipped in places (damn keys!) For me the SPV would be perfect if it was built a bit better - we might hate 'em, but my Nokia 3330 is 2 years old and has hardly a scratch on it (never changed cover either)! :oops:
Guest ricmoo2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 Still got my first from November, no dust but a few scratches around the plug for the cradle.
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 still on original. bort early january. gonna get orange care and swap it tho - screen is scratched + has gone weird in places (ink leak?)
Guest Rob.P Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 I'm still on my first SPV from when they first hit the shops in November, but saying that I developed the dreaded "Headset profile" problem over the weekend, probably the same time this thread started knowing my luck :roll: :lol: So will probably be getting a replacement sometime within the next week. Shame cause other than that it was working fine no probs, odd bit of scratching on the case and screen, but nothing you wouldn't expect with it being taken on a number of alchol fueled nights.
Guest chocobogo Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 good to see that these phones are lasting well, Rob.P have u tried putting the headset jack into the socket and wiggling it about a bit, that cured my phone when it was stuck in the Headset profile!!
Guest Rob.P Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Yeah, it worked a couple o times, but then kept flicking back to headset. Got a cocktail stick out and found the microswitch and was able to get back to normal but it would never last longer than a couple of seconds, so I think the switch is knackered. O well, phoned Orange yesterday and did the £30 emergency care thing, first time I have not had insurance, so sods law dictates that the only time I don't have it is when I need it. New baby should be turning up within the next couple o hours. Thank f**k for USBTerm and large SD cards is all I can say :lol:
Guest Dylan Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Still on my first one!!! Got mine at the end of January, it's got a bit of dust and the odd scratch (including one on the screen altho it's not too bad) but on the whole, it's good! Having said that, one of the guys in work is on his 3rd since december (but i think at least one of those was due to abuse/loss while under the influnce of alcohol!) :lol:
