Well my scream started on 5 August. My Mobile phone gave up, died, went splat. 
Apparently there was a microscopic crack in the screen. It was only 9 months old. I liked the phone but was told they weren't doing those anymore. I ended up buying the same make but a far cheaper model. Didn't like it. The screen was smaller and it was much more cumbersome. Well, I can't afford a better one atm so grin and bear it. On Wed 10 Aug I went running. Put my app for running on and off I went. When I came back the phone wasn't working. Thought I'd just run out of power but no. So the phone lasted 5 days. Took it back and saw the gormless salesman who sold it to me he took the back off and saw some moisture. He told me that as I'd obviously had got it wet they wouldn't usually replace it. Wet? When? I hadn't got a clue how moisture had got in it. He kept saying I will replace it this time. You must not tell anyone about it though.
As I cycled home the phone was making bleeping noises. It was turning itself off and on again. It said that the SD card had an error. I tied formatting it. After an hour of the phone going silly I took the battery out as it wouldn't stop turning itself off and on. The next day I got a message saying my data bundle had overrun. They were going to charge me for this! Went back to the store and there were more problems when they tried to sort things out on the computer about my usage it wouldn't recognise my DOB or mum's maiden name. Same salesman asked are you sure this is correct? He looked at the phone and the SD card was now working. I eventually got through to the customer services and pointed out that my 'large' data usage the day before was way out of character for me. She originally said well it's because of all the data your new phones have downloaded. She eventually said as a goodwill gesture they would give me an extra gigabyte of data and not charge me the extra. I went berserk! GOODWILL? I had not touched the phone other than to try and make it stop doing silly noises. The time this started was whilst I was cycling back from the store and phoning my aunt. She kept on saying that it was only my word for it and as she said they would give me extra data etc as a goodwill gesture. I was fuming! The phone is working sort of ok but it now tells me that there is no SD card.........AAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
