baket kaya sila ganon?

i am in the series of asking questions, so please bear with me...


the other night, i was leafing through the latest preview magazine and i chanced upon this ad for the new samsung phone (forgot what model). i'm not particulary interested with the phone, but what made me notice it was one of its features, it says that it runs in Windows Mobile 6.1 professional.


my atom exec runs in windows mobile 5.0 ( i think), the then-latest version of windows mobile, so i was quite surprise to know that there is already a new version.


so i then switched to microsoft site, to learn more about the new version and to see if i can upgrade to it. but when i logged on the microsoft mobile site, there is still no link for an upgrade. still the old links i see everytime i visit the site. so i think, why not visit the 02 site to see if they have something to offer about this.


lo and behold, when i tune in to their site, this is what is saw. apparently, my atom exec is now one of their DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS. what the f...


okay, fine. no problem if they will no longer offer atom exec. i don't mind. but what's the catch? verbatim: Discontinued products have limited support. Please note that repair is subject to availability of parts. No swaps.


EH SINO BA ME SABING I-DISCONTINUE NILA YUNG PRODUCT!!!! BAKET BA SILA GAGAWA-GAWA NG PRODUCT, IBEBENTA NILA TAPOS IDIDISCONTINUE NILA TAPOS LALAGYAN LAGYAN NILA NG LIMITED SUPPORT???? PANO NAMAN KAMING MGA NAUTO NILANG BUMILI NG LETSENG PHONE NA TO!!!! PANO KUNG MAGKAPROBLEMA KAMI, KANYA KANYA NA LANG KAMI NG PUNTA SA GREENHILLS???!!!!


hayy.. nakakainis talaga.. grrrrr.... although i am still quite satisfied with my phone, and so far, after 18 months of using it, i still haven't encountered any problem with it, save for its battery life, nakakainis lang na ganon ang post-sales services nila...


what does a poor consumer do after learning this, wala. e di hope and pray that the atom exec won't fail me. that it won't break up on me. not until i'm satisfied with its service. this phone should serve me up to the last cent that i paid for it. huh! this phone could have bought me one designer bag huh!


now i'm thinking if i should have bought HP or palm. hmm.. i don't have plans of buying another phone or pdaphone per se. wala pang budget.


so ano na ngayon, atom EX-ec na ang phone ko? or atom EK-EK?
