offlineMemberI noticed an extensive marketing strategy placed for Nokia N97 throughout the first quarter of the year.
The functionalities of the device are what people have been searching for; a portable device intact with the latest advance technology, a perfection in this era.
Temptation builds up whereby everyone craves to have one of this. Most willingly, people start to fork out hundreds of dollars to buy this marvelous gadget, never to know that there are many technical glitches.
I was deceived by the marketing gimmicks and became one of the unfortunate consumers who purchased this ‘gadget of perfection’. Perfection is just an illusion and never to be in reality. I wish to express my egregious disappointment with regards to the Nokia device N97 that I bought not long ago (19 August 2009).
During the second day of purchase, problems start to surface:
Problem 1: Calls start to hang while the other parties hang up. I will have to reboot my N97 to resolve this issue.
Problem 2: While on the call, the volume automatically shifts to mute or to the maximum. I will have to switch off my N97 to resolve this issue.
Problem 3: The functionality that was greatly emphasized in favorite contacts isn’t working properly at all. The personalization of Ringtone assigned for the contact individuals fail severely. Instead of playing selected ringtone, it turns out to be default Nokia Ringtone.
Problem 4: Another remarkable feature that it brings is mobile surfing. However, during the loading of pages, the screen blacks out and I will have to take out the battery and reboot the phone.
As the issues persisted, on 26 September 2009, I decided to make a trip to Nokia Care Centre for assistance.
The issues were rectified with a change for display module for Problem 4, and software upgrading for Problem 1-3.
I collected the phone back on the 29 September assuming and trusting all problems resolved.
To my dismay, I realized that Problem 1 and 3 still exist. With regards to problem 3, it seems that it’s impossible to placed both pictures and select a personalized song for individual caller. Similar, instead of playing selected ringtone upon receiving call, it turns out to be default Nokia ringtone.
It seems that all these while, I have been wasting my time calling and traveling down to and fro with problems unsolved. As a brand loyalty customer, all these repercussions have prove and change my perception of Nokia.
These unsolved technical glitches imply inadequate research and testing to ensure quality of the product before launching into the market.
It’s a shame that the basic function of a phone (to call) cannot even work properly. The perception that has put across to me is that I have waste my money on something which is not valuable and of no use to me. Those problems that are mentioned earlier are actually part of the functions for the phone, and it seems ridiculous that the problems cannot be rectified in the current situation.Posted 2 years ago # -
