ANY 5600's still available?

sitlet · 09-10-2005, 11:04 AM

i was supposed to be sent a 5600, but they sent me a samsung a880 instead. i absolutely hate this phone. the battery lasts about 8 hours before its completely dead, and teh ringers are so low i cant even hear my phone when its in my pocket. i was told to take this into a sprint store to exchange it for a 5600, but ive called every store in a 50 mile radius and none of the stores have any. i need a phone with a mp3 player/card slot, but i do not want a slider, so the 5600 is my only choice. is there any way i can get one? can i go to a radio shack and get one there? or what about the little kiosks in the malls?

Well that's not equivalent at all...

No SD slot.
NOT QVGA.
NO RL

They are NO WHERE NEAR equivalent...

See that comparison, then call lock/line and complain.

no this was not a lockline replacement. this was a replacement through retention. i originally had a 7400 and they told me they were out of those, but they had some 5600's available. but they sent me an a880 instead. so i called back and they told me to take it to a store for an exchange, but like i said none of the stores have any.

Well, in that case ... hmmmm ... I know they discontinued the 5600 in favor of the new 9xxx/9xx models coming out "soon."

well if lockline sends you a phone you dont like, the store is not obligated to exchange it for you...lockline needs to handle that
