Reader Corey relays his explosive story , meet with sumptuousness coupe , detonating telephone and chemicals in the oculus .
I have ( had ) a Samsung Rogue cell phone with Verizon . I was leave behind the gymnasium and had the phone in my pocket . As I sat down in the driver ’s nates of my car , the speech sound fell in between the seat and the center console table . ( Is n’t that the worst ! ) After unsuccessfully examine to retrieve it by the tips of my finger’s breadth , I got out of the gondola and moved my seat up . ( Infiniti G35 Coupe ) The reason for giving you the make of the car is that the seats mechanically slide onward when lifting the lever .
So here I am , torso in the rear nates ’s understructure space , try out to see my phone , when I start to hear a creaking . I look nearer underneath the fanny and my telephone explode in my eyes , and my cheek . I forthwith ran to the gym window , eff on it to get someone to let me in , and sprinted to the john to wash my eyes . Black crumbs and remnants of what I thought was the blind bursting rain buckets out of my eyes the 20 minute I was rinsing it . The burning sensation in my eyes withdraw slightly , but I was still afraid of what chemicals could be eat away that I could n’t rinse . My roommate pull the phone out from underneath the seat and could n’t consider what he regard . “ No way dude . ” I have a few pictures confiscate .
After look sharp to the hospital and getting rinse off out , check for scrape on the centre , and being dictate antibiotic I ’m finger much in force . I thought I was going to be unsighted for the residuum of my sprightliness . This was a very scarey experience and I still have the phone . I took it to Verizon today to see what they could do about it . I have insurance on it but plainly do n’t want a phone that can basically be a dud . The associate there proceeded to take pictures of it and show it to every other employee in there . “ I ’ve never seen this before in my aliveness . ”
I ’m just happy to have my vision . Fortunate really . After telling my protagonist that , he allege one affair no one else enjoin , “ Regardless of your seat sliding slowly into it , the phone should not grow into a bomb . ”
Corey then follows up with Verizon , who took the cheap way out .
I spoke with Verizon / Samsung yesterday . Verizon at first tried to give me a refurbished telephone as a replacement . After having problem put that earphone in the system of rules under my account I necessitate them , “ So is this what you guys do when a speech sound malfunctions or swash up , give them a refurbished one ? ” He then said that ’s why he ’s take me a Modern one . ( Crappy one by the way )
But logically , this is a Samsung trouble , not a Verizon problem , since Samsung made the earphone . But Corey had even less luck there .
Just as an update , the Samsung rep has yet to return my call . I called him back after he spoke to me on Monday , he gave me his email to post the pic , the email did n’t go through , and he still has n’t called me back . This state of affairs is super :/ My eyes have been chafe the last couple of solar day and I ’ll be seeing an Ophthalmologist Friday .
At the very least , Samsung , you should reimburse the guy for his aesculapian bills ( it does n’t seem like much ) and provide him with a new telephone . A better one , even , like theSamsung Moment , that just got Android 2.1 . In any font , like his protagonist says , a phone should not bend into a bomb … ever . From what it face like , it ’s the battery — the most fickle part of the speech sound — that explode .
