With regards to repair process , Bell Mobility policies ensure that physical damage is to be cited to as many customers as possible to avoid having to pay repair costs out of BM’s budget. The extended warranty ($7/month) works only for 2 repairs / replacements and then you are no longer eligible. The store employees are not trained on the repair portion that well at all and usually refer to Technical Support for these matters.
My advice with regards to repair is DONT GO TO THE STORE FOR REPAIR ISSUES. The employees there don’t know much about the phone technically , if its a software issue they will call Technical Support from the same phone number you would call them on, and you have to pay a deposit at the store. If you call Technical Support request they send you a box with shipping label and you will NOT pay anything for a deposit or shipping. Only if the phone is determined to have a physical damage from negligence.
If the phone is not repair after 3-4 times you have the right for a replacement and also the right to speak to a department called innovations. They are an internal department that deal with very technical aspects of phones. Bell Mobility employees would never tell you anything about this because they are instructed not to. Palm Pre are the worse phones ever with repair.
