Whats the battery life like on this phone ive been reading some bad reviews about the battery life
Sounds like he didn't want to faff about with a dead handset. Get him to fax/scan/mail the receipt - O2 do want to know as it was brought from them (this is the quickest fix). The second longest fix is you tell RIM the device is under warranty and you are obligated to repair it. If they get shirty say the following:
"I am now recording this call from this moment onwards as proof you will not honour your own warranty. Please reply to the following question - will you honour the warranty on a faulty BB Bold with a broken touchpad that was made less than year ago. The warranty that is defined as"Blackberry Handset Limited warranty" as displayed on your website."
This will probably make the operator force the issue higher up the chain as going on record saying you don't honour your warranty would be pretty amusing if it reached the media. If they ask for proof of purchase say you do not have it but as the device was launched <1 year by their own admission then the requirement for proof is superfluous and you are more than willing to hand over the device for fixing and can read back the serial.
But honestly - call the person you brought it from and inform him it's broken and you will be sending it back. If s/he kicks up a fuss kindly inform him that shipping goods not as described is not acceptable (you may need to record this call) and that as you will have proof it is defective (take a video showing it doesn't work, stick on youtube on private) and has no marks or otherwise indicating that this was done by yourself AND you informed him on the day the device arrived that this is a slam dunk PP dispute win for you either way should he decide not to agree to the return.
How long does the battery last for you with average usage in a day?
Oh, it will last a day of fairly heavy use without any problems. I get 2 days of moderate use out of mine.
Spawn you finally got yours then!
And the battery life for me is ok, it lasts me 2-3 days with moderate use! I have a charging dock so don't mind charging it everyday!
