DIGI and their Lousy Promotion

My mom received this sms from Digi on thursday :

Special Promo on Bonus Points! Grab a handset worth RM299 with 3000 points redemption at Midvalley North Court 28-30 of Redeem intantly while stocks last.

I received this sms on friday :

Redeem handset worth RM299 with 3000 bonus points@ Digi R/show Midvalley North Court 29-30Mar. Only 80 units/day. First come first served. Counter opens @10am

Digi didn't mentioned the phone brand & model for grab so I checked their website and found this promo :
I came to Midvalley yesterday afternoon only to find out that Digi offered only 50 phones per day. I didn't checked out the brand/model they gave coz the phones were long gone by the time I arrived. I assumed it was going to be same one as the online offer, which is Nokia 6120 with free bluetooth for 3,000 points.

So not to be dissapointed like yesterday, this morning me and my mom came yo Midvalley again as early as possible to be the first in queue. Few people already there! I was actually the 7th in line. I've been queueing since 8am...and the booth only opened at 10am!

While waiting I've been informed that Digi will not give the same phone as the one for online redemption!! Instead they gave Sony Ericsson J110i like the picture below.

I never heard of this phone and I didn't know the functions or the sale price of this model. From the picture I was quite impressed with the design so I thought ok la not bad apa the design. Look sleek some more...until I fully charged the battery and switched on the phone for the first time. Alamakssss...why the screen so like a toy phone...then I checked out the functions. Aiyooo...very basic to the max...when I said basic...really....really...really basic. Here's the spec :

This can't be a RM299 phone Digi claimed from the sms they sent to me. I felt cheated...I was angry...still am...tho it is a free phone (mind that I actually gave up 3000 points worth of RM120 should I use it to pay the bill) but still DIGI LIED TO ME AND TO OTHER CUSTOMERS...ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WENT TO QUEUED AND WAITED ONLY TO BE DISSAPOINTED...LIKE ME!!!!

Hmmm...I won't make noises if Digi was honest in their promotion. I'm not picky when it comes to owning a phone coz I always prefer the basic functions without heavy loads of features like camera, mp3, IR or bluetooth. BUT with RM299 phone I expected more than what they gave me. I bought my dearly departed phone for only RM250 but still got the mms, radio, headset, ringtone composer and wap functions with slim body, anti-slip backcover and bigger screen resolution.

Oh ya...let me introduce you to my dead phone who comitted suiside last month by flying out of an open car window and landed on a tar in the middle of Jalan Semantan. Alhamdulillah I managed to retrieved the main body to save the sim card but couldn't find the battery and back cover.

These 2 phones from the next pix are also in RIP mode. I got these phones for free when I subscribed to Vodafone in UK. That Samsung served me less than a year...comitted suicide by jumping in a hot mug of Nescafe while I was doing revision. Partly my fault for putting the phone on a high ground but it was my friend who shook the table that dropped the phone...plupppp...directly in the mug. Am I such a terrible owner?! The Panasonic phone served me the longest since late 2002. Just died in March last year as I couldn't find the replacement battery...ancient stuff when it comes to tech.

*sigh* I better stop now...but still...thanks mom for the thoughts of letting me use the phone. Appreciate it very much...muahssssssss
