Shoddy Product Nokia Asha 311

I purchased this phone on 10th Sept 2012. In the first week of October, the touch screen would not function, rendering the phone useless. I was informed that it was a software problem and would require the phone to be sent to the service centre for at least a day. I was furious as the phone was new but I was informed that as these are electronic goods, there can be no certainty of fault-free performance. This made me even more angry as I believe the company spends a lot of money on advertising that persuades customers to the contrary, if not in as many words, then by implication. When I asked if I could get a substitute phone so I could be connected till my phone was repaired, I was informed that is not possible.
Anyhow, the phone was repaired and received back after a day in working condition. What has really upset me now is that the same problem recurred. I took the phone again to the store and demanded my money back as any ordinary customer would. I was told there is no money back policy and the fact that the phone is an electronic item etc etc was repeated.
I am without a phone for a second time, within two months of purchase. This seriously inconveniences me. I am also terribly disappointed that the staff at the dedicated Nokia store immediately started to inform me about the fine print regarding the purchase which makes it clear that the customer has no choice but to stick with the absolute lemon that he has been sold.
I have been asked to email my complaint, upon which the company MAY consider replacing my piece.

    Skype has not published a native version of its messaging application for Nokia Series 40 devices. Therefore, it is not possible as of this moment.

  • Nokia Asha Platform in Nokia Asha 311

    Hello, does Nokia Asha Platform will available be update for Nokia Asha 311?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Aww? No it isn't.
    Nokia 311 is running on the Nokia s40 OS under the Nokia Developer Platform 1.0
    Whereas Nokia 501 will be using the Nokia Asha Software Platform (ASP 1.0) which has been developed over the smarterphone platform that Nokia acquired some years ago.
    Although the looks can be same, the internal coding of both will remain deferent. Also, the price at which 311 was sold, its hard for Nokia to keep supporting this old device and give it such big software updates. But Nokia is the king and lets see what the end result will be
    Closing - Asha Software Platform is also S40, just a bit more polished. It will still remain a java only OS

    So better is to visit the Nokia Care Center and ask them to do the job

    @Jagmohan258747 when did that start (time/date), do you remember? Are you searching a radio station (that is broken actually) or just try to listen to one of your favorites?
    The latter should still work, therefore, we have to look into this issue together – but we need the answer to the two questions above.
