The Cingular 8125 (AT&T) version, MDA from T-Mobile and several others are all HTC Wizard 110 models. The HTC P4300 is the "dirrect from HTC version." All models or versions of this are plagued by a weak but easy to manufacture type of connection under the screen to allow for the querty keyboard to slide. The screen issue is caused by the keyboard sliding out crooked, and damaging the touch screen power and signalling connections. Any fast and/ or sideways movement to the slider can damage these contacts. This product has been rebranded many times and eventually was past on to smaller cell carriers to be liquidated. This phone in its various packages has been out for a little more then two years, but the small carrier (owned cy cingular) that I purchased mine (HTC p4300) through claimed that this model was the latest and greatest and was the only "touchscreen" they offered. I needed to replace a damaged phone that day. So I bought it. Do to this design flaw and a few others as well as glitches caused by "end users" not reading software compatibility closely made this unit un-supportable by the initial intended carrier. Many software/ firmware revisions as well as packaging changes were made to include as little support for failures for any reason. The wording in the manuals and severly limited warranty without proof of knowledge by HTC of defects relieves them of any responsability to us the end user. "Buyer beware, use phone at your own risk." Soon after these issues came to light they released p4350 models and shortly after moved away from this style chassis design, but they had to try to get rid of them somewhere. sign me up for the class action! Don't know what else I can do, but become familiar w/ these phones. I am collecting them in "beyond repairable condition," in hopes to have parts when mine breaks. Like the other POS phones I have owned before, me fix. Good Luck to all! 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Listen up everyone. I have an 8125 with a broken screen and it was my fault, I accidentally fell on it with my elbow. It's all use and abuse people. You give me the toughest mobile hardware out there and in time it will be a piece of crap! Why? Because its PLASTIC! Did you think they where made of diamonds? Hello!! What do you expect from PLASTIC? Any "mobile" device with the topsy-turvy and tumble of life will junk out on you eventually. How many old cell phones you have piled up in your closet that you don't even give a second thought about? Some of the I'm sure Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, etc.. all good companies, but now there phones are crap,right?, why?, used and abused PLASTIC! But now we're hear crying about another over-glorified piece of plastic? COME ON PEOPLE! Suck it up!

"This a-hole doesn't read the problems that happen after treating the phone well, not dropping like this idiot. When a device craps out consistently from the same cause for many owners (remember earlier gen. iPod battery problems?) the manufacturer should step up like Apple did back when. HTC doesn't engineer em' tough, especially for slideouts/similar designs. Buyers beware and this guy above should suck it instead of us sucking it up 4 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

You people - the complainers - are out of your collective minds! You buy a $600-$800 device, don't buy repair/replacement insurance, mistreat it (bet none of you had either a case or a screen protector on it, and then you go whining and crying to the manufacturer - outside the warranty period!And you wonder why neither the manufacturer nor your service provider wants anything to do with or for you What parallel universe do you whiners live in? Please let me know so I can avoid it like the plague. 2 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

And if you belly-achers, you Pride-of-America wusses, and other assorted sorry saps spent a minute fraction of the time spent whining on a little research, you would know to go to:UT Starcom which does the repairs for HTC. http://www.utstarcom.com/pcd/Feature.aspx http://handsets.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/handsets.cfg/php/enduser/home.php (800) 229-1235. 2 out of 6 found this valuable.

Try to contact HTC, waste your minutes and get nowhere. They basically said out of warranty (by only days) and you're out of luck. Nice. Buyer beware.

I bought my FIRST htc smartphone Feb 2009, actually bought 2, one for my college son. I replaced the first one when the charger connection failed, using my expensive insurance plan. That second phone was great....no glitches like the first one. Until, after 2 months, the text, keyboard screen failed. I had to send it into the actual HTC phone company...wait for 3 weeks...at their mercy...and have my phone back....none of my settings the same...and all the crappy glitches seem to now be in this phone....and guess what? After 3 weeks of barely texting...the keyboard is broken, AGAIN. This is a ridiculous inconvience...I am a business owner...I need the phone. Sprint doesn't care...they have their 2 year plan. I am so upset by the poor quality of this phone. I must include..I love the phone, otherwise...but it is not worth a dime...not worth what I paid for the 2 phones...not worth the service I want...not worth my hard earned money.

I dont understand why you all are having so much trouble with this phone. I have had it since the day it came out. I have treated it like **** and its been the most reliable phone i have ever had. I will definitely be getting another HTC phone in the future. My guess is that you tried to flash another OS onto the phone and bricked your phone. Thats not the manufactures fault, that yours for not finding out what version your phone is. Ill still be keeping this phone as a back up for years to come. Ive even ran the damn thing over muddin and it still works. I dont know how yall are havin so many issues.

Well, I think this is a very disturbing thread, frankly - So many people with such similar problems all across the range. Worse than this though, is HTC's attitude to post-sales service.I myself, have a Touch HD - I have had it 3 weeks, have a carry case and a screen protector and it is in perfect condition (for any tw@t who thinks about bringing anything like that up!) - First, the "Lock phone" function packs up completely, so I can't even take it anywhere for fear of accidentally dialling someone or logging on to a data connection. Then the dropdown icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen disappears altogether, meaning I can't even check which applications may be running at any time. Now the keyboard mode is jammed on compact qwerty, which I detest. I rang HTC in London, got someone who could barely speak English and wasted over an hour on the phone to be told he didn't have a clue what I was talking about - and no, I couldn't have a replacement unit. IT'S THREE WEEKS OLD FOR F*CK'S SAKE!!! I am taking this to trading standards, and mark my words, I most certainly WILL be following this one through to a satifactory conclusion. HTC do indeed suck, so it would seem. I certainly won't be buying another one. Do you find this valuable? |
