Is that a common thing? Being able to send your device back to the manufacturer for user inflicted issues for repair?
I can't say I've ever done that with any product ever...
- indiv0 10y agoIn the article, the author says that other companies (Samsung, Apple) do support that, but for a fee. It seems reasonable to expect Google to also provide that service.
- Klathmon 10y agoI guess Apple is one example I've used before, so I take back my previous statement there. Still, I feel like that's a silly reason to advise people never buy the phone. Especially when they do provide an "insurance" policy with a "blessed 3rd party".
- r1ch 10y agoIt's quite common. HTC even advertise it as something you can do for free: http://www.htc.com/us/uh-oh-protection/ http://www.htc.com/us/uh-oh-protection/
- wilg 10y agoThey also advertise it as "hassel"-free, which is funny.
