i used to work for a mobile fone company as a customer service advisor..
most days were quite eventful one way or another, with strange people ringing up with their phone queries, a couple as below:
customer: i cant afford my mobile fone
me: would u like me to take a look at your tariff for you?
customer: no its the fone thats expensive!!
me: i dont understand?
Customer: i've had to replace the battery 3 times since i've had it!
me: that doesnt sound good, you've only had it a month, have you been charging it properly?
customer: charging it????
me: yes it came with a battery charger??
customer: oh crap! (hangs up fone!)
** turns out customer had been replacing the battery instead of charging it! - doh!!! **
2nd customer(with very thick northern accent):
customer: I got kicked by a cow
me: excuse me? sorry?
customer: i was kicked by cow, now i need new fone!
me: "laughing"
customer: seriously- i got kicked by cow, fone was in my pocket, fone is broke!
hehe, still laugh at that one!

Indeed
Perhaps this reveals a little something about the source of some problems encountered by people using the 'fones'.
