Got a Sony Ericsson W760i from Singtel plan last October 08, used it until December or so and got the first problem with hanging phone. Phone was sent to Wisma service center and software update was made.
Upon receiving the phone, I noticed that the battery no longer holds a charge longer than 6hrs compared to 2+ days previously before the upgrade.
Sent the phone back to repairs and they claimed to have replaced the motherboard. That was around April.
Almost immediately (same day) I noticed that the left side buttons (1, 4, 7, *, up, left) doesn't work. Sent it back to Wisma the next day.
Left the phone for 3 days and I was informed everything was fine and they replaced something else.
Went home and the phone worked for a few hours and the next day, the same problem happened. They collected the phone (again) and after a whole week, they replaced the "flex illumination assembly" and claimed that they have "MONITORED EXTENSIVELY" and the phone is OK.
They sent it back via courier and within 2 hrs of leaving the phone on stand-by, it AGAIN FAILS TO WORK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
They just REFUSE to replace the phone claiming that they have no policy against it even if IT'S UNDER WARRANTY.
Another repair was scheduled and they failed to send a courier this time despite making me wait at home for a whole day.
I personally brought it back to Wisma and left the phone last May 29. They said they'll replace the motherboard (AGAIN!) and it should be OK.
3 weeks have past and I NEVER RECEIVED AN UPDATE from them despite them having 3 of my contact numbers and emails.
I called their customer service and was told that they'll inform Wisma to give me a call, a week have past and NO PHONE CALLS WERE RETURNED!
June 30 (today), they claim to still not have any parts for the repair.
THE PHONE HAS BEEN WITH THEM FOR OVER 30DAYS. Overall, they had the phone longer than I had since purchase!
Their Email Support is absolutely USELESS, all they say is (verbatim)...
" Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Customer Support (Singapore).

That Nic Chee offers ZERO help.
The Wisma service staff named "Tan Kok Wah" offers no solution to the phone's problem either.
It's CLEARLY a lemon unit yet they refuse to acknowledge the fault.
Three emails to them, same reply on each one.
