During the past year my husband and I subscribed to Verizon, and I got one of the nifty little camera phones. After taking a few pictures I knew that I might want to save some of those to my hard drive. So, I went back to the Verizon store and asked how to do this and what I needed in order to do this. I was told that I would need the "mobile office kit". They did not have this in stock, but they offered to order it for me. I did this at a price tag of $65. Now, I'm not the type of person to open my toys and play with them as soon as I get them. I like to "wait" until I am ready. So, after a couple of months I decided to try downloading some pics from the phone. I opened the "mobile office kit" and discovered that this item had nothing to do with saving pictures from my cell phone to the hard drive. So, back to the Verizon store. Well, after 15 days you can't return anything. Am I pissed? Am I screwed? Did the employees mislead me by idiocy or just laziness in not knowing the merchandise? So, I'm stuck with this $65 piece of crap I don't need and won't use. And Verizon? Well........I guess I should have had the employee demonstrate the product for me when I picked it up. Actually, that never occurred to me. I thought I could read the instructions when I got around to it.......... So, if someone gets their jollies by making a couple of bucks off Wal-mart, I'm not going to condemn them.
