Well after 12yrs, my Simpson Tucker Box deep freezer decided to pack it in today. Rest the well my good friend. You did keep the meat and icecream frozen at the right temperature and I shall miss you!
Now to go out and buy a replacement one that will probably break down within 12mths. They sure don't make stuff like they use too! ![]()

I have a HTC Incredible s, never let me down once and can do/customise so much more than iphone. Cheaper plan too. On topic, I bought a pair of splices from repco for like $13. Biggest heap of crap I've ever used. I tried to cut, and the holes didn't line up or fully touch, no joke how they sell those to people without feeling guilt is beyond me.

Before anyone says it. No its not because I come home overweight. I left here already overweight!!!

telstra ****T Hub
so frustrating to use, slow, non responsive, reboots when it feels like it, appaling battery life.....all these superb attributes built into 1 device...from Australia's largest corporation....OMG With their resources and budget you'd expect something more like an ipad not the POS that the T Hub is.

I can understand with TVs though, would you really want your TV to last 20+ years like the old ones with how fast technology is moving with everything TV these days.
Washing machines/dryers/fridges, no damn excuse. |

On topic: $3k Toshiba laptop replaced twice before I spat it and got money back, now using $400 Asus which is 2 years old and hasn't missed a beat - work supplied iPhone 4, replaced 3 times, now using my personal HTC with work sim - I've seen a few talk up Sony but I'll never buy another Sony product due to shart customer service after in warranty failures... Sharp convection microwave oven in my kitchen is 16yo and going strong - F&P smart drive washing machine that everyone said would last 5 years dies this year, 13yo - Gorenje Pacific fridge out the back is 22 years old and going strong...

My son has a toshiba laptop and after 3 months the motherboard died. Took it in and had it fixed and the guy at the tech counter said to me - I wouldn't have bought a toshiba laptop if you paid me too!
How's that for honesty! ![]()

Just thought of another one.
We bought new phone covers for our HTCs from one of those kiosks you see in major shopping centres. I got a "carbon fibre" one and my wife got a leather one with the front on it to protect the screen. Mine is still OK, my wife's phone holder snapped in the corners after about 3 days use and wouldn't hold the phone anymore.

Mrs has a Nokia N8, piece of junk it is. Slow, randomly freezes and won't turn off unless you remove the battery, and to remove the battery you need a tool that isn't included with the phone. Thanks Nokia. |

I think many of the old Email brands still have some models from Australia.

Bonds (Blue singlets) wife beaters from china. The aussie made one were tops. Didnt shrink. The collar (if youd call it that) wasnt too low...
The chinese ones are crap. Ive only bought a couple but they have shrunk and are no where near as good as the Aussie made ones |

Compaq presario laptop within 2 months the screen had failed. 5months later the fan controller failed... as well as the battery. Pretty poor quality me thinks!

I see alot of people saying Panasonic are a tried and true brand on this thread however I have had a bad experience with a 50" plasma I bought 2 years ago. Cost me $2500.00 and I didnt buy an extended warranty. Factory warranty=1 year. The power board failed emailed panasonic wanted me to spend $180.00 to send out a tech guy to write a report to tell them what they and I already knew. They also said they would pay to replace the part but not the labour under good faith but it would take two months in their workshop to repair it? Needless to say I told em where to shove it. Found a brand new power board the cheapest I could find $240.00 and replaced it myself. Works fine now.
Panasonic used to be good and still is if its still made in Japan. However they now make em in China or Korea and out source. Some stuff is still made in Japan still and that's the stuff you want to buy.

Bought Rare spares rear quarter rust replacement sections, They are crap and are not even close to fitting. Have some major bending and cutting to make em fit.
