    so dont sell them on ebay. local used books stores buy for $0.50(cash) to $1(store credit). If you bought them used in the first place for $3 then its not a bad return.

    I don't care if the thing prints money while giving me blowjobs- if it doesn't make calls reliably

    IDK. I think I could live with a few dropped calls if it printed me money and gave me "on demand" blowjobs... hell, it'd be rather "pimp" of it.

    The expectations of data QoS are much lower than voice QoS (unless of course your VoIP), especially on a mobile phone. You ARENT going to be downloading a large file on a cell phone unless you are doing it over a 'corporate' account. And even so, you implicitly understand that cellular data is subject to problems. In the case of voice tolerance from a low QoS is very low. When people are talking to each other, they expect to have 100% up-time. ANY dropped calls are unacceptable.
