You could very well have the same, or similar, experience with any of
the wireless carriers. The contract is really for service, not the
phone. Sometimes we have to accept that, as consumers, we make bad
choices as to the equipment we decide to buy. You could replace the
phone with one that works, stay on the account, and sue them in small
claims court over the defective equipment (as opposed to the wireless
service).
