It's called a Huawei (pronounced "hwah-way") Ascend Mate 2. Took it out of the box and immediately started customizing. Oppo's not really a tech place, so if you're interested, there's a bit more detail !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

It's called a Huawei Ascend Mate 2.

So that's why people all buy iPhones. It's easier to say.

Ascend Mate sounds something like Australian Jesus would say.

used to work Alltel customer service. "What kind of phone is it?" "It says.. hoo wah ee ... Hawaii?" Or "kee I roe seria" (Kyocera)

And just for kicks "ok I need you to take the battery out" "ok" *click*

That's so weird. The window button and the back button are in the opposite spots as they are on my phone. That would take some getting used to. Also, dat booty.

I think this is the "standard" now. The Nexus 5 is lined up the same way too.

It literally happened at least 2 dozen times in less than 6 months. My first call as a rep on my own "I'm getting a lot of echo feedback do you have me on speaker phone?" "Nah I'm in the bathroom taking a shit" yeah, it was bathroom echo.

But I have dozens of them. I should write a book.

That's hilarious. And yes you should do something about it!

Someone posted this on Oppo a while back. It's called " Tales of IT " and there's 2 parts, second part is here . It's freaking hilarious, check it out if/when you've got free time.

I've read that exact one and so much is true to happen for so many sys admins , help desk workers, hell even NOC workers - you know it's the worst when it's coming from internal.

Funny because apparently those posts were all fake. :(

it'd be easier to compile a ridiculous story from a collection of "did you really just say/do that?" experiences. I [unfortunately] spent 3.5 years as a sales rep for Verizon. Those experiences on top of those from Alltel could create a pretty interesting story.
