Cellular phones. I cannot order one without it being pre-broken for my convenience.

I have just received my spiffy AT&T Wireless-served Motorola V60t TDMA phone, which does not work out of the box. The packing slip recevied from the phone says that its phone number is one thing, and the phone appears to be programmed to think that my its phone number is something else, and that something starts with an area code of 000.

This mirrors my previous experience with Sprint PCS, who also gave me a phone that was broken and/or configured improperly.

I'm talking to the nice AT&T lady right now. We'll see how this goes. The Sprint Saga required multiple visits to the Sprint store.
