Now this is weird, today I attempt to turn my phone on, nothing happens,
but I've got loads of contacts, music, some photos etc.
anyway I try something i tried last night( didn't work then), I plugged into
the charger this time without the sim ( in an old phone),
guess what , it showed the charging screen, with a virtually full battery.
So i\turned it on and was asked to insert a sim card or watch the demo.
Watched the demo- very slick, and then turned it off. Put in my sim and
turned it back on, success it now works.
I think the firmware for this model is very flakey, shame on you SE
for putting out a phone in this state. I'm going to leave the phone in
standby mode for a long as possible to see if the problem reoccurs.
I'm thinking to go ahead with the exchange anyway, just in case it's
intermittant fault with just my phone.
just in case anyone else is having the same problem as me.
