Really focussing on the '90s-cool spelling of 'phone', this place really is one of the busiest shop…read morefronts I have encountered in a long time. With flashing lights to entice passers by, Fone Zone rather reminded me of what the Gadget Shop used to do to me. The use of flashin LEDs is clearly something that really reaches out to me, for some reason. I had to take a closer look. Whether their business methods are legit or not, I'm not questioning, but they sell mobile phones, offer unlocking services, sell chargers and bluetooth hands-free headsets, memory cards for your digital camera, and last but by no means least, FASCIAS! This made me smile, as I found myself drifting back to having my first Nokia, thinking it cool to whack a luminous tacky plastic cover on it to express my individuality! Fone Zone is a great thing to have. If you do end up ever needing your phone unlocked, just to know where your local 'phone unlocker' is, I deem, very useful!

And at a fraction of the cost of a new phone it is well worth it! Unless of course you are the type who prizes above all else the fact that they always have the newest, flashiest, top of the range paper thin gleaming device (that can no longer really be called a 'phone') complete with interplanetary messenger service and pop up teleportation booth and pimped to the max with cute little accessories and cocooned in a protective case. In which case you may also fancy a jaunt down to The Phone Clinic where you can pick up a range of phone makeover accessories that will ensure that your baby doesn't resemble anyone else's (unless they've been down to Phone Clinic or similar and plumped for the same glittery pink phone case)!

What I tend to find is that the owners of these shops are actually very friendly indeed, and furthermore, know what they're doing! How they learned their skills is best unanswred, but nevertheless, for cheap accessories that don;t cost the earth, as they tend to from phone shops, Phone Clinic is your best bet. Just look out for the quality of some of the items, as they might not be top notch.

This branch of Samsung is a "Samsung Experience Store" and it is located in Leeds city centre on…read moreBriggate, on the topic of Samsung Experience stores, these stores are different to other Samsung stores as they tend to showcase the latest and larger selections of Samsung technology, including exclusives. The only other time I visited a Samsung Experience Store was back in the Summer of this year, where I visited a branch which was laid out fairly similar to this one, yet slightly larger in Newcastle Upon-Tyne. Moving back to this branch in question - it is in a good location located on Briggate, perhaps not as central or easy to find as the Apple Store which is located in Leeds Trinity, but the store is still in a decent central location and easy enough to find. The staff in this store didn't stand out as much as other stores, for example at the Samsung branch mentioned earlier in Newcastle, or most Apple stores in general. The store seemed to have a good, yet not fantastic range of product, and there wasn't a huge amount of detail about the products, such as by saying why the product is special, its USP and what it can do that other device can't etc, there wasn't even a really obvious way of displaying the name or prices of the devices throughout the store. The selection of products on show, as mentioned was decent, but it was merely satisfactory. The store layout was average yet again, it was similar to other Samsung Experience Store branches such as Newcastle as mentioned, yet different to both branches in Manchester. A two-star rating as this store is decent and in a good location but to many points hit the boxes of average, rather than above average or even fantastic to warrant a higher rating, which is of course a shame.

Ended up purchasing a phone that was far from suitable and did not meet my needs at all. Was in a bit of a tizz and was considerably lighter in the pocket to say the least... I went into Briggate CPW store and spent a considerable amount of time having "phone counselling" with Tim, he was very helpful well informed and patient with me and nothing was too much trouble. I left the store far better informed and with an action plan to solve my problems) A couple of days later after getting no further with my issue, there was a further development and I called into the store again. As Tim was not available, I was assisted by Luke. I found Luke to be understanding, helpful and supportive and he was really helpful. As it appears I had been mis-sold a phone by the first CPW store, Luke and his Manager agreed to allow me to return the phone. Really impressed with Briggate store and found Customer service to be at it's finest on both of my visits. Have previously kind of avoided CPW as it always seems so full of happening young cool guys and that's just the staff) Would fully recommend the Team here to all and especially Tim and Luke, well done Guys!

On arriving home, I checked the receipt of goods ticket with both amounts totalling £0.00. I can only assume that the store have decided that I don't deserve the money for the items I sold. Should have sold on eBay. EDIT: further to the response from Cex. Both phones were immediately priced with the HTC U11 being labelled at £82.00 and put straight on the shelf for sale. I was told I would receive £46.50 for both phones. £5.00 was deducted per phone to add a charging lead. As I haven't received a penny for the phones, technically I still own them. I'll let any reader of this review draw their own conclusions re the ramifications of such actions.
