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!

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.

The location is in Leeds centre, although being in St John's it is a little isolated and doesn't get the footfall which the main city centre and the likes of The Trinity does. The quotes here for trading in items seems rather generous, although for my phone I had been quoted higher from both Mazuma Mobile and Music Magpie, the quote I was given was much higher than any mobile phone networks recycle scheme and their nearest competitors, Game and CEX. The store was a little small, so the selection could have been better. There was a large selection of more older games and DVD's compared too new-ones. I don't like their website, it makes it rather difficult to set up an order and the database just doesn't work online, for example, if you searched for an iPhone it would come up starting with 3GS first, with around 20+ pages, and if you search the iPhone name and model exactly, it doesn't come up so this filtering system just isn't working and needs work, to improve the customer experience before coming into the store. With trade-in prices on average better than its closest rivals, yet not the best overall and a good store feel which is how a trade-in store should be, of course, it can improve based on making sure it is easier to get a quote, and perhaps the size of the store and location to a certain extent, it still is a slightly above average store in general and anything less than a three-star rating would surely be an insult for a store which I see high potential in to be upgraded in the future.

After all, the shop is called 'Rocking Mobile Phones and Accessories', and if you could rock out with your mobile phone this is where you would do it best. They also do mobile repairs, replacement batteries and any other general mobile-handyman style requests. A useful shop to know about, especially with such unreliable technologies as mobile phones.
