iman 15 | 39 16 Oct 2008 / #1Hi everyone,I have a quick question. I have been trying to buy a phone (with answering machine) in Warsaw, but was told by everyone (at Saturn etc) that the manuals all come in Polish. I was wondering how I could get a phone instrument for which the manual is in english, so that it easier for us to set up.If anyone has any ideas please let me know.Thank You!
gtd 3 | 639 16 Oct 2008 / #5If that is mandated it isn't followed. Most things I have purchased have at best PL, EST, LT, LV and CZ.
OP iman 15 | 39 16 Oct 2008 / #6Agree with gtd about language options! And this was told to me by all the agents in the electronic shops that i will not be able to get manuals in english anywhere!Was going to try amazon, but UK Polska gave a great tip!Thank You!
Krakowianka 1 | 243 16 Oct 2008 / #7Did you go into an Orange salon? check out what phones they have, they will 99% have an english manual included. you can either try getting the same phone elsewhere cheaper, or of course, Ebay is your friend
gtd 3 | 639 16 Oct 2008 / #8Not the Orange salons in Warsaw. At least not the ones in the center. People think there is way more English info available here than there really is. I am noticing more and more young people who don't speak English at all too compared to a few years back. Could just be my perception but I have noticed this.I'd also not buy electronics other than at a reputable shop as warranties and such won't be honored or valid at KDW or ebay etc. I know from experience.
Krakowianka 1 | 243 16 Oct 2008 / #9Well if you check out the prices of electronics in reputable stores w/waranties, to say the prices on ebay, there is a dramatic price difference. Sometimes 2 or 3 times the difference.Personally, i'd buy a new piece online with the manual in English, and on ebay to save. I got a philips phone for $50usd, the same one in Orange salon was well over $120 after currency exchange conversion.I still can't believe in downtown Warsaw for the Orange salon not to have manuals in english, just weird
gtd 3 | 639 16 Oct 2008 / #10Yeah prices are for sure better on Allegro or ebay...but I dont trust the sellers. Too many scams and fake products being sold. On ebay you can try to get a resolution if there is a problem but it is hit and miss...on Allegro forget it. I will pay more to have a legit item and safe warranty.The prices in shops here ARE robbery and I only purchase what I have to here. I save important purchases for when I am out of Poland.
Harry 17 Oct 2008 / #11Don't bother with Allegro, use ceneo.pl (it's a price comparison site).A good place to look for manuals is amazon.co.uk. The information about a product often contains a link to a pdf file with the English instructions.
