water set = hp smuggled from other countries without paying tax. usually these hp is not officially launch in our country.
AP set = hp distributed by smaller companies in Malaysia, such as Final Choice.
compatible battery is safe to use.

T-Choice is the authorized distributor for Sony Ericsson.
if u buy T-Choice set, u get free firmware upgrade and repair service within the warranty period.

Got 1 question here.. hope this problem can be solved.. It happens even though I have set the language to English
1. I bought a Samsung e700 AP set, is there anyway I can change the day of the week that appears in chinese characters?
2. The Wap surfing manual is in French.. Anyway to change this?

The shop I purchased the phone from says that there is no way of upgrading the firmware to rectify these problems.. Why is it like this? I thought every phone is able to upgrade the firmware..

Waterset no need to pay tax. AP set is known as approval product, in the other hand, waterset don't have SIRIM approval.

1. Yes, the language is set in English, but only the day (eg: Mon, Tue, Wed) is still in chinese..

2. I meant the Wap menu on the phone is in French, although the language is set in English

Sounds very suspicious and wierd the shop said that the firmware cannot be updated even though it is AP set with warranty. I am thinking that it could be water set, only difference is it has warranty. The 'AP' service centre is in Low Yat

AP set is approved products. usually its taken in from other countries which is much more cheaper than the local authorized set.
