hmmm, then how come people in forum selling this phone ori for 800+ whereas nokia center sells at 945 bucks??
any advice?

Nokia Store have to sell the phone at RRP. People in LYN are selling the phones at a price with a lower profit margin. That's all. Go to any phone shop and u may get phones cheaper than buying from Nokia Store

It's basically just the profit-margin. Just make sure what u purchase is Ori and not get cheated by sellers

which has warranty, which doesnt?

Both have warranty. AP sets are warrantied by AP company such as Comsat etc. They might provide 18 months or even longer warranty period but usually the warranty they provide excludes many parts such as LCD and other very important thing.
Original sets are warrantied by Nokia Malaysia. The 3 major original distributor would be Zitron, Avaxx & Arista. These distributor are incharge of QC of Nokia phones entering our country. Advantage of it is, your phone is quality-controlled and the warranty service offered by Nokia is by far the best compared to other brands. Nokia Care Centre will always try their best to fix your phone

I would strongly recommend you to buy original. Those extra bucks you pay is a lot more in worth when your phone faces even the slightest problem.
