Hi all,

How to trace whether BB phone is ori or not? Any sticker, sign or tips to follow? do you have any experience when dealing with 2nd hand phone especially COD or by direct from another person?

I'm going to buy 2nd hand bold 9900 and I hope anyone here can help me here. thanks in advance.


#if the thread already exist, please guide me to the thread. Already check for the whole night yesterday and couldn't find any.

so, you want to buy 2nd hand Bold 9900 ...
is it fullset..??

anyway.. you can check the ORI Bold 9900 has brightstar sticker

look at picture below [note that it is not Bold 9900]





the original BOLD 9900 must have that brightstar sticker and come with warranty card[optional , ask whether the seller register it online or not]

Check for the Brightstar sticker or i-Samart sticker.

press alt+aA+h and check the Vendor ID
Blackberry 5 and 6 if Original from Brightstar the Vendor Id Should be : Vendor Id : 609

Blackberry 7 Vendor ID : 618

nice..that's other way to check it too..


remember that.. Vendor ID can be change and the sticker also can be faked , but well... dont worry too much about that..

Mine 618

quite hard to trace.
until the time u need to claim for warranty.

sticker can be fake.
shop can be fake.
receipt and warranty card oso can be fake.

yeah..

but to be safer , i suggest TS to COD at Brightstar Shop/Service Center..

Wisma Kemajuan, PJ is a good spot to COD..

before confirm the deal.. can check directly with the Brightstar staff..

good idea...

How ? i couldn't check

So that's the safest option to ensure it is the original set? Been thinking bout this too since there are a lot of fake sets now.

yes[brightstar original set]

i think.. that's the safest option.. just make sure u check with the brightstar staff first.. before make a deal..

where is this wisma kemajuan? thanks.

what phone do you use..?

just press and hold alt+aA+h at the same time..

the aA[shift] is on the left side

thanks.. yes it is fullset. come with box..


Thanks..

will try to do it.. if fake for sure they'll try to avoid me to do that

Thats why I try to get information as many as I can get before i buy it. the safest maybe buy at senheng..

haha.. if fake for sure they'll avoid to coming


Hi All,

Thanks for the reply and all are very informative. i' going to check the phone tomorrow. hopefully it is original set..
