lucky me..i join this forum and learn everthing before get k800i yesterday ..already check IMEI + battery + charger .. everthing same..all midland ..wnna redeem bluetoohth hopefully IXSUN open this monday..is it monday is public holiday?

R1GB001 is the latest firmware to date. i just updated my phone lastnight and charging doesn't have this problem.

I guess this is the disadvantage of buying an AP phone...

i bought an original one and its been 5 months, still no problem.

now i think to fully confirm this...
find someone who has a midland BST-33 950mAh battery and ask him to take pics.

remember, stickers can always be bought.
i'm sure ppl have seen the holographic original stickers before on pirated cds rite?

Yeah, you're absolutely right, those Tulen stickers can be duplicated, even those pirate cds from China has it. Well having a Midland sticker doesn't mean it's ori either because the sticker can be a fake or an inside job too. I'm trying to ask all members to share their pics of their ori battery so that we can compare here.

Anyway, one thing for sure, I've posted pictures of my BST-37 battery (from my mother's K610i) under the trade dispute helpdesk thread, also bought from Clareen this month before she went on her business trip in Japan, it's neither a Midland or AP battery either, you can see for yourself here, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/396662/+60 This one definitely take boleh lari one because it's 100% fake (you check the photos there and you'll know what I mean) but the BST-33 battery is still debateable but it's still not right for her or her supplier to give me a fake battery because AP here doesn't mean it's a fake, it just mean an ori set distributed by other parallel importers, right? Hai ........

battery C you sure you put correct?
BST-33? 770mAh?
say made in sweden, but i swear from that outline on the battery it says made in china.
if so, i say all 3 are fake.

Errr...... Made In China but Assembled In Sweden???
My original BST-15 battery for my P900i stated Made In Japan but Assembled in Sweden, that's an ori battery, 100% confirmed.

china also get SE kilang lo..xsmesti pirated..like adidas made in malaysia & indon..but still ori..cheap also~

i also updated to that firmware just now. No problems at all. But i was hoping that they reduce the lag when playing around with the menu.

sorry dude..mine is AP. But i would also want to identify if mine is ori or not. As far as i was told its original and after checking in the forum it does have the criteria of an ori batt

The ori battery is also made in China for your info, we're not saying it's a fake because it's made in China. We have experts here who can detectl ori, AP and fake batteries so don't play play.


Sounds like you're giving us a teka-teki test here. I guess who gets the right answer can immediately report for duty in KPDN HQ on Monday. They certainly need someone to sniff out fake batteries sold in Malaysia.

wait...i make it again...damn...must check properly this time

How about this BST-33, made in Japan, finished in Japan? Ori, AP or fake? Sorry, no prize given for the correct answer.

Midland set bought from PJ IT Mall on 24/12/2007

Unlike BST-37, notice that the silver wrapping isn't shinny as it is wraped with paper. Having doubt on it fragile build, so i took it to Ericserve, the receptionist tell me that this battery is genuine from midland.

By referring to the pics uploaded my battery exactly resembles Battery C. So which is the ori one?

ok Guys, Final Version is up now,

Tis time no more mistakes

Can someone point out which is AP/ ORI / FAKE?

why are there so many types of the same battery? different factory?

well, from that i guess only batt C is ori.
tho the two holes on top near the watermark sticker for batt C seems abit off.

and that one is a 950mAh, yet everyone else's 950mAh here look like AP ones.

ORI / AP / FAKE?

your ORI means it's Midland ?

Ori as in Ori.
and it is assumed that midland will bring in original, if not a complain can be made.

can even check with batteries sold in other countries or even ebay and see if its the same.

A=fake (notice the silver sticker that they assemble just too rough)
B=AP original
C=original midland
