may to july..wow..so long lerrrr! hehehe :>

neway just to add on..

AP sets has different level of QC. (big ap fellas like F.Choice/GTMAX/Nefion/Telstra/OConnors) have extensive QC checks.

Others like MSL/YS/PLANTRONICS or names not mentioned above, are slightly cheaper than the above....whether they replaced their parts with other stuff..its another question.

U dont see much different in nokias BUT for samsung it is .. 6 months diffference in warranty...imagine lcd damage after 1 year (for AP) ..

not only ST , zitron carries certain models of moto's.

as for original , IT is original from MOTOROLA. but the question u should ask is ,is it from ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTOR hope this helps.

as long as its not ST or ZITRON/AVAXX , its AP.

AP = Telstra, F.choice, GTMAx. other than this, cannot guarantee is brand new..
