ya lo...
Next time I have to state clearly when I sell my used phone in the thread, if not, later misunderstanding...

Then may I ask why its not the same? Box and phone didnt come from same factory or what? My guess is that the phone imported in bundled without box as AP and put into box which was from another different original box? Hmm, sounds so much similar with recon.

Normally AP phones come in bulk without accessories/box and apply for Approval Unit (AP) and must approved by sirim... And then they combine those AP phone back with local accessories that is why phone IMEI will be not same with box IMEI... That will be cheaper if they did that without need to buy whole box together (save cost)... That also depends which AP company, so far CSL provide AP IMEI same with box IMEI...

Yes it sound simliar RECON phones, so before u buy a new AP/Ori, pls refer post #14 by Seaedge... He have some tips for those who going to buy new phones...

-- ... from the facrory the box and the handset imei number is the same one ..

-- they bring in the handset .. and box seperately ..
-- you should know why they do that -lah ..
-- no need to mentioned so clearly -liao -mah ...

-- that's why the custom officer are lokking for this type of supplier -lah ... ....

thx for your info. xD

anyway to check for newly bought smasung f330 to see whether it's ori set and legal 1?

thanks for the tips...

Your tips are very useful..thx!

Went to lowyat yesterday and checked the price for V3xx. Some says 500, some says 550 with added accessories. Sumore, some shop even have to take the phone/buy the phone first from their supplier and didnt kept any stock with them. Is it ok? How come this kinda shop dont keep their stock? Is theres a possibility that this kind of shop sell recond set?

somehow, most shops din kep stock...buyer confirmed then only they go take from supplier...doing tis will not require them to stock many hp in their own store.

Thats why you need to find the cheapest price to avoid you being cheated from the expensive price.

As huakenny said....

They doing this kind of method just want to avoid a lot of stock at their shop.

guys, how do u check the info on SE pda fon? i mean pda fon dont have the analog to put in the left and right codes.
