Diff between brand new n brand new recon?

Doest recon set use original body kit such as home button, screen etc

Hi again biggrin.gif . This 1 I'm not sure. I think recon set nvr renew the internal parts like motherboard and all that, they just renew the body. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am suppose to read the whole v1 thread but did not. Yeat read the 1st page of this ver. Now know what AP is. But those quotes were from '04,'05,'08 etc. Hope the AP sets are more reliable then before.

So, I was planning to Sony Xperia Acro S. I am a bit short on budget. For some 200rm is not a lot but for me it's a bid deal.

Now, I am looking forward to your opinion on whether I should buy the ACRO S ap or ori.

THNX IN ADVANCE smile.gif

AP sets are as reliable as ori sets, only difference is warrantied by AP company. I've heard of many bad reviews on AP warranty. So it depends whether u wanna take risk or not, if your AP phone no problem for 1-2 yrs then u untung la . laugh.gif

If you get AP set with some minor difference of quality from Ori set, does that mean we are conned?

And the accessories - some said there isn't guarantee that those accessories are the original in AP set. They get the box elsewhere (thus different IMEI), and then get the accessories else where too..?
*
Some people say nowadays AP phone also same IMEI with box. hmm.gif

QUOTE(jukoh @ Feb 2 2013, 08:52 PM)
My only concern is which reputable shop to get it from.  It would be good if anyone has bought AP sets recently could share the details of the shop they got it from, it'd make the thread more beneficial for everyone.
*
Highly agree with this.

Lets say I purchase an Apple iPhone 5 from HK (a friend help me buy from HK apple store) and drop-ship it into my friends house in Malaysia.

Is that considered Ori/AP/Water?
*
If got international Apple warranty then it's ori. If not then maybe AP. I think.

the best is call to their service centre or hotline

check the imei number and they will confirm the warranty validity

etc : HTC - if you dont have the receipt and the phone didnt register for warranty they will based on the shipping date that reach malaysia and start warranty on that date it self

Samsung - all phone now is registered when purchase from phone seller or shop (authorised personnel) and it goes back to the same rountine by calling and you can even check by sms for the warranty period from when to when.

As for other brand i just reckon to call the hotline and after the confirmation send them a email for them to reply in black and white so thats serves your warranty card.
*
For Samsung, some time back there were cases that the seller never register for them. Some say can claim using receipt if not registered, if no receipt and not registered they will go by shipping date. Not sure about now.

1) Different company got different quality of technician, I believe.

2) Yes, but need to pay.

3) From what I heard, yes but need to pay.
