Is it that high chance that a brand new phone will spoil within a year to claim the warranty?

After the 1 year warranty expires, Ori set become the same as AP set anyway.
*
not high chances to spoil, but original set is safer smile.gif

there are 1 year, 2yrs, 18 months warranty and so on for original phone,

you also can add the warranty period for some brand.

ORI set won't become same as AP set in term of price, second hand value, accesories, etc..

I'm confused...

1. Are the AP phones manufactured by their respective brand's factories as well?

2. If yes, why aren't the IMEI on phone and on box the same?

3. Can an AP SE gingerbread phone upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich as like how the original set do?

4. If a phone comes with some software, does an AP set comes with it as well? Any future update?

I'm buying phone in 2 days. need urgent help. Thanks in advance!
*
1. YES

2. It is because maybe the seller or dealer that change it... , some of them just purchase the phone because they have the box. Purchasing the phone only is cheaper then purchasing with the set[with box].. , but actually not all AP set has different box... nowadays AP set also have same original box wink.gif

3. If the phone is confirmed to get the update, you can update it... it is not a issue

4. The software is depend on the region where the set comes from, For example , Blackberry 9700 T-mobile has free gps navigation[with voice guided] App , but the original set of 9700 dont have it.. but basically all phone regardless it is AP or ORI can get future update if the update is applicable to all version and region..

what is the difference between singapore set? got one deal which is very suspecious to me. selling lg optimus 2x at rm900, and its singapore set. do u think is the real deal? 900 for optimus 2x  hmm.gif
*
if you can trust the seller , that's okay..


for me it is still an AP set , you need to claim the warranty from Singapore though..

Optimus 2X for RM 900 , its okay.. since the new set ORI here around RM 1.25k only..

second hand for RM 900 , quite okay.. not so cheap..

singapore set is a singapore set.. no different...just make sure it is UNLOCKED set.. biggrin.gif

Hi guys, can u explain wat is SME warranty?? If let say buying SG Note / SG Nexus S, is it only digi and celcom doing the bundle, whc 1 do u guys think i should go to? And how much is the market price for the phone without Package?

Was wondering not to tide on their contract and go for the U28 date+free calls/sms,coz i have another phone to spare. If in this case, whc shop should i purchase from if in KL city and penang?

Thanks a lot guys!!! And happy new year!!

SME is Samsung Malaysia Electronics ,

means that SME warranty is the warranty by Samsung Malaysia Electronics ,
market price for,
SG Note - RM 2170 ORI
S Google Nexus S - RM 1040 ORI
S Galaxy Nexus - RM 2120 ORI

since u want to use Umobile U28 package , don't need to get the celcom/digi package ...

just buy the phone without package..

KL or Penang , I dunno ..

but I know one in Subang Jaya --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1379883

hi..i wanna noe.wat the advantages buying an ori set than ap set?
*
there are many advantages , have u read the posts in this thread ?? hmm.gif

1. You will get official warranty from the phone company itself , for example if Blackberry, you will get official warranty from Brightstar, Celcom[Telco Set] , Brightpoint, i- Samart, Maxis[Telco Set], Umobile[Telco Set], Digi [ Telco Set] , if Nokia.. can go to Nokia Care Center and claim official warranty, when you claim there... if got replacement of the whole or part of the phone.. I can assure you, they use original parts and they can even give you replacement..

For example, Celcom Cube just replaced my faulty 9860 which distributed by i-Samart'[ and also warranty by i-Samart, claimed at Celcom Cube] .. it is an original phone


but if the warranty from AP company, can they even give you replacement phone..?? I doubt so..
Or, if they repaired your phone... and make the replacement of the part of the phone.. did they use the original part or just gred A part ..? for example, the keypad button of the phone...,


2. When you buy original phone, you will get the full official accessories such as charger, headphones and it is official accessories for Malaysia region.. If you buy the AP set, probably that AP set comes from oversea [most of them is oversea set.. some of them is local set though] , so, when comes from oversea, for example US.. they use different charger PIN.. then.. the shop will just give you the non original charger[which compatible] to you..
but of course, if AP set.. and it comes from the oversea carriers set, probably, they are extra accessories/free gift you may get, such as applications, games, coupon etc..

3. The original set will have Malaysia product code, or even the South East Asia product code.., you will get English Language , Chinese, Indon, and probably Malay too.. and that product code is important for some reason especially for advanced user..

4. The original set is sure compatible to our country and confirmed can be used in our country without any problem..

while if the AP set, especially those that comes from oversea, they might not compatible to our country.. they may have 4G connection[T mobile BB 9810 has it] which is different from our set... and yes it is an advantage.. but some of them also may have different GSM band such as Tmobile Storm 9550 which cannot use 2G connection properly in our country..



actually there are many other advantages.. the above is just 4 of important advantages..
