QUOTE(youngkies @ Nov 26 2008, 10:39 PM) Continuation from Ori and AP set V1 by akina81 lg thorus ori or not??Information was last updated by Oct 2007 Original Set - Nokia authorized distributors are Zitron, Avaxx and i-Mobile. - Sony Ericsson authorized distributors are T-Choice, Grandtech, Midlands and Thorus. - First Mobile Group (FMG) is the main distributor of Samsung phones. - FMG is giving 18 months warranty. - Motorola authorized distributor are Satellite Technics, Zitron and MDM. - Siemens authorized distributors are Zitron and FMG. - Panasonic's authorized distributor is Zitron. - LG's authorized distributor is Zitron. - u can service your phone at any service centres (Nokia Professional Centre, Sony Ericsson Certified Service Centres...) - 1 year warranty for the full set including charger, battery, handsfree. - genuine parts are used for repairing. AP Set - Approval Products - mainly imported from oversea and sell it to the consumers. - AP set warranty by companies such as Final Choice, CSL, Nefion, Telstra, GTMax...etc - 1 year warranty for the phone and 1 month for the accessories like charger, battery, handsfree. - u must bring your phone back to the place u bought the phone for servicing. Water Set - Stolen / Brought in / Bought from oversea without paying tax also getting approval from SIRIM. Considered as Illegal. Mostly brought in by student studying oversea. - Phones can be brought in from oversea by anyone under household personal effect, which means they aer not for commercial purpose. But when they are brought in under that effect, but ended up for commercial purpose, then the phone is considered illegal to be sold, known as "waterset". Identify Original and AP Set - take out the phone case and battery. - original set comes with authorized company sticker (Zitron, Avaxx, T-Choice, Midland...) - AP set comes with AP company sticker (Final Choice...) - press *#06# to check the phone 15 digit serial number (IMEI). - compare it with the IMEI written on phone sticker (back of phone case) and package box sticker. - for original set, these serial numbers are the same.    |

If the box and phone different IMEI means they change your phone. If same is good as long as the warranty not by the above listed are AP.

For your info only malaysia have AP phones because our country tax us soo high and telco not willing give us some free phone plan. Ap phones mostly are taken from other countries free phone package and resell as full price in malaysia.
Ap means everything parts original just the warranty not from the authorized distributor. AP The pros - Its cheaper than ori set and warranty longer. If your phone neverver breaks down its worthy. The cons -Ap phones warranty are covered by local shop . if the parts is too expensive they will push blame or make it sound like your fault. The cost of repairs have to bare by their small shop when ori set is bare by the manufacuter. Pay less now future worry more ORI The pros - Its more expensive than AP set but u will have no worries they can replace any parts including casing for you because the cost are bare by manufactuer The cons - You pay more to worry less like they all say Pay more now future worry less This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Aug 31 2010, 12:47 PM |

QUOTE(astro85 @ Sep 2 2010, 01:18 PM) i buy ori be4... also got problem you are confuse nobody said original wont have problem mate. We are taking about the warranty procedure mate.Imagine AP u buy RM1000 lets say warranty 18months After 16months your motherboard spoil you send it for warranty. That time replace motherboard will cost like RM600 - RM700 maybe then the shop most come out this cost themselves. So do you think in business point of view 16months ago buy RM1000 now later must repair RM700 aka is it worthy for the shop. They can just create a story say it your fault den you cant get them responsible. AP is only their shop so your risk if it crash you face this issue is very very high. When original set warranty is by the manufacturer connected to their HQ's all around the world. |

I am looking forward to get myself a nokia 5800, so, i drop by 1 of the nokia authorised dealer at jusco maluri, and they quote me rm915...
after that, i look around mid valley, and saw another nokia authorised booth selling rm890. which this gives me an uncertainty of the phones' originality. after few more authorised dealer i went, i could get a quote of the phone ranging from rm810-930... and all of them giving me all sorts of different accesories, some say they have 4gb memory stick ... some say 8gb memory stick now i am confuse that how am i suppose to get an original nokia phones? and i am also afraid that if i would get a cheap one, they would have swapped my original battery with fake battery and so as fake chargers... so are there any ways to buy original phones in KL? and also what are the methods to define the phones whether are they original or not? |

Nokia store always sells at retail price. If u get from the outside seller u get a better price because they buy in bulks.
If u wan to be safe you can try to get from recommended seller in lyn like e-tradepj or x132755. Sometimes u buy from shop they give u a cheaper price but they switch the accessories or parts Refer here wat should be in the box http://www.nokia.com.my/find-product/all-p.../specifications if more is extra This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Sep 17 2010, 05:54 PM |
