in the pass they use non ori parts for AP set since they can import the board n lcd only and put in non ori casing, battery charger n so on

does this still happen? especially for handset, phones are kinda hightech now like HTC HD2 which the price differ alot from ori to AP, dont think they import the board and lcd only and assemble here right?

how abt the accesories?

can i noe about the difference of ori and ap set of htc hd2? if buy ap set can still update its firmware?

What is the effect of government decision (from the budget 2011) of cancel the tax of mobile phone?
Does all the prices are lower now?

no effect. price still remain

hmm i wan ask......

example i wanna buy samsung hp
buying samsung HP ori from other ppl(not official store) is the same as samsung HP ori from samsung store ???
can i still send back to samsung store for repairing or updates????
the warranty same right??

lol

If this is true than this year after tax cancelled we all better not buy any phones until price revision is made! Can't wait to buy ori Desire HD @ RM1499

anyone know what is the original distributor in sarawak?

I go ask at a phone shop and he said sarawak nokia original sticker was not zitron or avaxx. The sticker there write Arista if i'm not wrong and he said this is the ori distributor in sarawak.

If go kl this nokia sticker still can claim warranty from nokia centre. I'm having doubt about this. Hmm...

AP sets do come with warranty cards like original warranty sets just that the warranty will not be original, in which the replacement parts will usually or most certainly will not be original. Try getting AP sets from err..... more 'reputable' AP distributors. They will usually have more service centers around the country. Can't say much about water sets but there is always a risk for not getting original sets.

Personally I have a grudge against AP sets and I'm gonna repeat it again coz it really p1ssed me off

I use to purchase AP sets (about 6 AP sets) only until I purchased a Nokia N82 warrantied by Telstra-AP (they have a service center in Lowyat plaza). It was my first Telstra set and service was horrible......
I paid them a visit to get my camera slider fixed. First they tried to cheat my $ by charging a 'dust' removal fee to clean up the dust accumulated in the phone over time for RM80 (i still had 13 months warranty). Then they told me that the WHOLE camera is spoilt and needs an IC replacement (wth? My camera works fine just that the slider mechanism has gone a little faulty. I've checked the schematics and its the slider which is causing the prob. Can't they just change the physical slider? )
Came back to collect my phone and noticed my phone's housing was scratched up and pry marks were visible on the edges of the phone. Technician said its normal procedure. The pry marks/scratches are inevitable
Walked off and noticed my screen contrast changed. Screen was pitch black (not even the clock is visible. It would usually be displayed) once phone is locked. Went back and inquire about this change and the technician admitted saying he BROKE MY LCD
Had to make another trip back the next day to get everything fixed again.

So in total, to fix a camera slider, it took me 2 days for 'dust 'removal', 1 housing replacement (probably not even original anymore), 1 LCD change (maybe they butchered my orignal LCD?), so called 'camera IC' replacement and full reformat to re-install the drivers for the new screen. Zzz........

Since then I've never purchased an AP set. Been using originals there after and I'd have to say that the original services which I have been offered are far more pleasant compared to Telstra.

I won't comment on other AP companies. Perhaps some of them are Angels in the business but NO to Telstra zomg

Gosh.. so bad service that you experince at there.. Thx for the info at least it make me aware of the choice that i gonna make. Actually i have ask 1 of the Hp stall at my house nearby shopping complex which he stated to me RM350 for a original set from midland (W395).. That's really far beyond cheap than all the stall that i have ask.. Even some offer me rm399 but it's a AP set.. would it that they try to cheat me Ap set for an original set? But he said it's midland.. really confusing..

Midland should be the authorized distributor if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps the other sellers were the ones trying to cheat u?

Try searching around the garage sales for reputable sellers. They should have the current/best prices around.
