my box still says its the 1st batch...and I checked the IMEI, it was made in the Emirates
Type * # 06 #
After you enter the code you will see a new code contain 15 digits:
43 4 5 6 6 1 0 6 7 8 9 4 3 5
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 02 or 20 that mean it was assembled in the Emirates which is very Bad quality :~ (
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 08 or 80 that mean its manufactured in Germany which is not bad
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 01 or 10 that mean its manufactured in Finland which is Good
IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 00 that mean its manufactured in France which is the best Mobile Quality .... :~)
don't know the trueness of this tho =)
