sceadugenga Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Check the box and book, bad printing is the usual sign of a fake. I can't say otherwise, maybe Nokia are made under contract in China and someone ran off an extra couple of million while the boss wasn't looking. Still, think of the years of guilt living with the knowledge you'd ripped of such a respected company. Edited July 19, 2007 by sceadugenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOzark Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Nope. Don't trust Tachelik for something like that. It's a huge distribution point for fake Chinese products. If the price is too low, for sure its a fake. The Chinese are excellent at this. They also make motherboards for computers, watches, etc. The products work when you buy them, they just use cheap components that will fail after a few months. And that's no idle warning.

At least 7 of them so far ! I've been using the same Ericsson for five years now. I've bought 2 new phones because I thought it was time to, used them for a couple of weeks, put the card in the old Eric and given them away. It just keeps on keeping on.
