some of those "recon" units are also stolen phones.

[arnoldsa]

Actually ang Contacts was from a foreign country coz ang numbers ug ang mga names lahi (maypagka European)....

Sa Galleon Enterprises man tu nako napalit...

I think guba tu siya nga unit nga gi dispose sa owner unya gi ayo... Finland pod tu siya nga unit... Mao bitaw recon kay gi reconditioned..parehas sa abroad nga uso kaayo ang mga secondhand PDAs nga ibaligya tapos i refurbished... hehehehe... pero lig-on baya, it fell so many times pero gamit gihapon kaayo..

Additional Guide:

- Make sure you are getting the right product. Some units have the same model number but intended for different networks. What this means is that you get less signal or no signal in many places where other dualband (900/1800) or triband(900/1800/1900) phones have signal. Example: product code RH-12 and RH-28. both are 6230 and both are triband, but what you may not know is that RH-28 functions as a single band 1800mhz gsm in the philippines. it doesnt have 900mhz band. only 850/1800/1900. many shops dont know this difference actually exist. many shops purchase this type from suppliers thinking its the same and cut cost coz its cheaper. to the naked eye its identical to the RH-12 and it does work here in the philippines, kaya lang expect drop signal and such specially if ur using smart and globe. variants for 3100, 3200, and many more nokia and other brands exist out there. ingatz nalang when buying

[gsirk]

thnx for the tips
im planning to buy Se p910i any tips are greatly appreciated

[rey04]

informative!!!!!!

[markyap]

thanks...ur most welcome!

gsirk: sometimes prices that are too good to be true are most of the time too good to be true.
always get from a trusted source

a source that when you need support for ur unit, there is that place or someone you can go to without any problems. the hardest part in support is knowing who or where to go. getting it from someone who has a permanent location/shop/store is always ideal and knowing someone there that knows what he/she is doing is always a big plus...

[rey04]

nokia parin #1 hands down when it comes to support...
SE would be a far second and samsung would be a close third

if i was to rate them 1 to 10 where nokia would be 10.
SE would be 7 and samsung would be 6.
