rare ra kaayo na bai...99.9% of the time those they call recon are actually fake units these days...maybe 5-6 years ago naa pay mga 5110/6150 na recon gyud na recon, but today they are all almost certainly fake

btw, new update sa check list...nakulagan ug isa ka important note:

- IMEI on box matches IMEI on phone (*#06#) and the IMEI on the phones sticker(battery compartment)

ALL 3 SHOULD MATCH

ginamit pa gyud na recon hehehe...malasa gud...
nagamit man kaha gyapon? anyways, thats always the risk from buying recon/fake products...quality is never in par with the orig.

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

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
