Pffft, I just emailed Expert Infotech asking whether their phones come with a one year warranty and got this in reply:
"Yes the phone comes with 1 year warranty. Its an imported item.It comes with 1 year warranty by Manufacturer Overseas, we will take care of its warranty for 1 year."
Lol, I'm sorry but I just can't give my money to a company that can't punctuate properly. Also, it doesn't sound very good to say "It comes with 1 year warranty by Manufacturer Overseas, we will take care of its warranty for 1 year."
It makes them sound like scammers, so screw that! Even if they are trustworthy, I'm not going to risk it.

I have bought computer components from them for good prices and had them turn up on time as expected so all good in that respect?
What are your main concerns with buying a phone from them? Apart from the warranty... On that note I believe that if you did run into problems with them you can always turn to Sony Ericsson themselves who will be able to exert force if necessary to a reseller of their product

True. But carkitter did visit them and they seemed a little dodgy. They are one of several phone sellers I'm looking at so they just sit at the bottom for now. I don't particularly trust importers too much anyway. I guess I'm being cautious.

@M-O
I paid EI a visit about 10 days ago and they were very busy! They had 20 non-functioning display phones this time and were very friendly when I made my enquiries, so things have improved. Thier store decor still looks temporary, but I'd be more inclined to purchase from them since this visit.

Nice concept and the headings look great, but I'm not a fan of that green. Way too bright. What about some two-tone shading like SE uses on their website, or some silver on black, or one of frank's FDR photos as a background?

Ok thanks fellas, maybe my screen isn't showing it correctly. I'll tone the green down a bit!
And carkitter, I haven't learned how to put in a background image in using html yet, so maybe i can do that when i find out how!

Well, you'll be well ahead of me when you do!
I'm still trying to work out where the alternative symbols are on my keyboard, you know, the pound stirling symbol, Euro symbol and other non US-english symbols

Haha, I don't know how to do those either. I don't particularly need them anyway so I'm not bothered!
By the way, is the green looking a bit more subtle now?
Oh and frankthetank, if you do have a nice New Zealand based image from your HDR experimenting that you'd like to have on the front page of this thread as a background, I think that would be a really cool idea.

The trouble is I don't know if the HDR software works on k850i..... I could aask the sheep if they'll hold still for a bit while I take a few exposures manually lol
Yes yes you heard right, Noel Leemings came to the Party after the Vodafone scum refused to give me the time of day when they saw my parallel imported phone and tried downselling me a k770i (Which I decided I don't like - too skinny/LED flash and the M2 card is limited to 2GB) So: I strolled in to Noels, who despite having k800i in stock made the most of the insurance sale and upsold the k850i
It should be here Friday or so...
