Hi,

I recently bought a w800i of a seller called fatmui of ebay and i dont know if its orignal. The plastic bit near the keypad is more cream coloured than white and the joystick dont fit properly. Also the buttons dont work proplerly eitther. Is this genuine?

well, as i see its original. pls notice, that "live" the white front cover is a bit more yellow. otherwise its a damn good copy of the original one. how does it feel in your hands?

aha, so its a flashed k750i. so maybe the bug happened at replacing the cover... hm... visit the "thread for uk users" in the regional section, try to find an "expert" in your near or go to here, read the first post:

and contact the erimans in the uk ( we are here officially for /// support, but maybe they can help u ). good luck!
