Hi,

Sold my P800 about 1 week ago because I had lost all the accessories, and now I am about to purchase another one from someone for a VERY decent price (including accessories and an hbh-30 headset).

Can anyone suggest to me the most important things I should look for on the phone when I am examining it? At least what firmware revisions should the phone have on it? Could there be any problems that I could easily detect upon using it?

Any help would be very beneficial.

Check for scratches on the cover.

CHeck for the FF:

Sensitivity on the 4corner of the screen:
Check the Scroll buttons.
Check the Bluetooth (if possible) some are not working:
Scratches on the screen:
and for me the most important is that it was bought either from Globe, Smart, Semicon, or SE shops for the Future FREE Software Upgrade. I think they charge 1,500 or 900 for everytime you ask for an upgrade to an unregistered or black market phone.

Check if it's still under warranty and also check the Infrared port if it works fine.
