I dont know what is like in other countries but here in serbia people from mobile shops almost allways lie about phones they are selling. Almost every phone in mobile shop is allready used and they sell it like it is new,for the price of new one. And buyers dont realize that. Thats really unfair.

Yes,but not everybody has a connection in mob shop. For example,i havent found new phone in the city where i go to school,i had to go to a city 60km away,and even there i had to check 5-6 different shops to find a new one. What about other countries,guys? Is there something like here in serbia?

Well, here they have to present you with a sealed box that they may open but only in front of the buyer. No econd hand phones on first buy. What you get when you need a replacement unit is a whole other story though

When i bought my first t68i the bluetooth wasnt working right so i took the phone back to the shop and told them what was wrong with it. They didnt even know what the bluetooth is!?! So i searched in few shops kilometers away from the first shop and i managed to get a new phone, sealed in original green SE box. In one shop one girl showed me "new" t68i and the phone had 34 HOURS OF CONVERSATION!!! 34!! And the girl in the shop thought that the phone was new. Terrible :-l

When i brought my first t68i back for replacement i told them bt wasnt working i got the answer:" Yes.... Right.... I see.... And where is that thing which is not working?....." And in that 2nd store when i showed talk time to that lady i went out of the store and she just stood there watching in the phone. Experts...

Here in Manila, you don't just buy at any 'makeshift' fone shops, like the one in Greenhills (San Juan City), Metropolis, (Muntinlupa City), Telecom Center (Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa) etc. etc. For me, there are only two shops which has 100% honest-to-goodness reputation, and these are Semicon and Wellcom !
