Good Day!
I'm new here at Esato, though I've come across the site for sometime now.
Currently I'm using T68i, and I'm really interested in buying P910 but I'm not sure at what shop to buy it from.
I already thought of buying it at an SE Shop in SM North, but after reading posts Re: Warranty issue & P910 issue at SESS in Glorietta 3 (posted by jplacson on Oct 17, 2004 under the topic: Sony Ericsson to open Concept Shops (PH), page 3), it made me think twice. Buying an SE phone from an authorized dealer (not SE shop), and yet SE won't recognize it, I think it is absurd.
Any suggestions where I can buy the phone; SE Shop, Semicon, MemoExpress? Where warranty and services won't be an issue.
Thank you! |

as long as the phone is a 'semicon' or 'wintelcom' unit, warranty will not be a problem and should be accepted by authorized service centers.
ask the store where you buy it about whose warranty it carries because semicon and wintelcom distribute their phones thru other stores too, like mobile one, hello telecom, etc. |

Thank you for your fast reply. Hope you don't mind answering some more q's.
1. is there a way of knowing if the unit is from "semicon" or "wintelcom"?
2. is there any difference between "semicon" and "wintelcom" units?
3. you did not mention, SE Shops... who carries their warranty?
4. at what shop do recommend me buying, or might as well ask you directly, where do you buy your phones?.... if you don't mind.
sorry for asking, this is the first time i wil be purchasing a phone from a shop, usually get my phones from network promos and the US.

1. remove the battery cover and you will find either a semicon or wintelcom sticker
2. only difference is price. wintelcom is usually cheaper than semicon if you buy directly from their stores. but for sub-dealers, its really up to the sub how he wants to price it.
3. never bought from an SE shop
4. i've bought from semicon, hello telecom, and mobile one. usually depends on who has what i want in stock at the time. if you plan to charge it on your credit card, mobile one does not have a surcharge for card payments.
good luck! |

Semicon sells Nokia and SE fones and accessories, but a bit expensive mate, though - warrantied! I frequent one of it's shops near my place (8066922) . . . better get your fone there pal! |

im an official semicon, wintelcom, brightpoint retailer..
i have P910i available...
ask around- pinoy chit chat for feedback
btw.. the SE shop in glorietta 3 is OWNED and operated by MEMO EXPRESS (actually nokia, se, motorala and siemens shops are owned by memo express)
service is handled by SESS (same as the one from hererra before); so if u dont like SESS, there's always Smartnet and Semicon to handle your needs
re jplacson's post.. there might be just a misunderstanding

@619 - Having read your last post mate, you mean to say that Memo Express is bigger than Semicon (company), considering the other stores it carries (perhaps under the Memo Express affiliation as well)  Thanks! |

@619
if SE shops are owned @ operated by MemoExpress and the service is handled by SESS, does this mean that phones bought at these shops will not be covered of warranty for sevice if brought to a Semicon Service Center?
And based on the posts, seems like Semicon is better than SE shops with regards to product knowledge and costumer service. Do you all agree?
thanks! |

@jordan 18 - I do manage to have my fones then repaired at both Semicon and Memo Express . . . Semicon, has good staff and technical team - very uniform! Memo Express lacks an appeal - store presentation wise . . . Though what I really liked with it is that, they will fix your fone right in front of you  Whereas in Semicon, you'll have to wait for an hour or so, to have it remedied! |

doesn't matter where you buy it, as long as it has a semicon or wintelcom sticker, pretty much any authorized service center will handle it.
now speaking of service centers, i buy my phones all over the place but the only place i have it serviced is smartnet. best customer service and technical expertise, at least in my experience. never had a problem with them, unlike my and a lot of other people's bad service experiences with semicon.
the only time i would bring it to semicon is if the problem is so serious that the phone needs to be replaced. fortunately, i have never had any serious problem with any ericsson or sony ericsson phone yet.
i've tried semicon, SESS and smartnet. |

ANY SE PHONES bought from semicon, wintelcom, globe, smart, sun SHOULD be covered by warranty... so semicon, SESS, smartnet will honor it EXCEPT if your unit is tampered.
semicon, wintelcom, globe, smart, sun are the ones importing phones.. globe, smart, sun- they only get their phones from semicon and wintelcom if foreign suppliers dont have stocks to give.
memo express doesnt import phones, but they buy from semicon (LG, nokia, SE) wintelcom (SE, siemens, xda, treo) brightpoint (motorola, nokia, panasonic)
the concept shops in G3 are owned by memo express... go and ask the staffs.
