Watch Out For Fake Nokias & Co by netotse(m): 4:16am On Aug 25, 2007 |
Abeg u guys should be careful o! its as if d chinese ppl r vexing, like 3 ppl in my office have bought this fake N99 it isn't a nokia phone but has nokia N99 on it and i've noticed phones like that are becoming increasingly common here's how u can tell 1.they usually have a name other than nokia on the box(one had a windows mobile logo on the phone shown on the box) 2.when u plug them into a pc it shows some funny nos. and letters as the device name(they usually telll u the chip the fake nokia was based on) 3.they come with two batteries(nokia isn't that generous) 4.the nokia codes dont work (esp. *#0000#) 5.the finishing is somewhat inferior 6.there's usually a lot of chinese writing on d boxes 7.the charger is different from the nokia chargers available(old and new)its like a mini usb the phones are usually good (facility-wise) as in the common ones have both a keypad and touch sensitive screen and are also cheap(d N99 has TV, radio, bluetooth, mp3,space for two sims and it goes for about 27000) but my grouse is the fake branding so next time u see that nice looking and also cheap nokia be careful!!(imagine going to a nokia shop with one of them phones!) i have seen d fake N77, N99, N88 and also my mom bought a motorola version of one of these phones(it wasn't in naija n was meant to be a motorola ming) |
