Hi
I am planning to buy a Sony Ericsson K700i from shops around Alfa. But a friend warned me "u get duplicates of Sony Ericsson" Is this true?
Which shops (& where) in Grey Market have u had a good experience with? Shops u would like to recommend fo a good service.
Where do I get SE from an official Sony store? Address.
Thanks.

@cell - Welcome to Esato mate

If you are pertaining to 'Reconditioned'

fones then you can certainly get SOME old models here in Manila in particular (Asia). At the last time I saw some

fone models being sold at a 'reconditioned' (refurbished) conditions in selected shops around my place . . there are: Ericsson T39mc and

T68is

Though I haven't SEEN the K700i being SOLD in reconditioned status . . YET. Maybe in the next few months it will be, as it is becoming an OLD model as time passes by

Though some say that 'reconditioned' models works fine too . . .

Clone fones are used by terrorists, secreat agents etc to cheat the system by sending a registrated imei, so the copied users will be hunted if it is, instead of the cheater.

Clone fones arent for the public, to recondition one is legal, when the brand itself manage it. Almost same as at recalled units for example r520.

A reconditioned phone is an original that has been used or had a problem with it and has now been fixed and parts replaced to look and act brand new.

Thanks Boba and Hustler ! I can therefore conclude that we have NO 'cloned' fones at my end . . . only 'reconditioned' ones !
