HANDPHONE FREAK III

Good day. Today, i'll share some info to u all.
Since long time ago until today, we known of we'll purchase either authorised original set or AP sets at Malaysia. Wat's different between authorised original sets and AP sets?
Authorised original set is genuine original sets & 100% approved by authorised dealer in Malaysia such as Zitron, Thorus, etc. and it uses only 100% genuine parts to assemble, meanwhile AP (Approved Permit) is doesn't approved by authorised dealer, and instead it brings to Malaysia through dealers such as Final Choice, COSMAT, TS, and much much more! And since 2007, a lot of dealer recondition those 2nd hand handsets and sell it as new sets. We call those sets as "Recon Sets" usually, and those dealer sell it as "new" AP sets. In other words, they sell old sets as new sets, and old sets cant be guaranteed in terms of quality.
If u purchase authorised original sets, u can get natiowide warranty and it only 100%genuine parts assembled and replaced for warranty. When u purchase AP sets, u can only claim warranty from the shop u purchase only, and also limited warranty, such as no warranty for touchscreen, no warranty for software, and also, AP dealers can exclaim of it had damaged by water thus void warranty due of the AP dealer known of the certain recon sets had damaged by water but they wouldn't tell the truth of sure. Tat's y a lot of ppl encourage to purchase authorised sets for better coverage.
These was authorised dealer for mobile phone in Malaysia,
Nokia: Zitron, Avaxx
Sony Ericsson: Thorus, Midland, MCM(accessory)
Samsung: FMG(First Mobile Group)
LG: Zitron
HTC: SIS
Motorola: Brightstar, Action

How to identify it was authorised original sets?
1. At the back of handphone, battery and charger, must have authorised sticker. otherwise like "Final Choice", "COSMAT" sticker is comfirm AP sets.
2. The Serial Number (15-digit number) listed at back of handphone is must same as written at boxes provided, and same with written at screen as u type *#06# If either 1 party is not same, it not consider as Authorised original sets
3. The warranty card must be "Nokia", "Sony Ericsson" and with Authorised dealer's stamp. If provided with "TS", "COSMAT" etc, those was AP sets.
