just wanna give out warning coz there are a lot of floating 5800 around.
Im not saying it is being distributed here but its better to be safe. Here is the Link
YouTube - NOKIA 5800 Xpress music replica, NOKIA 5800 clone, NOKIA 5800 copy from China soundasia <---Single Sim CLONE
YouTube - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Clone <---DUAL SIM CLONE
it is almost the same externally except for the NOKLA print and 2MP cam
BUT...
that could always be changed to the classA one which looks ORIGINAL
even the interface is IDENTICAL
the best way to check any nokia phones is to Check the usual
Nokia secret codes/shortcuts. Usually fake Nokia phones have no such capability. To check for the IMEI Serial no. press *#06#, take note of the number, it should be the same as in the back inside of the phone and the Box that came with the Nokia phone. Check also the other Nokia secret codes like *#0000# that shows the Nokia cellphone's firmware version, firmware date and Nokia mobile phone code. You can also check the Service Warranty secret code for further protection, press *#92702689#.
exerted from
How to detect fake Nokia phones
Ask for the IMEI before buying and test it at
International Numbering Plans <---
This will work on all phones
If confirmed and its a deal, Manual check the IMEI if you already have a hold of the unit and see if it is the same as the IMEI you were given. Its pretty easy to swap the phone before dealing it. Right?
just a friendly alert!
