Nokia Philippines warns public on fake cell phones
Nokia Philippines through its corporate communications manager, Nikka Abes is warning consumers to be careful in buying their products due to the proliferation of fake Nokia cell phones and other gears in the market.
Some are being brought to the Nokia Care Centers for repair and of course, because they are fake, they are turned down. Nokia phone models that are being copied include Nokia N81, Nokia 5310, Nokia N95, Nokia N82 and Nokia 6120 which are sold at one-half to one-third of the original price, branded Nokia and sometimes even the packaging is made to look like the real thing.
How to make sure that the Nokia that you are buying is not fake?
1. Buy only from authorized dealers and look for a blue 12-month limited warranty sticker on the top or side parts of the phone’s box; and a “Nokia Care” tamper-proof warranty sticker on the phone’s accessories such as the charger, battery, memory card or data cable.
2. All genuine Nokia phones also have a tamper-proof label at the back of each mobile phone that also include the National Telecommunications Commission logo and the type acceptance number. Also found in the back of the mobile phone is the Nokia tamper-proof warranty seal.
3. For the batteries, there should be a hologram label that reflects the Nokia “Connecting Hands” slogan on one angle and the “Original Enhancements” logo on another angle. When the hologram is slanted to the left, right, down, and up of the logo, one should see 1, 2, 3 and 4 dots on each side.

cguro much better kung ibaba nyo ng konti yung price ng orig! masyado kasing mataas… kaya marami ang kumakagat sa fake….. walang pinagkalayo yan sa mga pirated CD… tinatangkilik ng mga tao kasi mababa ang price kesa sa mga orig.

kung babaan niyo naman kasi ang prisyo niyo eh di sana wala ngbibili sa mga peke kasi sa aminin niyo man o hindi karamirahan ng mamimili niyo ay iyong nasa average ang pamumuhay kaya sana kahit papano mabigyan niyo ito ng kaukulang attention…

well, para sa akin, maganda pa rin ung orig, kahit mahal, may warranty at assurance ka na matibay yun. Kahit sabihin mong mura ung fake, malaki chances na madaling masira yun. Kung 10k mo na bili ung supposedly 30k na cellphone, tapos nasira agad w/in lets say 2-3 months, sa tingin mo, nakatipid ka ba sa nabili mo. Parang lang yang mga laruan ngayon na made in china, 10 pesos, imagine, napakamura. Binili ko anak, ko, wala pang 5 minuto sira na. My goodness! binili ko n lng sana ng pagkain.
Kakainis nga. Halos lahat ng produkto na bibilhin natin puro made in china. Hindi kaya ma malanin lahat yun? hmmmm???

dapat tlaga ibba ung price ng orig khit 70% ng original price… kc meron nmng mede in china n phone pero original xa… imagine almost 30% to 50% lng ng original ung price nung sinsabi nilang mde in china n phone pero sulit n rin if tumgal sau un ng 0ne year dba… kc mbilis nman mg-deprieciate ung model ng mga phones ngyon especially ung nokia… to those who want to buy phones check the serial number of the phone you’ll going to buy by typing on its screen the #*06# and when the number 8 of the serial number will be 2 it is made of china materials, but when its 1 or 0 its made by the original mterials…

HellO guys,
I wonder if my phone is fake, kasi yung sa likOD nya dun sa lalagyan ng battery may nakasulat na “MADE IN CHINA”.. kaya nakaka offend tingnan… Please email me if my phone is a china phone or not.. email me at nico_regalado@yahoo.com…

para sakin hindi lahat ng nakakamura eh nakakatipid.mura nga kung low quality namn,nagtatapon ka lang ng pera! besides may mga reasonable price naman na original unit na celphone unless nag a-ambisyon ka ng maganda at magarang celphone na kulang ang pera mu.mag ipon ka ng maayos at matinong celphone ang mabili mu at hindi peke na mabilis ma lowbat.

huwag kasi maghangad ng bagay na hindi kaya ng bulsa. may dahilan kung bakit ganun ang presyo ng mga orig na cellphone. hindi porke may mura na “kamukha” nung mga mamahalin eh bili agad. trying hard ang labas niyo nun. hindi ba mas nakakahiya na “peke” ung phone kesa sa “orig” pero low end? nakakaasar ung mga mayayabang umasta at dinidisplay pa ung “high end” kuno nilang phone eh peke naman…..

it is better yung mga original na phones, at nakakasiguro ka sa mga parts nya.. kasi ung mga fake is fake.. marami tlaga pinagkaiba ang orig sa mga fake, mapapansin mu tlaga pag fake or not ang isang fone kung mejo bihasa ka rin sa mga gadgets… one thing is the battery, mapanpansin mu ung fake, madaling malowbat, three times na full charge lang, the other charge mu ay parang madaling nalolowbat, tapos bumubosog ung battery, minsan nagleleak.. so the effect of that leakage is the malfunction of the fone as much as to its hardware and other internal parts, in short, madaling nasisira ang mga fake… NUT, sa panahon ngaun, may point naman ung huling nagcomment b4 me na cguro mejo IBABA rin ng kunti ang prices ng mga original ngayon, dahil cellphones ay kelangan na ata ngaun ng tao, 4 the easiest way of communications and business… Anyway, marami din talagang tumatangkilik na ng mga fake kesa original sa panahon ngayon na crisis… Yet, ORIGINAL is much than Fake, 4 a long life of using…. u

May orig bang made in china? Sken kse made in china pero parang orig naman may warranty pa at matagal malowbat ung battery.

To all Britannians, it is not advisable to patronize fake cellular phones because all fake makers are loser trying to counterfeit the original one. They had no originality therefore they ruined the consequences that are implemented by the international law. So that we should purchase the original one to prevent some irritating issues.
