HI GUYS,
My z1 had camera issues and the service center guys said they will give me a new device but these guys did not take the box, I am wondering that these guys are just bluffing, is there a way for me to find if the device I am getting is new?
I have got my Z1 replaced the same way. They didn't take the box, the charger or the headphones. They gave me a brand new one. It was covered in those plastic film foils, it came in. 534 firmware and, the most important thing, it had A NEW IMEI. So, stay cool. You will get a brand new device for sure.

What price did you pay for your Z1 ? was it online or from a shop. The camera issue you've had has happened to others as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience, hopefully the same procedures are followed back in India.
But do you or anyone actually know how to find if the phone is new or refurbished
Is it possible by the IMEI nukber or ahynsoftware?
I don't think so. Just check the phone's build quality and any traces of it being used before.
Although Sony's policy allows the replacement with a refurbished phone, the law in my country doesn't allow that. It clearly states that the repairs must be done using new materials or - if it comes to a replacement - the replacement device must be a brand new one.

It's a good deal, the online sources tend to beat the shops but then i'm a bit leery to buy something this expensive on line. Don't mind paying a little more premium to avoid such issues. Somebody else had ordered earlier from homeshop18 and had the same issue. Took about a month to get a replacement as the vendor was not in the same city.

IMEI is unique for every phone.
Chance is good you will get a another one as they do not service Z1 in India, it has to be shipped over to Sweden.
Whether new or refurbished is the question ? does it show any wear or tear, you will have to examine closely. Coming in a sealed box does not mean too much.

Hi all
I have just received a brand new o2 XDA Exec today (insurance replacement) and do not need it as I have now replaced my xda with something else so before I go down the ebay route with stupidly high ebay fees, scammers etc I thought I would offer people here the chance to buy it.
All I have done since getting it at lunchtime is charge the battery fully, checked it is unlocked with 2 different UK sim cards (it is!) and left everything else in their respective wrappers.
So if anyone is interested in a brand new Xda Exec which is open to all networks worldwide please feel free to PM me or reply to this thread.
Cheers
How much?
I've just broke the screen- I mean some1 has broke my screen trying to fit his bag next to my laptop bag on the plane and...
Anyway, have to buy new ASAP!!
Cheers
Chris
It is BRAND NEW and they are still £500 or more new (if you can get hold of one!) so make me an offer and we can take it from there...
Another guy on here is selling a used one with a GSM / 3G fault for £195 btw so something above that would be a good place to start. I can also throw in a 1GB sd card if you need it too but I imagine you already have everything if yours has only just broke!
I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne btw and can PM you my ebay id etc so you can see I am genuine.
Cheers
As I've just come back form India (4 weeks) I'm little short on cash so what about 180?
How could you possibly be short of cash after coming back from India!!!
I managed to eat out like a King for £2 per day Mmmm Thalis....
Will PM you my ebay id so you can check up on my history etc.
Like I said earlier that other guy wants £195 for a used faulty one and this is brand spanking new, as in perfect, A+++, 10/10, as in worth more than £185 I think...
I will await a higher offer in repsect of the above details as I am not in rush to sell.
Cheers

£2 per meal I guess
70p for a decent Thali off the beaten track so £2 for 3 meals per day is about right
I have put a picture of the xda online here:
cheers
Yeah, 4 weeks in Marriott plus huge shopping. All paid by me.
Anyway, India IS CHEAP!!
Cheers

okay 200 from 1ndonesia.how much is the shipping?
Mine Dopod900/Universal has just died.
195/200 pound or about SGD600 for a Universal is really a steal. I would be glad to have it.
I bought it at 3 times the price here in Singapore when it was out 2 years back. It is selling in Singapore about SGD100 more than the rest of the world when it was launched here just to have a local warranty, which gives me a lot of problem.
But, although yours has a warranty, in case of problem some months down the road, it would be a big problem for repair sending back to UK.
I hadn't thought about sending it overseas due to all the scams etc but if someone wants me to send it overseas then I will find out how much the postage is.
Let me know if you are serious...
Cheers

pm me if u r interested
Thx byeeee
I have PM'd people who are interested and think I can send the xda exec via UPS or similar internationally ok.
If the buyer is UK based the xda will be sent via Royal Mail special delivery which includes insurance and gets to you next working day by 1pm.
I have sent my ebay id to those interested so you can check my details etc but please note no matter whether you are a UK or international buyer the money will need to clear my end BEFORE I send the xda as there are too many scammers out there.
MODS: Shall I supply my details to you for extra buyer protection? Not noticed how people usually sell on here...

I think we could use a topic like similar ones.
How many people has it? Did you encounter any problems with your One and where did you buy it?
Darkhan total i brought 50 items none had complaint all had little line on gap very little 3 had headphone broken but they send it to Teleservice so all happy.
Mine were first batches but now i have bought another 5 from UK they seems much better build quality but i dont know which batch they sell at Turkcell
I bought from Turkcell, mine is perfect. They let me check the phone before I buy it.
I bought one on tuesday, but there were errors on microphone.
People couldnt hear me very well, sound was low and nor clear all the time.
I gave it back and waiting for a new unit.
This is my third phone this month,
I was using htc one x for a year, begining of this month I bought xperia z but i didnt like it and changed it to ONE.
I was missing my one x while using the Z, but one is really great

No luck about accessories yet. Noone knows they'll arrive.
But if you go Beyoğlu, check Turkcell Pera Mağaza.

This question is for my Indian brothers here.
I am very impressed with this device And I am buying this instead of nexus 4.
Well I searched a lot, went on androidguruzz site, they are selling for Rs. 27440 but I cannot add the device to cart (site problem)
I thought to order from oppostyle but as you guys know INR value is down these days and if I order from there it well cost me 30000+ Rs. which I cannot afford.
I just want to ask if there is any shop in new delhi which have already imported this device when price were low I will buy from there. Is there any shop selling this device in new delhi?
I am very confused and really wants this device but have got no idea what to do?
Please help me with this, thank you

you can try www.liaow.com but they are selling china version with international flashed rom. warranty is not supported from oppostyle if you buy china version, you have to send it back to liaow.com. but i highly suggest to buy from oppostyle, since they are giving out free easy cover if you buy a find 5 that could easlily translate to 2000 inr

When it's too good to be true, it's not. Might be perfect, but can be stolen.
get your conscience free and spend a bit more, or go for nice alternatives like the Moto G
If you look on youtube, there's quite a convincing knock off. It maybe one of those (especially coming from india)

new sells in my country for almost as much as people selling their used.
ive looked on ebay but looking at feedbacks, im certain the phones being sold as new are refurbished.
I bought my current v20 as new and got refurbished. after a year when the warranty was over the screen has MASSIVE bleeding and ghosting on it.
looking for a good source -unlocked INTL version.
I want the phone because I love the camera (unfortunately both my cameras no longer work because the glass cracked and over the time has had damage) and I need a phone with swappable batteries.
last question. once I gtet the phone I want to make sure my phone has an original screen. is there clear markings that I can verify the screen is OEM?
any help appreciated.

Import 1 from Korea, or a country that regularly import and sell Korean phones on the secondary market (i.e. Philippines/Vietnam/etc..), but even then they might just be refurbished. The phone stopped manufacturing over a year ago, its also nearly 3 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find a new legit BNIB V20

my worry is that the parts inside are genuine and swapped for aftermarket garbage. mine has an aftermarket screen. I didnt know that when I bought it. it has tons of ghosting and bleeding.
oe screen is higher quality for sure.

98.3 out of 45000 reviews on eBay is excellent, I got good deals from him.
I paid $225 for the near mint silver H910 in Oct of 2017
And $200 for the 3 others in excellent condition a couple months later
I don't think you'll find a New / Mint v20 for any cheaper from a reputable dealer.
