Hello maemo community. I want to share my ebay purchase story with everybody to avoid making same mistake that i did. I purchased "NEW Nokia N900 3G 32GB WIFI GPS 5MP QWERTY SmartPhone MADE IN FINLAND " from
cellphoneforever
seller. This was my second N900, first one has broken USB connector. As i received the box i realized that this is not the same box that i got with my first N900. The box was with no any bar code. Surprise was inside. The phone come with no stylus, no video cable and no instruction. It was some chip printed booklet about different phone that everybody can print at home printer. Well, i guess no big deal. When i charged phone and turned it on i start to explore new purchase. Firmware was outdated, but this is OK, i can upgrade it later. Surprise was inside the conversation folder. It was a bunch of SMS messages between previous owner and other people. It was conversation in London area code. When I contacted seller about stylus and video cable he told me that i can buy it for additional price
. Finally i got email that i can return the phone with full refund include shipping cost, BUT i have to ship it with no tracking number.
. Such a smart idea!!! Ok, here is the end. I contacted Paypal and the opened dispute case. A little bit hussle for my N900. But I really like that phone !!!
Hope somebody will learn my lesson and will avoid my mistake.
P.S. I contacted Nokia and gave them IMEI number, they told me that this phone more than 1 year old and not under nokia warranty and phone was purchased in Europe.
