I always wanted to ask a question like this, I was thinking for example, if a N9 is from china and brought to the UK (Where it was not released) Are they going to fix it for free.

I had an experience with Sony (Sony Ericsson) where i claimed on the warranty, they asked me to send the phone, and they turned back and say, it is unrepairable but if i want the phone back, I must pay for labour and stuff, I let them have the phone, but i did not think it was worth it, Later on, i find out all the phone needed was to be flashed. But they gave me wrong analysis data, they said the resin was broken. it was Very cold when the phone just randomly turned off and when starting up, it failed to come on, only showing me a white screen, but all it needed was to be reflashed.
