Sunk3n...

As MArik said earlier if its made by nokia in china..then no problem.. even Apple's ipods are made in china... its cool if its chinese made as long the brand is makin it..

but if you are to buy a chinese make model..then that would be a great risk.. agreed they are cheaper and have a similar look to the original ones..

But beauty ain't skin deep..

First the biggest issue is with the support... any problem and you won't find anyone to fix it.. more often than not, its cheaper to get a new chinese phone than to fix the old one.. they do not have dedicated customer service..

Even the functions are lacking if you use your phone more than just making calls...

I would suggest you buy a branded one..especially when it comes to stuff like cell phones and electronics.. worth the extra money... and peace of mind!!! I don't think there is one reputed chinese brand in electronics.. for a reason...

peace
