Scary! New Passport SE's on Ebay from Hong Kong
UPDATE/RESULTS: The phone arrived today, it is as described, a brand new Passport SE, shipping was super fast by DHL. Arriving well before original estimate given right after purchase. The charger that came with the phone is configured for use in, my guess, China and the seller sent along a free plug adaptor to plug into 110V for here in the states.
If your looking for a brand new Passport SE I can recommend the seller on ebay, the ebay link is in an earlier post in this thread. After I got the phone charge up to get the phone to come on, it was defaulted to Chinese language. I used my OG Passport settings screen to compare to where to press to get it switched to English.
The phone was packaged in original box which was tightly wrapped in cardboard which was placed into one of those heavy duty plastic shipping bags. The phone feels great to hold compared to the OG, all I want is a simple soft sleeve case to slid it into.
I did a crappy unboxing video which will humiliate me here forever. I'm working on uploading it to PhotoBucket, when upload is finished I'll post the link if anyone need a good laugh.
Summary: I'm a very happy camper, finally got my SE and love it! Installed Cobalt already. END of UPDATE
OP>>Scary! Brand New Passport SE's on Ebay from Hong Kong! Can anyone here confirm that they bought one and its for real?
I guess if it's fake the ebay buyer protection is now rock solid?
