Check places like Harvey Normans in their bargain bins- they regularly flick stuff off at $10-20- nearly picked up a Nokia-made case/ car charger/ hands free kit for $30 last year, just got pipped...

Not all mobile has the type plug . The Nokia N series uses ACP-12 and it is incompatible with older models . Virtually ACP-8 charger works with all mobiles except Nokia N series . However this can be overcome when buying one of the N series model where they supply you with a little cord that is a conversion type plug	Ninjabear (2948)

Darn Ninjabear, how many people do you know with an N-series mobile?! I was having a laugh and thought I'd get the retail price for the N91 (the MP3 player style one)- you could have been there to pick me up off the floor when they told me it was $1400! :horrified :illogical Oh well, I think I will wait a while... :D Seriously though, you won't be finding too many of those chargers in Cash converters, or anywhere else cheap for that matter. My point still stands though... if you are looking for a cheap charger, the high street shops are still good for the occasional bargain, so long as you have a fixed price and are willing to go to cash converters if they don't have anything...

I haven't seen anyone using N series yet in nz but I saw plenty of people using N70 while I was in hk	Ninjabear (2948)
481406	2006-09-19 12:15:00	I like the look of the N91, but I'm not so sure about the mechanism attaching the sound controls to the phone- I get the impression that I would bend/break the rails through texting! $900 in HK though, and seen them on Trademe for about $7-900 too, hmmm . . .

I see a 14 days warranty one and I don't recommend that . The price I quoted you is official Nokia Hong kong Stock . Not parallel importd stock from Hk There is a difference . With official hong kong stock . You take it back to nokia,sony ericsson etc and they repair free of charge . The parallel ones may have been tampered with . No proof it is new . If it malfunctions warranty is an issue . Nokia Hk will charge you $60 checking fee then charge you seperately for each individual repair . Sometimes the supplier can send the item back to the original place but because the problems of posting it back the seller always tries to back out or make a excuse . If you bought a mobile from europe it is very hard to send it back to nokia europe unless you have relations over there or speak french or something . That is why most people offer 14 days warranty . I always offer 1 year warranty with my mobiles which I sell online . Just take the fact that cheap doesn't mean good . Cheap can be a dodgy stock . 14 days isn't enough . 3 months warranty is ok but My N70 started to have problems just over two months . People don't realise that there are stocks where the supplier takes the bits out of a mobile and replaces it with different parts of the same mobile packged together stating its new . Its refurbish . The parts inside of that mobile are faulty parts . With Newer mobiles it is more safe . Hardly see any refurbish around but the newer the mobile is the harder it is to repair when it comes to problems . Always buy with more than 1 month warranty is my advice to you	Ninjabear (2948)

Haven't heard any issues with N91 yet . With N series you can now upgrade the firmware/software by yourself so thats good . Nope no complaints yet with this mobile . It should be fine	Ninjabear (2948)
