uppalpankaj 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2005 Hi all, I bought the all new LG 6130 handset for Rs. 5700 yesterday. Its cool looks attracted me towards it. But one thing bothers me. The manufacture date and date of import on the packaging of the handset is Sept 2004. When I asked the Reliance Web world person about this, he said that it takes the handset 8-10 months to be imported and then reach the market. Hence, handset with date of import & packaging later than Sept/Oct 2004 will not be available no matter how hard u try. Is it so or the web world person has fooled me? Your expert opinion is welcome. Please help. With regards, Pankaj Uppal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saurav 22 Report post Posted November 26, 2005 Handset is no more being imported. old stock is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted November 26, 2005 If this is true, I guess it would be especially bad for the battery life! Batt life countdown begins the day it is manufactured (even if unused)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chirag 5 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 reliance buys in stock! i mean, in number of containers. It stocks them all over india and distributes it as and when reqd. The entire price control is in their hands. Even if u see the newer handsets, the box will mention absolete dates! Thats wat is happening, coz they are handling it. The funda is "buy in bulk / cheap" and sell it according to market conditions. With this unique concept of selling handsets along with the connection, they've sustained all this while in the market, after huge investments!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt be convinced to buy such an old handset ...even if it means looking for non-RIM options... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chirag 5 Report post Posted November 27, 2005 from the warranty point of view, its ok to buy that handset, as long as u get a reciept for that handset for the date u bought it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
