    Ive bought fones and stuff off ebay before but Ive always used UK sellers and Power sellers. Im looking to buy a nokia 6288 and they`re going for £120 but i notice the item location is Hong Kong? Would a Hong Kong 6288 model be the same as a uk one?

    Are there any nasty things i should be aware of, here?
    Appreciate any advice, dont wanna get ripped off.

    More than likely the Hong Kong one is a fake. Someone had a thread around here recently where they bought a Motorola and the screen cracked. On bringing it to a repair shop they were told it was a fake and couldn't be repaired. You'd be better off buying the phone from a UK seller as it's less likely to be fake.

    If it looks too good/cheap to be true, then it is.
