You should be all good then. I doubt that anyone would go through all the trouble to make a very realistic knockoff for the price you paid. Just enjoy your phone and let the hacking begin.

at worst, it could just be a rebuilt phone from several broken phones he bought for parts

still would be fine if everything works

Is it a sprint touchpro 2? international? the tp2 has dialer codes which you can type in and see the details of the device.

Overall though if it is running windows mobile then its not a knock off, I see no reason for them to waste their time doing it considering how much TP2s go for. But it could be a referbished for example.

Am, no he probably didnt buy few broken phones and made a good one as he sells a lot of these in eBay (Didn't count but there's probably ~15 phones sold a day). And yeah windows works fine etc. everything seems to be working fine, like i havent used it that much but looks ok. Yep refurbished phone is a possibility, altough they'd have to have many ppl working on these phones to fix them as they sell a lot (Probably ~40 a day or more) .

That kind of business is profitable because you sell a lot of phones. Effectively you buy broken phones for parts and use them to fix other broken phones. Since 1 broken phone can be used to repair 1-5 phones it works out.

Yeah... Techs are almost free. So it's all profit. LOL.
Just messing with you gTen. I know what you mean. No need to dissect my statement.
