    Hey friends here is a new trick to check the originality of your phone. Simply enter *#06# this will display your IMEI Number on your mobile screen which is a 15 digits code;

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

    Check the 7th and 8th number of your IMEI.

    If the number is 13 it means that the phone was manufactured in Azerbaijan which is of a very bad quality and also very dangerous for health.:eek:

    If the number is 02 or 20 it means that the phone was manufactured in Emirates which is of very bad quality.:(

    If the number is 08 or 80 it means that the phone was manufactured in Germany which is not bad quality.

    If the number is 01 or 10 it means that the phone was manufactured in Finland which is of a good quality.

    If the number is 00 that means it was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality.:D

    There is no difference between Nokia phones manufactured in China, Finland or whatsoever. I have a China made Nokia 5800 Xpress music that's working way better than my uncles Finland made N95GB, which already started showing issues with camera flash . The manufacturing and labor cost is lower in some countries. But it doesn't mean that they compromising on quality.

    I don't get it. How could those numbers really tell you that those phones are bad or not? What's your basis on this?

    The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is on all GSM and UMTS mobile phones, commonly found in Europe, Asia, Africa and increasingly in America.
    The specific use of these digits differs from one manufacturer to another. These numbers are sort of like a fingerprint for a Mobile. They help to keep track of problems.
    All mobile phones are assigned a unique 15 digit IMEI code upon production. Below you can check all known information regarding manufacturer, model type, and country of approval of a handset. Source site

    Why would such a system exist and be accessed so easily?
    Let's not even get there.
    Most phone manufacturers sell chinese made products. They have branches where labor power and working conditions are poorer. Hence they cut on price. While, chinese for china phones are worse quality.
