Price seems really good, but...

I've bought Huawei mifi's from taobao without hesitation, as they are made in China, but I'm personally skeptical of buying things from China that aren't made there (My N5, bought from Japan, says 'Made in Korea' on the back...).


If you do buy, do let us know how it goes. I guess just be prepared that there might be no warranty at all. Buying from an overseas play store would still have warranty from that country, where you could still send it back for service if you have to.

Chrome without chrome pie sucks on lollipop.

What browser you guys use to navigate easier???

 

[valentinotan]

im quite skeptical about buying phones from TAOBAO too. the price seems too good too. however the reviews on the shop and product seems alright. just =/ on the warranty part.

 

[shichuanhua]

shipping is rmb70+ since it's special goods
also, some forward may not want to take risk to send ~.


BTW. Cataclysm for Nexus 5 IS BACK

overall lollipop bring a new life to my Nexus. only thing i missed in kitkat is the gravitybox and secure settings for tasker.
btw, wifi seems picky on router also.
