Nokia 5800 in an open box? Hi to everybody.I bought this cell phone, but I live in Venezuela. So I sent the package to a brother's house. His wife tells me that the box was already open, but everything seems to be fine inside. I have many Nokia cell phones, and each one came in a sealed box with a sticker from Nokia. The seller opened it in front of me.Did you receive your product in an open box too? Is this normal? Do I have to exchange the product? It's like a pain, because my brother is coming to Venezuela very soon...Thanks in advance, and excuse my poor english... Nokia 5800 in an open box?

Hi Wilmer, thanks a MILLION...... your reply help me decide to order the Nokia 5800 from Amazon.comI will let you know as soon as I receive Nokia phone, if Nokia box comes seal or not.Thanks again

My box had no seal or sticker on it. And no residue or other sign that there ever was any kind of seal on it. I don't think the 5800 packaging is sealed in any way. As long as the phone itself has the protective cover plastics still on, and everything else looks fine I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks Efrain!Amazon is not exchanging this produt. Instead, they make a refund and you have to buy the phone again. It takes a very long time to be processed, and, as I wrote, my brother is coming to Venezuela very soon.I bought all my cell phones here, all of them in sealed boxes. So, I was thinking that it can be a mistake. But now I'm calm...Hope you enjoy the phone, you can find many apps for free over internet, in order to get the most of the phone. If you need help, just let me know.Thanks again!!!

Hi Wilmer,I'm not a tech savvy, maybe your reply can help me decide, if I should or should not buy the Nokia 5800.Right now l'm using Moto Z9, I use cell phone mainly for texting (SMS text) and as a replacement for house phone.I like Nokia 5800 (unlocked) a lot, because:1. A touchscreen phone - similar iPhone, but I don't have to pay $30.00/month if I buy iPhone from AT&T;2. The WIFI feature3. The Music feature4. The camera featureThe thing that worry me right now (because I'm not a tech savvy):1.That I will have a hard time to set up the WIFI connection on Nokia 5800 to my wireless network at home or to Free WIFI hotspots.2. Setting up the email app.Forgive my English.

ak, it looks like AT&T phones at a discount by extending or new contract does not include the Nokia 5800. However you can check out this link and see if you can choose another phone instead http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/phones/?referringdomain=wirefly&oflag=&zipcode=92804&refcode1=&refcode2=&eid=&agent=&FilterByCarrier=62&mode= Maybe you want to change the zipcode from 92804 to your zipcode from within that link just to be sure...

Amazon doesn't seem to have any formal definition of what new means. Ebay defines it as "unused, unopened, undamaged", so opening a phone's packaging to unlock it would seem to violate that definition. A related question is where these phones actually come from, seeing as they were never for sale to anyone without an AT&T contract. Presumably they were owned previously by someone who got the phone from AT&T then returned it or sold it on for whatever reason. Thus, there would be no way of telling if the phone is actually unused or not, as it would be up to the original owner's (dis)honesty. I'm just theorizing here as I have no evidence to go on, but this would probably explain why some of these phones aren't as new as they should be.

We have two 1st generation iPhones 8gb at&t (at the time this phone was released at&t was the only carrier), the box has been opened on one, however, the phone is new with maybe a few finger prints that's all. The other phone is the same, however, the box has not been opened. We wanted to discover more about the phone so we opened the box but it has not been used.

I thought was going to receive a phone on a Nokia's box with all accesories POP material, and SURPRISE, it's an AT&T; Branded, and came without earphones. An user guide very simple, not Nokia's one. USB cable is a generic, not a Nokia.

We bought a brand new phone. It wasn't refurbished or used. The brand new was even Chester than the other 2 also.

Yes it is brand new. This phone was discontinued by Nokia a few years ago. Our company purchased these through Nokia at a wholesale auction for brand new phones.

They were sending a different product instead of the original Nokia case. I got one of those imitations, but when I contacted them they offered a refund (without needing to return the product). I don't know if this is still happening.

When I bought my cell phone, It was bought through Ebay. However the phone began to mal function. I tried to get it changed through Ebay, but they never delivered. I decided to purchased another cell phone through Amazon . However, I haven't received the package as yet

We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to the phone without any restrictions.As a large seller we have a mixed inventory, some of the phones will have logos and others won't, we do not differentiate from the two. Whichever the case, these are new phones ready for use.

I purchased an unlocked Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition phone from Amazon. This phone is compatible with the ATT network. I am not a heavy cell phone user, so I don't need a regular phone service plan. I have been using a prepaid ATT Gophone (Nokia 2320) as my main cell phone. When I insert the SIM card from the Nokia 2320 into the 5800, I am unable to connect with the ATT network. The SIM works fine for 3G connection in the 2320. Does ATT block the Nokia 5800 from using the prepaid Gophone service, or has someone been successful in using the 5800 as a Gophone? When I try to place a call with the 5800 using the Gophone SIM, I receive a message that it for emergency service only. I purchased an unlocked Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition phone from Amazon.

This phone was factory sealed but I'm not sure if it was bran New because at start up it didn't give me the personalizing options. Since this is a UK model it didn't work with 4G (t-mobile -2G,Verizon and AT&T; -3G) so I returned it and was charged a $100 restocking fee and It doesn't have warantee.

I recently ordered an E5 on Amazon Germany and it´s made in Hungary like the last Nokia cellphone I purchased. I´m not sure if this applies to the E5 model being sold in the US/international market but if so, you will get a rock solid build quality phone with no reason to complain about. I don´t like this chinese made products either and I try to avoid them as good as possible, which is really hard since nearly EVERYTHING is made there. Luckily only some of the E5´s components come from china whereas the assembling process took place in Europe.

I have the same problem I am from Venezuela and my phone also came locked and they did not inform me that when I sold it, I'm upset about it

I'm wondering the same thing. After my own positive experience with these phones, some friends also bought the same phones. I bought them for close to full price, and they came in *very* retail packaging that was extremely difficult to open, so I'm sure mine are legit. However, the friends in question both bought them for less than $20 from 3rd-parties, so we'll be able to compare quite easily if they're Chinese bootlegs. When they arrive, I'll make sure to post back if they turn out to be fakes.
