Refurbished-Factory Service or New Phone??? What's the deal here?

The deal is that you CANNOT port your phone number over as the phone is sent to you already activated. I didn't know that when I bought it. Neither did my friend, who called Cingular, ported the number, and now believes he will have to pay an additional $325 as a result. I see that one of the reviewers- Monkey Puppet- also learned this after the fact. If you don't need to port your number, it's the best deal around.

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.

Mine was definitely used. Resealed into a generic Samsung box by the seller; "Zaarn". It was in mint condition though, with only one very tiny scratch on the corner. I would have been perfectly satisfied if it would have worked. It powered on great, but didn't work. Took it to AT&T; and they said it was an internal problem with network recognition. Even a new sim didn't work. Sucks being poor.....

I just bought one for $39 from Luuki_Luuki and it is in perfect condition. It was not sold as new, but used. The $109 one is in the new category but if you read the description, it sure sounds like a used one. Don't pay twice as much for a used phone from a seller that is bending the rules. I bought the $39 "used" one and it is in perfect condition. It came in a box labeled refurbished but if you had told me it was new, I would have believed you.

Hi Alicia. When I bought this phone was brand new and work very well. I've only bought a refurbished item that was a blueray player and so far after a year has worked well. Greetings.

For truly new phones, it most definitely will include the original accessories. If it is a certified refurb, something "like new", from a known retailer it MIGHT include the accessories. If it says a refurb from a dealer or ma/pa store chances are something may be missing. If ever in doubt, email (or use the preferred contact method) the seller and ask prior to purchasing. It's better to be safe than sorry when buying a "new" device or phone.

Yes they are new, I ordered two of them, never had any issue with either phone. Hope this helps.

You may have received a refurbished ...ours came in the factory box ...Amazon is very good about returns & correcting the orders.

And you've answered my question as well. Guess the choice is to have 2 phones or simply get rid of the one I have. Anyone in the market for a slightly used phone?

I bought a used one and it came to me like it was new in a box and extremely clean. So I wouldn't be surprised if they came new in the box. But I don't know for sure. It's one of the best phones that I have ever owned while being extremely rugged. No problems at all. Good luck with your purchase.

First one I ordered was clearly a refurb and damaged. Second I ordered, again it was a refurb. Calling Verizon now to see if it was ever activated and will call Amazon immediately following.

New, yes. Useless, yes. Advice: take the money that you would spend on this phone, go eat a nice meal, then buy a different phone
