HTC Touch probably NOT original

[Red_Baron]

I have been offered to buy a HTC Touch, but I am not shure if it's original HTC. Do you know anything if its exists a replica of this phone? I will post here some pictures of this unit. Please tell me if, it's an original HTC, so I can decide to buy it or not. Many thanks ahead!

It's probably an OEM one.

I believe they are manufactured by HTC themselves but are branded as a Dopod S1, i have one (though mine has got HTC logos on it) and it works exactly the same as a branded HTC touch. It still has touchflo and wifi and everything is exactly the same it is just a fraction of the price :) They are awesome value in my opinion, i paid $296 AUD for mine.

Not seeing an HTC logo, or the internal antenna attachment both seem fishy to me, same goes for the little big thats beside the CE logo on the body of the phone as my Touch doesn't have that.

Usually the failsafe way to check if its fake or not is to see if you can get the phone into bootloader.

maybe they just changed the external case (probably it was scratched) with a cheap chinese one?

Call HTC and verify the S/N and IMEI shown in the pictures is genuine.

Thank you all for hellping me solve my doubts! :o Finally I decided to not to buy this phone. Anyway his price was $200 and was brand new. When I told him that is NOT an ORIGINAL HTC, he didn't wanted to convince me ;) MAny thanks again for helping me!

you can buy this replica on the street.

I must say it is a very good replica, and it works, but it is not the same....

try entering bootloader... impossible... there's not bootloader menu, you can enter a kind of bootloader menu for SD only, pressing volume up and reset at the same time... I think it runs windows CE. :)
