Check all the keys . check if there is any warranty available or if the dealer can give you any warranty.Buy only if the dealer promises to to give back money if any problem arises within a day or two . And again 4-4.5k is what you should give him , new one costs 8.7k.

I couldnt but that phone. Now they have w810i just months old with warranty without headset for 7k and k810i with headset, mem card and all for 9.5k.

Is it the right price for k810i??
