  Be careful of being con there hor Some of them use a lot of underhand tactics...and be sure to check whether they are GST registered b4 you agree to pay for GST.

  They do sell 1st hand handphones.. just ask.
  
  ::EDIT::
  
  hmm.. old models but you want new sets? thats kinda hard if you ask me. Just change the casing and it'd be as good as new i guess?

  yes, but then the motherboard of the handphone may already be damage or something may have happen to it when used by the previous owner. Well, i will go down to TPY to check it out if they really sell 1st handphone.Are they that evil as to say its new when they just change the cover ?

  it's more applicable for newer models like nk 7610, all these... they can always say its export set, no warranty... den look new... cos phones can be cleaned till look brand new... i can do that to my 11 mths Nokia 6600, why not them? just watch out and be careful...
