Validate your phone!

Normal people like me consist of 90% of the population that hold 10% of the wealth of the world. While the other 10% hold 90% wealth of the world. So by saying that, most of us want to buy phone (handphone/cellphone/ppc/smartphone/etc) with cheap price but want it to be original (not flashed or fake or 山寨*). Now you can take the IMEI number (can't be fake 99%) and check it at this website:

*note: made in China, not fake, but similar hardware, just the quality might sucks, depend on your luck!)
