Does it worth buying an original cell phone or should you just buy a replica phone?

Most cell phones are made by just a few companies (ie Motarola, LG, etc.) If you are talking about buying one through the store vs online, they are basically the same phones. Just be careful to make sure the phone you are getting is truely new, not refurbished. Most of your online stores that sell at greatly reduced cost are selling refurbished phones and sometimes they do not operate as well as they should.

I heard that some Machintosh computers have this problem. If you're in Eastern Europe they will sell you a refurbished product as a brand new one.
Do they mention anywhere that it's a refurbished phone or do they just sell it to you like it's brand new?

In the US they are required to have it marked as refurbished. It is against the law to sell a refurbished product as new.

That's good, so it should be everywhere, or maybe it is but Eastern Europe is a little "special". So I guess in Eastern Europe that doesn't apply since many people buy Macs only from the US because of this problem. I learned another word today "refurbished", thank you.
