ISP Glossary:
WCDMA - Bob Ward wrote in message news:... Once the box is opened, it really is not a new unit any more, so it must be sold as an "open box item". Best Buy always prices these items at a lower price than the ones that are new, in an unopened box.That is 100% false false. Best Buy regularly resells returned, openeditems as brand-new and does not disclose this, except in some cases ofobvious damage or missing accessories, but many times such items aresimply restocked and sold as new. In one case I returned a productthat I said was defective, but they didn't test it but simply lookedin the box, probably for any obvious missing parts, and later it wasback on the shelf. Another time I bought a phone that supposedly hadnever been sold or opened, but I found that it was missing the wallcord. Best Buy would not provide the cord, make a price adjustment,or give me a 100% refund. I discovered that all 6 other samples instock had obviously been returned because of damaged boxes, missingdocumentation or accessories, or, in one case, the large coffee stainhandn't been removed from the handset.OTOH Circuit City here never resells opened returned items except outof the box and on a special table for returned and damaged items, as Iverified when on two occasions I found items that I had returnedmyself for very minor cosmetic flaws (both worked fine).
