Not new or Refurbished. Delivery way late...
Correction: 1. Initially ordered for 2 two days delivery. Correction from 4 weeks, got it 1 week later. Asked for delivery refund. 2. Product was advertised as new, but did not get delivered in original package. It was buble wrapped but not original package. Only cable and bubble wrapped device inside amazon like plastic bag -- could have be damaged. 3. Device did not look new, but rather used or refurbished. Correction: seller confirmed that it is new and not hacked. 4. Seller stands by its reputation. It is easy to interpret seller's integrity if sensitve package is susceptible to damage in a plastic envelope, regardless of it being buble wrapped. Bubble wrap prevents vibrational damage or minimizes potential damage to heavy objects compressing it, but not guaranteed if main packaging is plastic envelope. In addition, I got no user guide and definitely did not get charger as stipulated in online manual. But it also physically showed signs of devise dragged across a surface that made it seem like it was used. Despite the seller standing up to its integrity, based on my initial experience it is easy to ascertain otherwise. Don't advertise 2 days monetized shipment if it's hot guaranteed. If one pays up front for special shipment and not delivered as advertised, it's a trap for the unsuspecting customer who doesn't follow up and asks for a refund. They argue I ordered on a Friday. I'll give them that. But regardless, I didn't get the order till a week later. Finally. I ordered unlocked device and it is still locked to tmobile. Now I have to ho through trouble of unlocking it.
