Original or Fake?

Here's a unique way to check whether your mobile is factory made or cloned in some remote areas of Azerbaijan. You all know that all mobiles will have a factory set international mobile equipment identity number, right? If not, press *#06# in your mobile. You will immediately see a 15-digit number. Now just check the 7th & 8th number in that series and note it down. Here's the interpretation of it.

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 02 or 20 that means it was assembled in the Emirates which is very Bad quality

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 08 or 80 that means it was manufactured in Germany which is not bad

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 01 or 10 that mean it's manufactured in Finland which is Good

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 00 that mean s it was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality ...

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 13 that mean s it was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very poor quality and potentially very dangerous to your health!!!

PS: Thank god, mine showed 00!!

    come on dude, dont put such hoaxes in this excellant blog of yours... that number has nothing to do with factory assembled and clones... for eg., my Moto RAZR is assembled in Singapore, and it shows a 01 in the end, which according to this hoax, is assembled in Finland... In reality, Motorola doesn't have any facility of any sorts in Finland!!!!!

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
