My phone has a sticker on the side

[taylor910]

I just received a new a1200 and it has a sticker along the side of the phone that says "SYNNEX."
The only other unusual thing about the phone is the homescreen icon in the bottom middle is the File Manager, instead of the camera.
Any clues as to what this could mean? Should I contact the seller (importgsm)?
Please let me know, thanks

mines had the same thing. i think its because it is the taiwanese version. not just the side of the phone that has that sticker. the battery, the battery door, and the phone itself (next to the sim cards lot) has that sticker too. my phone's firmware is v45p. what's yours?

44p... Does your phone have any icons or anything changed around, i.e. the homescreen icons? I thought you could only do that with editing software, that was what concerned me the most. I don't want a phone that someone has already used.
I found minimal information about synnex, and nothing about their affiliation with motorola. Where did you get your phone from? mine was from importgsm.com
Also I had a sticker on the battery and on one side of the phone only.

i don't recall, because i flashed my phone with v48p (big mistake).
synnex is like a phone retailer in taiwan. got my phone from a water goods shop in macau.

I had the same thing, but i dont recal if anything was changed on the phone as far as firmware goes since also did an 'upgrade', I wasnt to concerned about the stickers though.

Whay was V48P a big mistake?

48p is china moile branded, until 46p comes out there is no generic to go back to.

Differences between generic and CM branded include; different icons and a different theme, extra apps you cant remove, alot of different settings for certain apps in chinese, some differences in os security that have caused some problems with apps like zmplayer, different folders including a bunch of dumb mms cards, and supposedly (but I think un proven) the camera quality is not as good on CM.
