Are they really worth that much? I have a mint one (in a leather case from new) with all the bits here.

I use to visit them regularly and do business with them on a very large scale at the time (their infrastructure division, not handsets).

I got a Y300-0100 over 3 years ago and it's been fine. Battery life is ok, although I keep anything draining (wifi, etc) off until I need to use it.

As to spying, well, I wouldn't be surprised as it seems to be the norm for everything these days. I'd be more surprised if there wasn't any spyware on it.

At one point they were in demand because they fitted a Mercedes OE car kit, IIRC.

I was humorously referring to chinese govt spying, both Australia and USA and maybe others, wont' let Huawei have big government contracts because they perceive threats
