Hey, I just bought a ipv2 yesterday. I had been checking them out online for a while and hearing some good/some bad (just like everything else) and decided to go ahead and get one.
Once I got this bad boy home and popped in a VTC5, everything is working as it should. I can dig it!
Only a couple of things caught my attention, once I was over the "new toy" syndrome.
My ipv2 has hex head screws, not phillips heads (which people complained about stripping out all the time)
- has a nylon strap in the battery compartment to assist when removing the battery.
- Does not have the icons for the power, plus, or minus buttons.
- laser etched logo on the back instead of the imprinted
-serial number in right spot
- QC and warranty card inside of packaging
I'm not sure if its a clone. I have been searching "ipv2 clone" all over the place and can't find anything, but I am seeing the majority of them have icons next to the buttons, etc. and some do not.
hinge the question, is it a new batch, an old batch, or are clones already starting to pop up and majority hasn't noticed?
Thanks for any help in answering. I will post some pics shortly for comparison.
