Remember that the n900 didn't launch in Hong Kong until a full year after the official launch, so yeah, they have real n900s. However, many cell phones out of Asian get their real accessories (sometimes even component internals) swapped out because dealers there can resell the original parts for much more than they can generics. It's hit and miss whether you are going to get all original n900 accessories and/or batteries, but if you are getting a replacement or don't mind buying the better scud batter anyways, then you are pretty much good. If you get a lower quality battery, you can use that as your spare and not feel bad about not charging it as regularly as your main(s).
