Just a point of distinction: that's not Nokia, that's LetsTalk, a reseller. Unlike LetsTalk, Nokia has no particular desire to confirm upon which cheek your third grade teacher had a mole that looked a bit like Kermit the Frog. Also, and not to alarm you, but there's been some, well, talk of LetsTalk resealing "lightly used" units and passing them off as new. Nokia itself shouldn't be playing those games--and probably can't, legally.

I do see that the order was placed through a company called lets talk. However, I purchased through the Nokia site so I would hope that it is still considered a purchase direct from Nokia. The whole transaction seemed to be within Nokia's site, but the email confirmation clearly came from letstalk.

asqwasqw-thanks for the correction, I have always thought it was "sorted" (which I suppose made sense in my head).

But you know, Sordid really does describe the state of ebay of late.

Sordid
(sôrdd)
adj.
1. Filthy or dirty; foul.
2. Depressingly squalid; wretched: sordid shantytowns.
3. Morally degraded: "The sordid details of his orgies stank under his very nostrils" James Joyce. See Synonyms at mean2.
4. Exceedingly mercenary; grasping.

Letstalk is used as a fulfillment center. This is a common practice when companies sell "direct." Letstalk actually has the stock on hand and handles everything related to delivery after the order is entered.

Ok, jusy thought I would post a follow up to this thread...
After 2 emails, no responses and after 3 days of the seller receiving his scratched n810 back, he REFUNDED MY MONEY. Iam thankful that it didn't drag on any longer than that. I got the feeling this guy will screw with people just because he can (after reading some of his feedback).

So, the lessen learned, don't buy anything from a powerseller that has more than a couple negatives, don't buy anything from a seller that has the words: Dirt, Cheap and Liquidations in his seller ID
