I was searching google products for a Nokia N810 Wimax Edition Internet tablet and came across several sites where it was under $250, not including shipping. Does anybody know if these sites are legit or a scam? If they are a scam, then where is the best place to buy this product?

ROFL, yes I want one....but it just looks like Google bombing. I doubt they'll be any less than like $375-$400 when they're finally released.

In order to order this $175 Nokia N810 WiMax Edition Internet Tablet you have to send this guy an email. Here's what happened when I questioned him about buying one:

Then I asked him how he could sell me one if it hasn't even been released yet and here's what he said:

we are given smaple unit by Nokia it self




which for now we only have 2 in stock

I don't know what this guy's up to but does anybody have any other questions they think i should ask this guy because it seems like he's really trying to get me to buy one.

He is not really trying to get you to buy one, he is really trying to get you to send him $205 bucks for a cardboard box with a rock inside.

This is the clincher:
> > Mode of payment is Western Union Money Transfer..
The above is the 'scam in progress' red alert flag.

Yep.. NEVER send money over Western Union Money Transfer (or how the heck it is called), unless you're sending it to your relatives!

You think he's gonna waste his hard-scammed money shipping you a rock?

If you decide to buy this way, I can offer for less, let's say $100. The only thing is that you won't get the N810 you wanted.

ask him to pay with paypal... LOL..
then he will tell you that this is not possible or just possible with extra costs...
there are thousands of sites from scammers outside.. once i've had contact with one over !MSN! and he really wanted to get me buying some things...
...
btw: he had no luck...

Why are you wasting your time with this SUCKER DEAL. If you can not see he is going to take your money and laugh all the way to the bank, then I advise you to give all your money to a love one who will manage it for you.
