There are no Nokia N950 anywhere in the world that anyone would sell. Period.

edit: as said before in this thread, all N950 were made in Finland, so no, there are no hidden warehouses in china or malaysia.

and @vi_: I have a N950 and I'm not a developer. So what?
well, how did you get it?

all white n9 are supposedly made in finland too, but they are selling white chassis online from china...

seems there is a good possibility that there are several 'loose' n950s or at least many components floating around out there.

those with enough patience and money will probably be able to get one somehow.

a few observations
1. Western Union is a big no no. used by scammers most of the time.
2. the company is a malaysian company (Sdn Bhd means Pte Ltd). have a look here http://www.gtek.com.tw/en/contact.php?mw=4&design=4 and you will see the malaysian contact information.
3. in the 4th picture it shows AT&T as the carrier. no way is this the phone that they have in malaysia since AT&T doesn't exist in m'sia. so those pics are probably stolen from another site.
4. if you download any of the images they posted to you (i used the 3rd one), and do a google image search, you will see this image is not unique to them. they took images from other websites.
5. save yourself the cash and buy a N900 or you can try reverse scamming them. :P

4. They claim to have lots of N950 in Malaysia (very, very few are there, as said, produced in Finland, the majority are still there and in Germany)
5. They claim to have N950 (very, very few are in the hands of people at all)
6. They claim to sell N950 (nobody would sell it, even if allowed)
7. They use photos from other people (take "their" photos and perform a google image search)
8. They have poorly removed the "NOT FOR SALE DEVELOPER DEVICE" text with paint or similar from the back of the N950. "Their" photo Click Reggies photo: Click flickr or Click direct
9. They have a strange pricing
10. Do you need more reasons?

They're fake as fakes can be.
Sometimes I can be so fool...you win xD
