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
