I got it! I work for CPW over here in the UK, so...you invite me to yours, i'll have a quick look at the phone, print out my 'official' report on some letterheaded paper, or send paypal an email from my cpw email address, and we all win! i holiday overseas, and you get your money back (which admittedly will just pay for my flight...)

Dealio??

On a serious note, I can obviously tell its a fake, if theres anything i can do to help let me know, im sure im in a position paypal would deem 'worthy'

250Ko of memory/ VGA(240×320 pixels)/no touchscreen
And it was clearly mentioned : N900-style :|

If you had paid with paypal, if it is not too late, they probably have a service for this type of conflits.

Does your paypal account link via credit card?

If so ring your credit card company and tell them what happened, they will put a bar stop on the money that they sent to paypal.

It will leave you with a **** credit rating, but in the real world credit ratings are crap and its better to have your money.

"It would be good if someone could create a guide on how to tell a genuine N900 from a fake one"

If Active sync works then its a fake

Don't you know how to read the title?

Title: "Cheap N900-Style QWERTY Keyboard Cellphone, Dual SIM Card and Dual Camera"

Blame yourself for being an idiot for not able to read the title.

Come to think of it, maybe it's better if you make use of Nokia's N900 manual (linked by sjgadsby above) which is clearly an official document than by showing another picture by a forum member of unknown origin...

@maxximuscool: and how did you know that OP have read about that site? He said it was purchased from Ebay.
