Ok guys, You all seem to be on the ball here on getting the PDA. What are the things to look out for in a scamster EBAY seller who is offering a P800 and a low price? So far I've seen a few
They INSIST on Western Union
They don't speak f**king english
They joined ebay that very day
They provide stock pictures not taken by them
Any and all info would be appreciated. Thanks

what does pseaking english has to do with it???
For your info, the P800 is made in France!!! So english wouldnt mean anything...Not only english speaking countries have the phone released...know that United Arab Emirates was one of the first countries the phone was released.
If i were you, i would only buy the phone from a reputable company, like: expansys.com, allglobaltk.com, gsmphonesourse.com...all those have ebay stores as well(not expansys tho)

Hmm.... With the P800 made in France, and current anti-french sentiment in the U.S. ("Freedom Fries" come to mind) I see a couple possibilities:
1. Americans stop buying the P800
2. Instead of "Made in France" it'll say "Made on the other side of the pond" or "Made over there"

Or just "made by non-ignorant people"

or maybe it will just say, made: where women are women & so are the men!

I would go to the US & sell some p800 phones if i could sell enough in one place, but the gaps between the cities is a very silly design, nobody in europe would even concider such ridiculously huge gaps.
It is a very bad design, from space the US looks like a big spotty kids face (quite ironic).
Hey also ironic is the fact that with new small powerfull electronics it seems that countries who reduce things down are way more popular than countries who want to blow things up.

You don't need to be a rocket scientists to figure out that WMD AND oil is why we are "liberating" Iraq. The French have hated foreigners for years....especially Americans. I fly to France on average 2 times a year for work. The stereotypical rude waiter is no myth. At least now Americans know how the French feel about us publically. Bottom line is they could care less about us as a whole but I won't loose any sleep over it. You can't please all the people all of the time.

With you all the way. Interesting how everyone now hates the US as a country and a people and not just militant Bush! I reckon that makes all the US-hating Arabs just as bigoted as they claim their enemy is. Let's get this straight - French PEOPLE hate American PEOPLE and Brits for that matter - when the US targets political administrations and terrorist factions, not civilians. There are as many anti-war demonstrations in the US, Europe, Australia - all the coalition states- as there are in the Middle East and nice France.
Hate Bush, Blair et al but don't turn this into a race war between ordinary people.
Chirac IS a worm. Non-ignorant, not that that's even a word, hardly describes the 'heroics' of a man solely looking to protect his $350bn investment in Iraqi oil and nuclear power plants.
I say after they've 'decapitated' Saddam, they should castrate Chirac.

Well, I think that before people start cheering the U.S. and U.K. for getting rid of Saddam and his WMDs, it's very important to remember that it was the U.S.A. and U.K. that GAVE HIM those weapons in the first place!! (for use against Iran).
You know the world is crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, France accuses the US of arrogance and Germany refuses to go to war.

P800: new phone, made in old Europe
Posted by lear60man
I have bought and sold quite a bit of things through ebay with 100% feedback. When I am making a purchace for anything over $50 I do the following:
1. Email the seller and get a phone #
2. Pay with credit card if possible, PayPal isn't 100% safe as far as getting your $ back if things go wrong.
3. Give them the CC# over the phone! This forces them to give you a Phone #.
4. Have them take a pic of the screen with the phone on. If it's in Chinese (or something) you know the phone is probably locked or non english version.
5. Email previous buyers from the seller and ask how did the auction go.
6. Never wire funds. Credit cards work everywhere....it's worth the small %.
I bought mine from a retailer in Virginia that had an auction going for a couple units. He had his Phone # in the auction so I called him and asked all the questions I wanted. $729 USD plus shipping and a 4% credit card fee. It was on my door the next morning as advertised. Final US version (Made in France). Which is suppposed to be better build quality than the Maliasian (sp) version. I won't use this forum to advertise but email me Lear60man@aol.com and I'll pass along the info.
