Very fishy: the web address is spelled "wolrd" and the product is listed as in stock even though it's not supposed to be released until Q1 2006.

Quite a professional looking site but definately fake. The site is owned by a guy in Los Angeles and was first registered last week.

What's the deal then? Obviously a scam, but say I decided to buy using VISA credit card, will the company pick up the tab? I'm obviously not gonna do this, just wondering how protected consumers are against fraudsters like this?

they will take your money, then NOT send you a phone.
so you're screwed, have to go to visa, explain, maybe get your money back.

use common sense ... you know the phone has been announced a few weeks ago, the mobile wrlod domain is spelled wrong, what more hints do you need?

if someone falls for that ... tough luck. you ain't got my pity!

Reported these guys to the serious fraud office last weekend. Now I see they are off line.
