Nobody said i believed this site.
It was to good to be true, such low prices.
In Belgium the P800 is 850 Euro thats a little bit to much for me at the moment.
Anyone who has an idea where you can get cheaper P800's where people can be trusted?

Same question here... I'm in Switzerland but I wouldn't mind ordering on-line from any trustable company in Europe. |

Definately a scam. Here in NYC there is a store on 17th street selling p800 for $725 including tax if you pay cash. Also, the sony ericsson site is selling them for $650 US. Buying from manufacturer is no doubt your best bet. |

my personal opinion is that any "bargain" lower than 650euro for a P800 are definitely SCAMs; except of course the network operators deals (with a subscription for 1,2,3 or whatever years they want to have) |

Personally I would not for various reasons.
1) You'll pay more than if you do some research to find a better price
2) You won't get a receipt so your local Sony Service Center will want to charge you for everything
3) You don't know how long the phone is still under warranty
4) Always the outside chance you'll get screwed
A tip.... go to shopping.yahoo.com and do a search for p800, then list by increasing price. You'll get up to around $600US before you hit the actual phones. Thats the cheapest I found it without a contract. Like I said above, I got mine for $597 with shipping off a Yahoo! Shopping site. |

Personally I always search on froogle (www.froogle.com), using them with a search word of just 'P800' I found some pretty good prices ($590 from Expansys).

Of course it's a scam ffs. If you look at the img src for the pictures of the phone it's just been taken off an ebay auction. I pity the poor scammer who thinks that's going to work. |
