There are a couple of websites that are selling Xperia for 400USD before its launch. Is this legitimate? Does Sony Ericsson have a policy of throwing a few units in the market before launch? One of the websites quote as below
"We have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 available in stock and ready for shipment.
The Phones are Brand New, Unlocked, Factory Sealed, Original and comes with a 1 Year
Warranty. We are running a market introduction sales as we are licenced Sony Ericsson Distributors. This is the same fully functioned phone you will purchase on the release date and we have just 20units in stock for sale.
The Price will be more expensive after our Bonus sales.
Our Bonus Offer: Buy 3 Units and Get 1 Extra unit free Plus Free Delivery to
your destination."
Please Advice |

Funny how they still think it has 128MB RAM.  The first website in particular screams hoax. Never buy from a sh*t looking website. They don't put money or effort into making it look good for a reason! And then the second website has what I think is a spelling mistake in its name: Mercantec... Shouldn't that be Merchantec?

Buy 3, get 1 free? On a limited pre-release phone that everyone wants? Hoax for sure!
Just wire your US dollars by Western Union to our Nigerian account and we send right away, promise!

I think hoax is the wrong word. More like scam or fraud...
Theres a way to trace websites isn't there? I bet it'll lead you to Nigeria...
