Guys,
Right, an offer to the Admin team only. If you lot don;t ask too many questions, I can get a small number of Nokia 7650's for around the �200 mark. Now sure I could go out and flog em on EBay for a stupid mark-up, but I know a few people here would like their hands on one and this is probably the best way.
I'll be getting one mid-late next week to test the supply lines. Luckily they are cash on delivery to myself so the likelyhood I'll get stung is a lot less.
No promises, but if anyone wants to put their name down, please do so. I'll prolly ask you to post me a cheque when the deal is set up, which I'll cash into a secondary account I have - then when phones come through I can send em straight on to you, or return the money as a cheque from myself.
I'd love one, but I don't start my job till December the 2nd 😞
So I'll ask Switchblade in the middle of December then?
😮 That's less than I paid on contract! 😮
If the offer is still open nearer to the end of this month I may have one.
No probs - I'll obviously want to make sure that the one I get is working properly, and the whole thing isn;t a scam - which is why I was presently suprised they'll accept me transfering the money after recieving the phones...
Pencil in me asking for definite numbers around the 21st (2 weeks), with the intention f cheques arriving to me 25th-28th.

Hence the "Ask No Questions" line - I'm not sure I'd get a straight answer anyway - BTW they are fully boxed, manualled, etc, so nothing obviously illegal

Working at immigration, so being a government agency I probably won't see a pay check until at least February. Hmms, probs have the 9910 out by then lol.
That would be the Daewoo.
Good news guys! It's a scam! Fired over a payment that wouldn't be opened till after delivery, and lo and behold it was cashed asap. Luckily I sent it hideously short of money and prepared to take the angry email asking why it was short of money.
No email.
It now turns out that J2theIZZO has recieved an almost identical offer over the email, except this time for a P800... and it smelled even dodgier than this one.
May I suggest we put something in the news warning people of this? After all, the big companies browsing this site will then see us taking care of their punters and products.
Agreed, this guy lived in the UK, until I asked to meet him then he worked in the US.
I've asked him to send me a picture of the P800 on a newspaper (At right angles to certain things and on certain screens).....No relply.
Ewan,
It stinks that you lost some money, but it could have been a lot worse if you didn't have your wits about you.
I'm sure some people won't/haven't been so careful. :-?
Do you think an announcement or a news post would be better...Or both.
Izzo 😮
Definetely this is the sort of news we want to get out there. I'll talk to you later about this, but if you an Izzo get compare notes we can issue a specific warning via the news and forums. Sorry ot didn't work out Ewan, we'll get something sorted out ASAP, even if it means AAS has to buy one sim free for sharing.

News post on front page - viible then in forums, to punters visitn, and also companies visiting us (always thinking the PR angle and Nokia/Symbian/etc visiting - be nice if they saw soemthing this responsible).

[quote="Dazler"]Sorry to hear that Ewan.[/quote]
Thanks for the thoughts, and I probably had better odds on getting the phone than if I bought 30 lottery tickets!
😮 I've just had an email from the guy promising me pictures as requested tommorow 😮
Let him show 2 p800 at once 😉 I even saw one and took pictures, but if you want to get 2 ... that won't be easy 😉
I've got him to take a photo of it of an American newspaper at a right angle to the date which will be tommorows date, on the screen should be the calander! 😉
I'm still not holding my breath though! :roll:
Ever get the feeling someone's following you? 😉
You really like my ass, don't you ? 😛
😮 No, but I like your AAS 😮
Speed reply
I'm working 😊 And very hard actualy, so no time for speed 😉 Will be showing it off in the next couple of days. In the meanwhile sorry for the people waiting on the Symbian.info review (p800), activedesk review and irc.
It won't take that much longer, I swear! 😊
Shame, show up the con artists.

Any news?
Nope, he was bluffing!
Probably hoping I would send the money anyway!
GRRR..... :evil:
