Nokia N810 Wimax for $250?
 
I found this:

http://www.0880-hottronicshop.com/no...et-tab810.html

but that sounds too low to be true. Is the Wimax version even out yet?

Not sure I would beleive this. There are some simple spelling errors on the site easily picked up in design package and the prices of all products seem too low for new items. Additionally a company using a @yahoo.com address instead their own domain name doesn't inspire trust.

"(c) your store name here" on the bottom of the page too!

Anyone had any experience using these people before?

The address of the shop (in Encino, CA) is listed on the "about us" page. On that page it says that "You may also come to our office to pickup items." Perhaps somebody from that area can verify for the rest of us?

The postal address is fake:

0880-hottronic Shop
304 Wenthy ave
Encino, CA 93010
USA

There is no Wenthy Avenue in Encino. In fact, 93010 ZIP corresponds to Camarillo, CA where there is Encino Avenue. 304 Encino Avenue, Camarillo, CA corresponds to a vacant lot.

There is no way this is legit. Their product description for the N810WE is just a blog post copy+pasted. In fact it says that there is no pricing info on the N810WE right below where they have the price listed. :p The page with their address still has template place holders for warranty and return policies, and as fms pointed out, their address isn't even real. In summary: Avoid!

I sent an email to the guy to see if it was a preorder:

Hello Adrian,

This is no Pre- Order as we have it in stock.

Like most of you, I have my doubts.

How could you say they are fake?!

They say, on their About page, "We are an Honest company based in the US. We have Products made by the real Manufactures! ... So, Relax. You've found the right place."

Sounds real to me!

I'm not serious.

Will they take my fake credit card to buy their fake product?

Yes, but they'll only fake ship it to your fake address
