    All these sites are scams or selling bad fakes. AVOID. You honestly think you'd get a phone like that for €300?

    Can find any genuine results for it online just rumors! nothin on the nokia website, the price is way to low and the site in general looks a bit on the iffy side!

    Not a chance in hell this phone will only cost 300€ sim free brand new if it was out

    If its too good to be true it is!

    Pure bull!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,173 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Have to think this is a scam, prices are way too good, like they have an N97 for cheaper than an N96! Also have the wrong picture up for the N85!
