I must add that I regularly get questions from people wanting more info about the stuff I sell.
So someone is using my name and e-mail address, as I never had any e-bay account.
You have to be ESPECIALLY careful of those emails because they are actually phishing for your login/password. On the surface, it all looks legit, as if you are getting a question from a buyer such as: " when are you going to ship ..." Or " does this item come with ...". The email will come in looking JUST like the one you'd get from eBay if you were actually selling something and getting questions, however if you click on the link inside this email, it will take you to a web site which looks identical to ebay's login site and ebay will even be part of the url, however it will likely be in the form of ebay.blahblahblah.com, which is NOT ebay. If the basic site URL does not END on .ebay.com, then I'd be suspicious. Another phishing scam related to ebay going around is something of the sort: " You have won a $100 gift certificate for ebay, all you have to do is login to ebay and stay logged in for an hour"
Anyways - as I said, I've been a victim of ebay scams and frauds so I've learned my lesson. Anytime you get an email with a question from a member for something you supposedly sold (and you didn't) - go to ebay's web site directly and report this email to ebay. DO NOT follow the links inside said emails, that's how they capture your id/password.
PS Sorry for going so far offtopic...

@Tervel, that's ok I think there's relevance in there for everyone!
Looking specifically back to the K800, with the exception of security issues and piracy of account details, do you think there would be any shortcomings with some of the early sales of the K800 on Ebay?
Where might one (in general) suppose that the seller would get the phones from?
Would there be chances that the software would be brown, etc, etc?
Only after opinions here, as no doubt it's hard for anyone to deliver a definitive answer!

I'd have 2 issues with getting early release phones from ebay - 1)warranty, 2)firmwware upgradeability. If these early versions are not covered under a specific SE warranty, anything that might go wrong with them would be uncovered. If SE specifically does NOT provide firmware upgrades to these early release phones, then you're stuck on beta, pre-release firmware forever. Not saying that that's the case of the phones on ebay, just something to look into before buying.

Most users feel tempted to buy one of theese early versions but beside the cons already mentioned, we don't know how much the phone has changed beside the cybershot sticker... I will defenitely wait, after all, it's almost out

With regards to the last post and it's question, i personally contacted this person and he states that he is taking delivery of these handsets at the end of the auction. This is why he had the auction run for a specified duration. He also states that he acquired them from Romania. I am an EBay member and buy and sell alot of mobile phones (my user id is 303111) I have 100% feedback with 293 points and i am a power seller. You are definately correct in saying that honesty and credibility play an important factor when purchasing any item from EBay. I offer a 100% service always as this is the way i expect to be treated myself. I am a Sony Ericsson fanatic (i own 1 of each, W810i,W550i,W900i) I am seriously considering buying 1 of these K800i as the specification is awesome.

a few comparison shots between k790 and n93:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-n93-cam.shtml
n93 seems better than k790..as according to the review..it's better because of the size of the actual phone unit and not the camera module according to the review..
try to use babelfish to understand the review since it's in russian btw..
