Motorola MPX- Better than XDA 2? Is this a con?

[Jeenious]

Better than the XDA 2? Quite possibly cause its smaller, got a built in keyboard, 1.2 megapixel camera, landscape mode and its a lot cheaper than the XDA 2 on here:

Motorola says the phone isnt released yet - How is it possible for them fo sell it? Is this a con web site trying to get people to slash out their money for phones that aint released yet?

I'm 99% sure it's not real. 399 Euro? I wish, it should be almost 2x that...

Well, there's definitely something fishy about that site. I tried to register, but didn't get a mail with the Authorisation Code. So at least it seems they are not trying to steal your money.

It is correct that the MPx has not yet been released (and afaik it'll be another few month before they actually will release it). And the picture they show is outdated - there is confirmed information that Motorola changed the keyboard layout to something more conventional. The photo does not reflect this change.

Also, the price seems way too low.

I wouldn't buy from them, even if their shop system actually worked. :-)

Id like to think that they actually were selling that product at that price. However Ive been stung before with dodgy internet dealers for a few hundred pounds so Im trying to be wary not to splash my cash.

The XDA 2 is great, but you cant exactly take it with you a nightclub and ask for a girls number with it without looking like a proper geek! Its got a lot of good points, but also a lot of negatives too.

This IS a con scheme. I emailed motorola themeselves and they replied saying that the product has not been released yet anywhere in the world but it should be released this fall (autumn! :P)
