I have come across several chinese merchants who offered me through the internet that they have the storm 9530 at USD 145 to 200. This offer came through several suplliers. Can anyone pls confirm me whether such a price is possible? or are they just fakes??

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

My error - it's just 'most current' not official. Mea culpa.

Sorry, accidentally posted in wrong thread.

For $145 you'll probably gets just the case. $200 gets you the case, battery, and the keyboard (no mobo). Nowhere does it say that you will be getting the actual, complete unit. Buyer beware!
