Hello all

Here's an ad for a cell phone of a brand new company

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Out-of-nowhere-a-company-named-xodiom-announces-a-Snapdragon-805-powered-beast-for-329-and-no-invites_id63503

https://www.xodiom.com/


It accepted as payment only bank transfer and bitcoins.

Does anyone know or can say that it is trustworthy.

Or if you do not mind can risk some BTC? By well of the BTC.  :P

Don't know. But the story says it's probably a scam. Not a good sign.

Seems unrealiable to me, if you are looking to buy a phone though lots of people sell unlocked ones for bitcoin. I'd reccomend going that route with a prepaid service such as h2owireless or tmobile(though tmobiles network isnt so hot in most areas)

Never heard of them and I'd guess they are a scam. Why not try a OnePlus, Xiaomi or Nexus 5?

The connection isn't private and I would wait till I see some devices in retail.

It looks very nice, I like the design. I agree with TrianglePythagoras. 

Seems to be a definite scam. There is an update at the bottom of that article explaining why.

Hmm, I wouldn't trust unknown companies like that. Popular smartphones are the same or even better, so why would you take chances?

Looks fine to me , website looks good could not find any proof of scam

Look at their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/xodiom

Turning a lot of hate.

The conclusion is that there is no any cell announced on this site until it appear. The best mobile phones with lower price remain the Xiaomi, I'll look for some.

If you need MI4 please let me know. None in stock currently but can order.

If you do order them, how do you know you will receive them?

Looks like it is a scam,no videos of the phone,they accept bitcoins and wire transfers which you can't chargeback...and so on..

We've been around for 18 months. No scamming here :)

For what it's worth, we're also auctioning a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 if you're interested - http://www.onewallet.io/Listing/Details/448834/NO-RESERVE-AUCTION-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-N910U-32GB-4G-LTE-Black

It does look dodgy, but I see little reason why a phone can't rival the oneone without the invite crap.

I think they provide you with a tracking number. You can also probably request for an escrow, incase you are worrie(not sure if its offered anymore)

No, I meant if you order the phones from the supplier, how sure are you that you will receive stock of it?  I mean,   xodiam has been pretty dodge so far

Also the page is`nt working lol !! site down means its a scam!

well if the price is almost equal to iphone or Galaxy series i suggest to buy from coins4tech its a bestest site deilvery is fast and almost ships all over the world !

Definitely a scam,

Website is down xD

Do not risk it, you are an idiot if you risk it by paying by a non-refundable payment method.

Just checked up on them, there is absolutely no movement whatsoever. Definitely a scam.
