Is this webiste, legitimate? http://coolphones.mobi/?

Question

I was just checking out this website and was wondering if it is legit? http://coolphones.mobi/

What are your thoughts? Should I buy something?

Answer 1

I purchased three things and got my goodies last week.  The price is great.  That made me think twice.  But they make their money from market research.  With my order I received a one page survey and a stamped envelope to fill it out and return it.  It took me about ten minutes.  It was more than worth it.  CoolPhones is just that - Coooool!!! :)

Answer 2

The mobi address is used by lots of companies whose sites can be accessed on web via cellphones.  The site checks out - the trust and verification seals check out.  A fairly well known company.  I intend to take advantage of their current sale.

Answer 3

Thanks for the website.  I bought and picked up at their New York office.  Really nice.  Got an Xbox 360 and some other cool toys.  I highly recommend this store.  They got some great deals on iPods.  Too bad I just bought mine before I heard of them.  Oh well.

Answer 4

I noticed that CoolPhones.mobi has a WebEntrust site seal on the homepage.  That pretty much ensures that the site can be trusted.  Moreover, if you go to WHOIS for GoDaddy.com and enter www.coolphones.mobi you get the owner details that include a seal of authentication and also proof that the site has been in existence for a while. (Just go to the home page of coolphones.mobi and first click on the link that says "Website certification" in the right column.  Next click on the WebEntrust seal.  No way a non-legit site can have these seals for that period of time).   Good to always check these things.

Answer 5

I sell on eBay and have for years.  The CoolPhones name is the name of a promotion.  The company behind it is pretty well known amongst small eBay merchants who rely on it for bulk orders.  I think selling to individuals is new for them but is intended to get more people to become bulk buyers ultimately.  Don't be too paranoid.  This question was just asked, and in order to answer it one must sign on to Yahoo answers.  So what about those who answered the same day.  Anyone can check out any site by the seals which are impossible to maintain if the business doesn't have a good record.  My checks indicate this one does.

Answer 6

I wouldn't know for sure, but it is very strange that the 3 people who've praised the site have only answered this question and nothing else. I'd still wait for a more legit answer.

Answer 7

Clicking on that link is just asking for trouble.......what's a .mobi?......maybe .com,.net. and i might go to your little"web" site.....you can't even get information on a .mobi......recheck the website and typre the site in instead of inserting a hypertext just like this......www.mobi.com

Answer 8

I went for it and ordered a new iPod that I didb't even need.  I am always skeptical of anything online.  My order was one day late but the price was great and I am crazy about my new iPod.  To authenticate the site I checked out the seals on the homepage.  It is legit.
