Purchasing Unlocked Phones from Overseas

Has anyone had any success purchasing brand new, unlocked, GSM phones from over seas? I really want to get the N91 but it's not offered in the US yet (big surprise). And it's doubtful that it will make it to the US market within a reasonable timeframe.
I've tried eBay only to be tempted by a con artist claiming to use an escow service. And I've looked into a number of websites (mostly from Barcelona, Spain), but they all want a cash payment via Western Union. Like I'd ever do that!
So I am about to give up and settle for another crappy US phone that doesn't have the features I want.
Please help!

the n91 isnt available anywhere yet mate, not till next year, anyone who can only accept payment through western union is clearly a fraudster. (western union being non traceable)

🙄 Do you ask for payment upfront?

I see your account is no longer active. Well, well, well. That's not a good sign, is it?

Probably upfront and through western union so it can't be tracked. You may or may not get your phone but it's probably stolen as is anyway.
