too good to be true?
 
I did email the guy, lets see what he says.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/mob/1726709393.html

btw, I did read one craigslist add a while back that said it was the chinese (not the new hong kong) n900...if this is what this guy is selling how will I know?

thoughts please thanks...

no. this won't be a genuine nokia n900. they have similar ads all over craigslist.

don't get scammed! don't even communicate with them is my advice regarding the matter.

thanks, since I specifically asked if it was a genuine Nokia, I doubt I will even get a response.

Ive seen ads for these chinese rip offs they dont even have a touch screan and something like 256mb total memory, its like a copy of a n900 case with the cheapest shite you can imagine inside it.

If it looks too good to be true then it is too good to be true!

I was once scammed in such thing for N96. Atleast here its only 150, I spent 500 and ended up with chinese ****. He can even respond saying its genuine as in my case they did and later the whole site vanished.

Or stolen and on black list. To good indeed.

what exactly does "on black list" mean?

I buy the phone and somehow it will not connect or cannot get updates?

or does that mean everyone here will hate me and blacklist me for getting a killer deal on a stolen phone (just kidding I wouldn't touch stolen property).

Phones reported stolen will have their IMEI blacklisted, making them unusable.
