I also was wanting to purchase a N900 on ebay but most of the listings are from Chinese sellers. I have contacted one of them who swears it is all genuine, at least as far as the phone goes, some of the originally included accessories that normally would have came with the phone if purchased in the US or Europe from official sources for some reason are not included, I couldn't really get a straight answer out of him regarding that. I am still hesitant to buy one from a Chinese seller, they are pretty sneaky on ebay. One of the sellers is obvious that he has 2 or 3 different accounts with identical feedback but different User ID's so you have to be careful with who you buy from on there.
