I have a real new N900 from Newegg.com that is "Designed in Finland"
and a fakefurbished "new" $200 brick from HK
also "Designed in Finland", I can look at my wife's N900 too if I remember.
I would contact paypal and ebay anyways at least they will put it in the guys file.
Maybe there should be a sticky in the forum that warns against HK/China "new" bad refurb N900s on ebay.
