maybe legit. In Ebay Spain, I founded brand new n900 for 180 € (arround 200-210 USD maybe)
Hope this helps

Recently some hard-to-distinguish (before You have it in your hand, actually) fake N900's appeared. Of course, they're not powered by Maemo, and resemble real N900 only visually.

People have told me about good stories and negative ones, though the good ones were always in reference to the HongKong models priced more than $300. I think generally when you purchase from HongKong you are getting refurbished models.

I got my first N900 a little over a month ago. Unfortunately, half of that time it has had a broken LCD. I have ordered two more new (hopefully) N900s since. Tracking these things down is really quite a chore.

Needless to say, if this is your first N900 and you are affiliated with IT you will really enjoy it.

Good luck,

Abe

I took a gamble and ordered a "new" N900 for $220 from a Chinese seller. I'll be happy to report how it turns out here. The feedback for the seller was extremely positive, so here's hoping!

I just bought the RIM BB PlayBook for $200 (in Sydney it holds same price, never got fire sale).

You guys think I should hold on to it?

At the very least you should ask to see a screenshot before ordering, to see if it's really Maemo or some knock-off.

I havent seen any magic on the Playbook so you will have to judge if a web browser for $200 is worth it.

Yep. At the price I'm more or less prepared to be happy with a refurb in good condition. Also went through the seller's history with the N900 in particular.

And most importantly, more than ready to contest if it's an outright scam.
