They sell contracts on behalf of the carriers, in return they get a set subsidy to offer customers depending on monthly charge and the carriers dont have to do all the technical and warranty stuff.
Basically they buy a load of phones from the manufactures and you just choose the contract you want to go with it. (in the UK at least)

Sounds like something Carphone Warehouse do / used to in the UK too.

ps: those looking for an uber deal, seems like Tmobile and Vodafone will sell these and some peeps will grab one on upgrade and sell it on ebay and CEX, meaning you can usually grab yourself a deal.
I bought my E71 from CEX about a week after it came out, brand new, unbranded for £220.

Could this not be possible that this reseller actually buys it from vodaphone in case vodaphone would be confirmed that they are selling the N900's ?
In that case it would be branded, locked and even customized in who knows what way !
Would anybody help clarify this please ? the deal sounds irresistable , its a whopping £100 less !
