This is probably one of the pre-production units with a sticker that says "Property of Research In Motion. NOT FOR SALE". Bad idea to buy one. Besides the insane price, RIM always disables the PINs of these devices the second the model goes on sale to the public. The ones with disabled PINs get no data services - forget email, PIN messaging, web browsing, etc. Once disabled by RIM the device will do telephone calls and SMS messages only. This happens with every single model RIM releases these days. Some dishonest developer or RIM employee peels off the warning sticker and has his dirtbag cousin or butt-buddy from high school sell it on eBay. Don't get involved!
