I wouldn't waste my money on that. I believe T-mobile will release the Magic soon, so why spend $1000 on a phone that really only could be fully utilized on T-mobile and not on any other network. I don't see this getting many bids. But i could be wrong some people feel the need to spend $ on stuff like this to each their own.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eroded Fallacy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 28th 2009 7:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google's altruistic Ion giveaway instantly rewarded with blind greed]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</guid><description><![CDATA[The auction no longer has a buy it now.

An off-contract - not unlocked - iPhone 3G is 700 bucks.  One guy sells a limited-run phone for 1000 and engadget complains about "an over abundance of capitalism."  If someone wants to pay 5000 bucks, let them.  Either way, it's not really your problem or your money.  Pathetic, man... really.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dolf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 28th 2009 11:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google's altruistic Ion giveaway instantly rewarded with blind greed]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</guid><description><![CDATA[Haha, sounds to me like Chris leans pretty hard to the left. Otherwise, why even take the time to come up with the statement, "Call it a sign of the times, call it a Google I/O attendee who just didn't really like the Ion, call it an overabundance of Western-style capitalism, call it man's almost instinctive need to generate profit..." when you could've just said something like, looking to pick up an HTC Magic before anyone else? Hell, it's not an iPhone so you'd probably do the same too. Shit, I'd dump it and get myself an N97. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 28th 2009 5:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google's altruistic Ion giveaway instantly rewarded with blind greed]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/28/googles-altruistic-ion-giveaway-instantly-rewarded-with-blind-g/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good call on the N97.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dolflundgren]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 28th 2009 5:26PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
