P900 is quite an expensive piece of pda/phone...
my advice is u buy through your local authorised
dealer.
the price could seems attractive but u run the risk of receiving a faulty unit and u may have problem having the warranty coverage issue.
i have read so negative feedbacks from traders or buyers from ebay itself. u never know who u are dealing with....

Ebay… well if I was you I would not get it from Ebay cause you never know what is gonna happen.
I brought 2 p800’s of ebay from 2 diff sellers but only received 1 GRRRR and Ebay will tell you the same thing they told me if you choose to get it and end up with no product, and that is that they cant help you.
But it still is up to you, after all it is your hard earned money, but if you do, its at YOUR OWN RISK!!!

oh ok thanks for your thoughts.. maybe i shouldn't get it from ebay.. was planning to get 5 units and sell the rest.. @ $400 a piece that would be a steal coz i could sell it for $700 each here in the philippines..

I buy and sell phones on ebay quite a lot, and I've never had a problem.
If you're sensible then you can protect yourself.
1..Buy from somebody in the same country as you, preferably as close as possible
2..Ask them for their address and check it
3..Pay with a credit card if possible (they give you better insurance and fraud protection)
4..Before parting with your money get a "ransom" photo - a picture of the thing you are buying on a copy of a local newspaper
5..Get a parcel number from the seller when they've shipped the item
6..Stay in contact with the seller as often as you can until you have the item. Dont spam them, but dont let them forget that THEY entered into a contract too.

I have bought a t610 on ebay last year. had no problems. i would spend only what im prepared to lose now though cos high value products are very attractive to scammers.

Oh, yeah, avoid "multi-buy" deals like the plague
Things like "20 x P900 for $1000", and anything that requires payment by Western Union
