Not sure why anyone would pay that much for a phone and especially on a pre-release.

 
 
Posted by HYPERanim8or Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

How could it have never been opened if the guys is holding it to take a picture of it?

 
 
Posted by kidaquarius Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

the "SB COMMUNICATIONS" picture could not be any worse.

i wouldn't buy it anyway, but honestly, the guy can't even take a legit picture of the box and it's contents?

i think it just pre sale and it might really be coming out or it like the iphone a knock off model that they are selling

 
 
Posted by sidmenda Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I'm guessing this could reach at least $1300. (Considering what the Onyx is going for...)

if you look in the bottom right corner really closely, you will see the BGR logo...That is for sure a fake..I'd stay away from this thing like H1N1...lol.. Just a heads up everyone!!

considering the storm 1 that i have right now is possibly the worst smartphone ever as far as random things screwing up on it im surprised anyone would bid on that

WORD

 
 
Posted by joryoung Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Im saying $2,000

 
 
Posted by FiremanNC08 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Would never bid or pay that much, scam alert

 
 
Posted by t_d_harvey Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

$1,000!?

gtfoh!!! Even if it is real...which it is porbably not...would never pay that much for a phone, even if it is pre-release!

This is the same pic from the first spy pic of S2. $1000 is too damn much. Whoever pays that kind of moneyto get it is a fool. Either way, I can wait til october when my guys will find a couple of boxes of BB storm2 on the side of the road and give me one $900 cheaper. ;-)

 
 
Posted by alicklee Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

hook me up ;)

 
 
Posted by krifor03 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Yeah same here!

 
 
Posted by storm83 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

wish I could but too much work on my part to get ya'll an S2. The barbershop is the place to be to get $hit. I can get bold, curve etc. Just not interested. I keep poking the screen on them cause im so used to a touch screen. LOL
Patiently waiting for my S2. Besides ya'll might be FEDs.

 
 
Posted by JoelTruckerDude Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

So, you might be a THIEF, either way it all comes around in the long run. Enjoy it now.

 
 
Posted by storm83 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

If someone comes up to you and offer a storm 2 all wrapped up in the in the box unopen for $120, you telling me that you would say no. Come on Mr. Clean. I'm no thief. I know a good deal when I see one. Some people on this site will offer me thier sister for a night to get a storm 2. Just because I don't plan to go the VZW store and wait a year and half for my upgrade doesn't make me a thief. A bargain hunter. That's what you should call me. I just might get 2 of those boxes for the heck of it. At that price..Please..
Patiently waiting for RIM to release my boxes from the warehouse :-)~

LOL LOL

 
 
Posted by electricgamer Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I'll play it safe & wait for a release.....never know even with good feedback rating

 
 
Posted by Snarfler Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I'll start building storm 2's if I can sell them on ebay for a grand each.

 
 
Posted by Revolutionary Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Wait, people still use Ebay??? What is this, 1999?

 
 
Posted by LadyBug1383 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

As of 2:30 EST, the bid is $1,125.00 with 46 bids. That's a lot for a phone.

 
 
Posted by germster Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I bet its someone who works at RIM. For sure.

 
 
Posted by yacoby54 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I love the New, Never been opened condition when they are holding it up to the camera with finger prints all over the screen. You would think the guy would have taken two seconds to wipe off the screen to make it look a little nicer.

 
 
Posted by jlanelson Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

RIM will buy it back, trace it back to the person who sold it and lay down the hammer! THAT would be truely ironic!

 
 
Posted by screenname Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

It's just hard for me to believe that any MOBILE PHONE, (smart or otherwise) pre-release, post-release, stolen, used, etc... is worth over $1000.00 to anyone. I guess some people have more money than they know what to do with. Of course as I'm typing this I can look to my right at an add banner by Google from www.AddictedToPhones.com were they are offering the Storm for $829.00. Does anyone REALLY pay that!?! I love my storm and I'll probably grab a Storm 2 when it's released (I have an upgrade option available) but I'll NEVER pay more than $200.00 for any cell phone and that's pushing it. Oh well supply & demand baby!

 
 
Posted by krifor03 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

The fist auction is OBVIOUSLY a scam; their main photo is from engadget, it was cropped and badly at that. They didn't even TRY to get rid of the rest of Engadgets logo. That sellers had about as much face time with the S2 as most of the people on this website. The second listing looks to me as its legit though. But its still more than what I would pay with upgrade pricing so :P to that

 
 
Posted by CasyCasy Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I'd rather wait and pay my fee for only a year upgrade.. That's just not right!!

 
 
Posted by BrandonRayy Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

I just bought the Blackberry Storm like a month ago,
Now they've already got a new one.
This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
I hope it's a fake and wont be a major thing.

 
 
Posted by allboutvzwStorm Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

It is not that serious, I smell BS. Why in the world would I give away $1,000 + dollars for something I can get from Verzion for like $200, when it's available. I ain't just gone give away money...

 
 
Posted by UPSTREAMMIAMI Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

who ever buys this is gonna feel so stupid when it comes out... cuz of how cheap is gonna be

 
 
Posted by JoelTruckerDude Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Sent a question to the Seller yesterday asking "What kind of guarantee they have if the Pin gets killed" as is the case with most Pre Release devices and can you guess what response I got, you guessed it NONE !!!!

 
 
Posted by LittleCrash84 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

As of 3:55 PST I do not see either one anymore... where could they have gone? Anybody else getting a dead link?

 
 
Posted by Storm5150 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Luckily it doesn't appear anyone had their heart set onthis since the auction has been removed, cough, cough RIM I suspect

 
 
Posted by jackbox Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

RIM had the listing removed before it ended. Probably because all pre-release units are their property and not to be sold.

 
 
Posted by RaceFan73 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

No. 1 was over $1,200 with something like 6 hours to go, but both auctions have since been pulled.

 
 
Posted by bomkweesha Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Wonder how fast RIM has this auction pulled (if they haven't already...)

 
 
Posted by The Antagonist Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

Looks like they already have...

 
 
Posted by ChristopherGibson Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

They don't appear to be there now! Lol. Did they get sold or did they get forced off?????? Anyone know?

 
 
Posted by cinmay Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1000 days ago

expensive
bad price

This listing (120460235812) has been removed, or this item is not available.

•Please check that you've entered the correct item number

•Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing.

I'm shocked and appalled with eBay's actions! The question is WHAT TOOK SO LONG?

They were suspiciously faster in removing all 5 of OctoMom II's RAFFLES (auction???) to name her kid than they were to remove this single auction.

But what I want to know is - who's the bigger LOSER - the dork who posted the Storm II or Mother Hen for thinking some idiot would actually bid AND PAY $20,000.00 for the priviledge of naming her not-born-yet kid? Hell for that kind of cash he should BONER too, don'tyathink.

 
 
Posted by palmberry Friday, Aug 28, 2009 999 days ago

LMAO. I'll pitch in money to buy her and her litter a one-way trip to Europe. Europe's liberal society loves losers like that. One less dumbed down family to contribute to the downfall... :D

Ebay sucks, they can go F themselves.

 
 
Posted by wil22 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 999 days ago

I'd rather just buy a brand new laptop and do lots of things with it than buying a $1500 phone. Save your money. RIM keeps making new phones every 3 month. Why won't they just instead improve the OS softwares and the others. RIM I give you 5/5 for new phones quarterly. RIM stands for (RECESSION IN MOTION)
