Odd that a seller with so much feedback (1100) and a positive rating of 99.5% would suddenly take to scamming. £400 GBP is a lot of money for even the coolest new Blackberry. Plus, if it's a pre-production unit there could be trouble obtaining support should it ever become necessary.
Looks like he's a legit seller and has sold phones before.

i would tip that this is cheaper than the retail 9000, the stuff on the inside however might vary slightly ;)
imho its at a pretty good price point if you love to early adopt.
hmm...i don't know about that. Since pricing and such for it only has speculation and predictions. it could be way less than what we think. but who knows

I was offered well over 5 grand f I could get my hands on the first pearl (8100)I saw. It didnt release for another 5 or 6 months. But I got to play with it because I a guy I built a house for works for RIM. I couldn't ever catch him at home to ask him about the deal. I stood to make a nice chunk of change by just being the middle man. So people who have liquid cash will pay anything for a device or gadget that no one else has.
keep in mind that even if this device is legit, its internals may/will vary from the final retail version, even though indications that its an engineer/pre-production markings are no where to be found.
