Well, I checked it out and there was a big "Order" button. I clicked on it, and it got me to a screen where I could input my "order info". It took all the standard order info stuff, except for any payment method info (or billing address info for that matter). There was a suspicious radio button required item about "Place a $300 HK deposit". Then I clicked "submit".....and that was it. Nothing but a dialog box to inform me that "My Information Has Been Submitted". So now I am going to get SPAMMED by this place to buy a Bold from them. Whoopie...my day is now complete.
These guys, like almost everyone else out there that claims to be "selling" the Bold, are full of s**t. They are trying to generate pre-orders, and they have a deceptive enough system set up that it was even able to trick a reasonably intelligent person like myself into submitting information to them (fortunately nothing that I don't care about being public). I cannot post what I really think about people like this.
I guess that is why there was no press release huh...
Someone with more programming experience than me should write a script that generates 1000 fictitious "orders" per minute using random names and addresses on these guys' site. Hey, when you take "orders" for a product that you don't actually have...then it seems fair that the orders should be placed by "buyers" that also don't exist right? Seems like a fair trade....
