A Storm for $1000 is too good to be true?
Not in my book.

Yes, notice that you can ONLY preorder the device (although it does say available on October 28th--it isn't).

I did some looking around, they seem to be legit. But the fact they have tri-band HSPA listed makes me wonder. And a lot of other specs are off as well.

What do you see that is off? I'm looking to get something like this and stay on AT&T. I have contacted them and have been told that it will work on the AT&T 3G network and does have wi-fi. I'm not sure if the browser will work or not.

Without a browser, you would not be able to any internet browsing.

1)The Storm doesn't have triband HSPA. 2) Processor is wrong. 3) It doesn't have 192MB of RAM 4) It does not have Wifi.

Spammer! Every phone they have is listed at about $1,000. I think they deliver pizzas too.

Thumbs down

They do note that there are no manufacturer's warranties because their products are imports. There is no actual address given on the site.

And most importantly, the BBB gives them an F! 'nuff said.

Ooh! This is the most important thing I've seen! Thanks for the heads up. Especially with the BBB!

It appears they have a phone listed that has not been created yet.

Thanks.

Or..

5) BlackBerry Storm doesn't have TouchFLO. It has ClickThrough.
6) It isn't a 3.3" Screen.
7) The Storm doesn't have an FM Radio

And the list keeps on going... I wouldn't buy from them if it was legitimate because they can't even get the facts of the device right.
