Default G1 for very cheap - whats the catch?
I just found this online. I never heard of this site before and I"ve been looking for fine print but I don't see the catch. Is this legit?

Thats sounds too good to be true, $199 without a contract? No website verification? I wouldn't mess around with it

What's the point of an online store that advertises something you can't really buy?

The point is to put the price and the website onto the Thread title so ppl open up useless thread.

Android Team crew - should we go ahead and erase this? It looks like a spam to me... website link provided in the thread do not even work.... For the time being I have edited Thread title.
