BlackBerry Kickstart 8220 surfaces on eBay, trigger fingers get itchy

Not that you won't be able to buy this thing from carriers here shortly, but there's just nothing quite like being the first on your block to own a new handset. For those with cash to burn and an insatiable desire to play with RIM's forthcoming Kickstart 8220, look no further than eBay. Up for auction right now is an unlocked version of the aforesaid mobile, but it looks as if the final bid will end up well over a grand. Good luck (being patient).

it is a fake because it has a AZERTY not a QWERTY. notice the "q" and "a" are switched and the "Z" and "w" are also switched!!!!!!!

Just look at this for an explanation:

Just because you've never seen it before doesn't mean it's fake.

Stick with low-end cell/feature phones, where you belong. Venturing into smartphone territory is obviously completely foreign to you.

It's not even a real AZERTY keyboard, the M needs to be after the L.

I've seen the 8220 on eBay for about 2 weeks already. The sellers are asking way too much for it though (at least when I looked...) If they lower the price, I'll definitely scoop one up.
