I strongly suggest you as soon as possible completely examine your new phone as this is the typical price that the fake new phones are sold out of China and Hong Kong. These fake new phones use a repaired old N900 circuit board with new plastic and new fake Nokia accessories.
If you act quickly on a dud fake you can get most of your money back from paypal, search the forums for ways to spot a counterfeit N900.
My fake new N900 never worked properly was loaded with wonky apps that wouldn't load or reinstall, it bricked and won't go into flash mode anymore after attempting a firmware reflash, I am keeping it for parts.
