Another EBAY Special
 

Just Thought I'd share this one with you guys........

Lets report the bastard before he takes someone for it... grr... people piss me off.

So what's the problem???

Luv2chill has stated many times, they are only concerned about ppl selling the ROM itself.

wow a ppc6700 SE..lol ..I hope he as customer support just incase of the dreaded splash screen of death. Gotta give him props though as a business man.

im going to ask that quetion about the support..... see if he will post it on.

I like this part...
Keep in mind this phone is better than the iphone. Its processor is very fast and has many iphone apps to go with it. This is a one of a kind phone no one has this phone modded up to the fullest and loaded with apps. This phone is worth like $650 being that it is the only XV6700 with Windows Mobile 6 Pro Special Edition!!! This operating system hasn't even been released yet.

Wow that's low - of the seller - is he crazy? doesn't he know that we will identify this hand and ban him.... on the real it sucks. my wm6 is priceless =)

So I emailed the seller the following:

"So how disappointed is the person who buys this going to be when they realize that the phone really has Wi-fi and that it doesn't fully work? Or that this rom isn't fully developed and or tested yet. You may ask how I know this, it's because I am running the same ROM on my 6700. There is only two places that you could have gotten this ROM from, and I belong to both boards. It's really sad that an unsuspecting person thinks they are getting a "New Never Opened" item, but in reality they are really getting an untested beta rom, with shaky wi-fi service at best, on a phone that not only has been opened but has an aftermarket ROM burned into it...the truth of the item paints a different picture than what you are advertising."


I also tried reporting him on eBay, but don't have enough time at work right now...

Reply from Jonmade15:

"Response from jonmade15
> -------------------------------------------------------
> The wifi on this phone works tested myself and other so you are mistaken."

Notice how he only responds to one of my claims, and not even a good response. As far as I know wi-fi is only working with WPA security, and not WEP or any other security..am I correct on this?

He also leaves out the part where he is advertising this as "Brand new, never opened" Unless the cardboard Verizon box it came in has USB ports he's full of it.. I have no problem with him selling his phone, false advertising though sucks and he is taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers who don't have any idea about what they are getting into.

This guy sucks and deserves to be reported and or strung up.

He is correct about the WiFi though. I am running WEP security and it works just fine.

I guess I wasn't aware wi-fi was working flawlessly..look like I have some upgrades to look into for my apache

I feel for whoever buys the phone with wm6 on it and doesnt know anything about these phones or released official rom .. when they go to take it in for whatever reason and finds that it isnt.

Dear jonmade15,Will verizon support this phone if I have a problem with it? since the wm6 has not been released to the phones?

their answer
yes verizon will support this phone it has a clean esn.- jonmade15
Not bad at avoiding the question. +1 since i didnt ask anything about the esn

I sent an email about several comments on his listing also. When (or if) he replies I will add it in and also include what I said.

Eh I think it's more of the consumers job to not be a total b00n and do some research on a product before they buy it. Although this guy isn't helping things. The information he has about it isn't exactly accurate either... but oh well that's Ebay for you.

On a random note I'm going to be putting some Alltel 6700's up for sale on Ebay soon that really are custom modded, but none of that WM6 SE shite.

Just one of many POS scumbags that troll ebay looking for suckers all the time. They know if they pulled this ANYWHERE else we would be going to the hospital together, to have my foot surgically removed from his ass.

Collectively the internet has become low life heaven.

He didn't sell it the 1st time for $400. He relisted for $350.

I reported him under "counterfeits/counterfeit media/pre-loaded software(no disc included)"

"Ebay won't respond to me personally" ... let's see what they do.

I'm the one that offered him $1: just to piss him off.

Just went thru his feedback to see what he's been buying and selling lately. It looks like the guy bought the phone this past August from his brother in the following auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130142248507

Maybe it was the brother who loaded the custom ROM since the picts of the 6700's today screens look nearly identical in both the august auction and the current one.

Looks like his relist removed all references to WM6. Guess he got the point.

namopereht

He also changed the condition from "New in the Box" to "Used".

I wouldn't worry about this guy. At that price, it's not going to sell! If for some crazy reason the guy gets really lucky and manages to sell it at that price, the buyer is an idiot and deserves to be liberated of his money anyway. No 6700 is worth more than $200 unless it's 24k gold plated.

Hes a class act SCAM ARTIST. nothing illegal just full of sh!t . (sorry no other way to put it)
1 of a kind ! "nobody has this WM6 rom " statement he made about knocked me over.
thats a classic example of "NO SHAME IN HIS GAME"

and whats funny is that he wouldnt pay $100 dollars for the phone himself.
But since i have a vx6700 , for a second i felt like "yea right on brother , i hear ya" but then reality set in real quik. lol

The pressure must have worked, because he revised the listing. There's no mention of "one-of-a-kind," "pre-release," or any of the other sh** he was saying.

He's definitely not going to get $350 for it now.

i reported him for no disc bootleg software since i highly doubt he is providing a disc for all the "great apps" he loaded.

I also have no problem with the wifi on my phone using wep security running helmi's wm6

i think that is a preaty "hter" move there man everyone is just trying to make it .....is it really right that we mod phones that in your EULA says you cant and reverse enginering software??? no but we do....not tryiing to start a forum war here just putting in my 2 cents...maybe a better move would have been to let the user know that he should burn the rom to disk and send it with were all in it together here man

problem is, we can't legally burn the rom to a cd since we legally can't use it. that won't stop me, but.............

also, who knows what other problems the phone has and/or illegal software it has.

well here is the list of recent ebayers selling the wm6 for the apache
