HodgesIV : One, if they are refurbished, take care with their motherboards (unless you are planning to throw away the N900's motherboard). Two, make sure it's N900 and not just a look-alike?

Sounds good. I was just making sure they weren't all clones or something else strange since there are so many listings (whereas there almost none in the U.S.).

No idea about clones, but China generally has lots of "old" phones being sold, such as Nokia N95, Samsung Wave and the like.
<Oksana>
No idea where do they unearth them from.
<HodgesIV>
They get them from companies in the ITAD (I.T. Asset disposition) space.
<HodgesIV>
Businesses that have employee phones or have collection boxes either sell them or give them away under the condition they're wiped of sensitive information or disposed of properly. A lot of those old phones are just sold in bulk by the pound.
<HodgesIV>
The chinese buy broken keyboards, broken LCDs, and all other kinds of things you'd think were scrap. I'm currently trying to find some N900s in that space but it's not an easy thing to solicit.
