Here’s one from Craigslist. Apparently, they are listing on different Craigslist’s sites in the country with the same add. They are located in Provo, Utah with a store location in case anyone wants to verify they actually have some.

That craigslist most definitely is a scam
350USD, yeah right, and only a stock photo (rendering) as picture..

We buy directly from manufacturers for import to retailers, there are limited quantities available, but they are on the world market
Thank you for asking
Ive also asked htc they told me the same its no fake its an touch pro 2 and some of them are also sold yet

Woah, located in Provo, Utah and selling the Touch Pro 2 for $350? I'm about 40 minutes north of Provo, so maybe I'll check it out...
Anyone got a phone number for them? Or what is the name of the store location?

No-one said it's a fake, the craigslist "photo" is a stockphoto (a rendering).
HTC is not SELLING any of these devices yet.
Only ones released are the pre-production models, they are eg. for operators for testing.
NONE are yet for sale.

Fake. The phone hasn't been released

As I type this I am obtaining a new ROM from my source for the Rhodium.
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
This ROM was released to me today. There's no way that there are consumer grade devices for sale out there. I promise you, if the seller is true and has the device, the Rhodium had two stages in its development. One included hardware and software that were "non-turbo", later on the hardware was enabled with "turbo" but had to be disabled with a specialized cab. If that was not completed the firmware would stall and there would be an error stating that the hw/sw versions do not match. this was a real pain in the ass to get around that. So finally, everything is a running beta stage as of today.
Buyer beware.

its funny, i'm comparing my device with the ebay one. they look nothing alike. The back isn't even close, the keyboard looks cheap, the chrome on the edges doesn't exist, the screen size is wrong. I hate it when people try to prey on device junkies... don't they know that's like teasing a kid with candy.

I thought of china clone, probably doesn't even run winmo..

+1. I read reviews saying they're slow with shipping, but this seems REALLY slow. I emailed them on the 13th asking the status of my order and got this response yesterday (16th)...not helpful at all
"I apologize for the delay in processing your order. Our warehouse is working quickly to have your item shipped out as soon as possible"

Last time they said something like that, the next message was that the order had been cancelled. That was because they never had the stock they sold in the first place.
Bastards. A lot of people got screwed over on that one.

Just like what att did when they had for that price

My hopes are still up on this one. The fact that it sold out so quickly tells me that they had a fairly-decent cap on the number of purchases. I have ordered from them a number of times before and haven't had any bad experiences with them -- yes, they can be a tad slow sometimes, but they are usually fairly good about getting things processed and shipped. I (perhaps too optimistically) give them until the end of this business week before I start worrying.

Its been over 2 weeks...I dont think its coming

It has been a bit under two weeks, not over two weeks. It has only been seven business days since the sale.
I vote we calm down, stop speculating, and count on the company to fulfill their commitments, albeit in a less-than-timely manner.
*knock on wood*

Apologize for the double post, but I have some further information on the matter. I contacted their support the other day and they just for back to me with this:
Caroline replied: Thank you for contacting 1saleaday.
I apologize for the shipping delay. We are currently experiencing some system problems with the tracking information. You can expect delivery shortly.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Have a fantastic day!
Sincerely,
Caroline

Expansys USA says 100+ in stock (Grey only)

Well, after my debacle with Handtec I just ordered from Expansys...
$669.99 (and don't forget about 2% back from Fatwallet or 1.5% from eBates.)
EDIT: Here's the link, and I have no affiliation with them.

Boom ordered one.

Just FYI - looks like we will be able to ship them tomorrow. We are under deployment requirements from the manufacturer currently.

EXPANSYS-USA

Ahhhh.... that info would have been nice to have on the site.
I paid $28 for overnight...

Updating now. Look for a PM.

Great customer service from Corey, thank you. Can't wait to get the phone!

I also paid for overnight.

Expansys is selling the glamour gray. What is the difference between the glamour gray and gunmetal gray?

I'm so tempted to buy now rather than wait for white in a couple of days
I have to control myself until white is released on Apr 5th.
Anyone know any coupons to reduce the price a bit

Ordered from Expansys and cancelled from Negri, thanks for sharing.

Any coupon code for it thanks

Hoping I'm OK and that I got in fast enough; the site still shows "100+" in stock, and my Paypal payment shows "completed". The order page just says "Your order will be processed soon. Our order processing team work 8am - 6pm weekdays." though, and it isn't clear what time zones that's for. (My order was charged by Paypal well before 6pm Central, and other things on the site mostly seem to reference Central time.)
Guess I'll find out tomorrow, but Corey, if you're around and feel like taking a weight off my mind, speak up! ;-)

It didn't say that earlier. My guess is they've sold out of their first 100+ units already, and don't expect to receive another shipment for four days.
It still said "100+" a full hour and a half after my order was placed, which was when I last checked, but they were out of stock an hour later apparently.

I don't believe you missed it. We just had a fraudster order batches of 100's til it quit showing stock. We have deleted those orders so it should be showing stock again very soon. The fraud attempts still amaze me.

Wow. That is just unreal. I'm surprised your system will even accept an order of that volume without requiring an override of some kind; that'd be getting on for US$70,000 per order!
On the plus side, this presumably means my own order must've been received while it was still in stock. You said they're supposed to ship tomorrow, and I got two-day shipping, so that means a phone by the weekend. Woo hoo!!! :-D

Whoops, our posts crossed and I didn't see this. Actually, looking at my order, it's just changed to "Ready to ship", so I think we're set.

Awesome news. Went with next day shipping. Had cash to spend after my NCAA bracket win.

RMA Question

If RMA a VZW Pixel 3 XL through Google, will they send me a Google Store version back?

Unfortunately there is no real way to determine what they will do. My suggestion would be to return the phone, then order a carrier unlocked phone.

No because as soon as you give them the IMEI number they'll know it didn't come from the Google Store and they won't RMA at all. You'll have to return it at Verizon.

I gave Google the IMEI and they gave me the option of either using Verizon or Google. I decided to use Google in the hopes of potentially getting an unlocked Google Store version as a replacement.

I got the confirmation email that my old device was received today and that they sent out another unit. They also gave me the IMEI which i checked out at a few sites, but I didn't see any indication of whether it was a Google Store variant or not. Is there a good way to check somewhere? Otherwise I just have to wait until Thursday when I get it back.

I don't know of a way you can check with your IMEI number. I am anxious to hear what model you get though. What did you RMA for?

I was having issues with the mic. Whenever i called someone the heard static real bad with what sounded like feedback or a high pitched whining noise. Issue persisted whether i used the buds provided or while on speaker. Bluetooth had no issues though.
Fingers crossed that it is Store version, but I'll settle for better call quality.

No. I didn't get it on some sort of deal. I don't qualify for synchrony financing because i filed for bankruptcy last year. I got laid off the same time my wife had a brain aneurysm and the bills got out of control. Now we live an expensive part of Denver so our kids can actually go to a decent school with better peers. I work two jobs, my wife one, and i am a full-time student. So yeah. I bought it from Verizon because I've been in good standing with them and didn't have to put money down. Life happens. Tired of people taking crap about buying through them. If I could, i would have got out through Google. Maybe i will be able to next year or the year after that.

coolhandz, I appreciate your honesty here. Sorry if you felt like I was giving you crap.
I'm actually a bankruptcy attorney. You could probably find out where with a very simple Google search. I hope your post-BK life is going well. Please send me a PM if I can help out with any advice about rebuilding credit or something else.

Call quality is much improved. New device is a Verizon. A bit bummed. I'll continue to hope that a root method is found amd maybe next year I'll get the Google version.

There might be a mistake but when you add to cart, it shows up as free. Worth a shot with nothing to lose. I ordered one with free shipping.

I just saw this too. Was amazed that even shipping is free. I ordered 3, and it's still free.

I ordered mine, too. Guess we'll see if they arrive or not.

The article header now reads: [Update: Dead] Price mistake.

I wonder if they will honor the orders that were placed before they fixed their website.

wonder if they will ship them or try to get us to pay ?

Most likely not as it was a glitch. I canceled my order because it was the right thing to do and not exploit their mistake. They responded with a very kind email. I would gladly do business with them and pay.
