Well whaddya know? The iTreo 800p is finally selling on eBay! We thought the day would never come that we could actually get our hands on this totally sweet -- and absolutely
real -- phone. Man were we wrong. Sure, the listing says you're selling off a
Treo 800W, but given the large amount of completely reassuring blue text, scrolling text, and large font text, we'll happily accept that we will, in fact, receive the device pictured above via UPS Next Day Air. So, yes. Yes. We will "buy it now" for $349.99, safe in the knowledge that by this time tomorrow, we'll be the only guy on our block busting out the iTreo 800p at parties, pool halls, and any place else where all the happenin' stuff happens. Thanks "naseemajid" -- you're A+++++ in our book.
Update: It appears the eBay auction has been pulled. We can't imagine why.
[Thanks, Spencer]

killer....
hardly.
since relating to ebay and killer, i found a gold l800i iPhone clone on ebay here... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=330263016322&Category=3312&_trksid=p3907.m29
What, you didn't know that they were launching exclusively on eBay?
found same L800i sciphone for less here: http://www.mp3nmp4.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1695&HS=1
does it come with an on-screen AND tactile keypad?
Its a miracle of modern engineering!
a Marvel even!
love that the "secure" ordering form is not only NOT secure, but also wants your SS#
Actually (&/or seriously), if Palm would be able to even possibly conjure this design idea (but not directly ripping or cross-breeding it the way this pic looks), it would've been really something very interesting perhaps!
Wow plus they want you to complete an online credit approval before purchase. Say hello to identity theft!
does it have copy & paste?
sort of. It can copy, it just can't paste.
Yeah, it makes delicious pasta.
I'm sorry, but I don't see what you did there...
Jesus.
I just realized I haven't read an article I give a shit about in the last several weeks on this website.
Hmmmm, anyone have any tech blog recommendations?
techcrunch.com lifehacker.com or engadget mobile :)
Let's see........... He says it's a Blackberry Pearl, calls it a Treo (iTreo at that) and shows iPhone icons. Any body would be as dumb as a box of rocks to fall for that line, not to mention the identity theft indications.
So it's actually a blackberry pearl?
Since there are no iphone/itunes/iupdates news to post about, this pointless ebay listing of a con makes a story?
In my book, engadget is going down an iTube more and more every day....
Your synopsis of this read eerily similar to a Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" ad.
Lol at the other image in the gallery - apparently the iTreo is running Windows Mobile as well, that's awesome!

Instead of Boot Camp, it has "Army Recruitment Tent," and boots Windows or OS X mobile versions.
Who gives a fuck? Why was my time wasted reading this garbage. If I want to see stupid ebay auctions, I'd go to ebay.
You tell me... I doubt anyone held you down and forced you to read the article.
Damn it...If I wanted to read comments by Mark I'd to to markisanfingtool.com. Now stop.
LOLz this is so stupid, I sent him a message on ebay asking how they can sell this fake crap and I also filled out the forum that they say is "secure" but really isnt with a bunch of insulting words!! HAHA
But will it run Crysis? I think not.
ring ring, there was a post about this already, no?
check out the seller's ebay store. he's also selling diet pills. . . you do the math.
This guy got 2,189 views from this. Can you guys post one of my auctions here too? :)
The description says it's a Blackberry Pearl 8130.... wtf?
Slow news day. Time for a snooze.
Article is A++++++++++, would read again.
Throw in a 3G at the end of the name and I'm sold!
Fake
sighs and walks away
really? did you figure that out all by yourself?
"This listing (160266555291) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay."
FAIL!
I'm speaking about the "seller", of course.
A+++++ FAIL
nothing to see here...move on....ebay pulled it.
did anyone else read that title and think "Laak? wtf is that supposed to mean?"
no
L@@K on ebay auction titles means "look at." It is very annoying and unprofessional, and people who use it generally sell crappy items. BTW - how long has the comment entry interface been like this, I didn't get to check Engadget for a few days, when did it change?
This listing (160266555291) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
????
eBay most likely realized the obvious (the item is fake) , and removed it.
Pulled my ass. Which one of you guys bought all the stock so you could resell with a mark up. Damn you.
You actually made me laugh. Awesome.
Does it have copy n' paste?
Did you just copy and paster Eric?
This is the reply I got when I asked how they can sell that fake stuff "I am an authorized Sprint Dealer the second photo is the actual phone for sell. The first photo is an option depending on what operating software you choose to use. It comes Brand New directly from Sprint. With a contract only.
Kind Regards "
turns out its a false auction,palm called off.
you could cut the sarcasm in this post and these comments with a KNIFE.
It's a Treo that runs Windows Mobile natively. They've installed one of the many free iphone interface fake/clones that's available for WinMo, all of which are cack. Nothing to see here, move along.
You do know, this is a fake and not real correct?
Take a look here:
http://www.treoclub.com.br/?p=51
I'm not buying one until it supports, via usb, my coffee roaster..Then I'm a buyer..
I run a program called TouchLauncher on my Palm Centro that looks just like this. Not really all that newsworthy.
It's real, i saw Bigfoot talking on it, oh wait, he has no arm. um well okay, just bid though cause it is real!! NOT
I seriously hate the entire internet.
