Sorry Hetz, reply initially sent off list by mistake.

Note sure how much it costs on ebay and don't remember the details for the
htc.
I got a nexus one on ebay. You can put cyanogenmod or similar on it (I
believe
also on the htc) to get the latest version.

things to watch out on ebay are mainly fake phones and locked phones
(reported
stolen and thus will not work in the states on the original network). Forgot
the
exact terminology

You should also make sure whether it's a carrier locked phone or not (which
may
unlocking to use locally).

Also note that unless things changed, there is a 30% tax on cell phones, so
I'm
not sure how profitable it is to order one from ebay unless you have someone
to
bring it over as the extra 30% + lack of warranty can add up.
