The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.

I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.

    …because the author is an investigative journalist?

    We all know it’s a scam, but it’s their job is to prove it. To prove it you have to (attempt to) buy it.

    I agree any actual people trying to buy it are morons.

      It seems a lot of people have forgotten that proper journalism is more than repeating what someone tweets
