I was a bit uncomfortable when I was actually charged last month right after I ordered the phone because usually you are not billed until right before the device ships. Then again, I was hopeful it was closer to release than I imagined. I emailed the company about this charge and received confirmation that it was indeed not a scam and the device was going to be shipped in January. It looks like they did try hard to get a device out, but they weren't very experienced with the requirements and were designing a device that did not fit the minimum specs for an Android phone. My money has not yet been refunded, but I will stay on top of them until it is so I can spend it on an actual new phone. Maybe on something like the rumored G2.
