Default Possible Smartphone supplier?

I ran across this site today http://www.gsmphonesource.com/produc...ome.php?cat=17 and I wondered if anyone had experience with their service. yes, their prices seem to be outrageous, but I guess that's to be expected at this point. Have any of you bought anything through these guys?

The problem with buying a device from sites like this or even auction sites like eBay is that it significantly decreases the odds of you getting to upgrade your device to the next OS. If you purchase from Smartphone-only sources (like PPCW.Net) or a carrier in your country, then you have somebody to turn to if/when upgrading is an option. Are MiTAC or HTC going to give new ROM images and flashing tools to gsmphonesource.com? Maybe, but that's not a risk I'd be willing to take.
