i've seen alot of people with kickstarts on ebay and stuff, where do they get it so early?

Most of those are the test phones RIM hands out prior to a release. Often times they DON'T WORK because RIM locks the pin. So, before you think of purchasing one, be careful as you might be purchasing a nice paperweight instead.

I agree with you. Buyer beware...coming from an ebayer

if you buy one that does work, will they disable it, even though it has been announced?
