Ok, we all know it’s not legal to purchase stolen goods, right? Are the pre-released phones that make it into regular peoples hands stolen? Not sure personally, but it is definitely not something you want to do now with Motorola Phones. So if you got money coming out of your ears and see a hot unreleased Moto Model on Ebay, think about the following before you snatch it up….

"Field report tidbits from Engadget’s resident mobile insider, the Boy Genius.

"I received information from a source of mine and this kind of freaks me out. Basically Motorola has a new tracking system in all prototypes called M-Track, which will transmit all sorts of wonderful personal info on your phone directly to them. This includes, but not limited to: your phone number (obviously), SIM ID, location, cell tower, and more of the like. I understand the need to track prototypes, but c’mon Moto, some of us can’t help ourselves. After all, what is better than going to the club and showing a hot girl your new unreleased Motorola phone? Nothing I say, nothing.""
