Glen,
Yes, I've seen the Group Sales wiki page. If we get sufficient demand,
this is a way for the phone to be cheaper than it would be via a group
sale (since we'd get distributor pricing and would also save a lot on
shipping over bringing in just 10 units).
If we don't get sufficient demand, a group sale will be the way to go
since we wouldn't be able to sell at a price much better than a group
sale anyway at low volumes.
Cheers,
Jasper
