Why are so many Nokia 6560's up for sale?

I don't want a flame war here but as someone interested in a new TDMA
phone, I have noticed that a very larger number of near-new Nokia 6560
phones are being put up for sale. The stories are similar: bought a few
weeks ago, used very little, often only a few hours, now feel like
selling it. Doesnt' that suggest something might be wrong with this
phone? It's expensive, so you can't just buy one as an experiment
(something I may do with the much cheaper 3560).

One reason might be because it is a TDMA phone, and their carrier might
require GSM-capable phones for various promo plans. It looks just like the
6610 (GSM version), and I don't think anyone ever complained about that one.
Here's some reviews:

Without trying to sound sarcastic, I think you're onto something, there.

There's a much bigger sample size of reviews (for its cousin) over here:
