    I'm curious on how valuable .mobi domains are and will be.

    I just picked up a VERY nice .mobi domain name! :)

    Good catch! I think like all TLDs.. eventually all the one word domains would be worth gold. At this point of course they are worthless. But people who have long term goals, pick up a few one word domains. I bet they'll be worth in the 6-7 digits in 10 years.

    lawyer.mobi is an official premium name which is locked by the registry. When someone posts a domain name, he means it.
    This one's simply a typo of "lawyer.mobi".

    Yeah I hope it works out. I'll be parking it most likely and adding it to my directory of parked domains :).

    Ok I just found this page, and was incredibly surprised to see what some of these domains were going for.

    Mortage.com (typo) $242,400 Moniker/ DomainSystems 4/4/06


    Attorney.mobi £11,966 = $23,606 Sedo 12/5/06

    Hoteles.mobi $19,500 Pool 11/21/06 (This is a typo domain too)

    So as you can see I think you may have cought a winner! Atleast in the $xx,xxx digits anyways! Good Luck, Let me know if you end up selling it.
