Semsons & Co. Inc - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories

Has anyone dealt with Semsons & Co. Inc? I placed a order on Thursday and sent them a followup email on Friday and I havent heard from them at all. Its a bit disappointing when you pay extra for express post and they dont even take the time to reply to your mail!

Not come across them - I'm in Australia too, and I find Expansys the best for XDA stuff. Well worth a try.

O2 shops + accessories

My local O2 shop had all bits except backpack. Charge/usb lead was £9.99. Aluminum case was £19.99. backpack (not in stock was £89.99). I bought case + stylii + lead. got £8 discount.
The girl in my local O2 shop looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for a screen protector.
haha.. its happens to me once in O2 shop......
As a manager of an O2 store I can help you out if you want to know what you can and can't get - to avoid the alien looks!
To be fair (due to, ahem, "budgets") a lot of store staff are part-time (bain of my life!) and don't get enough time to train on normal stuff let alone xdas!
O2 stores don't stock screen protectors (which is why the girl wouldn't know what you were on about!)...I have asked but to no avail.
I got a couple from the Dixons store along the road for nowt! (LOL)
Just PM me if you've got a question - but obviously I can't go delving into your account, data protection and all that!
Irnbrulad - this is a generous offer and I think you will have a queue of people baging on your door (if you let us know where it is!). I have been after the folding keyboard for xda 2 for months - any chance on letting us know where and when and how much?
Thanks again!
Ha ha, think I'm a few miles away from the majority of you guys! (north of edinburgh). As for the folding keyboard, we have yet to be given a confirmed date. There is a thumb-pad out which kinda looks like the keyboard on the blackberry device. Have a look at www.my-xda.com and follow the accessories link, then keyboards.
Hope this helps.
PS. prices are there for both keyboards too, you may be able to order the folding keyboard online, but we have yet to recieve them instore (that said, there are some stores that get priority for XDA stuff)
Thanks for taking the time to comment - if only more 02 staff were like you.
I went ot my local O2 store on saturday to buy an XDA II and was told they have none in stock and have no idea when they will be getting any. They wrote down my number on a scrap of cardboard to phone me when they get some stock - I'm not holding my breath!
They also have a lack of accessories. I would be really interested in the backpack because I do a lot of presentations and carrying everything around with me would be a great time saver - this is no-where to be found even on the net - does it actually exist?
Is it possible to get a list of O2 stores that have priority of XDA parts?
Thanks
Matt

Expansion pack first. It does exsist - not sure how many though! I've emailed someone i know in logistics to see if they can be ordered into stores. also asked which have priority. have a look on www.my-xda.com as there are details there.
Are you near london, if so let me know.
The xdaII has been out of stock for a short time at the warehouse. If you still want one pm me with your nearest big towns and i'll check the current stock
Got an answer for you. They haven't been launched yet - "hopefully in the next few weeks" is the response i got. Get back to me in a couple of weeks and i'll check again - i'll forget otherwise!
Any update to when these will be available in the uk? An Aus firm has just got them in stock so cant be far away.
I was wondering if there was any more news on the full size keyboard (can you tell I am keen!)
Thanks again - angus

Mate, if you refer to the due date of April 16th... that would be the very first time that EXPANSYS knows anything about their ability to deliver devices :lol: I am almost prepared to accept any bet that the release date will be any possible date except for April 16th 8)

Where's good to send a magician for repair in the UK?

Out of warranty.
Cheers.
Sent mine to http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/xda.htm
had a problem with a black screen after rom update......
will supply you with a quote very quick.
Only sent today so can't tell if I'm gonna get it back
Sent mine from Holland to the UK since I wasn't able to find a someone to repare over here... No hints on this board either.
BuDDaH
Perfect. Emailed 'em for a quote.
As it turns out, I started a post with O2 sales yesterday, and I wasn't aware as I just found out tonight as I was doing homework on various phones(!), but theres two new variations of the JAM just about to come out - the XDA Atom and XDA Mini S. If the price is right, I'll probably end u going for one of those instead now, what with half price staff offers and whatnot.
Would be good to have this as a backup/something to sell on ebay if the repair price is right.

[Q] Where did you find your Transformer? (US)

As many of you guys know the Asus transformer came out today in the us. But i cant seem to find one! I've called all the bestbuys in my area, none of them have even heard of it, or have any info in their systems. Amazon and most other online retailers are sold out already. Where did you guys find em, if you did.

I bought two of the TF101-A1 (16GB version) at Fry's (they had 3 total) and I placed an order at Walmart.com at like 1am, which is supposed to be here tomorrow. I haven't been able to find a docking station anywhere...online or retail.
I managed to snag one of the TD bundles yesterday morning. No luck on any keyboard docks though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045109
You need to be a materialistic individual to be able to stay up all night waiting for the Web sites to post the ASUS Transformer on their site at 3am only to have the entire stock be sold out in 3 minutes. I guess some people do not have jobs. So now you just wait like normal people and wait for the new shipment to arrive. I would recommend you pre order one. This is troublesome to know that this happens when something new is added to the market and people must have it now! In a month you will probably see a lot of them end up on EBay as the next new tablet will arrive and they will all have to have it now!
Good Luck

edit: not worth it.
Yeah, please the thread clean and on topic guys, what does it matter to you if someone sells a device to get another?
thanks

Damn it! So I went to Fry's because I thought they would atleast have it...
They also had no clue bout it... I feel like Asus left Illinois out of the loop...
And now the tigerdirect link is sold out too! Just my luck.
got mine from amazon and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
hope you all get yours soon

you can try your luck on B&H since its a jewish holiday their store is closed and are not doing any online service til 9pm of today and the stores are not open today as well. you can check their website or go to the thread above to find the link.
They're hiding all over this planet so I had to go all the way to Cybertron to get mine.
jk, jk
I'm waiting for a brick and mortar store. I don't want to have to deal with mailing it back or waiting to get my $399 refunded in case I don't like it. So yeah, if anyone finds it at an actual store (target, walmart, best buy, other popular nationwide chain) please PM me! I have 2 weeks from yesterday till I can't return my Iconia Tab for a refund anymore.
Ordered mine at B&H at 9:00pm sharp, saved the tax and free shipping. If I don't like it ill sell it on Craigslist or ebay.... now just gotta play that waiting game

Ordered mine on BestBuy.com last night between 12:30 and 1 am or so Pacific time, after failing on a number of other sites (missed the mad Amazon dash).
I couldn't actually find the product on BestBuy's site at that time via search but someone had posted a link on the preorder/retail thread that went to the direct order page.. followed the link.. it worked! Added item to cart, chose next day shipping, was expecting to get some sort of out of stock message at some stage of the order process as had happened on a few other sites, but it worked all the way through... Got confirmation email a few minutes later, shipping notice this morning along with a tracking number that UPS now confirms should arrive at my home tmw before 3pm.
Unfortunately the keyboard dock seems to be basically vaporware at this point, and that's a big motivator in why I picked this tablet so I hope I can buy one prior to June but it is difficult to tell if that will be possible since ASUS is doing a horrible, horrible job of communicating actual availability.
Ordered from Amazon 12:00 am on launch day. Received it yesterday!

[FS] Desire S CLEANOUT! Selling my accessories.

Post this in the market place. This is not the forum for this.
I'm most interested on the charging dock..
First problem:
maybe you can lower the price..?
Second problem:
my GF lives in Perth..
Third problem:
I don't know if she'll agree on me for this one..
Could have read this before christmas.. FML!!!
Hey man,
If your GF lives in Perth then how is that a problem? I could post it to you/her easy.
If you're still interested let me know.
Really interested in both the Extreme and Cygnett cases, problem is I'm in Ireland... seems the only place I can get either is Oz! I tried online but the shipping charge is crazy.
If we can agree a price ($25??) incl. postage then I'll take them off your hands.

Hey Tirofog,
Hmmm... I'll have to work out how much it'll cost to ship to Ireland. Let me do some math first. Are you ok with regular shipping or are you keen for express?
Update: So we got options starting from Sea Mail $7.75, Air Mail $12.50, and if you wanted it Registered its gonna be $27.00. I would go with Air Mail man, I would imagine Sea Mail would be dead slow. I could do that for $30?
Yep, will go with that... give me your e-mail and I'll pay the pal... cheers

Geekbuying.com - Buyer Beware iMito QX1

Hi There,
I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from Geekbuying.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.
I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.
It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the Geekbuying forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.
This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and Geekbuying.com have completely ignored. See these threads:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2539-imito-mx1-no-signal-to-tv
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4053-Imito-MX2-black-screen
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3447-Imito-MX1-doesn-t-work-gt-Black-Screen-No-signal
After reaching out to Geekbuying and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.
Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:
Please wait for a site operator to respond...

The item received was defective - and we've been in back and forth with your customer service (or lack thereof) for some time now - and we would like this resolved immediately
10:39:59 AM
we want a refund

I want you to give me all the details on how and where to send it back and when I will see my refund
10:57:50 AM
Why are you not answering?!
10:58:10 AM
I cant spend my whole day here and you never reply to emails. This is the worst customer service ever.
10:58:51 AM
Listen we have done everything we have been told and the item doesn't work.

I will be sure to post about this in all of the forums that I've been a member of

11:00:07 AM
This is what you said the last time a month ago!!!! and the item is still not working and I got no refund.
11:00:18 AM
I want to know now what you will do
11:00:40 AM
last email I sent you was a week ago and you still did not reply!!!
11:00:54 AM
why do you think I believe you when you say you will reply by email??
11:01:25 AM
I just want to send it back, get my money back and forget about this whole thing.

I am sharing my experience, in order to ensure others don't go through the same, and to share my experience purchasing the iMito QX1 - which on paper is supposed to be an awesome device, but falls short in execution.
Good luck.
Thank you for posting this. I hope your post will help others to be aware too. But I have to tell you for every post you find like this and believe me there are many. You will also find many post on other forums that will defend this company and have complete lack of empathy.If you read those threads you will find as I have. They are generally from people who have a certain (ahem, cough) relationship with them. It sickens me to say the least. BTW, its not just the device you purchased either. I try to let people know that a lot of these divides can all so be purchased through Amazon. I am not promoting Amazon. I am just saying if something does go wrong. You have a much better chance of a fair outcome. Sorry to here of your episode. You were more than fair with them. I will not be surprised if there is a reply in their defense. Then again, maybe not here. But, try a certain f****tab forum and you will see what I mean. Good luck.

Thanks for the support - I'm sure you're right - I just hope that the sincerity comes through and that if someone who is looking to purchase an item from them and sees this post at some point, may possibly reconsider.
I never do things like this and if it were a small amount I'd likely just forget about it, but it's a $90 product.

No, I don't know anyone there. I'll try that - thanks. (Is there any specific way I can reach out to him? Is he on XDA? Facebook? There's a general email address at geekbuying, and I'm not sure how I can get him specifically to deal with my issue).
Register over there then private message geekbuying member hope this helps

Amazing such issue's were had.
I also bought my QX1 from Geekbuying however I ordered via Amazon (bundle pack with external antenna & Cat 5 USB adaptor)..
My order was received 4 days later (via USPS).
The unit works great & still no issue's on my end with my unit.
Also bought an airmouse from them (via Amazon again) & received that the day before last (2 days after order)..
Long of the short of all of this is I wouldn't put such hate towards one posting that's seen..
As I've had no issue's on my end once so ever..
Just stating my $0.03....
Shame about the issue's though as the QX1 really is I nice little device (however deva support is still very limited)..
My experience with imito qx1 is also positive. Bought it on geekbuying.com and was aware that shipping last LONG. Got it and it works like a charm. Had same issues in the beginning but flashed it with Finless 1.5 ROM form freaktab.com and it works great. That was a good decision.
I was able to RMA my CX-919 to geekbuying for just return shipping $8.
They asked for a youtube video of it not working!
Took two months but the new device works great.
