Original Touch Pro vs AT&T Fuze

Hi guys, I'm pondering weither to plunk down $900 for the Touch Pro or just wait and upgrade from my iPhone to the ATT iteration of the device. Will there be any differences of specs between the two beside the US 3g band and missing front camera? Fuze is a lame name too...

Just wait till Sep 29th to get a fuze. It's the exact date. Now ask yourself these questions:
Want it locked or unlocked?
Want the keyboard of the touch pro or the fuze?
Want to pay $299/$399 (I didn't get specific price but was told it's one of these two) /w 2yr or $900 w/o plan?

I would agree but you know that HTC will put out a ROM that will enable all the bands as soon as the FUZE is released on at&t. Or if someone figures it out before then which I think will happen anyway.I have a feeling that they are locking it down in the US as per at&t so they can sell the FUZE instead of the unlocked version in the states. Lets face it. if you had a kaiser and tilt in front of you, which one would you take. And I know... The price difference is gonna be HUGE so we will see...

For me it an easy choice:
1. Dosen't matter, If locked we'll unlock it
2. I rather have the AT&T keyboard. Access to many of those little punctuations used when typing and the numbers clustered togeather so it easier to input numbers quickly.
3. $299/$399 with 2 years sounds much better than 3x that amount.

Just heard.
It's not going to be called the Fuze but the Touch Pro and the top row will be numbers not symbols.

I agree with this logic. i can't see myself paying 900 bones for the features that will be brought forth here by the XDA Goonies lol. other than the front facing camera which is the sht, i don't have any concrete reason not to wait for AT&T's version. Yes the standard ROM will be grotesquely bloated with AT&T's usual BS but a custom ROM can easily be flashed. So me personally I'll wait for AT&T. but so help me God if they delay this thing anymore.....

Don't know. That depends on where you're located. Like in cali, they do. Because 80% of at&t's marketshare is here. So yeah, here they probably would. I don't know about small states and such. But i bet they definitely will in large states. Oh btw, my 50% is off of retail pricing. The black friday deal will probably have contract deals and not retail deals.

im hoping best buy gets it the same day
since when im not at school i work there and no rebates to worry about plus the phone should be cheaper
plus gotta love payin 40 a month for a whooole lot

you dont have to be 18 just the phone section gotta be 18
i started at 16
now im 20

wow youre 16? i wish i knew about smart devices when i was that young..im 23 and got into smart devices only about a year and a half ago..started with an mpx220 and it froze all the time and returned it for a cingular 2125 then realized i should have got a touch device (thought they were huge like dell x51v's) and got a 8525 then a tilt...so how did you come to know this contact who can get you 50% off retail?

but ya i live in cali and i dont mind renewing for 2 more years..i personally love att and ill tack on 2 more years to get this device but i plan on waiting JUST to see how it actually is once its available..see if its really worth it to upgrade..

[Q] How to upgrade with Verizon?

OK. Here's the situation... I currently own a Droid Incredible and I'm only 8 months into a two year contract. I've been playing with a Galaxy Tab for the past few days and realized what I really want - a phone with a bigger screen.
Can I get rid of my Dinc and upgrade to a Droid X (or even better, a Droid Bionic) without losing my shirt? :-/
What options do I have available?

Trade in the Incredible to Best Buy and buy the new phone off contract, would save you some cast. My friend is doing something like that to get the new HTC Thunderbolt when trading in the Droid X.
or wait a full year to make it 20 months then upgrade

im going to try that trading thing thnx

Are you referring to their new "Trade Up" program? If so, I thought that only applied to new phones. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Nah, if you take a look at Best Buy's website for trade ins, it actually breaks down how much you could get depending on your phone. I just searched about five minutes ago (for the Droid Incredible) and it worked fine for me.

Hmm... I think you may be mistaken. I just went to BB's website and it clearly states the following:
Purchase the Buy Back Program along with your new product
Bring the product back in good, working condition with all originally included accessories when you're ready for something new
Receive a Best Buy® gift card for the product's redemption value
Purchase the Buy Back Program along with your new product.
So this wouldn't apply to my Dinc that I bought 8 months ago. It only applies to the new phone.

I won't dispute that but if you look at the Best Buy Trade In home page, beneath the part that says "Find a Best Buy trade-in store near you" there are two qualifications and the second option details products NOT purchased from Best
Buy. I misunderstood the details, but I know you could return your DINC if you purchased a new phone to enroll in the program then returned your DINC even if it wasn't purchased from Best Buy. Either way, at the very least you could see how much your phone would go for and sell it elsewhere if you think you could get more for it.

What would be sound sellout price for our used captivate?

Since I can always recreate random shutdown problem by re-flashing stock KB1, I could sell cappy as freshly refurbished state.
I have plan to move over unlocked Galaxy S2 when it be released online sellers. (Ugly product name though )
Any suggestion? I think $350 would be nice.
Yes, another unhelpful and useless thread but let people who will change the ship discuss.

Should I buy?

I got a great deal for this tablet but the man said his company refurbished it themselves. Should I buy it? What problems are you guys having? Common issues? I really like it and he said they'll give me a 7 day warranty.

A seven day warranty isn't very long...does that mean you can return it for your full money back if you don't want to keep it for any reason? Is it a US Xoom model? The Xoom is terrific, even more so with the Ice Cream Sandwich update, but just be careful, because any deal that sounds too good to be true, usually is.

I got mine from Newegg.com. Super fast shipping. I've purchased a bunch of tech stuff from them and have always been happy. I paid $329 free shipping for mine. It is a wifi that was refurbished by Motorola. Mine arrived in brand new condition. I have a year warranty on it.

A seven day warranty is a joke, and I'm guessing anyone who offers a seven day warranty is a joke as well. I would be very cautious about that deal. Remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. You are better off buying something off Ebay from an totally unknown seller, at least Ebay has buyer protection to cover you if the item does work as described.

Thanks guys I backed off it was just too good, yeah 7 days is too short. Thanks again I will continue my search, and will try Newegg.

One quick question guys .. what's the difference between the original Xoom and the family edition one?

The original Xoom can be rooted, modded, upgraded to ICS right now.
The Family Edition has a nicer screen, iirc, but it's not unlockable/rootable, and they have to wait for Motorola to upgrade them to ICS.
I would absolutely go with the original Xoom. It's still the best tablet around, even though it's about a year old.

couldn't agree more. The original xoom has fantastic support on these forums and the developers have barely scratched the surface of what they can do. Plus, if memory serves, the family edition cant have extra memory added to it unlike the original xoom. That factor alone closes the deal in my eyes.

[Q] HTC One S or wait?

Well, as most of you know, the HTC One X+ was announced today. Would it be stupid to buy an One S or should I wait for a One S+?
Many Thanks,

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it. imo I think the one x looks better but I love how compact this phone is for how big the screen is. cant go wrong that. as far as im concerned the one x+ still isn't too much of an upgrade besides its hd screen

I think you can't go wrong with either. The One X does feel good and solid and the bigger screen is awesome too. But the One S is so thin and sexy; even with a case. I went back to stock for the new update and this thing is even faster.
In my opinion, the only reason somebody would get a One X is because of the bigger screen. Even though the One is is marketed below the One X, it certainly does not feel or operate like it.

I don't think there will be a One S+. The way I see it, the One X+ was a small bump that gave the US a non-LTE but Tegra3 version. If you want the big screen, I would wait, but I'm really happy with the One S for the already stated reasons.

These can be found for $250 on craigslist. Buy it now sell it later without losing a dime.

Beware buying sh!t on Craigslist, especially phones. Make sure you have the device running before a purchase. But who the hell would want to buy a phone on Craigslist anyway?!

I purchase both my Nexus One and my Nexus S on craigslist. Its up to the buyer to make sure they don't get scammed. I take someone with me so I don't get robbed/jumped and I make sure the phone is working and I can make a call before money is even shown. Craigslist is a wonderful place to get stuff. The only people that get scammed on there are the gullible ones.

I just got a new one from craigslist a couple days ago, nothing wrong with getting stuff off of CL.. especially since phones come with a 1 year manufacture warranty if there is a issue with it (besides cracked screens).

Just bought HTC One S from a "nice" dude I found on Craigslist. The guy apparently works for T-Mobile, and we completed the transaction at a T-Mobile store. I paid $275 for a brand new HTC One S. I wanted a Galaxy S3 originally but getting a One S for around 60% of a GS3 price feels good. It's a good phone for the price for sure.

HTC One S is a great phone, if you enjoy compacted efficiency.

This phone is great IMO it all comes down to what you like, go on YouTube watch some reviews and see what you think.

You can always rendezvous with the craiglist seller in a bank or ATM machines as there are always camera's there and you can verify the phone is legit and then get the money from the ATM and that way if you ever have to file a complaint, you will have the time and hopefully the camera captured you and the seller doing the transaction in the bank lobby

or you can have the guy meet you outside your house and set up a camera haha

As much as this Craigs list thing is hijacking the thread I suppose I'll participate..Just meet inside a McDonald's. Public, cameras, plenty to choose from. But always, always put your SIM and micro sd in and check all functions first.
