I stumbled over this site: www.ecplaza.net (they're chinese)
the prices are crazy !
for example: HTC X7510 for 325$ or HTC touch HD for 370$...
is this for real ? can you count on them to get an original working piece ?
anybody ever deal with these guys ?

And there's your answer right there.
Original working piece?
The only thing you can count on them is to get a very nice useless device which isn't HTC or anything else
Not original... beware
um, i would say... No.
Just go on ebay, thats already very cheap.
these are usually known to be big SCAMS...beware!
nir36, in this sticky, explains that essentially it's better to buy a more expensive whatever when you know it will work and know that you're getting exactly what you paid for rather than buying uncertainly from unreputable dealers, only to get scammed and buy the more expensive on and the cheaper one.
So my advice, buy from somebody who doesn't have the words MEGA CHEAP SUPER DEVICEZ in it's domain name, or in this case, don't buy an unreasonably cheap device from a country that's known for its knockoffs.

I bought a Ipod from japan,
It had some weird firmware....
Stick with USA if you want a nice electronic
thanks for your feedback guys ! BUT... does anybody have actual experience with stories like this ?

Call Raisa at OnTheGoSolutions.com and tell her Richard S. in Ohio referred you. I beleive they currently have them in stock. You may pay them a little more but they stand behind and service what they sell. They are in Chicago. Good luck.
Regards,
Raskell
I used On the go solutions too. I paid more...i think the prices have dropped too. But they seem to be a quality company. There is Raisa and then Dovid, you can talk to either one. Dovid, was shocked about me asking about the video driver issue.
I would test it before, because I'm really disappointed. I owned a p3600 before and a lot of other htc-devices and as far I can say the cruise is the worst device I have ever used (to be honest, this will be my last one, too).
I'm not sure, if only my device is that crappy, because it is so damn slow. For example if I want to load the start-menu (the small default one) I have to wait about one minute. To open the program-folder I wait another 30 seconds. Everytime I can watch the cruise painting line after line...
Yesterday I hard reseted the device and I have the same results again.

I just sold my HTC TyTN II (aka Kaiser) and bought the HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris).
It kicks ass

If you're happy with what you have and want to remain happy, then, don't buy it. Otherwise, you'd become like us, scrambling everywhere, looking for something that could make this sucker run, at least, decently the way it was designed for.
look here

J&R is a large standard company and they can price match the online store's price too. Try them.
Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of selling my TC. Although I don't know how much I can sell it for. There aren't too many used ones I found like on craiglist to go by so I just listed it at $450obo. Do you guys think thats a decent price or is it over priced? Plus do you think that the fact that I changed the ROM to the light ROM by swtos (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368677)would make it cheaper?
Thanks for your suggestions
Julian
i dont knoow if it would be cheaper but definately NOT more expensive because then that would mean your selling the rom.
450 is prety cheap.
Darn! I should've put more on craigslist then! =)
j/k I stopped using my TC about three weeks ago and bought a Palm Centro. now I'm sick of that phone and just ordered the new N95 so I'm just trying to offset some of the costs...
=)
Also, is there a For Sale section on the XDA forums? I couldn't seem to find one...
Julian
Hi
this is to anyone who is selling a TC, i am interested . But hopefully its a unlocked one and english original rom with it. And better be a 100% working one. Cause I have had it with my orbit 2.
Living in uk. So anyone from uk selling their TC would be great.
PLS pm me if you are interested to sell.
Thank you.

From experience I can tell you most but not all of the Chinese knockoffs are heavier and not as good build quality. Also I have always had problems with their capacitive touch screens. Call quality is decent depending on the phone, And it will be real android but good luck finding any dev support for it. Not trying to tell you which to get just trying to give you the facts of my personal experience.
w8 for these type of phones from china

The Samsung "R" is considered a cheaper version of the S2. It is probably better to get a used S2. The Magic was released two years ago, so a used Galaxy S or S2 would be a better idea. The "R" also has a bigger screen.
China phones are known to be cheaper in quality. Your money, so far, is used better elsewhere. Good luck !
i dont want to spent a lot of money for a smartphone so it will be a cheap normal phone or a china phone.
Could someone tell me more about the performance of china phones?
yours sincerely
ps: thanks so far for your replys
Many of the world's mobile phones are manufactured in China, quality is good, if it is China's domestic mobile phone is more limited, but the quality of foreign trade and price are guaranteed
You need to look for phones that have these names: Lenovo, Zopo, THL, ZTE, Meizu, and Huawei. They have good quality. Check out this site for some of the phone models mentioned and some reviews of China phones: China Phone Review
"Air Phone" vs "iPhone"
I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy one.
I cannot supply the following URL as I am a junior menmber; and very annoyingly I am NOT even allowed to thank people... (serioulsy)
"Youtube" then type the following "/watch?v=TUT39op2Pp8"
I did consider getting the "Air Phone 4" (See above) fortunately this review saved me the money. I'd be looking for a secondhand UK Android smartphone.
That said it is usually the data that is the expensive part; so I would be more concerned by the tarriff.
(HTC Rooted Sensation - ICS - Very happy with the HTC - I wouldn't now buy the iphone by choice)
---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------
Just followed your link - your chosen phone was £105.
According to Play.com (i'm sure they can be beaten on price)
HTC Explorer £100
HTC Wildfire £150
I would rather have an HTC rather than a random cheap deal.
For the best deal you do need to factor in calls/data/texts, say over 24 months usage.
I dont know about a phone, but I got my tablet from there and have had zero issues with it. Got the Novo 7 Aurora and I love it.
Hi to everyone! I rly like this phone, but it s hard to buy it... on ebay sellers with lowest price don t send it to Europe :crying: Is there any other way to get this beautifull phone? Sry for my bad english....

Don't buy one honestly. Not that we don't want you around, but the phone is old, and like you said, not very popular. You'd be much better off picking up something like a gnex that is a bit newer if you don't want to spend much.
The other option is to buy two broken phones. to elaborate, buy one that has a dead motherboard, which will cost next to nothing, then buy one with a broken screen or something that has a working motherboard and swap them. you can do any combo, but the point is get one broken one, then another that has what you need to fix it. often this is a great way to save a ton of money.

You can buy an other phone, this is already an old and not so popular one
Nexus 4 makes all the money

Well if you're like me and want an atrix 2 for how well-priced it usually is for its specs and features, then maybe you can try Amazon. That's where I got mine (used) at a reasonable price and if you have any friends/family in the States or try the UK version to have it sent to you.
Newer phones are too overrated and my Atrix 2 has been an awesome first smart phone for me so far. :thumbup: Get what you want to be happy and all the best in your search!

i allready buy it before your posts :silly: when it comes i will sold it and buy something else....
So I remembered watching this video of an amazing novelty case for the iPhone 6 and 6+ and always wanted to get one...
Turns out it was actually made!(albeit a different manufacturer) You can go to their site here to check it out.
Is anyone else seriously interested in something like this? Turns out they don't ship to the states but Canadians can get it! I'm sort of hoping on the off chance for someone to order one for me to buy... It's about $19 CAD or $15.50 USD. Shipping is about $33.50 CAD or $27.20 USD for you folks interested.
Hey where does it say that it doesn't ship to USA?

I tried checking out and the only countries listed are as follows: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Canada.
Is no one really that interested? I can see why the cost of the case might not even be worth it at all. Just wanting to see if there was anywhere else since I've scoured the webs and haven't found one for our note 4.
That is possibly the stupidest case design I have ever seen. I'm betting after a few days use your phone will probably fly off it flipping it around like that!
Design looks cheap and ugly to me, and the nanchaku trick thing is stupid. Why would you want to do that, and with an $800 phone no less?
Sorry, but thats my 2 cents.

Lol! Like everyone else said... Looks silly to me. And risky! Why not just get a butterfly knife if you feel the need to flip stuff? Safer that way. Maybe us naysayers are too old for this stuff. Beside the fact (putting aside whether it's cool or not) I wouldn't even think of it unless I had insurance on it. God I feel like an old fart

I have a balisong, but you can't exactly flip that in public
The phone for me was purchased second hand for a fraction of the posted $800 so I can understand people feeling iffy about that if they did pay that much.
All-in-all, understood everyone.
I do like the adjustable angle to stand your phone up. All of these kickstand cases only have one set angle--the bad one.
