Heard about them weeks ago...guess they went on sale and sold out.
Definitely a goofy novelty item but how could I not want one.
ha ha those are awesome!!
Those are pretty good...but I also never new they out
id get one of those for my desk
Got 8 of them when they released it. I sold out very quickly. Very cool little androids sitting on my desk!
Not worth it though unless you can get it in cyanogen blue

You can buy a spray can of vinyl dye for like $4. Any color you can pretty much think of.
mad!! wish i got some!
The glow in the dark one ftw.
I got one at MWC and now I'm eager to get some more of the collection, they're great
$7.25 each just feels like such a waste of money.
I was all psyched about them myself, but there's better things to spend that kind of money on. $50ish for the entire set would have been reasonable in MY opinion. $100+ (With only a chance to get the whole set)... No thanks...
Dang i wish i knew about them.. i want one for my desk!

What's worse is that when you order a case, you're not even guaranteed to get an entire set. You're sent 16 figures in random, blind boxes which doesn't guarantee you get one of each.
Still, I'll probably be ordering a case when they become available again.

There's tons of pictures of almost all of them available on their blog.

Exactly! That's why I said over $100 with a chance to have the whole set.
Even on the blog site before they released, they were stating you should get 10 or 11 of the 12. WTF is that all about?!!?. I'm not going to say it's a horrible thing and that people are wasting THEIR money. But I do feel like I would be wasting MY money in the same situation. To each their own, ya know?
Either way... Give me an entire damn set for $50, and you'll be $50 richer. But I ain't putting down $100+ for some plastic and a chance at an entire set. With 4-5 duplicates in addition to that. It's quite depressing if I can be completely honest.
(My $100+ will become Final Fantasy XIII and Starcraft II, LOL... Hopefully I'll get a little use out of the two )

Me too. The little the worker guy would be nice on my desk. It would be the FIRST piece of "decoration" I have. I'm sure my wife would be pleased to know I have a little android doll, but not a single picture of her! She already complains I play with the phone too much already.
Just found this on ebay and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it, looks to be able to charge a battery plus charge the phone.

I don't really think this thing worth 24 buck....
this is almost exactly what i want just not so cheap looking
Hmmm...if I don't see or hear of anything better soon I'm getting that.
I hadn't seen anything that wasn't homemade although I cannot argue about the looks of it. But for an easy charging system it looks good and will charge another battery as well.
It looks pretty cool. I almost want one. But it does look a bit cheap. Good find though!
I am seriously considering jumping ship from my Craptivate to the Insipre. The main thing holding me back to the screen. I realize it will be somewhat of a downgrade from the Captivate's, but my question is how much so? For those that just made the switch, are you already missing the Captivate's gorgeous screen? Or is the difference not that bad? I'm just scared that I'll miss the dark blacks and vibrant colors to much and maybe regret it.
I'm also curious as to the ease of messing with different ROMs/kernals and such. I've had the Captivate since launch day, but it was my first Android phone. I came from iOS, which I was very familiar with 'messing with'. Anyways, I learned the ins-and-outs of the Captivate and Android in general soon after I got it, and I probably flashed new ROMs over a hundred or so times over the last 7 months. I know my way around the Captivate very, very well now, and am wondering how much of that knowledge will translate to this as I am already running across unfamiliar terms on this forum like gold cards and such. I am already noticing a few Captivate developers jumping ship, which is helping to sway me to the HTC side. I am still missing my GPS way to much, and am tired of keeping my old 3gs (not activated) in my car to make sure I had access to a reliable GPS when needed, which I would tether to my Captivate to use.
You should go into the store and see the phone for yourself. I have both phones and I think the screen is as good or better then the captivate.

That's what I wanted to hear, thanks. I do live pretty much next door to an AT&T store, so I guess I'll go check it out in a second. I just wanted to hear from people that already have some real-world use with the Inspires and Captivates, versus a 5 minute try-out I'd have at the store. Thanks for your reply, appreciated.
Lets face it the Craptivates screen is nice but the phone is a true to life FAIL.
You will not miss your phone once you have a fast/stable phone that has the only drawback of a not so loud speaker (this will be fixed down the line, some using a custom rom already see improvements in sound)
We already have root, custom kernels and roms.
Its only day 4 and the xda community have accomplished so much, and trust me this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Man, I'm going to be talked into this within the hour! I'm trying to get my wife to switch as well, as she still has a 3gs. She wants a new phone (reason she never jumped to an ip4), but keeps saying she's waiting until something that jumps out is released. Also, the problems that she knows I've been having with my Captivate is not helping matters on the Android front, although I try explaining that most are isolated to the Captivate and the fact that I'm running basically beta ROMs just to get the newer Froyo. She's not took shabby technology wise either, as she is able to do quite a lot with her iphone like jailbreaking, ssh'in into it, and all kinds of other tweaks available with jailbroken iphones. I think she'd much rather Android, because she's really into messing with the UI and such to get it more to her liking.
Thanks for the advice.
Also thatclaw, the GPS on the Inspire is fast as hell. On Valentines day I need to get to the place where we here having dinner. Started Maps, hit my location and within a second, boom there I was and it was right on spot.

You're welcome, heres a bit more to contemplate.
I have to admit the one other drawback, the 1250 mAh battery.
If you are not 24-7 texting or playing with the phone it should be fine and last you an entire day like it does with me with ONE daily charge unless Im using the phone like crazy.
Then again that's why CHARGERS and USB cables were invented, I have them in 3 or 4 select locations so I'm never out of juice.
In the 4 days Ive had it Ive noticed the battery is getting better and better with the battery charges.
If on the other hand your wife is always on the phone as well perhaps a phone with a bigger battery would serve her better. , ack Im going to say it the Atrix or maybe something a few months ahead.
Im more than happy with my Inspire though, Dual Cores be damned.
The only problem with the Inspire's screen is you can see the touchscreen grid under certain angles.
Kinda annoying, but not too bad.

While battery life is important, we are both fine as long as its decent. We both commute to work (charge in car) and both usually keep a charger at work. So going a full day is not a necessity nor expected, especially for me because use my phone very heavily during the day. >1.5 hours of talk time, and usually >2.5 hours of screen time before 5pm. I always plug in my phone while at my desk. The only time I need it to last is when I'm out and about, at bars and such, which I don't really use heavily then. I just want something reliable, of good quality, snappy, and a freaking working GPS. I live in the city (NOLA) and am always on the go throughout the day to places I've never been to meet up with clients, etc. A working GPS is very important, and I'm tired of not having that over the last 7 months.
How easy is it to swap ROMs and such as compared to the Captivate? Although I have nothing to compare the Captivates processes to, I find it very easy and pain free for the most part on it. As a matter of fact, probably half the time I flash is while on the road and in traffic (no lectures please, I'm careful mostly wait till redlights to do things). I'm scared I'll be starting from scratch again, and will have to re-learn everything. I'm not the one to post questions about rooting/flashing/etc. that can easily be found with a little effort, when I know I can find everything I need by just reading up and searching. Although I know people on here are usually glad to help, I'm not the one that needs someone to hold my hand as I know the information can be found on my own, and I find I learn better this way. I'm just worried that the Inspire won't be that simple, because I'm running across too many unfamiliar terms already. BTW, my self-suffiency is evidenced by my post count, and I've been coming here and for knowledge and know-how since I got the Captivate in July. I'd like to keep it this way, but just am worried it won't be the same for some reason.
Also, a big thanks to everyone who chimed in already so quickly, its much appreciated and makes me want to be more involved with this great community, and not just be a lurker coming here daily (multiple times) only to read up, check for updates, grabs tools, etc.

No you must flash Roms while driving if not you are Un-American, hahaha.
Yeah I understand youre so used to the Craptivates way of doing things.
I would say go here and see for yourself what steps there are

What if I told you that I was a commercial pilot, and the 'red lights' I spoke of do not really exist?
Just joking, but knowing me, I probably would. Guess that's why I'm NOT a pilot.
Ive had a captivate since august, picked up a inspire last night.
Stock for stock the inspire is worlds better, but the captivate @ 1.4ghz with voodoo color and a good rom is proving hard to leave behind. The captivate has such little available memory once everything is loaded up compared to the inspire, Ill give it a good week before I decide.
I am personally preferring the Inspire screen so far. I like the more muted look, but not washed out like say, the 3GS.

If you're having a tough time deciding between an insanely tricked out Captivate and a completely stock Inspire, imagine what the Inspire will be like in a couple months when the dev community blossoms.

absolutely, Its always fun to get in on the ground floor with a new phone and follow all the development excitement.
Time to pick up a second? Plus the description comparing it vs. the iPad is pretty hilarious.
WOOT! I just bought one too.
I have a feeling that after today, there will be like twice as many gtablet owners. I can't wait til honeycomb!
lol not again. In b4 closed
I bought! Very happy.
Just bought one for my wife Let's see how long it takes to arrive here in Sunny South Texas.
Picked one up.
I've been waiting to get a Xoom, but with the price so cheap, I couldn't resist. It will be my first tablet.
Just got one today, i'm so psyched, this subforum is going to get a FLOOD of new users
In for one. On a unrelated note, I now have a Nook Color for sale.
So if these threads keep getting deleted because they are duplicates, where is the first thread?

My sentiments exactly! Although I was also kind of waiting for a firm price and release date for the Acer EEE Slider, but for $285 I couldn't pass it up. I initially bought a gtab when sears first started selling them, but after using it for a week or so, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to keep it, but not for $420(after tax). I ended up returning the Gtab. Does anyone know of any good tips/tricks to improve the viewing angle? Also are there any nice speedy 2.2/2.3 roms that allow you to disable the hardware buttons on the face of the gtab and assign a hardware button for home or back?
So I'm early at the movies and I'm poking around on my droidx and I spot this post. I cruise over to wootand sure enough there it is. Do I need asecond tablet? Well, I think, then I can experiment without messing up my vegan that I'm now accustomed to using. Makes sense eh? A quick check revealed nothing close to this price elsewhere so I did the transaction all on my Droid and soon the fun will begin in earnest,. A little sting when the CC bill arrives but so many hours of interesting problem solving to look forward to. My geek factor really spiked tonight! Thanks for the heads up!
haha first time tablet owner too!!! just bought one impulse buy! hope i dont regret it!
I had to pick one up too. Ive been looking a all sorts of tablets and waiting for a good deal... well $279 was too good to pass up. I look forward to customizing the hell out of it like I did with my Captivate.
OMG!!!!
I got 1 too.
That takes the fear out of ruining my original.
I've been looking for a good case/stand with keyboard for the last hour or so and just found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-T...3LRLVE&s=merchant-items&qid=1300939884&sr=1-1
Hopefully I can save some new owners a bit of time, it was hard to find a case that would fit.
Looks almost like the one I have, but the previous (i.e. messed up one) if the picture is 100% correct.
The one with 2 tabs (left), 1 tab (top + bottom) holds it fine, but the one pictured does not (2 tabs bottom 1 left/right).
Everything else is the same though, and people moved the tabs on those so it might work for you. Look back in past threads, and you should find it. WitGlobal I think is the company if they still make/sell them.
Ordered one up for myself. After taking back the NC last week because it was an impulse buy! Can't beat that price!
Lol I got one. Woot...... 280

Hello all
I bought my first Tablet which is a Samsung 8.4 Pro, back for last Xmas for about $250. from BestBuys.
Trust me, I seriously am not saying this to start any wars here or stand on any soapboxes or help sell any of these things, with as well keeping in mind as its my first tablet I don't have much to compare it to, and well that I fully admit to not really being the biggest tech on these things, but all in all I'm pretty happy with it an also in consideration that it servers my particular needs well.
Now after several months with my supervisor at work seeing me use it, he wants a tablet too (which would be his first one as well, although he has had a Galaxy5 for awhile), an I just wonder if I should recommend the one I have, or tell him to get something else?
As I said an at least for me, this tablet is pretty nice but I told him one, how they stopped making them so future support from Samsung might be spotty. Plus too that I really don't know much about what is out now, or that I am the most knowing of how to even judge what's best.
But then after an just to look, it seems like you can still get one of these from BestBuys, but its back up to like $400 now an personally, I don't know if I would have spent that much on it.
Anyway, I could go on with a few other things but I thought I would just post to see if there were some other directions for brands or series I might recommend for him?
Or could it be that even at $400 an with the other drawbacks, the Pro I have is still the best bang for the buck?
Note, we do want to stay within the Android OS, an keep with at least KitKat as even for one, I know he will be looking for my help with its op. Would also say that hopefully we can stay around the $300.00 or under budget. But might say if $400 is giving us a ton for the money, we might go that high.
Thanks for any help
