Right im not sure whether I am allowed to post this here, so if Im breaking a rule then fair enough...
Due to a huge lack of money at the moment, Im selling my XDA Exec on ebay. It is only 6 months old and in perfect condition.
If anyone in the community feels like they would like another XDA to their collection, you can find the auction
here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=150234551039&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005
I really do need to sell this to raise some cash. I love my UNI and by no way would I sell it if I had a choice.
If anyone is interested and has a query just let me know.
Thanks alot guys,

Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?
why even post this?
i didn't realize i was breaking the law, this is in the general section, it's a discussion that you don't have to read or post anything if you don't like it, no one has a gun to your head.
Seriously, what's the purpose of these I sold, wanna sell, thinking about selling g2x threads, just do it, gtfo, be gone. Good riddance, and go frequent the I phone or sensation forum. Troll.
You got $300? What kind of condition was it in? Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about selling mine which is in almost new condition. The only way you can tell its used is by looking at the chrome strip on the battery cover under a bright light. You will then see some surface scratches but other than that, there isn't a mark on it.

I'd sell mine for $600. I'd donate $50 of that to Cyanogenmod team.
I'd also likely flirt with you guys' moms, and if they bought my phone I'd throw in a little bonus if you know-what-i-am-saying.

My 9-year-old daughter really wants a tablet, and I'm considering getting her one of the ultra cheap ones that's floating around, especially in this cyber-sale week. She doesn't have the best history of caring for her things, so I don't want to spend more than $100 on something she'll likely break sooner than I'd like to know. I recognize this means I'll end up with junk, but I'm trying to filter the junk.
My main concerns are having at least Android 2.1, and the ability to hopefully hack the genuine Market onto it, although I'll settle for the Amazon Appstore. Being able to do all the basic things without being horrific at it would also be very nice.
Does anyone have a specific model they could point to? I'm seeing some Velocity Microsos and Pandigitals on sale, along with some cheap no-names from sites like ahappydeal.com, but I'm trying to make an informed decision.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
DealExtreme.com have a lot of Android items. Just be sure to read the reviews. They may be extremely cheap but there are limitations. I use the website to buy cheap gadgets as gifts for my friends lol. But yea, if you need a simple Android tablet with a certain spec give them a try.

Yeah, I already buy a lot of things from there, but was hoping I might find someone who has more direct experience with a specific model.
I'd run up to Walmart, Staples, Office Max, or Radio Shack and see what they have in regards to e-readers. Velocity Cruz Micro is one I believe is sub $100 one at my local Radio Shack. Find one that you like for the price and then see if your able to load the market, or better yet a custom rom.
When your looking in the less than $100 catagory, that's probably your best bet. They're at least made with some care for the consumer in mind, where as an elcheepo china model isn't.

I've not seen anything there in a price point below the Nook Color you're writing from. Certainly no sub-$100 Android tablets. Or has their inventory changed recently?
Well Fry's, BestBuy or Office Max will probably be your best bet to get the feel. Read some reviews on NewEgg or something xD
Oh my bad sub $100. No go with retail stores. Definitely Ebay or DealExtreme. Hard to imagine local stores selling anything cheaper than that.

Fry's is a vague possibility, yes. The other two don't carry tablets that low-end, though. Not by a long shot.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
Yes, I was looking at the Velocity Cruz units that were on sale on 1SaleADay today, but as I dug into reviews I wasn't liking what I saw. Some really odd limitations and compatibility issues that concerned me. Left me thinking they'd be no less of a frustration than the Chinese ones from the descriptions. Might not be accurate, but that's why I was hoping for people with some real-world experience who did some of the hacking themselves.
Well, I can't help you there, but I can tell you with these cheep units that your experience will almost be gauranteed to be a crapshoot. It might work for me, it might work for you, it might not. I'll dig around the net and see what I can find for you though. I'll report back in the morning, I gotta get some rest for the night.

Really appreciate the assistance. I've done some research of my own, too. I'd love to get her something really good, but I just know for a fact that if I do I'll get a call a week after Christmas that she left it out in the snow, or her dog chewed it up, or something. But I also don't want to get something that will frustrate her enough to CAUSE that.
Wasn't there a £30 7" tablet floating around eBay with a capacitive touch screen running 2.1 Eclair? I'm sure somebody mentioned it on these forums a while back and a few members bought one for family members, might be worth a look there.
Good luck finding one.
Well, most of what I'm finding is Chinese ones that break the hundred dollar mark after shipping and what not. The ones that stay below that either turn to vaporware or are ungodly aweful.

Ah I see, sorry I can't help you any more, I'm not really into tablets and stuff so whatever knowledge I have of the tablet market is very limited. Goodluck finding one, might be worth a look in a few second-hand shops and get a decent used one? My local CEX and Cash Generators etc sell HTC Flyers, Blackbery Playbook and iPads fairly cheap.
Might want to take a look at the amiga tablet ...

While I agree, which was my concern, if I go above that point it's both prohibitively expensive and a really stupid move on my part. I know her well enough to be shocked if this thing survives more than six months. If it does, then I can consider putting real money toward a good one for her. But this is basically a test run both of her responsibility and of how into it she really is.

Yeah, not terrible ideas, but still unlikely to be in the price range I want even then.

Okay, now THAT's intriguing. I feel like there's got to be a serious catch, but it's intriguing. Might still be a shade too much to spend on her, but it's a starting point. Thank you.

You do understand the concept of a Christmas gift, yes?
Be very careful with cheap tablets. They are all extremely weak. Ugly performance, ugly screen. Your kid will hate android having this as first toy.
It is for kid. Buy used older device but good mark

Just wanted to drop a thank you to all the ppl on this forum who have been so helpful and patient with all my questions.
Due to budget concerns I will not be getting a infuse after all so I also wanna say goodbye to this forum ( I was really looking forward to being a member of this great group) .
In a nutshell what has happened is that when I first started looking at the infuse you could pick up a bnib infuse unlocked for about 300 usd but when I got the money the cheapest I could find one was 395 usd and I never buy used electronics so it was out of my price range.
I ended up dropping down to the htc inspire.
Anyway, thanks for everything and hope to see you around xda's other forums
Make you u check out the collective rom for inspire hear its really nice.

I will be checking out the collective rom for sure and also eNRGy rom for inspire.
As for battery I currently use a smaller battery than the inspire has on my mt3g and I am in a truck most of the day so I can plug it in if I need to.

I would but both me and my wife need phones ( she is on a backup ''dumb'' phone and my mt3g has seen better days) and the only way I can afford the phones is tax refund and my budget would have me saving for the rest of the year for those ( as much as I want the note)
Hey guys,
Just like all of us I want this phone, I haven´t got an invite yet but im patient and im sure we will all have recieved one by the end of the month.
The question I have though is if I should buy this phone now or wait for future flag ships?
I currently have the LG Optimus G, its not the newest phone but it doesnt lag and does most of the things I want it to, the main reason why I want to sell it is because I still get money for it now but in a year I wont. (Also the short battery life and bad camera - debatable)
My plan was to sell the Optimus G (on ebay they go for around 150-200€) and then buy the One with that money basically so I would have a brand new smartphone for "100€"
Is it worth it though? The One has killer specs and even though I prefer the LG3, the price blows it out of the water but with 4k screens coming etc, is it maybe worth it to stick with my Optimus G and wait until next year for some new releases?
I hope someone can help me make my decission.
Thanks guys!
