wayyy back in 1999 i had a nokia 8850 mobile phone. in 2001, while living in hong kong i sold it as the screen was dead. now, fast forward to 2011. around 4 weeks ago my former mba classmate (in hong kong) sent me an email. she was shopping around the side streets of hk (kowloon, tsim tsa tsui) for a cheap and simple mobile phone for her 11 year old son. she stumbled on this nokia 8850 so she asked the vendor for it. she opened the back to check that all's well. upon removing the battery, she noticed a name that's been scribbled on the chrome surface. lo and behold, it was my name. i know, freaky. and i kid you not. anyway, she remembers me as we were study partners. so she sent me an email asking if i wanted to get the phone. of course i said yes! i offered to pay but she said the phone was too cheap so she shipped it right away. last friday (the 30th of sept), the parcel arrived. i put in a sim card and it works! very interesting...and freaky...that something from my past made its way back to me. just thought i'd share it. oh, and check out my signature. second to the bottom is that same nokia 8850 in the pic.

Thanks for the post! I've also been waiting a long time for this.
works great.
Like the note said, it needs to be placed on a dark surface, that was my problem apparently. First try on my dark bed sheet and it worked vs my light-ish brown counter-top.
Yeah took a few tries for the check deposit to work. I had to get the check on a black background too, and make sure the edges are visible in the picture. I was positioning so the check edges were right on the border and it wouldn't work until I moved back a bit.
sweet! installing now
App was a breeze to get it up and running on my TMO-US HD2 Android baby
This is awesome, thank you for posting it.
I have been waiting for this app ever since it came out on the iPhone. Of course now I have no checks to test out the app with!
Thanks for the heads up! I had there original app on my G1 and then they discontinued it so I've had to suffice with SMS account activity and a bookmark.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Was first in line and went through an over 1 hour hassle getting my phone. In the middle I said I liked those t-shirts you guys have. The rep said they had an extra one and gave it to me free. This shirt is made by American Apparel. Real soft and comfy.

the back image looks like it could be confused for gatorade haha, but nice score.
All the reps had them. These are long sleeves.
really... wow, I just walked into my verizon store here, asked for the TB and was out within 10 minutes, no line or anything. I got the 4G LTE (front) Rule The Air (back) long sleeve shirt.

Yeah, I had no problems, think I was the third in my store and it was just standard time to switch the phone over. Had a brief issue w/logging into my google account, but I may have been typing something wrong. I would say I was in there less than a 1/2 hour even w/the wait time.
I asked if they had any extras and was told no, even though there was a pile of them on the sales desk..
I was there and your, and left with it unactivated...

In the Samsung Apps there seems to be an offer. Apparently, if you download all of the apps that they have for free in this particular list (some are quite good), you will be sent a voucher for an additional gift.
I have downloaded all the apps, but have received no voucher so far.
Link for details?
Just open Samsung Apps and you'll get the Valentine's offer welcome screen. But you'll have to download all featured apps in the period of time (7.2. until 27.2.)

@jeromepearce: As far as I remember it said the voucher will be issued afterwards, around the March, 6
Maybe this is how you get ICS
We might get ICS very soon
you WON !!!!!!!! free apple iPad 2 !

lmao, i did something like that a while back and they rang me up and said i could have a phone, this box standard rubbish thing, for £15, it was in cpw for a tenner, told em to stick it.
Here's a screen capture of the offer...
i have participiated downloading all those apps offered but no voucher so far... By the time i downloaded the offered apps one of them was not free so i even had to pay for it but when i check it out few days later the app i paid for had become free. So that was a temporary issue hitted me imao
It says to WIN is there a competition? win against .........time? it also says 'winner announcement.... it does not seem all to appealing to me..
Howdy guys,
So i ordered a second OPO for my brother the other day, and since we reside in South-Africa i had to make use of MyUS.com to forward the package to me. Been using them for years now.
Here's the deal, yesterday my tracking status was updated to "Shipment on hold" and if you expand it for further details it says:
"The shipment is awaiting the next scheduled movement, The shipment will be processed in the next available movement"
I then called DHL South-Africa and they told me that there's nothing to worry about, and that the item is on its way from JFK NYC to OR JHB. That was yesterday. So today i called DHL USA and they gave me a completely different story, they told me the package is being held in NY because import tax hasn't been payed...BUT IT HAS! I paid $130 import tax (I know i know) and emailed proof thereof to DHL South-Africa. So i then called DHL South-Africa again, spoke to someone else, and he said that the packaage left JFK today @ 11:40 US time. So who do i believe ? Is my package actually en-route to JHB South-Africa as im typing this or what, there seems to be a serious lack in comms between DHL USA and DHL RSA.
Any input, similar experiences ?
Here a screenshot of the tracking status as of 21:48 (GMT +2) time:

UPDATE:
Eventually emailed proof of import taxes to DHL USA and they released the package from JFK NYC and its currently in JHB RSA en-route to me.
Heard many cases of people getting scammed into buying fake S6s so I wanna check with you guys if these photos a seller sent me look legitimate

Everything except the screens showing it running. That is how you are really going to know. Buy instead from a known source and you don't have to worry.
Looks legit...
Corners scratched BTW I looked at the same one on eBay

just never buy a phone without running CPU-Z on it first.
When I have sold phones I've uploaded a photo of the phone showing the CPU-Z screen CPU info so people know it's legit.
There's way too many fakes out there these days.
Not only that, but I hear stories of people buying phones second hand and then a week or later they become black listed.
Some people sell their phones then claim they got it stolen or lost and claim on insurance for a new one, the insurance company then blacklists the old EMEI number.
Long story short, I would never buy a second hand phone.
If it's Ebay you have 14 days iron clad money back clause. When you get it, check it, if it's fake, send it back but make sure you start your refund process direct with ebay, not by dialog with the seller.
If you can a screen of it in Recovery then you'll know it's real. If it comes up in Chinese then it'a a fake
