:O Lame, I never get cool stuff like that lol

Woah how'd you score one of the limited edition ones? Those apparently cost a couple hundred more than the regular ones!

Agreed, $300 premium for some android decals on the backplate is insanity, imho.
Hey, check your Settings/About screen and let me know what version of the kernel your phone came with.
I'm curious if the fact that it's an "employee edition" phone means you get the "debug" kernel....

Glad I ditched the N7 as well. The build quality was just never going to do it for me. My Infinity has some slight like leakage if the screen is displaying black, but it's nothing visible with any other color. All in all, I'm satisfied with it.

I just ran a build quality test no issues ...... Now it's time to check for dead pixels in all that other good stuff. I have to say the volume keys do suck like they suck really bad lol

Congratulations on getting your new tablet. I got my TF700T a month ago and have not looked back. Sold my TF201 but kept its dock keyboard which is happily attached to my TF700T at this moment. As soon as Jelly Bean is available my TF700T will be perfect. My current iPad3 is a bit more fluid with the web browser but my Boat browser comes pretty close. Jelly Bean should allow me to dump my iPad3 on eBay for some extra cash for the next great Transformer release from Asus!

might want to think about getting it from newegg, theyre always awesome and right now have it and the dock for 40 off with free shipping, might not get it for a day or two but than you can pretty much get an extended warrenty for 10 bucks

I may use an iPad but that's what I want, plus it works in my schools eco system better, the keyboard will still work for my iPad so how's it a fail, everyone is entitled to their opinion but think before you go off on the I hate Apple tangent

Thanks
Good looking out.

i can say that this is a nice keyboard. I have one for my ipad as well (yes i realize its an ipad, but i use it because its better for what i need a tablet for) definitely worth picking up if your looking for a bluetooth keyboard.

Just tried to pass on a good deal

Bestest Place to buy Devices?

I have seen people mention a site called swappa. Is this the best one. I have been looking for a tablet and don't trust huge sites like eBay. Is swappa a good choice? Asking fellow users.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I have used them to buy. They get my vote.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Read into them. Honestly it'd be my first choice if I'm buying outright. Read all their tos and whatnot. As far as I know only clean esn's are on there. I have read into it and it definitely is a lot better of an option than eBay in my opinion

Bestest?

the correct english is " most bestest" dumbass

I bought and sold on swappa. But be cautious of sketchyness. My first one I bought turned out to be a scam and my money ended up I'm China. The whole thing was so sketchy. But PayPal is awesome and got my money back in a couple of days.

I vote swappa. Simple as hell to use.

Here on the US west coast, Craigslist is king for used phones.

For safe transactions and reduced prices, you can check out the "outlet" from the company. A lot of companies sell the slightly used tablets and refurbs on their outlet's website.

actually what i always do is, shop around on the site and see whats available. then i call them prior to me checking out to confirm everything and they usually give anywhere from a 10-15% discount.
KEEP IN MIND:
i have a business account
i have 4 lines under my name. All 4 are smart phones
and i get 21% discount on all accessories because of the company i work for.

Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging Pad for Qi Wireless Enabled Smartphones $25

Ran across this and thought you guys might be interested in getting some. Seems like a great price for a name brand unit.
