Hi==
the question is that :
Did you Pre-order surface with windows RT or waiting for PRO version (like me:laugh?
another question is :
why you prefer PRO or RT than other?

I'm waiting to 1. to play with it at the store and 2. for the pro because I want to run the full Window and optionally get Linux running too. May be get Android

I pre-ordered the 64 G one. Hope they actually deliver on the 26th as implied. :fingers-crossed:

I preordered the 32gb with the black touch cover. I like the idea of the pro better but i don't want to wait til January. If i like the RT I'll probably trade up then.

get Linux running too. May be get Android

What ???

yup! 32 GB with type cover, cant wait to get my hands on it.

I dunno what to do, I really wanted the Surface but once you add the cover its to much for RT esp as I cant get cisco anyconnect for rt for work etc I am really gutted but for £500 with the blue cover its just taking the piss! Why does the UK have to pay £100 more than America! You can argue import prices but I bet there made in china so its just FUD! If I lived in USA I would snap it up but not here
It is the exact same price once you add the black cover as the iPad I mean I know its better but when you have a customer who can have an ipad with all its apps accessory's screen thinner etc for same price with same mem as the surface what do you think they will pick?

yessir, ordered me the 32gb with the type cover!

Why the **** does Microsoft US refuse to ship to Netherlands. And why the **** can't I order from the Dutch shop? We live in a global economy, for crying out loud!
So I'm not ordering anything unless someone has an idea on how to do that.

+++iPad vs surface !!! just think about that new feature in surface (the features you can't find in Apple products )
BUT I agree with you ( about that extra costs)

Simple. Use a freight forwarding company or if u wait a few days, I am sure many would pop up on eBay.

tbh I also wouldn't touch an iPad for the same reason. For this price I would get an Android tablet for half the price but then I may as well get Android phone etc. I put my hope and money and trust in MS and its been spat in my face, they want to fail simple as there is nothing else to explain it! Maybe Elop is trying to run share prices so low he can buy up the company or something I dunno but there is something adrift.

I know that and i'm sure about that, they won't let us down because they prove their self to us with windows pone 7
what's your point of view about this ?

I pre-ordered the 64 gig Surface at £559. Used Quidco for 3% cashback so have saved a further £14, making the total of Surface - £545. Looking forward to receiving it.

For me, I preordered the RT version to try it out. I can't seem to justify waiting nor buying the Pro due to the increased thickness.
If I want to get the x86 version, I'd aim for either the Asus version or the Samsung one.
Thin and light factor is quite important for me in this case.

After seeing the prices and getting very angry at MS yesterday I have now slept on it and think I will wait for an AMD tablet, there graphics power is extreme and I think they will come in on about the same price point.

Got my pre-order in for a 64GB black one with cover, plus an HD cable.
Bye.

Umm, a detachable keyboard perhaps??
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
There are things that are plus on both sides, but I see what the statement to Apple ipad was.......
Cover/Keyboard Mag mount.........Apple has a Mag Mount Cover only
Need to steal a charge for phone into built in USB........Apple no USB needs adapter
If you do Pictures with a Camera...on the go you can use SD cards in the built in slot.....Apple again adapter needed.
On the Plus side for Apple... a boat load of apps, options for use with 3G/4G and wifi built in....Surface wifi only ( no 3G/4G built in ) requires adapter....or a hotspot phone.
Long and short they have good and bad in every thing. It just all comes down to what you want to do with your tablet.

actualy l did not talk about netbooks, but somehow I hate them, but love tablets tho. It might be because my bad eyesight, I can hold tablet closeer to my eyes than a netbook. Its more portable, better battery (RT), but indeed there are pluses on both side.
Now what I was talking is that for 1500 you can get macbook air and ipad while for much less you could get surface pro which would serve both purpose.. that what I meant anyways....

None of the netbooks have impressed me with their build quality either so im not entirely sure I'd like one. Also I would probably use surface for serious work too (Pro), just hook it up to my monitor at home and bluetooth mouse + keyboard (docking station would be nice) but I think you mean the RT one, because its probably more competetive price range to netbooks. Hope microsoft can "deliver" and impress me with its product (especially with the price)

build quality won't matter for you either, then. once the machine is open or "on" and you're tapping away on your nice ( I do this too) bt keyboard, all that matters is it doesn't crash, or batteries die in KB/mouse.
I'm looking for reasons to buy thee surface over and beyound just another crappy netbook, and not seeing any.

First Impressions

Hello Everybody,
There have been a lot of posts from happy Surface owners, expounding on the great piece of kit that they just started playing with. These posts are wonderful and informative, but they also clutter up the Surface forum. So please use this thread to post in your first impressions about the Microsoft surface. It is also a great place to ask Surface owners about how well certain features are working.
By helping to keep the forum neat and tidy, you are helping the Development of the Surface!
Thanks Mates :victory:

Very excited, as collecting my Pro today , had the RT for a week and took it back , so very much looking forward to the PRO POWER !
Thanks
Stephen
GOT IT !!!
Its fantastic !!!
That's all ...................
Where did you pick it up from? I get asked a lot. I bought mine in the states.....
My new Surface
I finally decided on getting the Microsoft Surface 32GB, my son monopolizes the mini and the better half likes the MacBook Air.
I gotta say that I really am digging the feel of this. I picked it up today at Staples for $299!!!!!
I'll have to review it more when I get home.
How did you get that price
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Staples has them in-store right now for $399...I found a $100 coupon online which they honored. It was a mistake actually, he said if I actually followed the "print" link, it would've said that the Surface was excluded from the offer. Since I ended up just taking a screenshot of the coupon and picking taking that in.
Hi , sorry for the late reply , I got it from John Lewis , it was on their www for approx. 30 mins on day of release , I phoned reserved it and picked it up from Oxford Street , I paid £75 for the 3 year warranty including accidental damage too.
Its fantastic , been playing Black Ops on it all weekend obviously with a load of other stuff too , but the 360 controller just plugs in and away you go.
Amazing bit of kit ........
I got both a PRO and an RT.
The pro is a laptop with it's pros and cons. It got lots of power and speed but it gets a little heavy due to that.
The RT is the true tablet. Cool, light and runs for ever. Only downside is the limited amount of apps.
IT has replaced an older W7 atom tablet (I did run W8 on it).
Primary use for the RT is surfing the web, reading docs (PDF and epub mostly) plus keeping me connected to my social networks
I love my pro. It is a bit heavy, but I don't mind due to it functionality. For me it is just perfect. I have a note 2, and I think that is about the best combo. Nice android phone, win 8 pro tablet. I have tried a few other tabs: ativ 500, and series 7 slate upgraded to win 8. The surface kills them. Best ever IMHO. :thumbup:
From an unlocked Note 2. Hmm...... Can you hear me Verizon, out on Uranus?
Like my RT, even more so with 8.1 preview on it..
Ordered a Pro on the 24th May but MS are having issues with the online ordering system so I'm told by their reps.
Had to cancel my original order and place another one as the first was stuck, they did give me £100 discount though, however it now appears like my second order placed on the 17th) is also stuck, I've been told I'm going to be compensated again for this problem...
By the time it gets to christmas I might have a free one at this rate...
I have gone from the RT to the PRO and am very happy with the PRO. The RT felt a bit crippled and it annoyed me that the desktop mode on the RT was basically useless.
The PRO feels much better to use and the higher resolution is much better. I like the pen functionality and love I can run all my old software from Win XP to Win 7
The only downsides - the much worse battery life and price. Both I can live with If you're undecided and have the funds - go for the PRO imo.

In my experience if your having problems with a company you just drop a threat about trading standards into your argument somewhere and they give in, unless its murco in St Neots who did actually recieve a visit and fine from trading standards in the end.
Pretty poor tbh, nobody as MS can tell me why neither of my orders have gone through and all the Live Chat techs can tell me is that its been escalated and that someone will contact me..
I got one of each and I do like them booth.
The RT is my E-book reader, surfpad and facebook box.
The pro is going to be upgraded to enterprise (yes I do got the licence and BACKUP on that).
I just got to play with direct access from the pro to my home net
I love my SP. I would've bought the RT in a heartbeat (esp since now my university will offer it for $250 with a touch cover) IF it could run android. Just too much I'd miss by switching over. I wish my SP would run android properly so I could sell my nexus 7 and just use the pro. ):
my surface rt
please tell me, i have bought the surface rt with university promoting. is a good tablet? is a good buy? im new in windows 8 and i am not a windows fan, linux better

Depends what you want to use it for tbh, but, Linux better, so why buy an RT if thats the opinion straight out of the box?

I bought to try, was a very good price, my course is engineering informatics, and have to be updated, and I've been programming for windows phone
well, i just bought my surface RT after my nexus 7 and im so happy.
I'm a student in IT engineer school, so i got my own server and it's so pretty to have on my tablet, a real RDP and get all access on my differents server. I will try for the vm ware web client, but for the moment is not install on my v center.
I jailbreak my tablet to get access, to notepad ++, filezilla, 7 zip, and he this surface became a powerful tool.

I'm considering selling my 4/128 (on Swappa) & moving to the 6/256 variant.
If I do,when I get the 6/256 MIX,you can have mine @ no cost.
If you can wait a couple weeks,I'll send it to you ASAP,but,I do want to keep the one I have now,most buyers will likely pass over my listing w/o it.
PM me if you want to discuss this further. :good:

I bought the 6/256, and I am extremely happy that I did so.
I've found 4.5 Gb of RAM routinely being used, and I never notice any lag or decreased speed in use.

I'm good w/4GB RAM,but,this phone may be a long-term keeper & I can actually see myself wanting/needing more local storage than the 4/128 model provides.
Should development take off,TWRP backups can take a nice chunk of space,however,in all actuality,I probably won't need the extra storage,but,it's nice to have vs the alternative(s)..............
@cms062407 :
In the meantime,I definitely recommend this case,if you're interested ( The sandstone finish is similar to that found on the OnePlus' 1+1 ):

Agreed, you can never have enough storage in my opinion and I also think the Mix is a.long term keeper.
It's a great consumption and content creation tool.
I also think Android is rather memory hungry.

Check your InBox ............................... :good:
To be quite honest with you, i'm not overly happy with the stock case:
1) earphone hole is too small. My normal earphones can't plug in. I might cut it open a bit to enlarge it.
2) Barely any screen lip - no screen protection
3) volume/power buttons don't stick out enough and are hard to find.
getting a couple cases from ebay, hopefully they are better.
I'm also looking to buy the original leather case. Mine didn't come with one due to the shortage. Unfortunately I bought it from a third party seller. I also have PayPal account. Please let me know if anyone is selling. Thanks.

yes, you can buy good spare parts here. try google translate. normally you will understand enough to get through the ordering process. if not you can call me again. i will ask a chinese friend, but this will take some time.
Oh, that's great news @sebj84!
I tried Google translate. I see that I can buy wristband in either white or black color. However, I can't make purchase if I continue with "google translated" page. On original web page there is price USD 24.93, maybe there are additional costs for delivery.
I'd like to buy that wristband, but I'm not sure for international delivery and I don't speak the language. Well, if there is any option to buy it on ebay, Amazon... (or similar), I'd more than happy to buy there.
On this "Taobao" page... huh, I'd rather transfer funds (also to cover the costs for shipping) via PayPal to someone who is able to buy this for me.

ok, if you can wait a little bit, there are more people asking me also on the g+ community.
actually i'm not good in chinese too, but i have some friends over there and i'm very near to china anyway (we have another factory there, and am there from time to time).
so if you wait, we can make an order all together and i'll ask my friend to organize this than for us. i just don't want to ask him every week, for this, so lets wait a few weeks to get all people who wants this together.
what you think?
Sure I can wait.

Thanks for this link. I don't understand a single character of Chines but I got through it all with Google Translate. The key is to set up an account first. I used translate on every page doing that. Set up a default shipping address in here. Once done add it to your cart. Then go to your cart and translate, check the item and settlement. It will want you to set an Alipay pin code. (just translate all the way through when needed). Once past that you enter your credit card info and then you are done. It took me 45 minutes to get through this but it was way cheaper than the other options.
I may have missed a step or two but you should be able to figure it out. I just bought a refurb watch and don't have it yet, but I wanted a spare and this was reasonably priced.
Don't bother. There is a hidden 115 yen logistics fee. I am in the process of a refund.

sorry you are right.... its yen. but isn't this almost the same? around 20 dollar
Yes it is Yuan, excuse my ignorance. I did end up going ahead with the order and the band is identical to the original, but seems slightly thinner and softer. And it works. It turns out to be half the price of the EBay leather covered band. Had it in Canada in 14 days.
How long does it usually take?

I have been waiting for 2 weeks I dont know if it will even arrive. How's the process on this?
I'm from the Philippines.
Hi! I own an LG Urbane 2 LTE, now the strap finally is showing the wear and tear and I'm planning to replace the strap (wristband).
Any idea where to get in 2018?
anyone got any idea what will stop working if the band is replaced with standard 22mm, I have read that it is related to LTE only, how about wifi and BT - are they affected, I will unlikely be using the LTE option so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work

I tried just a little and bt and wifi works, but I didn't test it to much.
I honestly believe that parts (the actual antenna's) of a broken band could be stripped out and remain connected to the watch for fitting of a standard 22mm band, this option would also fill the connections of the old original band maintaining the seal, I worked in electronics for years and carry out all repairs on my own phones - I have stripped down and repaired many, I believe my above suggestion could work, just a little care stripping out the old band
I don't think a regular band would end up looking right? Anybody actually try this?
New watchband supplier
I couldn't get through Taboo's website to order a new watchband there, Google translate didn't handle the pop-ups at checkout. But I found a website in Korea that has new bands, stock black or leather (sewn to stock black, apparently), $56. Seems pricey but it beats tossing my excellent LG Watch Urbane. Ordered & received new bands plus special screwdriver in about 2 weeks.

Your prices are really good. Wish we had them that low in Germany too...
Did pay more for faster shipment. I just order mine and it won't deliver til 30th
Ordered the wrong one by accident, wanted the 64gig one but got so scared that I will run into order issues and choose the 128 one by mistake. Oh well.

I mean... not the WORST mistake you could make I guess. lol. More storage space is always nice! Personally I wanted the NON-SHINY black version, but it wasn't worth spending an extra $50 for (not for me anyway).

Where do you live? I pd the 7.99 extra and it says arrives on friday.
and i ordered the midnight black 8/128
zero use for the extra storage, i keep maybe 10 apps, no music or video, maybe better when i sell it though some day.

Detroit MI USA- and yea, selling it later will likely return a good amount of the money you paid for it. Seems like OnePlus phones (especially after the 5) retain value a lot better.

once I get it on friday hopefully, I'll let you know
I ordered the 128gb model and also used the $20 voucher for accessories that somebody posted in xda. I got Karbon case for $10
Still debating selling my 5T for the 6. The mirror back is so nice... Decisions.
I ended up buying the 256 gig model. Worked out because I wanted the matte black anyway. Also got the prime bundle and a car charger. Coming from the 1+3t (wife will get that) I'm super excited to upgrade.

You're paying the price of a socialist government. Enjoy!
