Hey Community,
I have moved on to a different phone and i wanted to give the people here an opportunity to possibly buy this phone from me for a reasonable price. Its an sim/cid unlocked cingular 8525 with the usual wear and tear that a phone gets.. its mostly had a screen protector on it so screen is in perfect shape, just a couple dings and whatnot on the rest of the phone.. i still have the box and all things that came with it including the software extra stylus etc. etc. i still have the receipt too if you would like that.. this phone is under a year old.. if anyone is interested please email me a reasonable offer.. i am not trying to get rich. I also do not smoke crack so please dont insult me with a 50 dollar offer.. I know what i paid for it and i also know what they are selling for on ebay.. i just want whats fair for both you and I . i am willing to trade however if someone has a blackberry(newer model, 8800, 8300, pearl [gsm only].
private message me only if you are serious about buying the phone
Thanks for your time

Returning for Galaxy Tab =X

Ok guys, it was a good run... a week run. I don't mind this tablet, I tried TNT 2.2 and ZPAD. I liked them both, TNT a little more.
-This tablet has AMAZING potential, and awesome hardware such as the processor. Software out of the BOX is again like everyone says: HORRIBLE.
Overall build quality is pretty good, not considering the little creeks you get holding the center of the back.
-The official thing that ticked me off to return this tablet was.....wait for it............ LCD Display and viewing angles. Im sorry but it seems like its from the Early 2000's not a display we would see in many electronics Now a days.
-Another deciding factor for me is the touch sensitivity, didn't do it for me. Not as sensitive as I would like.
-Non-illuminated keys, hard to use at night, keys get pressed easily at night.
So after thinking if i should wait for iPAD2, since the rumors are racing; or get Galaxy Tab,
Ive decided to get the Galaxy Tab - I got a brand NEW Galaxy Tab(Sprint) on Ebay for $500 - White backing, Sealed BRAND NEW In BOX. No contract.
I'll be turning the Data OFF and using it as WiFi only, It wont be linked to Sprint, I will NOT activate the 3g.
I got to check the device out, and its extremely portable, its nice. 7 Inch isnt THAT bad at all.
Any comments?

Sorry to see you go. Enjoy your new tablet!

I see these goodbye posts all the time in all the forums I've been a part of. And "sorry" is almost in each post?At the end you just need to be happy with your product. Personally I am not replacing this tablet for anything that's out right now because of the dual core tegra 2 processor. My next tablet is going to be another T2 but definitely a better screen and hopefully a gig of RAM. I don't care if its a 10 or 7 inch tablet because both are practically the same in reference to portability since I can't fit them in my pocket.
Honestly, the only goodbye post that I am looking out for is Roebeets, Rothnic, Bekit, or any other devs. But I figured i'd chime in because I don't think anyone should be sorry for moving on to a different device....unless you were getting a cruz tablet then it would be flame city for you. Jk
I'm sure you'll enjoy ur galaxy tab because its a nice device.

Not gonna disagree with any of your complaints, and if it is not right for you, then get the one you want.
Personally I don't mind the screen, since it is only for me, and I just hold it at the right angle. The non-illuminated buttons are a bit of a silly oversight (and I would much prefer real buttons to those capacitive ones) but I don't mind so much since it has on-screen soft-buttons.
I like it because it is well powered (battery and processor), inexpensive, and has a large display.
Most importantly is that it is easily modifiable. If it wasn't it would have gone right back. It nearly did anyway because I was falsely told by Sears' website that it was a viewpad 10. Since roebeet, rothnic, omiji (? sorry can't remember), and all the others I cannot name have made this device software so good I see awesome potential beyond the great tablet it has already become.
So VS owes XDA and it's senior modders a lot since without them probably all of us would have returned the POS that VS put on the shelves.
In summation Thank You to the XDA team working on the G tab, and if anyone else is thinking about returning this product consider this before you do so, because Samsung, Apple, or any other manufacturer will not give the type of updates and support you can get here from an open device like this, from a place like XDA.
And to the OP, I hope you enjoy your Galaxy better, I have a Captivate and I like it. I am sure if you want a good experience out of the box like what I have in my Captivate, you will be very happy with it.

I could not of said it better myself.

The notionink adam goes on preorder later today also for $400-500. I'd suggest looking into that tablet also.

Shouldn't be too bad, and at the price that Samsung is hawking these for they should support it for a while and better than any other currently shipping Android tablet.
7": yeah, I'm missing that form factor ALOT myself, but I just can't bring myself to give up Tegra2 for something lesser even for a better(IMNHO) form factor(7") nor a better screen(awful gTab viewing angles).
I'm keeping my gTab(actually I'm stuck now anyways past my 14d Staples return) and evaluating 7" complementary(to gTab) tablets, of which(ATM) Nook Color is looking nice w/IPS screen and a8 CPU plus now rooted. Just need to get over to a B&N and try out a demo unit... (want to see how overall system and browser fare speedwise @800MHz on an a8...)
Might just wait out until next year and see if anyone coughs up a 7" Tegra2 or one of the other SoC companies cough up their dual core a9 SoCs and they get in a 7"...
Notion Ink: They sound nice, but since they're a new/small tablet only company I'm waiting to see if they survive to release their 2nd tablet, hopefully Tegra3 based...

OP should avoid the 101 then, since mega gimped device.
Probably best to wait until March. There should be 2.3 or higher Tegra 2 tablets all over the place by then.
Maybe a very stable out of box 2.3 Gtablet by then too..... Maybe at least.

$375 only!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/09/notion-ink-adam-pre-order-to-begin-today-pricing-starts-at-375/

I have been refreshing the NI site for days ready to buy Adam but when I got up to bat I couldn't pull the trigger.
$375 is with a standard LCD - not PixelQI. PQ is $499 w/ Wifi or $550 w/ 3G
Shipping is $50 - the thing comes straight from factory in India.
However, a few things made me hesitate on the device I have waited a year on.
- you must also pay 'customs' but nothing states what this fee is
- shipping is $50 through DHL which is not insured
- ccavenue is processing orders and they do not take MC
- you are billed in full as soon as you place order while estimated ship date is 6-8
- given no further manufacturing delays and that shipping is quick 6-8 weeks is a long wait
- specs list "8+ GB Flash"...so is that 8GB or what?
- crazy amount of return conditions the least of which is getting RMA 7 no later than 7 days after shipment (probably take longer than that for DHL to get it to you) and a 20% restocking fee for 'open' items (that's $100 + return shipping)
- no mention of 'bad pixel' policy
So while I am in love with this thing and will be so jealous for those brave enough to order site unseen (not even a hands on or real photo on website) I am just not that brave.
Now the question is....do I open my gTablet and play with it until round 2 or do I look at something maybe a little bit pricier but with a better display?

For those that are wanting but not ordered an Adam - the Pixel QI versions are already sold out. All they have left now is the LCD version.
Since I couldn't pull the trigger on the Adam I guess the only thing standing between me unboxing my g tablet is questions of the viewing angles. Since my wife picked this up from the store I have not seen it in person. Is it really a deal breaker? What is Office Depot return policy on open products - I know during the holidays returns are extended until Jan 8 but not sure if that mean sealed in the box or not? I imagine I could just go and return it Dec 26 if it is that bad....stores are usually so crazy that day they ask few questions about returns.
Oh, and about Notion Ink. They updated their blog explaining some of the conditions (such as $50 shipping) and it is a little more comforting. I never doubted they were a good, honest company. I think my issue is that they are biting off more than they can chew.
Building a fantastic product in a lab is one thing - seeing a new product introduction through the entire manufacturing process is something completely different and that is where I am not sure of NI's experience. While the prospect of waiting sux, I think I am more comfortable doing so than jumping in on the first run.
It is not a question of NI taking care of me if there is an issues, it is a question of when. I am still jealous of all those who did place the order and will kick myself the day everyone starts posting their unboxing videos :-(

Office Depot will give you a return gift ticket for Jan 8th (they did for me). Since Flash and the acceleromter have issues out of box, Office Depot should allow return and no restock or forced store credit (they do this for opened electronics). The store manager wrote on my receipt "Full return allowed", since he was aware of the issues.

For personal viewing/usage I don't really find it to be that noticeable except when I rotate the tablet specifically to look at this and was simultaneously checking for backlight bleed(had bad bleed on GT & WPDN).
Sorry, but there's a problem with a company that immediately charges for an order when they KNOW it will not be shipping for a while. They're SUPPOSED to NOT charge UNTIL the item is shipped or about to be shipped. So this tells me that they're tight on money ATM...

Thoughts on G tablet Woot deal

Someone posted that over 10,000 were sold yesterday. I always wondered about that site and how they could make any money, but figure this, if they made $10 a piece on each that is one incredible day for even many of the larger retailers.
I thought this was going to be great for the G tablet community with which it would make Viewsonic take notice and develop more for this product.
But what if many who bought were resellers jumping on a bargain (my bet). Still eventually if they sold it would still be good.
I always thought the Apple fanatics were really out there standing in lines to buy the latest until it was explained that many were buying to resell and sell higher than retail. Still dopes to pay but does explain more.

The thing is there's little to be made for any who plan to resell. These retail for $350 to $370 and after ebay, paypal, and shipping fees we're only looking at maybe a $20 to $30 profit. Plus with woot limiting the amount you can buy I really think most of the G-Tablets sold yesterday were to people genuinely interested in the product. Well, at least I was one.

I know that our customer support group purchased quite a few of these yesterday .
I had been prodding them toward getting these as our mobile platform for a while, was super happy they came up on woot

I agree that most who got woot deals yesterday were buying for home use and not re-sell. People have been seeing the Gtab, and even through all the exxcitment of the xoom, interest in it was picking up. This just goes to show people are smarter with their money than given credit for and it gives a clear message that we are not willing to pay 6 to 8 hundred dollars for hype and a carrier contract.

I bought mine for personal use. I've been on the fence and could not pass up this deal.

I honestly had my heart set on the iPad 2 pre release, but then once I saw it didn't have retina and the price was still relatively expensive (for a 32gb 3G), I figured I might as well save my money. Once the woot deal came on, I did some research and stumbled across this community, and how couldn't I buy the product for just $280? I just signed up to this forum this week and I'm already addicted reading up on how everyone is modding their gTab. Thanks in advance to all the mods who will make my experience a pleasant one..

Bought mine for personal use as well. Been on the fence for a while over a tablet saw the woot, liked the price and after some research here and elsewhere decided with some fairly simple tweaks this would fit all my needs in a tablet.

Bought mine for personal use and work. Part of my job is providing support for my company's mobile apps, and it is much more convenient to have my own than dig up where the company hardware is hiding. I also have a toddler and we are going on a 4 hr plane trip next month, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity for an electronic babysitter for the trip at this price. (There may be toddler/mom deathmatches over who gets to use it as both of us are geeks)

Bought mine for personal use yesterday too.

I can't wait
Hi purchased the nook color when it was 200 bucks for ebay. and i love it.
It is used at my restaurant as digital photo album / menu
the face that you can grab it with one hand and do demonstrations with it is awesome.
But it is lacking in some ways.
Purchased the gtab for personal use, front facing camera etc. I dont know how usable it will be, but I am hoping the dual core processor helps things out more.
honestly loading webpages on the NC with dolphin or skyfire was ok. but not great, and it definitely could not unseat my netbook that i also carry around with me wherever i go.
I think 285 bucks delivered for a dual core tablet with these specs and the best user group community on the planet (XDA) which has always helped me with my droid1, fascinate (for a friend) nook color, and now gtab... is a super steal. to borrow the words of another forum post: Lucky mofos.

So was I! This is going to be my first foray into tablet computing. At such a low price with real hardware, this going to let me get my feet wet, and if I hate it, i'm sure i can sell it at just a slight loss. Hoping I love it though!

Was in for one as well, though I'd just grabbed a Nook Color (just before that eBay deal); was impressed with how much more usable the larger screen was, and how much it felt like I was trying to work with a postage stamp when I swapped back to my G2.
Then this came up, and couldn't resist long enough for them to sell out.
Actually ended up sucking a few friends in as well..

I had no idea the makers of my TV made a tablet. I jumped on this when I read the specs. Hopefully Woot doesn't take more than a month for this thing to ship out.

to good a deal to pass up....needed a new toy to play with

I just picked up the NC a few days ago. I never even heard of the gtab until it popped up on woot. I've returned my NC.. the hardware on the gtab for the price can't be beat.

Just watch ebay. Yesterday there was one gTab listed with 7 days left current price of like $180. I think there will be lost on there and the price will end up falling on ebay and people wont be able to sell them for much (if any) more then they bought them for.
I plan on keeping mine. Bought it for personal use. Wanted a galaxy tab, but didn't want a contract or to spend 400-500.
I can survive a $280 fight with my wife, not a $500 one.

Good deal, bought for personal use also.

One closed yesterday around $315 after paypal and ebay fees you'd lose a bit of money on the deal. Personally I bought one for me, just wnated to see ebay pricing in case I didn't like it.

Given that only about 3% of purchasers purchased 3 at once I doubt that very many were purchased for resale.

same with me, you took the words right out of my mouth

Abandon my cracked N5?? :( help

I've had my 32 gb black n5 from the play store basically since launch and now I've finally cracked the screen badly.
I'm off contract and on att in the US, what should I do?
I've been perfectly happy with stock Marshmellow on it but now I'm trying to decide if I should fix it or get something like a Oneplus3 or S7, etc.
I'm jaded having the purity of the nexus and the ease of swapping roms at a whim and the Samsung devices turn me off in regards to that. On the flip side the S7 etc would be a monthly add on to my bill vs spending a good $400+ up front.
Third option is invest my time and maybe $50ish on swapping an lcd/digitizer/glass combo and dealing with my beat up n5 and waiting for the upcoming Nexuses.
Thoughts/opinions?
PS 2x I've tried calling Google for the 1 time replacement thing you may have heard of for N5 owners, (google it), and so far they just send me to LG for a repair quote.

Yesterday i changed my N5 screen in just under 20 minutes, it is so easy i felt i did something wrong, because it shouldn't be this easy.
this is the video i used to understand the process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xL4H6_tRoQ .
please be gentle when removing things and you will have your phone back.

Thanks for the particular vid link. If I can find a decent price for parts I'll take a crack at it. I've disassembled other phones before, just not my N5.
What parts did you buy, just the glass or more?

I recommend buying the lcd, frame, and glass as a preassembled unit. I purchased screens from aliexpress for around 40 usd. These screens aren't as bright as the original but they are quite good for the money.

Sounds good, I'd rather spend $40ish to keep my N5 alive. Nothing else out right now makes me want to jump ship. I can't believe some places want to charge people like $100+ for doing it for you.
Right now I'm perfectly happy running stock marshmallow on this thing. I've had so many ROMs on this and it does everything I need. I'm not ready to let go!
Thanks for the input everyone.

I did the same. Just bought the screen and frame for 34$ on ebay and brightness is good. Screen bleed at the top is visible. But until this year's nexus device releases in using this phone.

BTW a quick heads up, if you want to get a real screen replacement/one that isn't lower quality you should really go with etrade parts and supply co. They are suppliers for official phone repair shops, and also have an online store. http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexu...itizer-assembly-with-front-housing-21773.html That is probably what you want and its only 47 bucks atm, but there is shipping from them (and its expensive because they are used to bulk orders...again for shops.) There are definitely other places you can get them, but that is the only 100% reputable dealer I have found in the US so far. Also you can order the lower quality screens from them too for I think 40 dollars if you check the site,

good camera for $500 - $600? [what should I buy]

Hi, so my girlfriend wants a phone with a good camera, above the average really, for this kind of price, between 500 and 600 bucks.
phones in Brazil are usually pretty expensive, so she wants to buy one during our stay in los angeles next month, but shopping for unlocked phones in the US is surprisingly difficult.
my first choice for her was the oneplus 6, which is around that price and is a great bang for the buck, problem is we can't ship it to the airbnb we're staying, and they don't sell it anywhere else other than their website. an amazon locker would be an option but someone is selling oneplus 6 on amazon for like $100 more than the msrp, which is a no-no
so that excludes pretty much most of the chinese phones. then I suggested her a galaxy s9 which is a little above her budget but has a top camera, and sells on stores like best buy, but I've been collecting testimonials from people that had samsung's infamous curved screen phones, and not one single person managed to keep the screen intact for more than 6 months. apparently it breaks as soon as you grab the phone, regardless of cases and screen protectors.
this budget range is like a gap, there are a million phones for less than $400, and a gazillion for more than $700.
I wanted something that didn't have:
-thick last generation top and bottom borders, (notches and thin borders are fine)
-huge screens (small ones like the s9 are great, could go a little bigger than that)
-curved screens (this doesn't bother me as much as I'd think, but people say it breaks instantly so it got me worried)
-glass back (ok this is a tough one, everything has glass backs these days, so I guess I won't be able to avoid this one)
I know it's quite specific, but really I just want a good phone with a good camera that doesn't have major design flaws, costs around 500-600 and is sold in physical stores (or maybe on amazon, assuming it's not overpriced).
why is this so hard?
any suggestions?
