Urgent Advice needed please!!!

Ok guys, here it is:
Contemplating buying a used Verizon version Xoom 32GB in good condition (no scratches) with wireless bluetooth keyboard and cover/case for it for $350. What do you guys think about this deal? I think it's pretty good considering the prices they go for used on eBay and Amazon Marketplace. I need some advice...and soon. I'm supposed to meet this guy in an hour and a half.
NOTE: I'm aware this does not belong in the DEV section and will delete it as soon as I get some input. I'm literally supposed to pick this thing up in an hour and I'm on the fence about getting it...also, I got no views on my post on the Q&A thread. Please help guys and excuse the post in the wrong section.

hmmmm
Asking this in a forum full of Xoom owners the answer is obvious..
Buy it root it love it!
.

Thanks for the reply...I'm not questioning the quality of the Xoom. I'm just interested in whether I am getting a good price considering it's used.

I'd definitely say it's a good deal. You're getting the 3g xoom, bluetooth keyboard and case for less than the price of the xoom new. Would jump on that!

ONLY buy on the condition you immediately flash the latest Tiamat rom But this thread will be moved in about 30 seconds is my guess

[Q] UK phone recommendation please

Hello,
I've had my fun with the old Blade, then G300, then Desire S, then Desire HD and last January I purchased a One X+ from Vodafone.
Unfortunately this last purchase was of poor planning. Within weeks of buying this "latest" phone HTC decided the phone was old hat and out comes the M7 (One). I was really miffed about this, Vodafone dropped the phone from their sales within weeks of launching it too. Bit shi**y of HTC if you ask me but that's life I guess and the world of mobile manufacturers.
The phone is unlocked and rooted and there is a limited amount of dev work going on for this phone on xda (those few do a great job), but the phone has pretty much come to the end. Sense 5 has filtered out for the phone slowly, but I can't see HTC supporting it any longer. I really expected to enjoy this phone more than a few months!!!
I might sell it, it seems the resale value is still pretty good and I could easily purchase a Nexus 4 or other dev friendly phone and still have some change left over.
That being said, can anyone recommend a phone for £100 or under, decent size screen, decent specs and above all is dev friendly (plenty roms, active community, easily unlocked/rooted)?
I'm in the UK and use the GiffGaff/O2 network, so it would need to be unlocked/network free. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was unsure where else to ask.
Thanks.

Have a look at the xperia m just got one and very happy with it good specs for the price, mine came in at 200 euro off contract.

If you want a really new one even if it doesn't have the best specs you can get the moto e, but if you want a really solid phone that isn't exactly supported by google but is capable of a ton for ~$100 then the galaxy nexus is a great phone and you can get them new for about that price unlocked.

note 2 verizon
Note 2 verizon can be found for $150 on ebay if you watch watch watch.

sold out everywhere?

Why is the tablet sold out every where all of a sudden? I am going crazy waiting for my HTC 10 so I decide today after looking for probably 3 months that I am going to pull the trigger and buy the shield tablet to have while waiting for my phone, and look now they all sold out? Is this just my bad luck? While searching for one to buy I am also seeing a lot of comments about the recall.... does this have something to do with it? As a side note if anyone knows where I can order one right away for same price as Nvidia let me know. Nvidia said they would be having them again in a couple days so i am not really willing to pay too much more.

is it really needed to create another thread? You asked the same thing some days ago already. It would - apart from that - be really handy to know where you are living, as the availability may differ between countries.

No I didnt ask the same thing... I only decided to buy the thing today so that is not possible... previously I had asked for input on the pricing and if anyone knew of any deals. This is a question that stemmed from my decision to actually go ahead and purchase the device and finding out that they were sold out everywhere. My question being if there was a reason for this and the possibility of it being because of recalled units.
thanks so much for your reply even though it is completely useless and displays no intelligence... Its always entertaining to see people who take the time to reply to a question to just make a comment rather than answering the question.... To answer your question though sir, I am in the US... just as it states right next to my user name and in my profile. :laugh: :good:

[Completed] Replacing tablet motherboard

Hi!
I have an Asus ME176C tablet (Memo Pad 7 serie) aaand I fried the motherboard. As my old phone at this point is only good for making calls, without tablet I'd need a new phone/tab, but I don't have the money and probably won't be able to buy a new one for some time. Because of this I've thought about replacing the motherboard, but I have a few questions about this.
1) Is it possible that other parts connected to the MB are damaged as well? Battery, screen, anything. So basically, if I get a working motherboard, how likely it is to work?
2) The tablet came in 2 versions, 8GB and 16GB. As far as I know, everything else is the same (on paper), only the storage is different. Can it cause a problem, if I put the different one in?
3) This one is to those who actually have experience: outside of some foreign webshop that doesn't ship to my country, I only found 2-3 motherboards on Ebay. I only bought cheap minor stuff so far from there and don't know how things are in this area. I know there is always a possibility of a scam, but is it more likely with things like this? Should I go for it and hope for the best, or is this kind of stuff maybe a no-go on Ebay? Sadly I can't post links, but maybe someone can search for it and see how legit it looks? The one I was looking at goes under the name "Placa Base Motherboard Asus MemoPad K013 ME176C 8 GB"
Thanks for the help.
