just got my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) less than a month ago. works great, it's just not for me. my Krzr just works better for me and i'm much more comfortable with it. i live in the Bay Area in CA and would love to sell it to a fellow ROM flasher before i go to e-bay. i can provide pics if need be but i honestly barely used it. it maybe has 90 mins of talk time on it and 20 mins of internet usage before i decided it wasn't for me. i flashed back to the Original AT&T ROM and reverted to original Radio and SPL so it's back to OUT-OF-BOX stock. have the Original CD and of course manuals and USB cable. buyer pays for shipping and i will ship same day of sale if possible.
P.S.
sorry if this post does not belong here but as stated above, i can EASILY sell on e-bay so i figured i'd give first crack to you guys/gals.
P.S.S.
also just an FYI, no SIM card included. you need your own.
PM me for questions, etc.
$200
Give me you PayPal address or how you'd like me to pay you.
whats the asking price
i wanna know did u add any apps to the phone if so what r they cause i also have the tilt but converted for t mobile and i love it and if i but how soon can i get it am mario my number is 1 267 516 4422
djhitcity, i would edit my post and remove my phone number if i were you
no apps added. i messed around with a few ROMS and apps but flashed it to stock to sell. as for $200...search e-bay and see how much even a used Tilt is going for...sorry bro give me a FAIR offer...

I can buy the Tilt, brand new, with no contract for $285 via my business account. I thought my offer to you was fair, sorry.
The Tilt has no front camera...
Kaisers seem to be less troublesome for flashing etc from what I've seen also...

LOL @ the guy selling a broken LCD Tilt for the price that new and slightly used devices are going for.

not sure why it's "lol." proves the value of these badboys. knowing you can sell yours for $200+ even when it is BROKEN is pretty reassuring.
I'm pretty sure that jon_k is LOL'ing at the seller of the broken Tilt, not at you.
$400 seems like a pretty fair price for a almost new Kaiser/TyTN2.

i agree about the price...and i'm not even expecting the full $400. and i wasn't lol'ing at jon_k either, sorry for the confusion.
Hey guys, my screen has a huge crack. It appears to be behind the actual glass though.
Its a refurbished phone, and its not under my name, the best I can find is like $180 to repair, if not more.
What can I do? Any services here? Running out of options....
Thank you for your reply

Your best option is to get a new screen off ebay and isntall it yourself. The avg price is about 150$ atm but has been as low as 80$.
There are quite a few videos (mobile tech video has one I believe) on how to do it.
I know this link isn't helpful to you now, I post it to show that occasionally a good price shows up for a captivate screen and digitizer.
~cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320684839256&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT~
I bought this a few weeks ago for my wife's captivate, and it was pretty easy to install with the help of some youtube videos.
This is the cheapest I can find today:

**** kall. Att said that u lost the phone and they will send u a new 1 that's what I did and just pay those 125 deductible.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the reference guys. PM sent I actually do them for a little more than the cost of the assembly. I do the full digitizer/lcd for a professional repair with OEM parts.
I know I messed up by not getting the 5 dollar insurance. I sure am pissed of at myself now. To make matters worse I purchased my triumph on Ebay. lol. Does any cellphone repair store deal with these phones already, I might have to check sometime this week But is there any website where maybe I can purchase a gorilla glass screen replacement. I would gladly take on the repair challenge myself. Thanks everyone! Hopefully someone can help and I would greatly appreciate it!
(Edit) A nice VM chick allowed me to get it insured, surprisingly I still had time. If anyone wants to ill open it up for sure when I receive my new one.... for science!!!
Not to rub salt in the wound but I seen a bigger screen and figured I'd be the first one to break it so I got the insurance. I got mine from Best Buy. Might be a dumb question but will VM warranty it?
I believe BB only warrants the phone usually for 30 days, I'm not to sure. Regarding VM as soon as you sign up, you often receive a text that lets you add on insurance for 5 extra dollars. GET IT!! Because as of now my best hope is to just go to a random repair shop and see if they can even fix it.
Hey, do us a favor - take a photo of the broken screen and post it here!

http://imgur.com/a/fMIeG Here ya go! Basically the touchscreen still functioned but about 80% of the top screen was not working at all. Then the battery died and it did not want to take a charge anymore. Basically both issues are unrelated it just so happens that Motorola really rushed this thing, and you can tell what a terrible job they did looking at the whole sub-forum. I wish I would have avoided spending 300 bucks and would have grabbed the Optimus V instead, I never hear anything bad about it. And being a college student I cant afford a 100$ monthly plan.
(EDIT) Really looking at this, I don't even know if the glass broke or if the touchscreen did. I don't feel anything on the outside. You guys are the experts, I will gladly open it up for you guys if you want. I just need to buy those tiny screwdrivers.
OUCH!~!!!!!!! Sorry man

mod edit: Watch the language please. If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
I thought I read somewhere that VM warrants their phones for a year, no matter where you buy them. I could be wrong, and it could be for manufacturer's defects only. I'll look for the link when I get home.

One-Year Warranty

I seriously doubt that would cover a cracked lcd screen. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Yeah...there it is. The worst that can happen is they laugh at you...but what have you got to lose at this point? Maybe they can at least ship you a heavily discounted one...you never know.
Ouch that really sucks man
Well if all else fails you can always try and repair it your self.
It might cost a bit since some of the newer phones are coming with the lcd and the glass as one unit...
I might be wrong and only need to purchase the glass...
Good luck and hope you well

I'll eventually find a way to fix it. The good thing about it being prepaid is I can stop paying anytime without penalties. Thank you so much for being a kind person and wishing me good luck!

Not that it bothers me either way - I'm actually glad someone helped you out, BUT, couldn't this be considered a form of insurance fraud?

Just remember that if you claim it as lost, you'll have a $100 deductible. Here's the VM claim site:

I knew about the deductible beforehand though. Thanks the link really helped.

Hey guys less than 30 days ago I bought a GS3 from best buy on Verizon. Last night I dropped it and of course it bounced and fell down a 3 story stairwell and shattered the screen and broke. Since its been <30 days I should be able to get protection from best buy or Verizon (Asurion) or others, but I wanted to ask you guys for advice on what I should do and if there is anything I'm not thinking about. I really really don't want a refurbished phone but if it's my only option then I have no choice. If anyone has a recommendation on what insurance plan to get please let me know. Thank you in advance!
I would check to see which plan would cover the device faster. I may be wrong and probably am, but assurion used to have a 2 week window in which you could not make a claim from the date of insurance purchase. Not sure how it is now. Their reason for the two weeks was to make sure the device was working when coverage was purchased to cut down on folks buying broken devices then turning around and filing a claim. Hope this helps.

I think Best Buy will give you another one in the store after you pay the deductible. Couldn't hurt to give em a call and grab a case while you're at it :good:.

I used to work at best buy when I was in college. In order to put the protection plan on the phone after the date of purchase you have to have the device with you so they can make sure it isn't already broken. Unfortunately if you didn't get the protection plan when you bought the phone the best buy route won't work.

Best Buy has no deductibles
Good luck OP...I hope you plan on keeping the insurance after you purchase it.
Not sure if this borders on fraud...kind of like having a house fire while on the phone with the insurance company trying to add coverage
so will close this.
What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

Link is in their blog post. https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer
While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!
So I filled out the form, is there suppose to be an email confirmation?

No, I originally bought it for $699. Got best buy to price match it back to $499 after the price drop.
