Selling my Ameo

This Ameo is now sold, went for £265, thanks for all the interest

can you send photos of it ? all sides?

Have TomTom changed their T&C? It used to be specifically prohibited to sell on even with codes/ licenses.

Luckily, i am not selling their software, i am giving it away free with my Ameo !!, this way i stay within the terms and conditions of their software agreement, and if they dont even permit this, i am loaning out the software indefinitely to the lucky purchaser of my ameo!, either way, the software goes with the hardware !!

Well done!
I like it

Price drop to £275 spec still as above, lets see if there is any interest at this price !

price drop to £265, I wont go any lower than this, last price drop before it goes on ebay as my contract ends on Monday so i will be getting a new phone then and this one wont get used any more, i will be in central London on Monday if anyone wants to pay cash and collect it from me (new fetter lane area), otherwise i am in warminster in Wiltshire (near Stonehenge) for collections or can ship it at your cost

So I doubt if you'll get a reply....

Hi Black rider.
I am replacing it with a Tomtom 930T (has to be a T model) for my wife as i dont need sat nav any more, my new car has it built in, and she thinks the ameo is too complicated to use even though its as good as the 930T at sat nav and then does loads more on top !
so cash sale only please unless anyone wants to offer a 930T for trade ?

Hi again
ive got a brand new Tytn II as i mentioned before im tryin to swap it for a 930T hopefully will be done this week otherwise ill stick it on ebay and give u the cash mate
Thanks
Hamza

Another fail for them.

LOL, I got up early to check the site, saw 8am roll around and nothing! I knew checking on XDA would show others that share my impatience

W00t! In the cart, checking out now.
EDIT: F**K YOU BEST BUY for not wanting to ship that to my APO address!!!! Grrrrr!!!!!

Checked out for the win! Didn't go online until about 6 or 7 after 8am. I want it now! lol

Is it just me or can you only buy in a package? I want to buy outright.

am i kind of retarded? how to order without contract?!

I can only find the on-contract one, anybody see the $529 version ?

Seems like BestBuy doesnt accept foreign Paypal-accounts.
Thats at least what u can read in some german forums. -.-

same problem here, can't find how to order unlocked phone

Just click on it and it will ask you if you want to buy on contract or off.

Choose that you are an existing customer, and the outright option will appear.

Thank you very much, Singlespeed

but will it give us unlocked phones? I'm not a T-Mobile existing customer and I don't want a locked phone without contract (it stated on BB site that you can get also a locked phone without 2 year obligation for 529$)

There is no locked Nexus S. All are unlocked.

No problem.

Now we just got to hope that these suckers aren't locked to T-Mo.

it keeps saying there is a error when i try to checkout!!!!

buying a locked galaxy tab

hi everyone
happy new year
i have a question and i hope you guys can help me
i have family in Germany and USA and i thought maybe i can buy a galaxy tab from there and they send it to me, because it's 800$ in my country and i can buy one for 399$ in the USA (AT&T) and 199Euro (O2 and vodafone) in Germany (with contact)
now i want to know whether it's possible to buy one and unlock it?
AT&T says it's 2 year contact. does it mean you have to pay monthly for 2years even if you don't use their services? can they sue you or it's ok if you cancel the contract and keep the device for 399$ you paid at first?
i don't want my uncle to get in trouble
and one more thing
if i get one and even if i couldn't unlock it, can i still use the device? like for video, office programs and most importantly it's wifi.
i heard you must activate it first. can i somehow ignore/skip it?
thank you so much in advance
i hope you have a great year

Yes, you can unlock it.

A contract is a contract, regardless of whether you use the services or not, so yes you are supposed to pay. If you wish to terminate early, you need to pay an "Early Termination Fee" (see here). I would guess this means the ETF for a Tab is $325, which would mean you'd have been better off paying $649 for the device in the first place.
And yes, they can pursue you for this - in order to get a contract phone in the US, you need a credit check which means a social security number is required, so they can track down whomever purchased the device relatively easily.
Note, I'm not in the US, so some of this information may be out of date/incorrect, but I know as of 18 months ago getting a cell phone on contract without an SSN was almost impossible!
Regards,
Dave

If you get one in Germany, you can have it unlocked right there. According to German law IIRC, they are required to unlock it for you if you ask them. They are allowed to charge a small fee for it, usually around 50€. Still a good deal.
Maybe someone from germany can confirm or refute this?

thanks Dave and Rapax for fast answers
i think it's better if i buy an unlocked one
they both (AT&T and vodafone) charge for internet connections which i won't be able to use so it does'nt worse
Rapax, vodafone price is 199euro and 40 each month, you mean i can get the device for 199 and pay 50 more to unlock?
i'm not sure if it sounds right
you can have an unlocked galaxy tab for 250euro? i'm getting one immediately

Don't forget that the contract will still run, unlocking doesn't change that. So it's 199+50+24*40 = 1,209€ Not such a bargain, is it?

i will definitly not buy one
i thought it's gonna cost cheaper that way
you guys don't know a better way?

They have new ones.
Honestly you can get 4 used ones for that price. That's a lot of spare parts!
And returns are easy. But, As you wish...

You want GSM version only,right?

yeah i understand what you say but my relatives over there are not technology friends. they can't test the device to see if it's ok (just the look of it)

yes i want GSM version
actually i'm not gonna use it as a phone but GT is the only good thing i found that offers my need (light, small and touch). i'm paying for phone part but i won't use it
maybe i have to wait for ipad 7inch or maybe i should buy an Archos 70it
help me

Do you want to wait? If so there are some great things coming. We will see a doubling of power and storage within 6 months.
There should be a wifi only version out soon, which might meet your needs.
Conversely, find a ebay new product that will ship to you. Worse case you waste cash on shipping. still way cheaper.

I read galaxy tab wifi-only version is comming in Q1 this year
it's great news for me
I hope it's 400 not 500
so i wait
in the mean time, do you guys know other options for me? i mean other devices

safe buy unwanted upgrade s4

Please advise safe buy galaxy s4 unwanted upgrade phone? thanks

May help if you explain more. Safe to buy one or even you are selling one?
If someone is selling one as they don't want the upgrade then it may well be fine but you could pay a premium at the moment.

I want buy from private seller worries don't get blocked

Someone please translate OP...thanks

My best guess is he wants to buy a device from someone who is saying they are selling theirs as it is an unwanted upgrade. Not sure that would be something that anyone could give guaranteed advice on to be fair though. Caveat emptor and all that.

Phone blocked in UK

Hi peeps, need some advice.
I've been lurking on the Facebook marketplaces and I've seen an S8 for sale that is listed as being blocked in the UK. Could someone here be able to clarify exactly what this refers to? Is this regional blocking?
Any advice would be helpful.
Martin

That phone was either reported lost or stolen and an insurance claim was made either was bought on contract and the buyer failed to pay his bills. In any of these two circumstances british carriers are blocking the IMEI.

I'd recommend you spend ~£3 and get a CheckMEND report - that will give you some info as to why it is blocked as well

Thanks for the advice peeps, is there any way to get the IMEI unblocked so it can be used legally in the UK?

If it's being sold through those channels it's likely stolen.. So no.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated. I was leaning towards a too-good-to-be-true scenario...
