i'm buying a used att 8525 thats has scratches and dents but the screen is protected by a screen protector and has no scratches.. the owner says he's been getting dropped signals and believes it to be a software issue.. does anyone know whether it's be a software issue or hardware? it's only 100 dollars as is meant to be a backup for my tilt.. any help would be appreciated..
Never heard of that before. That would raise a red flag with me and I would kill the deal and go look on ebay instead. I've had mine for two days now - att 8525 - I love it.
alright.. i had a 8525 b4 i bought my tilt but just wanted a backup phone.. for when i'm flashing my phone and reinstalling stuff since it takes me a while to fully put everything back with such a hectic schedule.. i remember some radios having bad signal and thought maybe of jus reflashing the radio.. so i just wanted to see other peoples opinions as to whether it could have been a hardware issue..
I picked up my used 8525 on ebay - and the original owner also mentioned that he dropped the odd call here and there - and was having communications issues with the sd card.
I did some reading and searching on this site - and there are radios that have better reception than others - and dropped calls can be radio related.
I thought that the majority of the issues were software related - so took a chance, and picked up the phone.
I payed $50.00 - and thought it to be an okay price to pay on a maybe phone. I unlocked and installed HardSpl and have been flashing roms for a few weeks now.
Not a single dropped call - and no communication issues with the sd card.
Good luck with whatever you choose
Have a good one

I'm having to sell my 8525
I got migrated at work to the blackberry, so I am going to sell my Cingular/ATT 8525.
I re-flashed it to Official WM6 from ATT. It has IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10.Olipro Hard SPL v7. It has been a stellar phone.
It has 2 scrapes on the outer edge( before I got it a helmet) and NO scratches on the screen.
What is a fair price for a buyer and myself? I'm not looking to get over on anyone; I want buyer and myself to be happy.
Would come with all original boxes and power cables, 1gig micro SD, extra battery, charging stand.

You could always donate it
That being said, have a look on eBay and see what prices these things are going for. It's easier to get an idea of what the market is doing that way.
Hey .. let me know how much you want for it .. I just had mine stolen and to get a replacement here in Germany from 02 is 699 Euro wish is about 1000 US dollars. =(
I'm military so i do have a USPS address.
i'm actually trying to sell my 8525 as well. i just dont feel i get enough use out of it for what its worth.
think $325 is asking too much? i mean i paid $500 for it. i'd say the phone is in a condition of 9/10. there are two small scratches, one in the upper right and one in the bottom left. the screen is scratch free. its completely functional, i've never had any problems. hardly any wear and tear, i mean a few specs if you get up close with a magnifying glass.
i have all my original accessories & i'm throwin in a 2gb card. plus i have a load of software for the phone. right now it has the official at&t wm6 rom.
ps: if anyone is interested contact me darx07(at)gmail.com
EDIT: i'll sell it to anyone in US $300 shipped. anyone else, $290 + shipping.
I also wanna sell mine too...my sis got 1 cuz she liked the qwert but then now she thinks it's too big
Comes with a bluetooth bought from frys - brand 'Mini Blue', a bluetooth keyboard, a crystal clear case, a 1gb micro sd, and a car charger
i only have the items listed above, i do not have the wall charger, or the earpiece or the y-cable, etc...
there are scratches, but very minor, and the screen always had a screen protector attached.
Currently has K's Final Rom Full Ver and it's unlocked
$300 shipped
Paypal confirmed address only
Please PM me for more info n pics

I bought the I-Mate JAM for my wife a few months ago thinking I could teach her all the cool things it can do like my PDA2K but she still doesn't like it. I was thinking about posting it on ebay, but wanted to give everyone here a chance to make me an offer before I posted it. Is anyone willing to make a reasonable trade or offer for it? She really likes the new RAZR's so I am open for a few days then its off to ebay for it.
post an offer here or email me [email protected].
I will post pics later today as it does have one or two scratches.
Here is a pic
A scratch on the display is a no-go for me. If she doesnt even want it, why couldn't she use a screen protector the time being? I have one on it and are using it.
I sent it to here while I was away and she didn't know how to put it on. The scratch isn't that big either, the flash on the camera kind of makes it look alot bigger.
$200
I'd be interested to know what you get on ebay for it.
I'll be putting mine on there at some point soon With a 1gb SD card, Spectec WiFi card and DeskDock. Not sure how much to expect though. :S
My wife has a RAZR and aside from being thin an light she is quite disappointed with it. As always no other phone can beat the user-friendlyness and features of a Nokia.
I am sure my wife will be disappointed with it also. No offense to women, but with cell phones its always what's new and small.
The cons are as follows:
- wake up alarm wont work if the phone is off.
- fonts are too small (for bad eyes).
- though one could input various numbers for one contact, when viewing, it displays each number as one individual entry.
- the phone's battery can only be charged via the supplied adapter and/or the usb cable (but only when connected to a PC). it does not work with my universal usb charger which i use for my s100 and bt800.
- assigned sms tone does not work if an international sms is received.
i wonder how the motoQ will be like in practice.
How do you manage to scratch the screen like that?! I had my phone for 4 months before my screen protectors finally came in the mail (expansys.com.au being slow, long story). I used the phone all day every day, let my girlfriend at the time use it and my dad and it doesn't have a mark on the screen!
Did she accidentally use a pen instead of stylus or something?
As I said before its not as big as it looks, the flash made it look bigger. But the scratch was from her nail when she was getting them done and tried to click on something.
Fair enough. I could imagine if you're looking straight down at it you'd barely notice. Still, unlucky!
My guess at a value would be slightly over half the standard retail price. I reckon I'd pay that. In Australia Jams sell for AU$900 roughly, I'd give you $500 but I have no money!
Ebay Australia has some in "as new" condition going for AU$600.
Hi , I will buy it for 200 USD. Agreed ?
rexxxx,
Common man Jimmy-Bish just offered me 377.191......
I was really hoping to get a trade w/some $$ becuase I will have to replace the phone as soon as I sell/trade this one.
Alfred, what's my new price (AU$900) compared to the US price? I put in that theoretical offer based on the Australian market at the moment.
(Oh, and it wasn't a rock solid offer. like I said, I have no money... sorry!).
Jimmy-Bish I was comparing it to the 500 you said, I know your not interested but that is a more reasonable offer.
ILL TAKE IT????
IF you'd sell it for AUD$400 including post ill take it it dose come with all chargers and stylus and box and wat-not dosent it?

are you still interested? sorry i haven't checked this post in a while and i never posted the jam on ebay either. i got caught up in the BlueAngel release of WM5.0 I personally have the PDA2K.
My beloved MDA dropped today...it still works, BUT, the usb port is loose, and Assurion doesn't have any to swap out under insurance...they offered me the Wing (gag me!). I am seeking a working Wizard with a solid usb port...locked or unlocked (hello lokiwiz)...
I will not respond to "you can have mine for $300"...I can get one on ebay for $160 or less.
If you have moved on and want to part with your WORKING Wizard, please contact me.
"you can have mine for $300"
Thanks.
You know, my mama always said::
"EVERYONE LIKES A LITTLE ASS, NO ONE LIKES A SMART ASS"
I'm serious. I am willing to pay the $110 insurance would charge me, up to about $160-ish, which is what I have found as the asking price on ebay
...if anyone has an old, but WORKING, Wizard, and you have upgraded to a new device and don't know what to do with the Wizard, please contact me. If the condition is good and your price fair, I would be very interested in getting it.
Thanks.
Y not take Wing?
It is the same thing as MDA but just thiner. Oh well - tastes are different, although I have Like New MDA that I am using currently and not really want to move on cuz it works for me at this moment. If it happens I hear from some1 that wants to sell, I'll pass that onto you.
Anyway - I wouldn't recommend eBay to anyone when it comes to buying MDA. Friend of mine bought 1 - supposedly refurbished perfect cosmetic condition and received BEATER!!! Scratches all over the phone, screen damage, opens on its own - I mean he was looking to get the deal and got bad beater phone. Later on he got brand new Wing from Tmobile.
MDA story was completed by seller not responding to his e-mails and he filled with paypal a dispute so he got the money back and never sent the phone back to the seller. He sold the phone as is on the ebay for 170$ ... with all the explanations and everything...
I bought mine on ebay and is LIKE NEW (Or even new!)
It depends on who you buy the products.. There are many sellers and many are legit!
If you havent bought yet dont say that...
pm'd with offer
If you go through eBay, just avoid "rob3474." I got a Qtek 9100 from him that was supposed to be "like new." Suffice to say, it has a lot of wear and needed some attention before it would function semi-properly. Still having some issues with it a month later...
I sent you a pm with an offer
Still looking...
I have not been very active since having surgery. I got some great PM's but a couple fell through, so...
I am still seeking a working, reasonably priced Wizard-preferably a G3. My main concern is not with cosmetics, I just need a well working Wizard with a very SOLID usb port.
I have been quite busy with doctor appointments and physical therapy, so please be patient with me, I will respond to PM's.
I am thinking about upgrading shortly, I have a fully unlocked G3 Wizard. Will let you know if I do decide to upgrade. It has typical scratches on the body, usb is solid and it works great.

Well I had a potential sale fall through, so I am again back looking for a good condition (solid usb port, gently handled) Wizard. Preferably a G3. I am willing to go as high as $150 with shipping, and will pay with Money Order or Visa Gift Card, or if you bank with Wells Fargo, a direct money transfer. I will NOT send cash (I do not trust the USPS and want to have a recourse if the payment is lost in the mail), and I cannot use Paypal because my account is frozen due to some supposed fraudulent activity (I suspect someone tried to hack my account). If you have an MDA in good condition and want to sell, please PM me.
Thanks.
Ill trade you my MDA for the wing that you are going to receve.
It is in good shape. (although I have to be honest I dropped it once or twice)
It was mostly held in it's case untill I lost it. then I bought a black plastic cover/skin for it. It doesn't look like I just bought it. The plastic cover I bought for 10 buck makes it look like it.
I could use an upgrade, but I'm not due untill september.
I love my wizard. it is very durable, and well worth the cost; so I won't be upset or offended if you don't take the offer
I hope you find what you are looking for. if not PM me
I got a new Hermes through warranty exchange with AT&T the other day. It's in perfect working condition, no scratches or dings (yet), the keys are all responsive and clean. If I can sell it for enough to upgrade to a Tilt, I would. I can leave it locked or unlock it, it's loaded with a hacked WM6 from these forums and HardSPL. I'd even throw in the 2 GB micro SD card with it. A Tilt is $300 on the AT&T website, or if you were able to get one cheaper on eBay or somewhere, that would be acceptable as well. Of course, if you could get it for cheaper on eBay, I supposed you'd just keep it for yourself. But it doesn't hurt to put it out there, I guess. Anyway, contact me at dane.butters ]]at[[ gmail.com if you are interested! Also, please don't flame me if this is in the wrong place. Thanks!
So I lost my Vogue and decided on getting a mogule as a replacement. (In between I had a BB 8703e, which was a terribly boring phone. 16 megs of ram, not SD card support, no music, no wifi, no Roms to play with, etc)
Anyway, I ordered one off ebay with had a "Scratched screen". It was $107 (the retail price at telus was $549).
The scratched screen turned out to be an LCD crack which made half of the screen black.
I took it in to telus, and showed it to them. I said that it had been droped (no lies there, just a guess) and asked how much it would cost to fix it. They said that they didn't fix those things but that I could replace it for $125.
That was suprisingly pleasant. No questions asked. No waiting. No home brew electronics work (I've done a fair bit of this on wifi's parts and other gadgets, it can be fun, but I am not that talented and time required, along with the risk of destroying the phone made the option unpleasant).
Also, I was not able to find anyone selling P4000, Titan or equiv screens for anything less than $150.
Yeah, that is their standard, they send the device in for warranty work and send you a refurb, if it is determined that it does not qualify for warranty they simply charge you $125.
Ok so during a party.. i dropped my phone in the back yard.... didnt realize it until the next day when i couldnt find it... well when i walked outside (in the cold rain) I found it under 3" water...
well the phone works... still works like a champ... but however only one thing is not working.. I cant get the screen to recalibrate...
i reset the phone.. didnt work... put OEM rom on it and when you boot it up.. it says... tap here to setup ... well I tap and that works (so touchscreen working????) then go to click the middle of the screen but to no avail.....
put the rom in my sig back in.... and on touch flo I can slide my finger across the bottom..... back and forth... but then stops working...... weird...
went to sprint to "see what would happen"... guy opened it up and said that there was this small piece of corrossion... you could barely see it but i wasnt about to argue.... he said i had to go through insurance.... he then said insurance is up to $125!!!! WTF!!!! I pay $7 a month for 2 phones minimum!!!!! to overpay for a replacement!!!!! im cancelling the insurance...
but i do have $175 credit with sprint.... do they have a replacement yet? lady on the phone tried getting me to buy the touch pro.... $575 - $175 - $100 MIR = $300 up front and $200 after rebate.... dont want to put that out right now....
all the palm stuff means all my apps wont work.... so that sucks...
Well the touch pro is wm so I dont know why you think it is palm. And submit a claim online on assursion website. I am fairly certain is is not $125

sorry for the confusion on the palm side... i was trying to say that the touch pro is too much for me right now.. i could go with one of the palms but then all my apps are no good....
also i just checked on the website and the deductible is $100.... so not sure what im gonna do yet.... need a phone...
my wife wants me to use her fusic.... but it wasnt good enough for her....but i guess it is ok for me now... i need my wm!!!!!!! NEED MY XDA ROMS!!!!!!!!!!!
Start the insurance claim. It will state which phone your phone will get replaced with. You might be a upgraded to the 6850 which is the TP. Heck $100 is great for a TP.
You could do surgery. More than likely the corrosion is causing a short. A small fine brass brush & a 5x eye loop could do the trick. I've had to do this at least 3 times with my girlfriends phone (her work environment and constant need to have on hand. Inevitable). I found corrosion (the blueish kind) in the connectors between the head and body & the USB connector. It's amazing how hardy these phones seem to be (3in water. wow).
But reading your post. I would say you still have water in the screen. This causing a short. For a few bucks you can get a screw driver set & pry tool to open.
well I bit the bullet..
$100 through insurance..
this phone appears to be new.... as in I do not see one scratch or blemish on the body or screen. Also there were yellow clear tape on the side buttons and bottom ir.
well this thing also seems really fast compared to my last one... even with the default rom.
I really liked the rom in my sig but im gonna hold off as I got SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 and really like it... was using that before....
It has
rom version 3.56.651.0
rom date 06/16/08
radio version 3.42.02 - gonna go to 3.50 after i get all my apps loaded and test the gps
hardware version 0003
prl version 60652
pri version 2.04_003
so far so good
without SPB running (in ROM stock form) = 24.6mb free
with SPB Running = 18.9mb free

They just recently sent me one too. What you should have done is call retentions and argue with them. Worked for me . They constantly screw my bill up and when I finally needed something they came through. They credited my account $100 then assurion charged me $100 for the claim in my bill so it washed out. Only problem is they sent me a defective one so after more yelling they decided to give me a new one. Also, just an fyi, but the refurbs they send out have new faceplates and casings so they look new but the "guts" are refurbs. I'm told there are usually no hardware probs (except the one I had) and the software is something a good custom rom can't fix.
Dunno if you've had any luck yet or not,. I have a parts unit at home, It used to be my wifes phone until the day she wanted me to replace the casing on it since it was scratched. Long story short, I have a working screen boards but the cable that goes between the slide outs is damaged and I never found a replacement for it.
Let me know if your interested it any of the parts. The keyboard is brand new, casing is new. Screen is used but has no scratches. Im not really trying to make any money but it would be nice to get some money back I invested in this thing.
PS DO NOT EVER RIP THE STUPID CABLE BEHIND THE SCREEN GOING TO THE KEYBOARD. IT IS VERY DELICATE and I gave up on finding a replacement.
I kept the parts incase damaged MY unit but I anticipate not needing them. My contract expires in Jan and I will be dumping my mogul for an android phone.
Anyways PM me if you want to talk about offers on what parts you may need.
Good luck
