Spoke to Mackaby007 about selling it for devs but he's sorted a cheap one for now. I'd keep hold of it for that purpose but I could do with the money at the moment.
There are differing opinions on what a good price is at the moment but I'm sure I'd be cheaper than most for a virginal Ameo. Just looking for one or two offers to deliberate.
Cheers

ok thats cool is this ur ameo ?

It is indeed, an upgrade from one of my contracts.
Believe I should be able to get it subsidy unlocked, though how worthwhile this would be depends on how long it takes for a free solution to come about.
Was looking for around 450. Good price I think for an untouched device from a T-Mobile shop, but I'm up for negotiation.

come on people lets see some offers
remember its never even been turned on, still factory packaged.
can supply photos on request. My email is [email protected]. Paypal and specil delivery shipping available.
Lets have some offers.....

Part Ex considered
Forgot to mention in my last post - I will accept an N95 in part exchange, providing it is either unlocked or on t-mobile and not faulty!
I am based in the Midlands in the UK. Collection is preferred as it makes things a lot more straightforward though I will obviously arrange postage if this is the preferred option.
In the case of serious offers PM me and I will forward my phone number if the offer is acceptable.
Regards
Leon

[Q] The Worth of the "Texas Beta" Streak on eBay

If any of you here are following the obnoxious quest for the US to receive the Dell Streak, you would know about the Texas Beta Streak.
I am considering purchasing one on eBay and my questions to fellow XDA-Members are:
- What do you think it is worth price wise currently?
- Do you think the American model will be different?
I do not believe the American model will be different in any way; hardware, software, nothing. Also on top of that, I am afraid the launch will consist of getting the Streak for free with a 2-year contract (I just want an unlocked one!). It will either be a disappoint or a celebration.
.

I've been considering much the same as you, even more so because I am in Canada and how I am going to go about getting even when launched might be a challenge. Of the ones I have watched go on ebay I'm pretty sure they been going 600+. Maybe even more on the ones not doing bidding but the offer option. I'd expect the hardware/software is going to be the exact same, if they software is different you'll be able to get the update, so I wouldn't be concerned about that.
The other thing that I've thought of holding me back is that the registration of the device might not be in my name and what issues might that cause for any warranty replacements.
The rumored launch is next week 14/15th, its already the weekend so nothing is shipping till at earliest the 12th, wait it out till then is what I am doing. If the Canada thing is an issue even after launch for myself then if anything ebay availability should be going up and price down so I'm holding out.

Got one...works great on TMO..having a blast with it!

Say what you want. I paid about $100 more than the supposed list. Beta or not....I have one now and am really liking it. Had it for about 2 weeks now. As far as Beta, this is only a beta for the US. This was released the same time the Final EU ones for O2 were released. With that said other than being on the US network, if these have bugs it is the same bugs the EU ones have.

Cell2get.com 620$ gnote in USA

Hi Friends,
Any body tried this website cell2getdotcom. Gnote over there is 620usd plus free shipping and i have found a 25usd coupon as well. When i applied the coupon it was redeemed successfully, but i didnt go on with completing the order. Anybody ever bought anything from them.
I will call them in the morning to find out if they have any retail location. Google customer reviews are good and one customer was referring to a retail location in newyork.

Damn that's a good price. Lowest on Amazon is $699 right now. Tempted to pull trigger on this but still hesitant after returning my first gnote for screen issues. Let us know if you talk to them tomorrow...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

the review is somewhat mixed for the site :x but ppl do get the phone they ordered. some come in perfect, some are locked, some are refurbished etc... so it's a gamble i guess. But since the note is still quiet new now, chance for a refurbished phone is pretty rare i suppose.

Definitely post back, please. I'd do a pickup too. But from their online rep, I'd wouldn't be surprised by bait 'n switch tactics. Most of the "good" comments are obviously manufactured - eg
Nice company to do business with. I don’t do reviews too often but felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences so far these past four purchases. I just want to let everyone know that if you like shopping the old-fashioned way, then this is the way to go, with these folks!

Be careful!

I don't like the website it seems like they have everything.

Be very cautious of NYC based electronics websites. Unless it's a B&H Photo or other recognized business.
PATIENCE is the key. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting awhile.
Prices will go down, Development will be more matured, Many more used devices to chose from. Maybe something new comes out that's better. I have never been an early adopter. I respect those who are and love being the first on the block. I have saved hundreds and had far less headache waiting a while. Just bought the wife's SGS II used for $400 with a lot of accessories chargers and batteries, I bought mine used, Warranty new was not an option in the US anyway, May as well buy from someone who made it work for them.
Probably buy a used Note as well.. in a few months or when I see used prices below $500.

I ordered through cell2get, after reading reviews I was nervous. Online it says nothing about being out of stock but after making the charge and ordering it I received an email thanking me for my order. About 2 hours later i received another email stating they were out of stock. The money is still "pending" and I have not been refunded yet.
Edit: After 5 days my money has been refunded to my account.

"Cell2Get is one of the Nation’s largest cell phone retailers and is generally regarded as offering the best contract-free phone deals on the web"
Orrrrr, they could be a crappy fly by night store in Brooklyn that I've never even heard of (I'm from the area). That quote was from their "about" page. Dishonest on the page, dishonest to the customer's face.

Yep, i was on the verge of placing my order until i read the reviews and changed my mind.
Got it on craigslist factory sealed last week for 670 cash. Probably the cheapest you can find
And don't forget to send the link to the cell2get price to convince the craigslist seller to drop the asking price Works like a charm
Or use that link for anyone who promises price matches.

Your unwanted dvp...

Anyone has a dvp they dont need anymore? I've been looking to buy one since quite some time.. Asking here coz no one seems to be having it in the market place...
Honestly, i have no idea what this device is worth now, but not looking to spend a lot..
Thanks...
P.S- can take it shipped or personal pick up in new york city..

no one willing to part with one??

I am currently situated in the UK, how much are you willing to pay?

Dell has dumped their inventory of AT&T DVP on TechSoup org and they are going for $31 each till there gone. They come with the SIM unlock code.
If you know someone who works for a non-profit in the US you can get one through them. Up to 20 can be ordered by each organization.
Sorry, can't post links yet. Just google TechSoup then type in Dell Venue Pro in the search box on their web page.

Guys not lying. Anyone work for a non-profit organization ?

I have one to sell, but it's a little beat up and has some significant AMOLED dimming. I think I'll take my chances on ebay. Even though you can get a decent 32GB MicroSDHC card for about $15, the a 32GB version of this phone sells for significantly more than a 8GB version.
A little while ago Secondipity's ebay store had 8GB models accepting best offer submissions of $100. That's the best deal I've seen. Even at that price, it took them a couple weeks to sell out. Now prices are higher. They were the T-Mobile version, but as I've read on the forum, it's just the same hardware flashed with different ROMs.
Either way, you may want to hold off buying anything until you hear what Microsoft has to say at the Windows Phone 8 announcement scheduled for June 20th.

I'm trying to see if I can find someone who might get the 31$ ones

Sorry sold my VP to CeX for £114 and bought an S3 the phone was nearing the end of it's life and, if dell were reluctant to fix a small issue with the compass then, I highly doubt they'll send out an upgrade for the discountinued phone. Bye WP7 and I'll only come back when I'm bored of android. Ciao.

I personally bought the DVP from this seller. ACTUALLY, he is like a half mile away from my home! HAHA. If you order from him, I can make sure he sends you a good working DVP. I am actually helping him unlock some other phones he has and removing some demo software on some Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 phones. He has a few DVP that are kinda messed up and 2 or 3 in pretty good condition. check it out. Look at his other auctions.
crap i cant post links. Go to ebay and search this item# 221020643141

i got a nice one, no scratches at all, pretty mint, picked it up in January of this year
$150.

no sub 100$ dvp??

Ended up selling my extra one for about $150. Prices were lower last month when an liquidator was trying to move some stock. Prices may go down again with today's announcement that WP7 handsets will not be updated to WP8.

anybody???

a bump!!!!

To my fellow North Americans

Good evening,
Was looking around and seems like Z5 is what I've been waiting for, and like many of you I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Searched it up on UK and USA sites, prices are extremely expensive for a Z5 (imagine how much the Z5 P is going to cost), anyway I searched it up on USA Amazon and found a decent price. Ive never actually purchased a smartphone online before but have made Tablet purchases and simple manufacturer defects are covered by the seller.
NGP Store USA from US Amazon sent me a ridiculous response. See the attachments, I asked nicely whether it is covered under manufacturer defect if the phone does not perform as advertised. I understand it has no warranty but manufacturer defect is another thing, event written on their policies. I dont know are they implying the phones are not IP 68 certified.
Anyway, be warned my young jedis rather wait till it launches in Canada or find some seller that is actually a seller. Seriously, paying up to $1000 for a phone that is not as advertised is non-sense. really makes me wonder where they get their stock from.

Interesting response I bought mine on EBay from Taiwan. Seller is 23port. I bought Z2 and Z3 from them as well. They are one if the first to get the new devices and ship DHL for free. Went out 10/2 and arrived 10/5.

You can get it for about $650~ on Handtec. Not bad, considering

i have actually purchased from them before but the stupid canadian import fees, taxes, and currency is ridiculous lol it would nearly end up 1000+ sigh

Got my Z5 Graphite Black from Clove. Supposed to be delivered to my house by Tuesday hopefully! I only had good experience with them, would highly recommend them

To be honest, I like their response. The phone ip certification does not qualify it to be kept under the pressure of a running tap. The phone is gently submerged then taken out again, not blasted by a running tap stream of water.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

i dont know what kind of sink you have there sir, but my sink doesnt blast out tap water. I avoided to use the word "submerge" under water to illustrate a point here. After checking out every other sites, including eBay, yes eBay, nearly all sellers provide 1 year warranty. Then again, warranty and manufacturer defect policy are two separate things. What they are doing is very skeptical, makes me really wonder where they get their phones.
Even aside from all that, this points out they have extremely poor customer service or the CSR is just unprofessional. Could have structured the sentence professionally.
Im trying to avoid purchasing from UK, most of the prices there are extremely high. i might actually order from 23port as proposed by augie. Thanks for the info tho guys!

It must be my European sink with strong pipes and forceful blast

The seller proposed by augie is selling at $704 usd with free shipping, one other seller (not the one I've encountered) from amazon is also selling around that price.
Handtec is selling a bit cheaper than clove if you want it from uk

The Taiwan version does have the MH750 but I read somewhere that in France they will be getting the noise cancelling MDR-NC750, much nicer if you can find a French seller.

I really wanted to try the Z line. I was excited to see that VZW had one of them listed as an upcoming device. I was hoping the Z5 would land on VZW instead of the Z4v, but now news has it that VZW ditched the Sony lineup period... This is really sad news.

$1000?? Try searching Amazon
The Z5C is $559 on amazon:
Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $650 on the Z5 and that's being generous given the flaws we've seen thus far. Granted that's software that has yet to receive post launch updates that improve performance.
