Has anyone bought one? Anyone know the specs of the individual models? According to google (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#dev-phone-1) any registered developer can purchase one for dev'ing.
They look similar to the G1 and the Nexus one (looking at the pictures) but then it gives a long list of vendor ID's and Manufacturers which leads me to believe all the specs can't be the same can they? Has anyone bought one?
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
How would I know if my intended HD2 buy is not a fake?
Where do I need to look for and what?
Serial numbers?
etc.
-Im from Holland (the netherlands)
-Asking price is 350
-Its a private seller, no retailer and the guy is unknown (besides first name and phonenumber)
-It comes in the original box with all the accessories and warranties according to seller
-Guy sounds legit, when communicating
-I want his HD2, Im a HTC user since 2002 (1e was a Artemis: P3300, 2nd and current: Touch Pro with custom ROM)
-I have great knowledge about an HD2 from pictures/videos/youtube, specs, etc. but never held one in person
Therefore I ask owners or similair intended buyers who know specific things on their HTC to look for what makes it a legit HTC. Is it serials, is it logo's? Things that are really hard to copy to make a fake one.
Kind Regards.

From where you get it ^^?

Is there a specific model you want?
Where are you buying it from?
Can you touch it before you buy it?
How much are you planning to spend?
Have you seen HD2 videos on YouTube?
Do you know what it looks like?
Do you know the seller?
There are lots of questions you should think about before posting and asking us a very vague question.
Its hardly a vague question is it? Hopefully someone a bit more helpful will be able to offer more advice...
If you go to the HTC web site and look for a list of resellers in your country (you haven't said what country you are in) or go to the web site or store of an international mobile phone company I believe that you would only get a genuine phone. If you buy sight unseen from an auction site or a little known consumer electronics site in a country well known for being able to make fake consumer electronics then you are more likely to be sold a fake. How many people here have seen a fake HD2? I've personally never heard of anyone. Serial numbers can be duplicated, in fact they are sometimes shared in public fora for ROM download purposes so are not all quite as unique as they could be.

Only buy from a trusted reseller- Amazon or one listed by HTC. Here, from a senior member-I'd be hesitant of a noob (no offense to noobs).
get a surname, address and landline phone number, then look them up in directory enquiries. Call them at the landline number you get from directory enquiries.
Not perfect, but can be useful in spotting a dodgy seller.
It's bought! I'm a proud owner of a 3 month old legit Leo (HD2).
The guy was more like a tester like everyone here on XDA than some dodgy tracksuit fellow with a loose phone. (the box with all the paperwork was there, plus he had an extra battery and an 8GB MicroSD card, but he lost the earplug...)
So 350 E is I think not a rip off!
(normal = 492E for a new retailers one and 50E for a 2nd battery + 8GB card)
(3 months old, no wear & tear!, is 542 - 350 = 192 E savings)
I reckon good deal!

Hi everyone,
I've noticed many sites including eBay selling Samsung Omnia i900 phones for really low prices...some at about $100 per phone. I find it very difficult to believe that these phones could be sold that low. Are they genuine Samsung phones or are they cheap Chinese clones? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Omnia on eBay
Could you give a few examples?
You might want to look at the seller's rating, etc.
Yes that would help.
Since I can't post links please see item # 290444362182 on ebay.
There is a link to an auction I noticed. The seller has an incredible amount of feedback. I tried sending emails to previous winners of this auction but have had no luck with responses. I'm worried about getting a cheap Chinese clone. Would you know how to check before hand if the phone is real? Sure the auction images and specs are exactly those of Samsung but we can't know for certain until we have the actual phone. Is there a serial number on the phone (usually underneath the battery) that the seller can give me before I purchase?
Thanks

Thanks for the offer but I will most likely be using an iPhone someone is getting rid of. This way I feel safe about where the product is coming from and I really won't be paying much at all for it.
I'm still curious about the Samsung on eBay. I can't believe they are real genuine phones. I'd love to see a serial number or something to get an idea. If they are real I can probably find a bunch of people interested in buying them from me at a great profit. I just don't want to rip anyone off with sh%tty Chinese clones
Hi,
Am planning to buy a N1 (from ebay india) to sink my teeth into Android (not just the app development part).
Just wanted to know if there are several different models of the Nexus one out there? And if so how to identify each.
Also as I'm getting it off ebay wanted to make sure I was not getting a fake. So does anyone know how to identify if it's a fake when I receive it?
TIA
Theres only one model of the Nexus, the Nexus One.
How to tell if its fake... i dunno. Maybe the ebay description :-/

Check out the FCC number on the back to be sure whether you're getting the 850/1900/2100 version or the 900/AWS/2100 version.

Do this! Make sure you get the right version for you!
(FYI - if you don't care about 850/1900 vs. 900/AWS, you should know that the 850/1900 is no longer available, so ebay prices for it seem to be $100-$200 more than the AWS version [which can still be had as the dev phone from google])

jeez, dude...understand the question!
And also it'd be good to know if it's the AMOLED or SLCD model. You can tell the difference by the way it looks booting up in a dark room. What I don't know is, are there any differences in the model #s written on the back of the phone for the SLCD models?
Thanks for all the info folks.
But is there any info that I can ask the dealer (from the packaging etc.) to determine if it is a genuine piece.
And any way to confirm its the real deal once I get the phone (while booting or something)?
Just trying to be careful as I can't afford to waste too much (still studying ), and I don't want to get some cheap chinese fake.
TIA

If it's a knock off, it's not going to be genuine Android, so it'll be obvious.
Like these: http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=fa...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1680&bih=855

Hello, forgive me if this is a common question but searching doesn't yield much info.
I'm considering a Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 Tablet new or second hand but really want the USA spec as I believe the UK model has less features such as IR Blaster.
Can anyone advise best procedure to get one delivered to the UK from USA. I mean is eBay a good option or do some suppliers specialise in this type of thing. I just worry a little with regards to safe delivery and reliability.
Thanks
Found a UK supplier of refurbished by Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 models with the IR Blaster.
I mailed them to confirm and they replied that these were the US models with IR, at a good price but I worry how good a quality these would be.
Has anyone bought refurbished that can advise ?

Sorry, Posted in right place now
I've posting in wrong place, so sorry.
Now posted on Tab 2 forum, sorry again
Can't speak to the refurbisher you're looking at but I can say having bought refurbished before that USUALLY is means pretty immaculate second hand. Most often these are new devices that had an issue that was fixed, for example dead pixels, which means that part of the unit is corrected and the unit is sold again as B-Grade.
Also purchasing through Ebay is pretty safe, check the terms of the seller but you'll find that Ebay's policies are pretty purchaser oriented.
Thanks for the advice, appreciated.

I have been looking into purchasing the A9 Pro for a while now, and keep seeing advertisements that one place it's sold is at OneDigitals as well as Ipmart. I've heard less than stellar reviews about OneDigitals but the reviews look to be very old. What I've seen so far is people pay good money for their devices but either never receive them, or they are received damaged and aren't able to get them exchanged/replaced, but some of these reviews are from 2014 and older. Has anyone ever dealt with this company before? Where would be the best place to purchase this phone. I'm in the USA so I would really need the A910F/DS. I've also looked at Ipmart, and they appear credible and have the model I'm looking for but I don't know anything about them other than they are a Malaysian company.
One last thing, I've seen many threads about adding 3g and 4g frequency bands to specific phones using QPST and NV Manager, I know the A9 Pro is very underdeveloped here on XDA, but would this be possible? Thank you in advance!
