So I was helping a customer today (I'm a Tmo Employee) with their rate plans and then started talking to him about some phones. Well he pulls out a Nexus One out of one of the stock N1 pouches and told me he FOUND this (who the hell finds free stuff like this?!) and wanted to check if it was a Tmo or ATT version because his internet wasn't working. I verified it was a Tmo version and it wasn't working for him because he had the Blackberry internet on his plan. When I asked if he wanted to change it he was like oh no I like my Blackberry. Then here is how the next part went.
Guy: Do you know anybody that would want to buy this?
Me: As a matter of fact, I'll be glad to take it.
Guy: How about $200?
Me: How about I go to the ATM next door RIGHT NOW!
So now I'm the owner of another N1 so this one goes to my GF. Buuuuuut the best part is, it isn't just the normal one. This one has the picture of the Android waving a flag on the back with no HTC branding. Hmmmmmmm...
Just had to share this. Was too excited about it not to! lol
Just bought your self a brand new stolen ('found' is an alternative word for stolen) N1 Concrats! It's the best device with Android!
so let me translate for you.
This guy steals an N1 and brings it in to your store and asks if you'll pay him $200 for it and you say yes.
Got it...
You sound like a goddamned thief to me.
Disgusting.
could easily track down the original owner in minutes...
but my question is, why is there an android flag and no htc branding? Is it a special phone?

I'm thinking it could be a Beta phone or something? Looks like one of the ones that Google employees were given and were not supposed to "sell" BUT I have heard of some that have been "lost" from employees and were bought from people. But the phone had no SIM card and looked wiped when I got it. Was at the stock 2.1 home screen.
The guy didn't "look" like he stole it. Nice guy, wife, 2 young kids. I'm pretty sure the guy found it somewhere.
Grats on buying stolen goods. Not the smartest thing to brag about, either.
Or possibly you've just met a Google worker that was quietly getting rid of his phone
i would have bought it too shiiiiit lol
The guy said the other guy found it. How the hell are you guys jumping to the conclusion that it's stolen?
The word "found" is similar to the word "stolen"?
So when my car stereo was missing out of my car one day, someone just found it and it actually wasn't stolen? Maybe this, I found 20 bucks on the street once but I must've stolen it right?
BTW, congrats on getting a awesome deal. Ignore the haters and you and your girlfriend enjoy the phone.
Damn you are really LUCKY android user. 200$ it's nothing for that phone
'The word "found" is similar to the word "stolen"?'
Maybe i said it wrong but i meant in this sentence it's an other word for found... And i'm not a hater just know how people are, they don't come in and say "i just stole the phone want to buy for 200 bucks?" That would be stupid! it's pretty clear it's stolen but i wouldn't care about it I'm Happy for the new owner and wished one day someone comes to me for a cheap good as new phone for 1/3 of the origional price (i got my hero for 150 bucks @ releaseday, found by someone i know )
Grats on capitalising on someone elses misfortune.
I'd gladly buy your phone if it was found/stolen rather than try and track you down. (/not. it's very easy to track down the owner of a lost phone for which i have done multiple times).
Did you keep the guys contacts & messages on their or just go and delete them? so as not to spark your conscience. How about when you were deleting the owners google login details to put your own in its place? did that make you feel all light and giddy too?
You work for T-Mobile, someone brings in a T-Mobile version of the N1 and you buy it rather than trying to find the owner on your internal system?
Morally bankrupt

If I worked in your store and someone brought in a "found" phone, then (a) it wouldn't have left the store again, and (b) I would NEVER, EVER, have offered to buy it. Totally reprehensible.
If you find something it doesn't automatically become yours. You're no better than a common thief. In fact, you're worse, because you knowingly paid money for it.
I'd expect the manager to back me up on (a) and help track the original owner down. I can assure you that if you worked for me and I found out about this, you'd be out of the door so quick you'd wonder what happened.

There was no SIM card in the phone. No contacts. Nothing at all. To me it looked like it was wiped which I'm sure the dude didn't do cause he had no clue how to use this phone or his phone which I might add.

No way to track down people from IMEI's :-/
I'll give OP the benefit of the doubt based on his story of how the events went down.
People lose phones all the time... that's why applications like WaveSecure exist. Without having any such application on the phone, it gets to be rather difficult to find the owner - especially if all data has been wiped from the device. Without a SIM card, there's not really anything to tie the device to its previous owner.
It is kinda sketch, but I don't think the OP is in the wrong here.
I give it a week before its IMEI blocked
Background:
I was waiting for the Evo, ever since it was announced. I got it on my lunch break during work (Which turned out to be 2 hours because of the sprint servers). I loved it.
Situation:
I was playing basketball when someone must have taken it out of my bag (I think it was right on top and possibly visible). I realized it probably 15-20 minutes after it was gone. I confronted the group of people and told them that I just wanted my phone back. Didn't care if they stole it, I wouldn't report it, just wanted it back. They all denied it.
I went home, more pissed than I've been in a while. I called sprint and told them my story. They said unless I had insurance (Which I'm getting in the future BTW), I was SOL. I told them to cancel my service, and I'll go back to t-mobile.
A day went by, and I started checking Craigslist to see if anything popped up. Well something did pop up. I called the people, and asked if they had the box and everything. They said they just got the actual phone for a gift. I contemplated arranging a meet up with my friend and them, and have some bats and golf clubs with me, but I decided I didn't wanna get arrested, or sued, or leave myself legally liable in any way. So I went to the police station.
I met this very friendly and nice cop outside and told him my story. He must have liked me, because he took me in, reported my item as stolen, and then I explained about the craigslist ad.
He took a look and agreed it was fishy. I told him if I could just get my hands on the phone and check the serial numbers, I could see if it was my phone or not. So, he grabbed his friend and they both took on the case (A sting operation for a phone!).
Well 12 hours went by and I was sweating because I didn't know when it was going down, or if the guys had sold the phone to someone else. Well my friends all called the phone number listed and asked if it was still available. They said that someone was looking at the phone right now. That was it, if it wasn't the cops, then I'd never get my phone back.
Well sure enough an hour later, I get a call from the cop, and he said they got my phone back. Told me never to go back to that court again. I'll have to testify, but I get my phone back in a few days.
I am probably one of the luckiest Evo Owners ever! Now just gotta get my phone reactivated... Hope there won't be too much of a problem there.
=)
Good story bro.
Show up to court and testify. Don't let the POS get away with it. If he gets away with it, it will teach him that stealing doesn't carry consequences.
I wouldn't post this online. Just sayin.
ok am not a good reader hehe so hmm who sstole your phone? scare the crap out of them for stealing!
Damn, talk about luck. The phone gods are looking down upon you dude. Nice. Testify and teach them to never steal again. Unfortunately once a thief, always a thief as the saying goes. I would take the cops advice and never go back to that BB court again. Congrats though.
nice! good police do exist
In the future you should install WaveSecure It'll let you track your phone and remotely wipe it among other things.
Awesome story!
Sad thing is you wont be able to play ball on that court again. =(

Cool that you got the phone back man.
To all those who say "Too bad you can't go back to that court again", why would the OP want to anyway? Obviously the type of crowd there is trouble. I wouldn't go play there again if my stuff was robbed and I never recovered it. I wouldn't be able to play having to check my stuff every two minutes knowing what happened the last time. Just sayin'.
P.S. -This is coming from a guy with a main source of exercise from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft.
Awesome, exactly the same happened to me with my hero, december last year. Except it happened during my gym class at school, my father found it on a local auction site, and then left with a friend to confront the guys.The IMEI matched, ofcourse, and i got my phone back. Sad thing is that the douche who stole it, was a guy in my class, and even worse is the fact that he and his companion got of with a warning. Had to see him every single day for half a year.
I bring only the bare minimum when I go to the courts. Keys, ID and a bottle of water. A lack of cash ensures that I don't spend it splurging on impulse food after playing and that I head straight home. Lawl.

I've used both, mobile defense's web interface seems to be slightly nicer, but not much difference, they have almost identical feature sets. The only real difference is that mobile defense SMS for turning on tracking originate from the US. And Wave Secure SMS originates from Asia (can't remember the country) the reason this makes a difference is that wave secure costs you 20 cents every time you use it to do anything. I would stick with mobile defense. If you have wave secure all setup it's probably not worth switching either unless you track your phone or alarm/lock it often.
I am not sure if Android offers a tracking app. I use one on my TP2 and I don't care what they do with the phone because it will provide me with the exact location to share with the cops if necessary.
One SMS with my code and my phone lets me know it's location.

Did you read the thread? The posts right above yours mentions mobile defense which does exactly that.
Awesome that the OP got his phone back
I've use Mobile Defense since the day I got my myTouch with only one problem. They send a text from an e-mail that has mobiledefense in the name! Like, come on, don't be THAT obvious! You should get it from a real number saying like "hey baby" or something. A phone tracking app is invaluable to anyone who owns a phone like this, though.
As for OP, you are bigger man than I. Of course, I have a family riddled with crime (blood and in-laws) so the whole "beat the hell out of you" thing is pretty much drilled in at this point.
Thanks for sharing your story. Glad you got your phone back.
I actually flew to LA just after I got the phone (canceled online pre-order and stood in line so I can have it for the weekend). Went to play basketball with my brothers, and was worried about my phone being stolen, maybe I can blame losing that game on that...
I usually leave my stuff behind the basket pole, no chance of someone getting near my things without me seeing them, and the pole protects it from someone stepping on it.
I had my very first cell phone stollen. I was a senior in highschool and got a pretty decent job and wanted a phone. I got that nokia that everybody had 8 years ago (the one with the flashlight on top). I went to the pool for swim practice and came back and my phone was gone! I called it from my buddy's phone and the DB answered and said, sorry dude! Next time bring a lock! And hung up... I called ATT and reported it. They said because it was a cheap POS phone, there really wan't much they could do, but the guy gave me a discount on the same phone (I think I paid like $40 or something) so it was all good in the end.
I guess some people just need phones more than others! Teach this guy a lesson. Don't back down and maybe he'll think twice before he tries and steals someone else's $500 investment
Glad you were successful!
p.s. The first time I read the story, I thought the "court" the cops told you to stay away from was a "Court of Law" and not a basketball court. I was like, dang, cops don't want you to come back to the court (of law)? That's messed up!
Ok, I've been reading all the threads about the 'leaked' beta that's being argued over etc. so I took it upon myself to chat w/ a Sprint rep about 2.2 and how to get my hands on this mystical beast..
When directly asked how to help beta test, the rep suggested that I contact technical support and they would "definitely" help me with that request.
FWIW..
No way any end-user is going to get a copy of that, sorry... Imagine the piles of NDAs you'd have to sign. They'd basically have to hire you into hardware dev. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it won't happen. That phone number is just to get you off their back.

not sure how to answer this one (rolls eyes)
After talking to Tier 2 tech support on the phone, I emailed him my screenshot and he seemed really puzzled that an online chat rep would tell me this.
HE said he is not aware of anything going on for beta testing.. Further, he checked his 'inside' mail/communications about upcoming things etc. and didn't see anywhere that would imply that the 2.2 update would be here within the next few weeks but he said that's where things stand today and it was subject to change.
He did say that normally, they get the inside scoop before things drop so that they are prepared before the official drop/release of new stuff and he saw nothing yet to imply that froyo was coming.
Further, he also mentioned that Sprint does not normally do Beta testing that he is aware of and that sometimes people get ahold of things (leaks) before they're official (which we already knew)..
So there's the answer. Sprint doesn't normally do beta testing
keep calling and bugging them and see if someone else gets it LMFAO
or just wait....
Two things:
1. The online rep you talked to doesn't speak English and is not privy to any sort of inside information. They don't know ****.
2. The "Tier 2" rep you talked to doesn't know ****.
No way, no how will you ever be able to "beta test" for Sprint. They do their own testing, but they keep it under wraps pretty tight. Anybody you talk to on the phone is just a Sprint drone.
Either way, you don't know if you don't ask right?
I asked whilst many whined about entitlement. (not implying that'd the case in this thread, but still..)

Other than that, I do have to agree, sprint employees are quite dumb. After being with sprint for 6 or so years, I would know. Especially in the first few years before they actually got their **** kinda together.
Also, I believe that 2.2 froyo will be coming out around the end of november. I'm going to stick to that. If not, then sprint is gonna have a ****load of people wanting their money back.

There is absolutely no doubt that the Epic will receive Froyo.
It will get it, I spoke with a rep at one of our conferences and he did state it was coming, but he just had no idea when. I know doesn't help to move things along. But be patient. Hell I had to wait until a week ago before employees were able to get our epics, so good things do come to those who wait.

Just wait until he gets next months bill and for some reason they switched him to a family plan with international roaming because he called in and asked about Froyo.
Rule #1 - NEVER call sprint unless you absolutely HAVE to.
Rule #2 - If you do HAVE to call, make sure to check your account online IMMEDIATELY after getting off the phone with them no matter what you were calling in about.
As long as froyo is a definite, its all good. Just gotta be patient even though its hard to wait for something that will make your phone truly "epic".
And damn, that would suck. Never have I experienced that with sprint but in the future ill look out for that. Idkillabitch if that happened to me.

LOL, no, they don't. They work in call centers, though some of the reps like to compare it to prison.
As for the beta testing, there is a VERY long, drawn out process to be a beta tester, and it's not what you know, it's who you know. I had some fairly high up individuals asking to get me beta team access, and I was shot down damn near instantly. However, a former coworker's brother got him into the beta team, and he was receiving phones almost 6 months before they were released. It was pretty awesome playing with the new stuff before any info was ever leaked to the net, but these folks are NOT techies like us, they just play with the phones and report any obvious bugs.

Well he was very nice i must admit and even though i didnt get an answer i liked 2 much it was better than the usual "oh we dont know anything about it". He said that the Update WAS ready for the 11th of November but that tyhere were a couple of bugs and they are trying to work on it to relase as soons as possible. He said that he talked to a couple fo co-wrokers and his supervisor and he gathered that he truly sincerely didnt know(which i actually beleived for the first time) BUT that the LASTEST and FINAL DATE that FROYO for the epic will be out by is DECEMBER 5th, which i know is not the best date AT aLL but its certainly best than the END OF THE YEAR. so yeah wanted 2 share that, if anyone else scoops something up let US all know
That's cool, even if true
the froyo leak has always been running as stable as
the 2.1 for me. So I am fine with it.
Can we just have a forum for Froyo gossip? Froyo is becoming the Brett Farve of the Epic 4G.

Total meaningless BS.
Literally no one in the first two tiers of tech support is going to have the slightest idea. It will be released when ready. Target are movable, they are not going to blow a few million bucks in needless support issues if it isn't ready on Dec 5, so the support person you spoke to was just completely making it it up. There was also clearly never a target of the 11th.
On of our more respected Sprint people here has said the target has been NOv 29th for a while and that is the only credible thing that has surfaced, and is incidentally, exactly in line with the only thing Sprint and Samsung have ever said publicly, which is their placing the release for Epic at between the end of November and the end of December.

For the upgrade to fully use flash makes your point false. Froyo is a big step from 2.1.
And also I spoke to a rep as well. And he was giving me info he read off of Android Central so he's basically in the dark as much as we are. Phones being released is one thing because Stores get the info ahead of time for stock purposes. Froyo is something different.
And [email protected] the Bret Favre comment. I almost lost my drink!
I think these "I talked to a sprint rep who knows when it's coming out" Is the equivalent to "I played for my high school basketball team so I know what it's like to be in the NBA. You really have no insight on what's really happening
I've heard the 29th.. oh and I work for sprint but hope its true.

I'm pretty sure the few million bucks of support doesn't bother them one bit. As we've seen with the GPS issues, they'll just ignore it. No cost at all to them.
Some Sprint reps know way more than others about current and upcoming products. However, keep in mind that it's not their job to keep you up to date on release dates for Froyo, and at least some of them just don't feel like talking to you about it even if they know. You can call again and again and ask 20 of them, and maybe you'll get someone that actually does know and is willing to share info with you, or you might get a bunch of people who just show up and do their jobs, don't give a crap about the products they support, and have no idea what you're talking about. Either way, I wouldn't discount something a Sprint rep says, because they're at least as likely to know as anyone else.
Flash is slow as **** anyways? Lol. And cant you just get the apk from somewhere and install? I did it on my hero, but my processor is sllllooowwwwww lol.
I've been looking for a Canadian release date of the Xoom and have been unable to find anything, just that the Atrix is coming out on the 17th. I have family member who works at Bell, so I figured I'd ask them if they knew anything about it. She informed me that it's actually coming out this week, along with the Atrix. Now, I can't count on the exact validity of this, but she seemed rather sure of herself.
Fingers are crossed!
Has anyone else heard anything?

That would be unreal. Unlikely since I haven't seen ANY sort of advertisements for the Xoom.
I have to agree with robbiev80.
At any rate, thanks for sharing this, that would be awesome!
Quick questions what type of position at Bell?
