I Gave Away My Dream

Spent the afternoon with my Grandkids yesterday and showed my new phone to my son - he was loving it and before I left, I took out my sim card and gave him the phone. I have a great kid - he's an adult now with kids of his own, a big mortgage, a stressful job and a high maintenence wife [I adore her, and she is worth every penny he spends on her.] .. It's rare that I see him giving himself expensive gifts. He does everything for his family and it reminds me a lot of my father .. besides, I love giving presents to him. When he was growing up I was a single parent and sometimes I couldn't give him what he wanted - Now I can.

That is on ehell of a admirable act!

It was a "feel good" moment for the both of us!

possibly for him more than you

I am expecting an Xperia on Friday - I never really got to play with the Dream so if the Xperia doesn't thrill me, I have another phone that is allowed an upgrade so I might buy another.

That's not why I posted .. I just posted because I no longer have the phone. I can brag about my great kid in a group-hug-group if that was my intention.

Santa, guess you didnt care much for Android

Is there somebdoy who would kindly give me G1 ?
I need only one

that was heart warming.. thank you for sharing

SOLD

SOLD!.......

Selling for sure now..

good luck man. I'm trying to stick with it. Would really wish Android would come so I have something new to play with.

I know you asked how much we would pay for it, but what do you think is fair? I ask because I'm interested.

I'm interested also .

PM'd you guys.

here are some pictures

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.

doesn't ebay take part of your money?

bump...
..........

price? I already pm you.

Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."

ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.

I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?

not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

pm me your minimum price w/shipping. I'm in NV...

Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested

hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.

Hero features before buying

Hi, I've decided that I really want an Android phone and if I have a choice between the Tattoo and Hero, I've gotta get the Hero for about 40 bucks more after unlocking, but I have a few questions before buying. First and foremost, is the GPS in the Hero spot-on? I read that the Tattoo had a hard time finding your location, and when it did it was about a mile off anyway, so it was pointless for driving. Second, does anyone know when the Enclair update to Hero may be? I was just wondering about that, if anyone on the inside may have leaked it here.

First: the GPS has been working great for me so far.
Second: We don't know for sure but from some sources, it's coming soon. Soon could be anything, really, but the fact that an early build exists means HTC is definitely working on it.
Also, I'll say go for the Hero since you get a better screen. The Tattoo has a 320x240 resistive screen, which means scratches, and the Hero has a 480x320 screen which is not only higher resolution, but is also capacitive, with a glass surface that's extremely scratch resistant.

Thanks for the reply, the only think I like about the Tattoo over the Hero is the faceplates, I made some *****en plates on their site. Yeah, *****en.

Yeah, but Hero has the *****en design. ;D
You should see how girls suddenly started talking to me since I got mine. ;D
"oh wow what's that phone? *squeal*"

the hero takes the piss owta the tatoo, in terms of design and use also the gps on the hero is awsome, i use copilot live and it only takes seconds to get a gps fix even indoors, on my HD using tomtom it takes about 2-3 minutes even when im outside lol

lol. FML, I ended up having to pay bills with my extra money, anyone know where I can get a cheap Hero? I know, contradiction, but even a locked one? Some people just end up selling their locked phones because they don't like them, I can unlock them myself. I can get a cheap ass one from here but the fact that the website was started several weeks ago by a free host, no fn way. The only ones I can find on eBay that go for less than 500 bucks that are even new are Sprint...and I really want the Chin, must be the Bruce Campbell fan in me. Oh, and can the Hero do this...

What happened to your call and end keys?

He didnt want his phone to be recognized so he blurred them out, lol.

His call and end buttons look like mine. The paint was probably comming off the buttons so he probably scraped it the rest of the way off.

This. Some of the early Hero's seem to have a problem with the phone keys. Mine and my brothers paint came off (day 1 Hero users) and my wife's (few months down the line) appears to be fine. A few other people I know that bought them a few month's later haven't had any issues either.

30 Motorola Backflips. bid's at $490 now. ends tomorrow (4/23) at 3:33 EST.
since it comes out to roughly $16 each, you could either sell them for like $30-50 to teenagers (that'd be my choice) or whatever you want with them.
It has CM7 support, so it's not COMPLETELY useless...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-30-Motorola-BACKFLIP-FLIP-AT-T-cell-phone-/130681791204?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1e6d3de2e4#ht_1290wt_1037

ill yours off for 20

thanks but no thanks.
holding out til August when i switch to an individual phone plan and get whatever great at&t phone's out (SGS3 most likely)

Keep in mind the seller warns you that some phones may not work and are untested. So it could be a hit or miss..

Why would you buy such an old phone, let alone 30 of them? This was a terrible, terrible phone.

Really what hes selling them for is what theyre worth. Motorola had tons of phones that where complete failures. This was one.

I had this phone 3 times. Not bad used it as a backup backup backup phone. Cm7 was reliable but i just liked it for the form factor. Pretty much was a FFC phone before its time.

Sucks for who ever ended up buying/bidding $1080.. $36 bucks on phones that might not even work.

Jesus Christ they sell for so little each. Look at these bids: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Ba...ps=63&clkid=7935913998055563961#ht_500wt_1156

They still sell these in Australia for $400 minimum. God I need to eBay more!

^don't. just don't... even an Optimus One is better

They obviously have value somewhere. Doubt someone would have paid that much for the hell of it.

I thought I was going to pay $490 to see someone perform 30 back flips consecutively.

You can easily sale a BACKFLIP for $100 they will make their money back plus more.

Even if only 5 worked you'd make your money back and pocket 10. You could drop test them shoot them flush them down the toilet for gods sake. Haha
