little history.. My buddy has had this for a few months at his house. One of his cousins purchased it and he had to leave to vietnam before he got the device in the mail. So basically he inherited a new toy. he took it out of the box and had tried to set it up but was stuck on the touch screen alignment screen for about half and hour. He tried a few weeks later and was still stuck and decieded to put it away. Few months later I picked up my htc sprint touch phone, showed it off to him and he brings me the x7501 and tells me its junk. I could try to unlock it or he would split the money to sell it if it was junk. I plugged it in let it fully charge and to my surprise I was past the alignment screen and it was running normal.
Now my problem is I would like to keep it but my touch does everything that I need. The screen is nice but too big for me too carry and enjoy. I would love it just as a unit to keep in my car for gps but I dont know if I can unlock it and use it on a sprint network? Anyone know this or not?
Only used for a few hour works great, pratically brand new box is a little beat up from him storing it in his closet. Has a 4gb minicard that I will include. hit me up at soal79(at)hotmail.com if interested or have questions. From what I see brand new they go for 900 so i think this is a fair price. I wish i could keep it but money is tight and my wife already thinks in spend too much time playing with my touch. thanks.
can not use on the sprint network, the x7501 is GSM phone, sprint is CDMA.
Post pics please.
Got one three weeks ago, new, for 700
Sold it yet?
Maybe try ebay? They seem to be going for around 690 reliably. You might be better off selling the sdhc in a seperate sale. ??? Or maybe bill it in the title of the listing.
I agree with the last post, if there's visible damage, you'll want to post actual pics or you'll get pestered for them.
Even if you don't use it as a phone, it is more of a WM6 UMPC/PDA. The GPS is great with software that doesn't need an "always on" connection, like iGuidance. Surfing is great. I haven't used my (admittedly rather old) laptop since I got mine.
I am curious if you sold it. I am trying to get friends interested in the model.
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.

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
does anyone know if you can purchase a new battey door. i have searched everywhere and can't find it anywhere.
there's a thread on this here
I need one too.the battery door is junk. Mine doesn't fit anymore.

I read on a post here yesterday or the day before that a battery cover is one of the parts that t-mobile themselves can sell you through customer service. Not sure if it is correct or not but maybe give it a try and confirm if it is the case. I could use a spare.
I wanta white one for my black phone that would be awesome
sent from my badass slide running eugene's port of cm6
Have you guys thought about calling htc the manufacture of the phone?

Try here myTouch Accessories.
Damn, 20 bucks seems like a lot, but this white door would look cool on a black phone: http://www.all4cellular.com/mytouch-3g-slide-door-white.html
I'll wait for cheap ones to hit ebay.
I was having issues with my battery door. I got a replacement phone from tmobile for a different reason. I had to use my old battery door on the new phone and it fits like it did when new. So it was the phone and not the door itself.

I read the same thing. However, when I called I had two reps tell me that they didn't sell them. They then referred me to HTC for the part, HTC told me they didn't have any due to the phone being so "new." I'm just planning on treating it nice, and waiting until they hit the net. They're not even on eBay yet.
I ordered my Slide online the day it was released. It WORKS fine. The issue I have with it is so minor, many people may not normally notice it. Basically, when I slide the keyboard out, the left side of the screen stops a fraction of an inch before the right. I'm talking like maybe 1/6th of an inch or something, very minor.
I do have a small scuff on the top corner of the phone where I dropped it, though the drop was not the cause of the issue.
Is this anything you would try to exchange your phone for? Am I being too picky? Would they simply tell me no?

I have been with T-Mobile for over 5 years and any time I have had a problem no matter how small they have replaced my phone with no question. I have the mt3gs and have had it for 2 months and I am having a issue with it and they suggested right off to just send me a replacement so this week it should be here. They don't really care about scuff marks though I never have dropped mine so not sure. They refurbish them anyway so don't sweat it...
Well think of it like this, I had an hd2, had some data troubles (region specific). Went Through 3 hd2's before they were allowed to exchange. Offered me a blackberry said no I wanted the slide. They sent me a new in box slide and I got to keep the hd2, all free.
Id say that's rather generous

That's very generous, did you have to threaten to leave or anything? Also how long have you been with tmo?

I guess it certainly won't hurt to give them a call then! Thanks!

No, it's just their basic policy (sort of). Let me explain. I was past the 14 day period... but had issues with the phone... being that i was within the 1 year warranty they did an HD2 exchange (sent out refurb). I still had the same data issue, so i called back and asked if i could get different phone because it doesnt appear to be a defective handset, just perhaps bad in this area. They said "yes, but you need to have at least 3 phone replacements in a 90day period before they have that option" so a few phones later i called back asking for a phone swap... (They conclude "similar phone" based on price)
They offered me a BB 9800(?) because it has similar MSRP and business features. I said would prefer an android device (was hoping for the vibrant but its msrp is 499) so they offered me a MTS ($430).
The slide wasnt in the (available options) on their page so they had to set it up manually.. which meant it was technically a new phone purchase at full value... so they just charged the full value on the account... and credited it back on the same invoice...
Which is why i got to keep the HD2
Also ive been with tmo for quite some time around 9 years or so... maybe a little less
LOL. Chatting with a rep online right now about it. I explained that one side of the keyboard popped out further than the other and she told me we'd have to do a master reset. I told her I didn't think that would work.
Yeah, they're replacing it. Yippee!
yeah their a good company when it comes to replacing phones. I went throw 3 G1's. Ones battery life was horrible for some reason. Replaced. Second was the replacement that got stolen in the mail.......that was a ***** just make sure you CHECK THE PACKAGE when before you sign for it, my sister thought it was ok to take an empty box from the person thinking it was to send mine back but really the driver jacked the phone. Third. I bricked my G1 pretending to be a developer and messing with things i shouldnt have been.
GL with your replacement bro
Hi I have a quick question I do a lot of deals on craigslist when it comes to phones. I get bored of something then put it on craigslist for trade. I currently have the mytouch slide and my issue is the camera. I've googled it quite a few people have this problem. The camera is just blurry I tried auto focus the whole 9. The thing is I got it from a personal sale/trade. Would tmobile still be able to replace it? I want to call CC but want to see you guys opinions first. Thanks in advance.

Yup, that was why I had to send my first slide in.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Per company policy you can do 1 instore warrenty exchange for a brand new slide instead of the possible refurbished replacement you could get from customer care. Make sure its a corporate store and if they tell you no they can't. Tell them to look it up on streamline they will know what you mean.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I just received an replacement slide. Mine had the fuzzy camera issue.
The replacement came does not come with battery nor back cover, nor any other accessories at all. I should have exchanged it at the corp store instead.
At least the camera works better and has a new revision "XD" My old one is revision "XC"
You have to have 3 replacement phones before they can offer you the vibrant. And you will have to pay the difference in price.

So im thinking about returning mine because of the blurry camera issue but the moisture indicator under the battery is partly red. Basically it looks as if the corner of the battery kept rubbing on it from all the times I had to remove it while trying to root. Do any of you think it will be an issue? I thought that I read something before about there being multiple indicators in the phone, the one on the battery is still all the way white.
They definitely asked about the moisture indicator and told me that if it is red, I will be charged $100 out of warranty fee for the replacement.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Its only partly red so I'm hoping they will just ignore it. The phones never been near water I really think its just red where the corner of battery drags accross it
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
thats a lie i try to exchange to a different phone and they tell me that they will give me the same disney phone they exchange it 3 times already thats nuts
They will charge you. And its not from ur battery rubbing it.
Did u take it in the bathroom when you got a shower or hot bath? Biggest place for moisture to get in phone and not know it. Still $100 isn't bad to replace a water dmged phone

I'm on my 3rd slide an the one I had before this one got a little wet. some how on the back an the. moisture indicator on it turned red. so when I recieved the replacement

Note: Your phone will not be activated when it arrives. Please follow the instructions included in the box to activate it.
Web specials do not apply when upgrading to a pre-owned device. You’ll instead benefit from maintaining your current upgrade eligibility status.
I was just coming to post this.
I may buy one or two just to root and mess around with.
Worth a shot anyways.
It seems a deal! Better than the one I brought from craigslist, paid $100 without sdcard and headset.
BTW, I don't have to activate it, right?
I'm thinking about getting one. I dropped my Hero last week and scratched it up pretty badly (I was going to swap housing, but I don't want to bother with that). I'd use the refurb as my daily, with my other Hero as a testing device

I just ordered one. I had the option to have it pre-activated but I chose not to do that. I'm trying to get my husband on the Android bandwagon and this was a cheap way to do it. (He's currently in our family plan with a BB but wants to jump ship to ATT and Iphone. ugh, I know right?) If he hates it, I have a backup Hero and I did not have to extend my contract.
ordering mine tomorrow, went from a htc vogue with android hacked on to it, to a blackberry curve and now to an htc hero till my upgrade kicks in, never again shall i upgrade to a blackberry....piece of crap
looks like they must have sold out of the refurb heroes... :/
sadly wasn't able to order my phone that night due to mail holiday keeping me from getting my debit card on time but called sprint and was told they would have them back in stock on thursday
Where do you click to see a refurbished model?

i emailed their customer support and im waiting for respond, ill keep you guys updated
I looked yesterday and today and could not find any Refurb'ed Heros, there were some others. Wish I had seen this earlier, would have been nice to get one for my daughter.
yeah i checked into it again, won't have any for a while :/ i suggest you look into ebay if you want to try, alot of reliable sellers.
Keep looking... it's definitely worth doing.
Mine came in a Sprint OEM "Certified Pre-owned" box, packaged as if it were new. The only thing missing was an SD card (heck, it would be just 2Gb which is worthless anyhow) and a printed full manual. The phone looks brand new, except for one minor flaw--a tiny dent on the speaker grille. Otherwise, you wouldn't know this was refurbished.
The battery is in a small plastic bag with a sticker closure. It was not charged, so the phone required the full charging time to get going.
i found some from ebay that were bought up from sprint by bestbuy.
I just looked on eBay for a private party selling a Hero. I hate buying from the jerks too lazy to post real pictures of the product. I'm not buying a new phone, so why would I ever buy anything without being able see exactly what I'm really getting?
Anyhoots I won an auction for one the guy says is 4 months old for $133. Just watched for auction ending in a few minutes that fit what I wanted, placed my bid, 10 minutes later I had won.
Not refurbished, and more than $79, but I'm sure my daughter will love it.
Nice job, sadly my paypal account is locked because i forgot about it and never put in my information, i went looking for people selling and accepting non paypal purchases, i ends tomorrow so hopefully i win, it's refurbished.
Here you go guys,
http://www.cowboom.com/search/results.cfm?keywords=htc+hero
should be about 11 up, most are bids but 2 of em can be bought directly and shipped out.
