Buying a "LIKE NEW" used XOOM - Xoom General

Can someone tell me what exactly I should be checking for when I buy it? I don't want to end up with a non functional unit. Thank you.

I would check that it turns on.

Check Wifi, Check BT, Touch screen in as many spots as you can touch.
Check for previous users pictures, hopefully he had a hot girl friend.

Also, if its a 3g Xoom call VZW before you hand over any cash and make sure it is able to be activated.

Only if he intends to use 3g otherwise its not needed. I don't think anybody has made a kirf version of the xoom yet so its not too concerned yet. Mainly because it ain't widely popular and chinese manufacturer wanna make money off something like ipad cuz most people could fall for that. Back to the op, check if it turns on, check the screen and stuff, smoothness...etc hardware wise actually, such as a cracked or dusted screen

IF I was buying a used 3G Xoom I would definitely meet at a Verizon store (or call) and have it activated, before I would hand over a dime. You certainly don't want to find out down the road that the unit was reported stolen and cannot be activated.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a Verizon store where we were meeting and asked her to come over there. She said she already have Verizon's plan on it and thanked me for reminding her to cancel it.

Make sure you check for dead pixels! He could have sold it for that reason? People are idiots and you never know. If he was so clumsy to not remember to cancel his account, then I would be suspicious.
Just my 2 sense!

Just got it. And it is like new. Everything working and no dead pixels anywhere. Also I got the 3G version for $600 with a book like case with it. She said she only used it like 3 times.

Was she cute? Second date, perhaps? ... The first documented Xoom inspired romance?
-just kidding around. Glad you got a winner. Buying used can be difficult.

Idea to honour the N1, the King of phones.

I was just thinking, in two or three years when we've all moved on from our N1s, we could band together and stick them together into a giant android sculpture, or a transformer
#random
Crazy idea buddy but good idea to honor the n1, the best bravest and most innovative phone ever but the worst treated by the media, utterly assassinated.
Maybe a site which each person with an n1 IMEI rate their n1 online on a 1 to 5 scale - and get a virtual n1 to build a sculpture with, and a place to write comments on their virtual n1.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Or maybe make a chat app like chatroulette that uses the device numbers as registration so its n1 users only then create a meetup.

Long story short, he payed me 50 bucks to make his as awesome as mine.
Too bad I forgot to mention I voided his warranty xD

I wonder how long it will be until Google has a manufacturer produce another developer phone?
The Nexus one is the most perfect phone for me and I cant see anything but another developer phone replacing it. It's beautiful, cutting edge, gets updates quicker, is with T-mobile, and is not under carrier control.
What more could you want?
I only know two other people who have nexii one. And they both bought one because they saw how awesome mine was.
Im sure we could get google to organise something like this, an N1 graveyard of kings.
I wonder how well it would've sold if it had been available in stores.
Now that Google have announced they have the final batch of N1s from HTC, I went and ordered another one! I'm going to leave it in mint condition.
I have had range of different cell phones since 1993 and none come close to the N1.
I know that the future will bring much better phones, however, I do recognise what Google was trying to achieve with the N1.

I unlocked it, rooted it, upgraded his radio and kernel (OC, UV - and he was still running 2.1 update 1. Working for Tmo you'd think he'd get the upgrades first xD) And after that, I gave him CM6, cause that was pretty much the easiest way to get all of the GOOD mods in one. I gave him ADW using the paperless theme, and he thought that was way cool, along with the black desire notification bar. It probably took me, including download times, about 25 minutes using his laptop. So, if I could do this for a living, I could charge $120 an hour =D

Good idea for an APP. Kind of like Google Latitude, but open, and it only shows other people with the same phone. =D

Not a lot, but what if they come out with a phone that has 1gb of RAM and a dual core 2ghz proc.
I'm pretty sure that if there was a developer phone with something like that, I *might* drop my Nexus, and run drooling to the online store =D

Definitely get another Evo, unless you want a physical keyboard. I'd be very surprised if Sprint cannibalizes the Evo & Epic that quickly (before the holiday season).
I don't know what's scheduled to be released, but I'd be surprised if Sprint adds anything Android better than a non-4G, 1GHz, 3.7" screen by then.

MY question is how are you eligible for an upgrade already? Is it another line on your account? I would say the Epic looks pretty amazing though I have heard mixed reviews on the Super AMOLED screens outside. And yeah I work at a Sprint store I haven't heard anything about any amazing new phone coming out by the holidays.

i almost got my phone stolen, some little turd stole it from my belt clip, a friend and I chased him around the projects until he was too tired to keep running, and tried to duck into his apartment building. at which time my phone was returned. thankfully with out much more hassle.
stuff happens.
to the OP. unless you were unhappy with the evo, id say get another. sorry about the stolen phone

Only thing Epic has going for it is the Camera and keyboard... I don't like the UI at all... played with one a day ago, and it just didn't compare to a 2.2 evo sluggish really.. play with one before you get it.

maybe when it's in reference to a person.
OP: pay the $100 for the evo, sell it to recoup the initial and some of the insurance cost, and get the epic, since you're probably going to get it anyway. even though you'll have to spend $100 up front (or in your bill), you will be able to recover some of the money you initially spent on the original device. there's no use in not doing so if you have insurance. i would do it even if i had a touch pro. I sold mine for $150 a week ago. you aren't defrauding anyone if your phone actually got stolen.

Know a little inside info on the annoucement from Sprint Vendor :) Feb 7th

Okay guys don't troll me here but I did find out a little bit about the announcement. Okay, it's a new 4g phone, that runs android...may seem short or like I didn't give you any information but this is what it is. So, let's hope it's an HTC device that does something amazing hopefully...once again, please no trolling just passing on the info I received from my store when the Sprint vendor came in to setup a display at the mobile store in my store.
sweet. a phone not a tablet!
I highly doubt a Sprint tech at a random store knows anything about the February 7th announcement.

Not saying he's making $ off of you, but I guarantee you he thought that by telling you some "inside" information you'd stick around and buy something.

This is the announcement
Its pre-beta-5G.
But it's only available on select planets in the solar system.
A premium $50 a month data fee will be charged to your plan whether you can access it or not.

Actually, realistically, retooling the iphone for Sprint would take minimal effort. No iphone is or ever will be branded, so basically the Verizon one is simply a "cdma iphone" programmed for Verizon. I'm not HOPING for this as the announcement, as I actually switched to android from an iphone, and I'm happy I did, so I don't care either way about a Sprint i-turd. Just saying it would take very little to do it.

How did someone get the Vibrant 4g early?

Ok so yesterday I was on craigslist right, and I noticed someone had a Vibrant 4g. I didn't believe it myself, so I decided to meet the guy and see if its true. Sure enough, it was a Vibrant 4g! He told me he got it early? But how? It had the new.brown backing, and a different box. Ffc, stock 2.2.1, and the H data. He wanted 500obo for it.

Haha you might wanna go check your topic in Q&A cause no ones buying it. You've already been reported at least twice to ebay for fraudulent listing. For any future con jobs, try not to advertise your crime to a forum full of people who, EVERY DAY, use the exact phone youre trying to trick us into buying.
Or just, you know, dont be a criminal. But we all know thats useless advice. Once a thief, always a thief.

Look at the thread "Received Galaxy S 4G Early" in Q&A before calling me a douche. If it wasnt obvious enough, I wasnt talking to the OP, I was talking about the guy I quoted.
I did my research, unlike you.
EDIT: Also I dont even believe he was drunk...he may have been, but I believe the misleading auction was completely intentional. If he took the time to unlock it, surely he would have noticed VIBRANT in big bright white letters when you first boot the phone. I think he's just backpedaling since pretty much everyone in his thread called him on his bull****.

I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.

A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!
I want one...I love my Xoom but this other thing has the ability to "access various types of flies, whatever the source". Take that Motorola!

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

+1 on sarcasm!
Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.
Wow... Really? I guess there's one in every group. Try this thing called reading before you write. The main purpose of this was to show my buddy I wasn't the only one who saw this as bogus. Thank you however on your insight. We are all definitely a lot better for it!!

He was trolling.
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.
