As the title says... Box and manuel etc are all for the 32gig wifi model! Not impressed tho, waste of my time.. Have to send it back an wait till this coming thursday for a replacement!
Anyone else had this problem? Great bit of kit tho, looking forward to being able to use.. Ordered a 32gb mem card! Shame there isnt a great deal of proper cases/gel covers for it?
What exectly is your problem?

He gotta 16GB instead of the 32GB on board memory ... Bad juju.....
Yep! Didnt even think the A501 was out yet!
Only issue apart from that is lack of asscesories (hopefully change soon) and the grid for placment of widgets? Is that changable, so they dont snap to?
Thanks
I heard about people getting the 16GB intead of 32GB but not with 3G. A misstake at packaging, no problems changing the bought device to a 32GB version.

No, isnt a problem changing it.. Just more waiting!
GammaRascal- you will excuse me if i dont jump at the chance to 'sell' you my thread, go to trouble of joining? Just to bull****... Have better things to do, but thanks for the helpful reply!
Nope, I'm just saying I don't buy it without proof.
While I have heard of 1 person buying a 16gb version of the tablet and thinking they were buying a 32gb version, no proof was ever posted in that instance either and you're suggesting the box was labeled a501 and 32gb?
I call bs. As sofiaeriksson suggested, that could be a packaging error but 1 instance of that happened? Unlikely.
And since you're OP it was only a waste of your time - as if to suggest you paid the same price for a 32gb 3g model as you would have for the currently only released 16gb wifi model, it sounds more like you made a shady deal and got taken.
As the title says.. I ordered the 32gb wifi model and go the 16gb 3g model, box etc and lable says 32gig A500!
It would seem like a packaging error how else do you explain the mix up in model/packaging!..
I will take a photo of the device infomation and post it.. Just so i can sleep at night, thinking about how much it plays on my mind that you dont trust me!
You're right. You did say, you picked up an a500 32gb but you got an a501 16gb 3g.
Let me clarify.
To my knowledge, there is no a500 32gb in the wild. (**correction: J&R seem to be the only site listed from acer that have a 32gb version) I don't know where you ordered it from but you say the box is labeled 32gb and that error just hasn't been reported.
Believe me, if there were a slew of shipped 16gb a500 packaged in 32gb labeled boxes, there would a ton of pissed off consumers (; But there isn't. Something is fishy there. I'm not necessarily pointing fingers at you... I'm just saying, it doesn't add up.
There is no 3g model in the wild. While pre-patched a500 will say a501 in the tablet specs, it is in fact, an a500. The same reason why when you open up the sim slot, you'll see that extra area for what would be the sim card. It's just that we're sharing the same body with the a501 and shipped revision.
If you send it back, I'm not exactly sure what they will do with it. Where did buy it from and how much did you pay?

Wrong. There are LOADS of 32gb A500 models in the wild. I'm posting this from one of them.

Check the flag under my name... Maybe the US got short shrift. AFAIK, *all* A500's in the EU are 32gb models.

Maybe. I don't know. I'm not seeing any here. I just assumed the OP was NA.
Assumed huh? i am in the uk and got mine from currys!
Should be a little less quick to shoot other people down because you assume im wrong or bullshitting you rascal!
Just calm down there Fillthee. There's no reason to escalate. I stand by everything I said. There are 32gb models available. I did correct my post before FloatingFatMan responded and I did say 'To my knowledge' not, 'It's a fact'. (speaking from NA) I knew there were 32gb models out there, there are many post from people here who claimed as much as part of their description or in passing.
I'm still calling this a bs complaint but that's neither here nor there. You're only recourse is to send it back if, in fact, there was a 16gb model in a 32gb box. At this point, pictures wouldn't even prove your argument. It's just bs all around.
3G models aren't out.
32gb models aren't out.
Only place 32GB models are listed is on jr.com.

Totally, utterly and completely wrong, wrong wrong.
The US is merely a tiny portion of the larger world, y'know. 32gb models are available in plentiful supply in Europe.
I find it funny how im full of it just because it isnt for sale in the US? Im well aware that the 3G model isnt out!!
Which was the point of the thread as i was rather supprised when i checked the device - finding it to be a 16gb 3G ..
i had that same problem. I bought mine in Sweden when it launched. The packaging and manual said 32gb wifi, the tablet was 16gb wifi. As for many orhers in the tab specs (about tablet) it said A501, it said the same on my new 32gb model but that's fixed with the new update that i got today.
At the retailer they said the product id on the box was consistent with the id on the tab (about tablet). This is a packaging error, nothing more and it's easy to change it to get what you paid for. It's unfortniute but **** happens. Atleast fir me my retailer threw in a 32gb micro sd card for the problem f going back to change it.
I've heard of this happening three times in sweden, prob more though.
The conlusion, he read A501 in the tablet specs and didn't know it was a common misstake.,.problem solved.
Exchange it and ask for some compensation like a micro sd, usb flash drive or something like that, hopefully you'll get something good for the problems this caused you.

Hi all,
I have recieved my phone from mobiles.co.uk finaly who initially advertised the I9000 as the 16gb version... This is incorrect and have since changed their website to 8gb..
I have been in contact with mobiles.co.uk who have tried to send me an 8gb memory to make up the difference. Like probably most of us here we already have 8gb memory cards so this is useless but may be useful to you.
I would advise that anybody who has purchased the Samsung Galaxy S from mobiles.co.uk as the 16gb version, to double check and you'll probably find its the 8 and if you want to return it.. do so before the return policy runs out and goto vodaphone for the 16.
I am curious how many people they have done this too!!!
Hi, I bought mine from Mobiles.co.uk, and yes it was advertised as 16g, but it was also advertised as having an LED Flash at one point. But being realistic I never expected to get a 16G version since Vodafone announced a UK exclusive on it. Mobiles corrected this as soon as they got them. I didnt bother asking for an 8 gig card, as you say, we mostly already have them.
You are fully entitled to send it back, and get one from Vodafone, but it will be locked, and likely Vodafone branded with the red dog turd. So I'm happy with my 8G version, and its hardly a limitation given we can add another 32G in the SDHC slot.
I guess its a question of weither you feel cheated or hard done by, or weither you shrug it off as an easy oversight in today's world where a new gadget arrives every week.
Thats exactly it.. but would rather be given the choice than realise when its too late and cant send it back.. Vodafone offer it for £35pm and dont give the half price offer neither which would pay for the SD card..
Just a note to people... thats all.
guys do you know if this phone work on tmobile US? can I buy it off and get it send over to the us????
thanks
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 :-/
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...N1-is-ATT-compatiable?p=13593749#post13593749
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.

I think it's the European or EMEA version. What those holes are though, I don't know.

I belief samsung removed the micro sd since HC doesn't support it nativity and they can use that excuse to lower the cost of the tab. Anyway i hope i was wrong.
And the tech specs on that samsung site is out updated since march (still android 3.0), here's the new one http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html 3G no micro sd.
And here the http://www.samsung.com/us/microsite/galaxytab/index.html on the FAQ they say no SD slot i assume they meant micro sd slot. Since before they update to this page, on the comment lots of people ask about micro sd slot. Once page updated the FAQ say no sd slot.

It says Android 3.0 on many websites, not unusual to find errors like that. That could go for the microSD part as well of course. My source is www.samsungmobilepress.com yours is samsung.com.

If there are no microSD and THAT is the reason, then the devs are not too bright imo. There is a big difference in file transfer speed, wouldn't you say?
Yes, I totally agree with the speed difference. Also not good for those of us on capped 3G and also capped broadband services.
This was where I saw mention of the cloud service, it say's it unconfirmed but time will tell.

over 10+ 10.1 tab on the floor only one got the micro sd but they type it out
http://www.thaiandroidphone.com/data/attachment/forum/201106/02/161843baz77qn78z7fyjq7.jpg I did talk to the employee and they are pretty sure the retail ver won't have micro sd that's why the have to type it out.
I preorder the 3G ver on the show and they say the earliest is june 30 but will prolly be out on july-aug. I know this suck I myself would love for it to have micro sd. Hope samsung will notice how important it is to have micro sd and do it right before they release it.
So im from Trinidad and Tobago and a local independent phone store has the DVP available for 2200 TTD, roughly (2200/6.45) 341 USD.
Here is the situation, its the TMobile Phone that they unlocked and to make matters worse it the 8gb version -_-
1. So first, can i get the update to mango even if im not on the TMobile network.
2. Secondly if i get the 8gb im gonna want to upgrade it and if i do so, im going all or nothing 32gbs bbe How easy is it to upgrade the Micro SD Card and can anyone do a youtube tutorial video?
Any insights/asnweres (preferably answers) would be greatly appreciated. Keep on doing the do pplz
1. Yes
2. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10789265&postcount=10 Keep in mind that you're going to void the warranty
Save your money, the dvp would have been great, but dell fkd up in so many ways. Just read the threads and you will see.
most of the issues have been fixed by now with firmware updates and mango. Also currently dell only sells the dvp with a 16gb (which is perfect size for 99% of people) unlocked so no need to worry about carrier issues and 16gb is great too.
Only thing you need to ask yourself now is the size to big for you?

Hi
I received one of the latest batch of N7 3Gs this week and I'm quite disappointed on 2 counts; the screen is noticeably yellow and dull compared with the screen on my original 16GB and the 3G seems to be a bit fussy about what SIM I use. I'm thinking I might return for a refund and go with a normal 32GB and use a MiFi I already have for the odd occasion I need to use on 3G. I know that the 'yellow' screen issue has been discussed elsewhere in the forum and accept that the SIM slot in my device might be faulty but I cannot be bothered with the hassle of return & replacement through Google Play. If I go this way, I'll likely buy a 32GB locally through Tesco or JL in the UK.
I know this can be a bit subjective but I'm wondering how people find the screens on the current 32GB models, particularly so if they've had the chance to compare with the 16GB model (or the 3G version). Are the 32GB screens bright and vibrant like the 16GB seem to be (I looked at a current 16GB on display in Tesco this morning and that seemed to be the same as my original 16GB and was certainly better than the '3G'). Any comments on this will be appreciated.
Cheers - Y

Thanks. Yep, I'm aware of that and mentioned it in my OP. I'm looking for feedback as to whether the current 32GB non-3G N7s have the same 'yellow' screen.:fingers-crossed:
Actualy this can happen in any model, so far.
