Making use of my visit to Miami - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I'll be visiting Miami this coming weekend for about a week or so. I am currently living in the Dominican Republic. As many of you know, living in another country limits me in a few areas.
I was planning on setting up my samsung acct while in Miami as to download the touchwiz update. Well I couldn't wait and just rooted and downloaded a new rom instead...
I'm looking for any other ideas you can all think of regarding how to make use of this trip in regards to my tab as well as my infuse 4g while we're at it. Definitely going to buy a case for the tab while there. Not sure which or from where, but I def need one asap.
Thanks for any input!

You don't go to Miami to play with your GTab... you go to gawk at the hotties!

Yes yes, very true. Let me assure you I'll be in good company
Never been to MIA before so pretty excited. Grew up in Los Angeles, but am currently working in the Dominican Republic (plenty of gawking here as well)...

put the tab down and enjoy south beach

When/if you come in from the beach, I'd strongly recommend the Samsung Book Case. This case will very nicely complement your Tab device, without adding bulk. I love mine!

I have really been liking the samsung book case since it was available, then not, then again... Is it still primarily only being sold through samsung though? I'm not exactly sure when I'll be able to get a case in Miami, but was thinking a bestbuy or something. Thoughts? And thanks for the input everyone!

Their are a lot of hhgregg stores that opened up in south Florida. I know because I live in Florida. Go online and see the hhgregg nearest you, I got my Samsung book cover case their because bestbuy doesn't carry them.

Best Buy only carries the Belkin cases. I purchased the thin folio from there, and it isn't the best, but it gets the job done. Il probably grab the Samsung case soon.

Miami + Galaxy Tab10.1 = Best of both worlds
Miami is my home and I have tab 10.1, While on your trip visit a store called TigerDirect.com it's a few miles south of Miami and has all accessories. Make sure you go to Lincon Rd while on South Beach and Tab away in front of your dinnery. Be sure totake the othrr half to Bayside to her shop on and maybe take a dinner boat.

someone mentioned hhgregg, i went to the one in aventura to try to find the samsung case, they dont ahve it there, just the leather pouch. i wanted time going there, dont waste yours if you are looking for the official samsung case. they might have it at another location, just ended up buying mine online

I'm selling my Ameo

HERE you can find my auction for a brand new in box T-mobile Ameo.
As it states it's brand new in box so is locked to t-mobile.
I am willing to unlock it if that is something the winning bidder would be interested in.

Just out of curiosity, why are you selling it?

Long story but...
I have a wizard (for tinkering), a Kaiser (for day to day use) and the ameo for on the go media etc.
I don't really use the ameo that often and it therefore spends quite a lot of its time in my bedside drawer.
Anyway i had the misfortune of losing it on the way to work a week or so ago and have received the new one as a replacement.
Thought i'd take the opportunity to recoup some money (and maybe buy a meizu)
Thats odd, I've been searching Ebay for 4 weeks now. Thought I had every athena/advantage/ameo/x7500/u1000 in my watch list but for some reason I didn't have that one.
Anyway I just won one 2hrs ago for £300 so looks like your auctions going well.
went pretty good in the end. got 360 english.
Man I've been looking for one of those for a while. It's either that or the Shift for me right now.

you did well there. the value of ameo/athenas is plummeting so if you're not using one now's the time to sell. luckily there are still some wallies setting 500 quid buy it nows on ebay so by power of contrast its helping us more grounded individuals get a better price.
The ones on there for £400 buy it now just don't seem to sell

It's probably because there's better stuff out there for less now. It's not as high tech as it was at the start of last year which was the one and only reason for having it.
I wouldn't pay 400 quid for any pocket pc nowadays as it seems that no matter how powerful a new device might be will never get over the barrier of being a windows mobile device. i like my internet and windows mobile just doesnt cut the mustard these days, so im not as taken to the platform as once i was.

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
bumppp......

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.

Another one bites the dust

My wife dropped it from her lap while getting out of our SUV. It landed face down and looks like it hit the corner first. We have a connection at T-mo so it is getting replaced today, no worries there.
My question is what to do with the busted phone. The LCD is fine and it even accepts input just fine so the digitizer is good. I found several threads on replacing the glass but it seems more of a project than I want to take on. Should I try to get it repaired? Just sell it for parts?
Thank you for reading.

If you can get the phone fixed for less than a hundred you might as well have it done. You could keep it as a spare or sell it for 200 bucks...
That was my though. Any suggestions for getting it fixed in the Seattle area? Or is HTC support a good economical way to go?
You can buy any part you need on ebay, and i just sold my hd2 for 315... so it's def worth it.
I heard HTC is super expensive. Then again it's only hearsay. I say just fix it yourself. If you can't oh well it's a spare.
@cris, what are HD2's going for locally? My brother can't even get rid of a perfectly working HD2 for $200 here in deep south texas.

They are going anywhere from 200 to 250ish here in the nati on craigslist... People are selling them with Android on them which I think is a little sketchy since there are so many builds that aren't perfect. Seems like a lot to me too.

Got my DOA xoom. WTF!!!

What else can I say about this other than I have to drive back to costco now
EDIT- Got my 8th post for pics now

No you've got it all wrong. You have one of those special 3D display Xooms.
Be happy!

That sucks. Hopefully they have plenty to exchange it.
Ouch! $800 worth of fail!
Ishhh... unlucky man... I hope you are alone for that.
I came home, setup a nice comfy spot on the couch with a cup of coffee and proceeded to mf everything in the house including my poor dog.

How nice of you but I can hear your chuckle
Actually, I really feel bad for you. You spent all of that money and got a brick.
What sucks worse is they might not have any more at the store. There's a guy over at xoomforums.com that has a dead pixel. He took it back to BBY and they had no more to replace it.

At the very least, you can return it for cash and try one of the other places selling them. I can't imagine that your entire city is completely out of stock.
But yeah, that sucks.
I can't scream it loudly enough. Everyone that wants the Xoom for $600 right now just buy it directly from the Motorola web site. I bought mine from Costco also, but when I tried the Chad Ocho Cinco coupon code on the Motorola Web site it gave me 25% off the Xoom and all accessories!
I have to pass along this great experience so that everyone else can take advantage of it.
can you be more specific about the coupon?
Just use coupon code OCNNSB25 at checkout and you will get 25% off the no contract price of 799 which will make it $599 plus tax. 2 day shipping is free. Just do it if you want it. Why asks why....

thanks a bunch. The xoom order page for motorola is down right now- the price isn't showing up for me. It was working like 15 minutes ago.
I wonder if i should order now or wait for the ipad 2 anouncement next week. It would suck if the code expires...do you know when this expires?
woohoo $200 in my pocket. And I just came back from costco with my new working xoom.

Does anyone know when costco will get the VZW LG G2?

I bought an HTC One about a week and a half ago and debating on returning it. I have until Friday, exactly two weeks from the day I bought it, to decide whether or not to return it. The G2 it looking more and more like the direction that I want to be going. I bought my One from costco so technically I can exchange up to 90 days after if they get it but I would hate to bank on them getting it in that window and end up with something I'm not 100% sure about. Just curious if anyone knows when costco will be getting the G2 for verizon? May help me make my decision.
Idk about when Costco will get it but u returned my HTC one for the g2 and its a great phone. The only thing I miss is the 2 speakers on the front. I can still hear this one though just not as loud.

Agree everything else is better but boomsound. Some people like aluminum but then they cover or up with a rubber case just to protect it anyway.

I do know that they have the at&t G2, so it is possible they will get the verizon G2, but no one knows when or if costco will get the phone because LG's are not typically big sellers. Verizon has a lot of exclusive motorola phones, which costco loves to sell over other phones so there's no way to be sure. I talked to a costco mobile rep and he said that if they are getting a phone they get a presentation for that phone and it is released two weeks later. You can keep checking back in or calling, personally I didn't want to play the waiting game and my phone was limping, so I just went ahead and upgraded.
Hey there. They will have this device on Home Delivery. You pay in store and they ship it to your house via UPS 3 day. I'm told they will have it this weekend nation wide for delivery. For 179.99!!
Edit: available now! Just got word !
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Well I decided to play it safe and just return my HTC One today. I went to the verizon store and spent a fair amount of time playing with the G2. I think that is going to be my next device. Waiting for Verizon to update my account with the contract reversal so that I can upgrade to the G2. From what I understand that is a coupon code that you can use to order it online through Verizon and save 60 bucks. Think I may go that route. We'll see.
looks like its on sale... are they trying to get rid of it?!
