AT&T N1 for sale

I thought I'd see if anybody on the forums would want this before I post it on Ebay. It is 850/1900/2100 version (AT&T), not refurbished, only one owner (me), WAS NEVER rooted. It has always had a screen protector and case on the device, since the first day I received it. The ONLY flaw with this is some scratches on the screen protector. The actual screen is still in 10/10, perfect condition. I'm not quite sure what else to put... I've never sold anything on the forums before. I guess if you need any additional pictures and such, just PM me?
Inside the box:
1-Original box
1-Nexus One phone
1-Original battery
1-Original 4GB Micro-SD card
1-Original headphones (never used)
1-Original Nexus One Android case
1-Original manuals
2-free packs of some extra screen protectors

i'm trying to sell it for $300, as it is in really great condition and has everything the came with the box still. i'm not sure how much shipping would be, but I'm guessing an average of $15?

I mean no disrespect to you but...I think $300 is a lot to ask.
They're like $180 tops on EBay. I think they have some that are new for $175 on there.

oh wow.. i had no idea the price was that low for it now...

the galaxy nexus is $399, i think you should sell it $180 - $240

$300? LOL. Dude, the 180mb internal storage, single core proc, broken multi touch, ****ty battery life... compared to a $399 Galaxy Nexus... that has none of those things... Yeah, you're dreaming man.
You can buy Nexus One's all day long on ebay for about $125! You're not going to get any more than that here.

Haha 125

Please provide which payment method that you accept and where do you locate? Where will you ship? International or domestic only?

300$ for the nexus one is overpriced got mine for 150 euro`s nowadays i can easily get a one x , s2 and galaxy nexus for 300-400$ its gonna be hard to sell but good luck

I'm located in the Los Angeles area in California, USA.
selling for $180 with a rough estimate of $15-20 for shipping in THE U.S. ONLY.
International buyers will pay for a different shipment amount as I think it will cost more along with insurance if you want that. I'm trying to stay clear of International buyers, because of bad past experiences.
Payment method I will only accept is PayPal.

TF300T $279.99 at Best Buy this Black Friday

Is this tab a good deal for $279? Its the 16gb version norm price is $379. I just wanna make sure everything works well. Any problems with this tab? I have the Lenovo Ideapad K1 and the biggest problem I have with it, is its has horrible WiFi signal and I haven't seen any WiFi issues with this tab. But I did notice that this tab doesn't have gorilla glass. So I also want to make sure the glass doesn't get to scratched easily and that its sensitive enough.
Thanks, Dev

Good luck actually getting one, but I think it sounds like a good deal. Remember this does have expandable memory, so really internal storage isn't a huge problem. I had the transformer prime for a while, loved it, but couldn't justify the expense so I returned it. This thing is the exact same device with a plastic back and slightly lower res screen If this sale is going on cyber Monday too I'm certainly snagging one.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'd run with it. I have the 32 GB version, with another 32 GB micro SD card. I paid $297 for mine on the no tax weekend at Micro Center in St. Louis. These were on clearance. I've had 4 tablets already, the Acer Iconia 500, the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab 2, and this one. I've enjoyed this one more than all the others.
Today, a boss of mine, that I see once a year, came in, and noticed he had an iPad with him. I really wanted to say to him, "So, you got a pretentious hunk of junk, huh?" But I figured that would hurt his feelings.

You can get the 32Gb version at Walmart for 319. You can't walk in the store and get it for that though. You have to pay for it online and then go get it. I just did that.

Same here...sure would like the link so could pick it up at Bestbuy and not hassle with Black Friday crowds! Like the $299 OfficeDepot price for the 32GB but w/sd card don't think I need the add'l 16GB. Other than production apps that can't use SD storage, any major benefit for getting the 32Gb model?
Also (and new thread likely best, but...) this'll be my first tablet. Mostly for multimedia, browsing, e-books, & general game playing - considering Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 too. Though Galaxy might(?) have a better multimedia experience (not so much into the Galaxy's "extra" GUI), but TF300T seems to have better multimedia & overall performance. Am I losing much if any on graphics & sound in going for the better performance? Sorry, I know it's been discussed some elsewhere, but need some additional thoughts to help me know I'm not making the wrong choice!

My advice is to make sure you can return it just in case you're not happy with it. I/O issue plagues most of current Asus pads so in the end, lower price may not justify the frustration. Again you might be ok with it but just in case.

Good point - just checked with Office Depot and they do give 14 days to return it for a full refund. So that shouldn't be a problem...
As for the I/O issue, how prevalent is it? I did a quick search and did find some references. This has me greatly concerned and if it's that big problem of a problem, then about only alternative is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. But being a dual core, was worried it'd be noticeably slow in running apps, browsing/viewing multimedia, etc. Did like some aspects of the Galaxy, but was really leaning towards the TF300T.
Just came across one XDA thread from August discussing ASUS working on fixing this and the OTA 4.0.4 greatly helped the benchmarks. Is it possible a new kernel or update has corrected the issues at this point? Another in September mentioned using a custom ROM...I plan on rooting it, though just as with my EVO3D thought I'd stay with the stock rooted ROM. I'd figure this an option to help correct the problem if I do encounter it (and if necessary, run a different ROM)?
Lastly, how difficult is it to root?
Thanks much for the insights!!

Can you get the Black version only at BB? I would love to get that one but online for $279..

I noticed on the Office Depot Black Friday ad that they have the TF300T 32Gb for $299.99 (advertised as blue so may not be the black you want). Some items are available for sale online tomorrow - Update: turns out have to go to the store on Friday morning to get this deal. I know it's an extra $20 and quite possibly blue, but still a good deal...
And yes, after reading more I feel less wary of the i/o issue. Some had encountered it, others not and seemed that OTA updates (possibly moving from ICS to Jelly Bean) helped. Plus rooting and running a custom ROM is another option or worst case, bring it back...
Looks like another round of learning regarding unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Was reading a bit about being able to do OTA updates if rooted (but not unlocked), and restoring root after. Seems to me on my EVO3D doing OTA's after unlocking & rooting weren't recommended, and that may be the case here too? I do have to go back and do more reading on these topics!

"Refurbished" is derived from the Greek for "...someone else's broken stuff".
Used tablets are like used underwear. It may wash up nice but I can never forget it's had someone else's ass in it.

I do not see it always bad to buy used or refurbished. But you really should think.
New for 32 gb 499.99 average price retail with 1 year warranty
Refurbished 32 gb average say 410.00 no warranty add 50.00 for hard to get them to pay warranty $460.00 if no shipping can
Save you 40.00 or gamble it will not break
So my honest well thought out opinion is spend the extra 40.00 plus buy good premium drop protection warranty.
Can save you money in the future.
Good luck

I purchased this case and I love it. I got the Red Carbon Fiber look. It holds the tablet securely without adding much bulk, and provides great access to everything, open or closed. The leather feel isn't super soft, but somewhat rigid and firm, which is nicer to me than just hard plastic, or soft leather. The prop up also works great and is very stable. For 20 bucks, I am absolutely happy with it.

that groupon link is for refurb'ed units. Walmart is also selling refurb for about $5 i think (both 16 and 32 version). But with Walmart you have 90 days to return...

You are missing out !

NOT !!!
To make a long story short, The Tab Pro 8.4 is better than the Tab S 8.4
I made a switch to the Tab S because of the 3gb memory... well the thing lags a little compared to my previous Tab Pro.
I wanted Knox - the Tab S didn't have the container preinstalled and the Knox apk posted here in the forum does not work. And I can't find it on the Samung appstore either - yes I am not going to root this device.
Less bloatware - yes the Tab S has more bloatware and they can't be "stopped" like Evernote etc.
Better screen - as with my other Samsung Super Amoled devices, the screen looks pinkish and the bottom half is darker than the top half... This is a problem with the S4, Note 2, Note 3 which I had before (I must be the luckiest guy in the gadgetworld), and it really is annoying me especially at night when the screen is the only thing emitting light in my room which makes it very obvious.
Welcome home, tab pro !!!

If you ever hope to do anything development related (like flash a custom ROM), avoid the S like the plague and get the Pro. "Custom ROM" and "Exynos chipset" don't belong in the same sentence anymore. The Pro 8.4 has a Qualcomm SnapDragon 800 and a bunch of custom ROMs already.

As long as it's "manufacturer" refurbished, you are good. I've purchased a few tablets/phones that were manufacturer refurbished, and all have been flawless and appeared brand new. They usually come with a limited warranty also (90 days) so that makes it a bit better. 3rd party refurbs can vary greatly in condition/quality.
I just picked up a manufacturer refurb tab pro 8.4 and it arrived yesterday. Came in a white samsung box, and again, it's physically flawless (not a single mark on the screen or back), and works great. I always root/unlock my android devices, so the factory warranty only lasts so long with me, which is why I buy used/refurbs a lot.

As long as it's "manufacturer" refurbished, you are good. I've purchased a few tablets/phones that were manufacturer refurbished, and all have been flawless and appeared brand new. They usually come with a limited warranty also (90 days) so that makes it a bit better. 3rd party refurbs can vary greatly in condition/quality.
I just picked up a manufacturer refurb tab pro 8.4 and it arrived yesterday. Came in a white samsung box, and again, it's physically flawless (not a single mark on the screen or back), and works great. I always root/unlock my android devices, so the factory warranty only lasts so long with me, which is why I buy used/refurbs a lot.

Yeah that's is basically what I always do when I get a new Android device, root that baby... now a found a used in mint conditions pro 8.4 but is running cm11.
Before I pull the plug want to know how easy is to Odin back to stock? I ask this because on my search for a stock rom I end up in some treads that said that they are stuck on a loop after trying to Odin back to stock.
Also I can't find a stock rom (odin) on this forum... can someone link the right tread if there is please.?
Thanks in advance.

Never had a problem when I used Odin to revert back to stock rom on my Pro 8.4, but the knox was still 0x1, but luckily no one checked when I returned mine, though it had a hardware fault so I returned it.

I went with the pro. The deal I got at the time made it a total no brainer. 250$ price from Best Buy plus a 50$ best buy gift card. Also got two 25$ Google Play codes. Basically got a brand new tab pro 8.4 for a whopping 150$....no way the Tab S is worth 400$.

The week before the tab S came out in retail, Best Buy slashed the price in stores to 249.99$, and for a couple of days, if you ordered it online you got a 50$ gift card sent to you too. It was a crazy deal.

Oh okay... I did some searching and found some deals related to this but already expired. boo hoo.
Not sure what I'm going to do if I'm going to just order another refurb or what. I originally got the GTP because it had infrared but it appears to be kinda proprietary and I'm not a fan of the application. I'll have to do some additional research to see if there are other customizable applications for total home theater control (including HTPC) to see if this model is even going to accomplish what I was hoping for. But getting it NEW for $250 would surely seal the deal for me!

For 8.4 model, Tab Pro is much better because 800 processor is better than Exynos.
For 10 model, they're draw.
AMOLED on Tab S looks better (less red tint) than 8.4, but keep in mind that Tab Pro does not have screen burn problem.
However, there's a minor feature on Tab S a lot of users overlooked: charging port. You can put the unit in landscape and charge.
