Bought 16 gig wifi tab 10.1 from Curries Ponterfact last week
found out after opening the box cannot use this in France on wifi
spoke to customer (jobs worth) services waste of time even though
i am within 21 days for a return and willing to pay extra for the 3g tab
they will not take it back as the box has been opened.?
Statutory rights m8.
If the item is not fit for purpose they are obligated to fix it.
If it can't be fixed then replaced if can't replace you can get a refund.
Just because Currys have their own returns policy doesn't mean that you don't have rights.
They will try prove that item is faulty or does not work properly but obviously they won't be able to, only thing you need to remember is that the customer is always right

I think you may have misunderstood, there's some text that say's you can't use the Tab WiFi in France only if you're outdoors. Something to do with frequency interference, I'm sure it'll work fine indoors though. I'm taking my Tab to France at the end if next month.

Did you actually try it?
Something like this makes no sense. WiFi is WiFi, there's nothing that will make it not work in a specific country.
Exception: In Japan/Europe, there are a few extra channels not present in the United States.
Also, all European countries use the same frequencies.
Israel has a specific restriction on outdoor use of four channels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
As to it being fit for use - it was fit for use in the country it was sold in. If you want to guarantee fitness for use in your own country, buy it in your own country.

Your wifi will work, but you're not supposed to use any wifi device outdoors in France by the looks of it. A google search shows that lots of people have found the same warning in their device instructions, although many seem to ignore it.

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.
I am a college student in Dallas, Texas that is currently trying to sell my X7501. It has served me well through class lectures and the "occasional" internet browsing. It saved me numerous times navigating through inner city streets when my old phone died too. Sad to say, it is now time for me to let it go and let someone else enjoy it.
This comes with all the original box, literature, and cables. I will also include a 2 Gb microSD with the miniSD converter and will put it in the unit.
I have only owned this for a couple of months and am the original buyer. As for the price, I will say $725 shipped in the US. Payment via paypal.
The specs and everything I'm sure you know already, but for any other questions or if you are interested just PM me or e-mail me at [email protected]

are u NUTS!!!
First of all they have released the x7510, so this is old, and they are going for 450.00 on ebay w/ warranty, 550 nib...helloooo
Pretty sure I'm not crazy
Yes, I took a look at ebay before I posted. I do know that the X7510 is out, but it is just a refresh or this, same hardware, different harddrive, and a conference cam in front. I'm open for offers.

OK, we know the 7510 is out - but can you provide links to ones on ebay going for that price -I might buy one myself!
Forgot to mention
I already have ap4 installed and working flawlessly for those that don't want to mess with that aspect of it. Other included softwares are tomtom6 and a sketching program. Oh yes! I've even thrown in that 2GB MiniSD ( well more like a microSD converted to miniSD)
Come on now, give some offers to this poor college student.
(Please don't tell me that I made myself poor by buying this machine in the first place...at full price)
No he's not crazy.
I agree send me the link for a 7510 for $550 and I'll quickly send my money to Russia and never get the unit
I just happily paid $700 AU for a 7500 (used). These things have kept their value well and you really can't touch one on fleabay for under $600US.

Dear customer
.We are emailing to inform you that we will have the WHITE Galaxy Note II in stock later on*today*and will be dispatching orders placed for that model on Monday. We realise that you have ordered the TITANIUM model but thought we should ask you if you wanted to change to white as we are not expecting the titanium version until week commencing October 10th.Also, we have learned that the SIM free stock is not 4G capable, only 3G capable so if you wish to cancel your order for that reason then please let us know
No 4g do we really need 4g in uk as it isnt out yet but when it is the phone is not compatible what do u guys think

Well, I'm not in the UK, but I have lived my entire Mobile life without 4G / LTE. I've streamed netflix just fine, pandora or other music, downloaded podcasts, everything just fine. So do you "need" it? I don't think so. But I think extra bandwidth is always a good thing.
Btw, my average download speed was 1.6 mbps, sometimes higher, others lower.
Don't know if that helps any, good luck in your decision!
You only need 4G when you have poor 3G in you country/area.

4g is comming to ee
yay I'm now a member.
LTE is WAY faster than HSPA+ even at 21Mbps due to its low latency. Please do not say "3G" is sufficient as I was so wrong to think that. Downloading ROMs in 15 minutes is a freaking blessing.

I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 3. I dropped it slightly and the whole thing shattered, LED screen cracked as well. I am looking to purchase a replacement and I see original ones on eBay but they were taken off of the CDMA versions of the phone (either Verizon or Sprint). If I were to purchase one, would it work on mine?

I'm able to do it myself. I just wanted to know before I purchased one.
If they are as generic as stated, then yeah no reason you couldn't do it yourself. - It isn't an easy feat from what I have seen though. - Best thing to do would be email Samsung or a phone shop and ask if the screens are indeed compatible for all models just to be safe.
I'm not able to find a original samsung screen replacement for the Note 3. Anyone know of a legit shop or site that sells them?
Never purchased one myself, but just did a quick search on google.. this place looks okay, dont take my word for it though, i did not research the seller. They are advertised as OEM parts though.

Discussions related to Google Pixel used/bought in/out of Philippines goes here. Please avoid OT as far as possible.
Picked up a Google Pixel 32GB from the gray market last week. Prices are still quite high. I am told the source is the India market, and the packaging and included AC Adapter seems to confirm this.
I can confirm Google Photos recognizes the Pixel and says photos and videos will be backed up at original quality. I wasn't sure it would since it's been found some features like Support don't work outside the launch countries.
I'm using the phone on Smart network, and here is the major disappointment: LTE Data flat out does not seem to work, at least in the areas where I find myself. I've set the phone to prefer 3G networks, but missing LTE speeds and coverage that I got out of the 5X (such as it is for Smart).
Finding a case for it in stores has been pretty much impossible (Spigen are only selling the XL cases), so I ended up ordering from Lazada where I found one sold by Ringke Direct.
An update on the situation with Smart LTE data: this seems fixed in the 7.1.1 update (NMF26O), or even in the Canadian update (NPF26J), as I now get mobile data in LTE preferred. I do still find spots where LTE shows no internet connection where I need to switch to 3G only. This may already be down to Smart's network as I recall in the past that my Nexus 5X had the same problem forcing me to go 3G.
I hope the local carriers would bring the Pixel here in the Philippines. Just got the OG Pixel recently and I love it. Wanting to get the Pixel 2 but it is just too pricey in grey markets and isn't covered by warranty.
