It's a good phone when it wants to be but it's currently about to go off for repair and once it gets back, it should be a refurb therefore as new so I was thinking of selling just before my contract ends next month yada yada
I'm thinking either a Dell Venue Pro or an Xperia Play to replace it, probably the Dell and I was wondering how much an as new MS2 would sell for. Rooted or unrooted.
If anyone can suggest any good keyboard phones around the £200 mark, I'll take a look into them.
Droid 3 is also an option.

But droid 3 is twice the price of the Venue Pro and Xperia Play >.<
True, Dell Venue Pro is so damn cheap, it will be a wise choice after all. But you could also have a look at the HTC 7 Pro...not much more expensive and better keyboard wise I'd assume...I mean coming from a great keayboard device like the MS2 you'd probably moan about Dell Venue Pros little keys...they suck

I think I'll go for an Omnia 7.
Seems like the type of class the DVP should have been but without the keyboard.
Any thoughts?
The Omnia 7 is my first choice but sadly it is not available for any reasonable price in the U.S. AT&T is not an option for me so the Focus is out of the question. It looks as though I will be picking up an HD7 today. I won't be able to wait until CES for the Venue Pro as that might put me in an infinite loop of waiting on a better device to come along.
I've already paid someone actual cash to bring me the DVP to the UK so I have no choice but to wait. Otherwise I would have ordered the Omnia 7 already, it's probably the best WP7 out there today.
probably the 7 pro
i need a keyboard
Super expensive, but that's the price you'll probably have to pay to be an early adopter. Featured on ebay daily deals today so it should be legit.

There are cheaper ones you can find on eBay that are under $700
.....the ones below 700 are usually from HKong last time I checked.

What's wrong with the ones from HK?
As opposed to this one, which is from "default,default" ;-)
Thanks for the heads up, though. I DO want one of these things bad...

from the item description: "For International Buyers: Item will not be shipped outside India"
shame, would have been a good price otherwise!
now another Indian ebayer sells it for $582.27 - no international shipping though!
Anybody made the transition from a Dell Streak to a Samsung Galaxy Note yet? If so, how did you get on?
I've been thinking that if Dell ever stop selling the Streak, this might be my replacement ...
I think there's no doubt that every Streak owners will/should shift to the Note which is far superior in every aspects to the Streak. At the time being, only its expensive price is holding most of us to make the switch.

I have bought two Notes, but still using my Streak....Reason being that I sold one, and the one that I kept had DEAD Pixels...so sending it back to the seller to get a replacement....hopefully will get it in less than two weeks.....
It's a great phone...however, it seems to have some issues with the screens....many owners on XDA reported some bad screen qualities and dead pixels....
It also has a problem playing videos with Dark/Black scenes...where the Blacks look Blocky.....
That's all I can say for now until I get my replacement

i haven't had a single issue with dark/black screens or blocky
blocky video playback issue is usually associated with encoding issue or decoding
I've had some terrible issues with one of the top gear vids in 720p high profile and that's the only vid where blocky scene will come up where the encoding issue exists

It is the only reason I would dump my Dell Streak. . . I love the reviews and the specs on the Galaxy Note, But. . . . the price tag is too rich for this po' boy
I'm going to buy one after christmas with my christmas money, I've had my streak a year on new years eve, and always updrade once a year. This phone looks like a very welcome step up from the streak in practically every area. The only downside I find is the note doesn't look quite as slick as the streak with its curved edges. But build quality has to be a million times better on the note. I've replaced my screen 4 times on my streak, which is really bad imo. Seeing as I've never once broke a phone screen in my life till I got the streak.

So I should dump a perfectly good working tablet and shell out $700 for and extra .3" and a slightly faster processor?
If I had no device at all the Note would be a good choice but what exactly does it give me over the Streak that's worth seven hundred bucks?

Check out the US version of the Note - the 4 buttons at the bottom are definitely great!

Ah!...yes...back in a bit...
Howdy,
What is the consensus on the re-sale value (USD) of a dell streak 5 considering:
Its in perfect physical and working condition.
It is unlocked.
Including original accesories, box, and commuter case.
Coming from a non-smoking household ( )
I searched craigslist and amazon; and it looks like average price is $495+. On other site I even see it for 700+ Considering I will be using all the proceeds for a Note (most likely intl v. given all the state side let down) should I be solid on 495+ until I find a buyer or accept lower offers like 390ish.
Its obv up to me but the resale value of the streak if prob going to plunge once the commoners catch on to the upcoming Note. That aside I really love the Streak, its actually difficult to sell it. And they love makes you stupid.
TIA for weighing in.
BTW I paid less than 300 for the device. That matters.

The note has already been released... I doubt many will be trading in their Streak for the LTE version. It will be a downgrade....

check ebay again.
and you paid 199$ to buy it from dell. everyone knows that.
you'll be lucky to get $250 on eBay, and less probably on Craigslist, unless you get lucky. I hope you get as much as you state, but I'd prepare myself (if I were you) for more in the range of $200.
Hello everybody,
Recently i have been looking at a load of tablets as I am interested in buying one soon. Now I al interested in the iPad 2, the Sony tablet s and the Asus transformer + WiFi.
I want to have a tablet to watch movies, play games, read books and make notes. And I just like the look and specs of this tablet as far as I could have seen and read.
I would like to know from you guys if there are things you dislike about the device or totally love. I have used the Sony tablet s and the ipad 2 but can't get my hands on this device. So Any feedback from you guys is welcome.
Regards

I love it. But only thing that i dislike is the Frame around the glass. It makes some sound if you "bend" it and stuff.. But nothing else to complain and the Prize $ is just great..
Also one problem is light bleed that i only have in 1 corner and its small and i really cant see it but in dark and when im watching movie but i doesnt bother me anymore at all : P
And eaven tf101 only has 2 cores its amazing fast afted ICS : P
-This is just My opinion.....
I bought myself a Transformer Prime for Christmas. Returned it after the GPS and wifi problems, bought a Lenovo K1 at a deal. It was slow and buggy and Lenovo's arrogance was overwhelming, with support totally lacking, so I returned it. I bought a barely used mint Transformer TF101 32GB with keyboard, locally for $325. It has no light bleed or any other problems and I love it!
The Prime was my biggest disappointment. But the original Transformer has restored my faith in Asus!
Wow.. my story is pretty much exactly the same as thomslik's.. except I payed $350.. grrr..
Anyway, I'm loving my TF101 and, for me, the ICS update has been problem free.
I would NOT recommend getting the iPad 2, it's much more limited than Android tablets.. especially with the keyboard dock on the Transformer.
The transformer is great not a problem out of it. I was gonna get the ipad 3rd generation but I don't want a big ipod that's all it is.
I like it. Good screen and fast. I wouldn't pay more then 300 for it at this point tho.
Best device i have ever brought myself so far i have a tiny bit of light bleed but everything else is perfect.
Its fast and does all the things you want to use it for also very very customisable i use a custom launcher themes apps system and kernel all to my preference

It still sells just about everywhere for 399 brand new. Why do you feel the price isn't justified now? Any reason besides having been out for a while? I think for what it offers compared to other tabs it has held its value quite well.

Because it will become outdated pretty soon. It's almost at the end of the one year cycle.
If anyone, living in the USA, buys a TF101 for $399 at this point, they have some terrible shopping skills. Refurbs are at $300 or lower. Even brand new 16GB ones are around $350.
I got mine "Used - Like new" from Amazon for like $240 a couple months ago.

I bought mine on the 17th from Fry's as they price matched an online site that was selling it for $349 w/ free shipping. I will say this site (bhphotovideo.com) was the only site I could find that was that cheap and not a refurb. Every other one I found short of eBay, who I refuse to use, was right around $399.
And not to split hairs but to that point, $350>$300 which is what I was originally quoting. My point is old or not, if the product still currently sits well compared to what's out now, I think it's worth it.
I'm just trying to determine whether to hold onto mine at this point but that's for another discussion...

So you paid $350 + tax, which is around $380.
Not worth it in my opinion. You probably don't realize it now because you just got it and it feels new to you.

Yeah. My only other option it seemed right now was either a Galaxy Tab or iPad 2 and the latter option is really not a consideration, but it was within the price range.
I'm digging the unit but as you said, it's all new to me. I'd love to see something solid on the near horizon as it might convince me to return this and wait but so far it's all just rumors and speculation.
Acer's quad core tablet is on presale for $449.99
In 2-3 months you will see 7 inch quad cores for $250.
Android 5.0 coming out in Fall.
So it depends on how badly you want a tablet right now.
Thanks everybody, I just ordered the 101 version without 3g, it is 400 euro in holland. But for the same price you get the ipad 2 or the Sony tablet. So I think its worth the price.

the iPad 2 is really nice but with the transformer you can install roms like nintendo 64, ps2, etc and play for hours on end. the whole stretch thing is pretty retarded with the iPad 2 and after a while really annoying.
I love both but if I could only have one it'd definitely be the transformer.

Thought I would share for anyone looking to spend as little as possible, not a bad tablet for the price.
