Hi guys,
I'm sorry to say that after 6 months with the SGS, I've swapped it for the Nexus S. The swap came at a good time, as the change over ended up only costing me $40
I've been here since the start of these threads, and to be honest, I wanted to thank all the keen developers that have made the SGS a better phone, and the experience learned here has certainly made its way to the Nexus S.
Best regards
Cheetah2k
Did you change over with Optus direct? How did it end up costing on 40 bucks?
Sold urs at a good price perhaps.
Take me with you!
traitor!**
I sold my SGS for $500 to a mate at work desperate for one, and had a family friend buy an unlocked Nexus S direct from Best Buy in the US.
My mate charged me a 6 pack of his fav beers for getting it for me when he came home for a holiday in Aus last week
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.

I wish to get a Galaxy s2, i much prefer it to the Note still, not dissing the note, great kit, just lil too big for me.
How much does an unlocked note sell for second hand in mint condition, anyone got any ideas, im in the uk, ive googled it and ive seen prices of like £300, but i find that hard to believe as the phone is £599 in the shop still where i got it from, so im concerned that some of those online prices me be for copies or variants, i know the S2 had copies knocking about for a while.
Any advice appreciated.

I bought a 2nd hand note for my wife for £370, my mate bought a 2nd hand one for the same price off ebay. I've even found it for sale for just £354 plus £10 postage..I bought my tablet off these guys so its legit.
So about £350-380 would seem to be the going rate for selling it as used.

£599??!! You got ripped off, I got mine brand new for £430 a month ago.
Daaaaayum
Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum WTF the only £370 BNIB Unlocked on Ebay, im selling my GS2 to buy one
I would say 300 2nd hand is about right. I just picked one up on contract for a total contract cost of 370 (so that includes 200 mins/unlimited text/100mb data). I reckon within a month or 2 the resale value will be 200-250.
Mobiles just dont hold their value as well any more imo. Example would be my LG Optimus 2x I paid 480 or something new April last year, by November/December you could pick them up new for 200 new, now I'd be lucky to get a 100 2nd hand for it. After that it put me off ever buying another device within the first 6 months of its life cycle.

got a quote off CEX today, £330 in its mint condition, so ill be listing it around that, i guess online you can get anything cheap if you look hard enough, id like to know if all these foreign cheapo Notes are actually N7000`s or if they are actually the variant.
If i wanted a HTC One, yer i can get it cheap online, but it aint the HTC ONE X, its a different cheaper model.
Checked again today, all highstreet re-sellers have the Note listed at £500+.
HELP me guys, today i checked galaxy s3 in a store here and it was fast as hell compared to Note. i am literally so so worried to sell my note for S3 but the only reason is small hiccups that are there in Note! i am 1000000% satisfied with Note but the only reason i m selling is the small hiccups and thats it!
well, i just wanted to know what is the selling price of used Note in your country? i bought my 16Gb White Note on 24th March 2012 for US $605 or UK 392 Pounds, or Euros 456.
now this store here is ready take my Note for $ 410 or UK 266 Pounds or Euros 309.
what do u say is this price ok for my 2 months used Note? i know this is not a fair deal to sell Note, but Hell yes i will come back to Note 2 if it has Exynos 5250!
but for now i am selling my note. is this price ok for my 2 months note? pls guys do reply me soon and sincerely! i m really tensed!
thank u all in advance!
If you managed to get $450 then it will be good deal.
But if I were you then I should newer sell my 2 months old note.
.
I bought my Note brand new for $620 on eBay. Seems like to me, $410 is too low especially if it still looks brand new and you have never rooted or anything.

Satisfied with the note.......small hick-ups........ Sell because of them???
Ok, if i'm satisfied with something i don't want to sell it, about the small hick-ups we have to consider that these problems appeared with ICS they will be sorted out.
If you think the S3 is without problems (or hick-ups) think again, there aren't devices without flaws or problems. Take a look at htc's they have a lot of problems and people send them to be repaired and htc is releasing updates to solve the software problems. Samsung isn't that fast but i think there will be a major update sooner or later for the note's problems.
Ok, you want to sell, take up the offer from the store and buy a S3. Better deal you can't get.
And if you are talking about eMMc bug as the "small hiccups" just go to a safe kernel that our wonderful developers have made.

i bought Note for $ 604.751 exactly on March 24! now price has dropped to $497! thats too much man! isn't it??!! i am an ACCA student and i work on part time. i dont earn a lot, i know the price of Note would decrease even more. there are only 4 things that made me think of selling my Note:
1- i really dont know how to draw and i dont use S-pen!
2- The Note after ICS feels even more Slower especially in UI experience!
3- Note's price is falling like rocket and its marked resale value is even lesser!
4- the camera on Note is a bit slow.
pls some one tell me should i give my phone for $ 410???
The note is unique because of the S-pen. You just cannot do things the note can with another phone. If you don't use the pen, then the note is nothing special except for the large screen imho.

Don't be so dam impulsive. List your phone on Ebay or Amazon as mint condition. You can get 500 to 575 easy.
Once people start low balling the value of the note then everyone else gets screwed when we have to sell ours

Who cares if the price drops? I plan on keeping the Note a while. I have a bad habit of buying phones a lot and I spend way too much money. I had an Atrix and it's still considered somewhat new and still good and I bought a Note.
You have to remember there is always going to be something better. Technology is rapidly expanding. Go again, buy a s3. But, realize this, more than likely, you WILL lose money. Its just part of the business.
If you don't like ICS, go back to Gingerbread. Or go to a CM9 ROM. I have no problem with the Camera on the Note. I use stock Camera on CM9 and Camera Zoom FX and it's fine.

No, not AOSP. I'm talking about CM9. Look at Asylum or ParanoidAndroid.

let me just say this ,samsung really screwed up the software side of things on the note ,if you want to compare then go and check an S2 ,you'll find it's also a lot faster than the note.
when I first got my note I hated it for this reason (previous S2 owner) ,then CM9 arrived ,oh boy was I in for a shock !! the phone seems to have gotten a hardware boost with it installed.
you don't care about the spen and even if you do ,you can find alternatives in the market like (free note) ,just install CM9 and feel the difference yourself ,all these small hiccups will be gone for good.
just make sure you read the instructions carefully and roll back to GB first via PC ODIN ,or else you could brick your shiny new phone.
also ,yes 420$ is **** low for a new phone , you remind me of the (sorry but has to be said for your own good) idiot who sold me his note for a similar price .
just read the instructions carefully and roll back to GB via pc odin then install cm9 ,and thank me later for saving you 400$ .

again ,install cm9 and you'll be wondering if it's the same phone in your hands.
I'd avoid ebay, they'll rob the life out of you.
im sure they take about 10-15% of the final fee, so if your planning on getting 400-500 or whatever it is for your note, ebay will suck a load of that from you.
if you going to sell it, do it privately, or just be smart and not sell it at all.

What kind of accountancy student are you? Have you never heard of incremental costs?
What will it cost you to change to an S3 v keeping the GNote?
Now what benefit will it bring? Is that worth it? Do a quick CBA. If you are as poor as you say you are, well, buying the S3 won't fix it, will it?
Lastly, buying most any smartphone is an object lesson in DEPRECIATION. If you don't want to suffer it, do not buy any FMCG item.

Exactly. Like I mentioned earlier, you WILL lose money on it if you buy a S3 and sell your Note. It's just fact of life. Just keep the freaking Note and save your money! Go buy something nice for your girlfriend, wife, whatever!
OK guys I wan't to pick up a Nexus 4 here in the UK.
I have the Xperia Z Ultra on order but thats not the kind of device I want to take out with me on a night out on the Sauce
I know the N4 is available on google for £199 now which is a great price.
However is there anywhere I can get cashback or a voucher for a few quid extra off before I buy one?
I would look out for a second hand one in good condition on ebay for about £140-£150 but in some instances people are paying over the google play price for second hand.
Any help, or tips appreciated :good:
It's already ridiculously cheap at £200, you won't find it any cheaper
