Hey guys,
I have been a XDA lurker for a while. I am looking at getting the P6800. I seemed to have found a site that is offering to import it at a wholesale price. It all seems fishy to me but I figured I would see what all of you had to say...
Ummmmmm
I think that website is 100% authentic. I would jump on it before they are gone!
what is the site?
Exactly my point in my reply...
I have some nice land for sale in Florida .... great deal too...
Sent from my GT-P6810 using Tapatalk
So whats the name of the site? I got mine from one in Hong Kong at a really cheap price
I dunno, this seems a bit fishy. First post to XDA and asking for people to check out a website....Good thing they can't post links yet.

You could be right, it may be an employee looking to get people talking about there products or drum up some bushiness! But they did join in 2009.
But to be fair i very rarely post as I am not as well endowed as many on here (with the skills needed for dev work that is and I don't look forward to being flamed), i have bought my device from HK, quick delivery and having followed the guidance on another forum can confirm its genuine, Samsung accepted it on my product account, tested perfect and everything people ask. The one thing I did note was the description on the package for customs, again reading elsewhere, it may get held up but the owners of the website say there paying import duty, hope this helps.
Haha, sorry guy's being new I was only allowed to post every 5 minutes or something like that. Basically I got distracted...

at 230 bucks for a 3g model is probably too good to be true, this tablet probably costs more than 200 bucks to manufacture alone, so at 230 I doubt it. googling reveals this
http://www.scamadviser.com/is-buyingstore.co.uk-safe.html
Oh, yeah. That's gotta be bull****.
Its so tempting. I have thought about using my credit card so it would be easier to dispute the charges if fake.
It look just enough like amazon not to get sued
did you decide to order from here in the end?
There is a zero percent chance that that is legit. The price is way too low and I'm willing to bet they don't have a good way of contacting them.
It's not worth the risk. If you really want one then look for a more reputable site.
I am still waiting for my income tax return but I have decided that I will be going with a reputable source.
Thank you guy's for your input.
Agree its not worth the risk, thanks for the input.
Really like this device but cant help but hold out to see if the google tab becomes a reality
I may buy one from HK, I need the Calling features, and from HK they're about 600

Hi i want to buy the nexus one off this site http://www.cellplususa.com/ but idk if its creditable site or its a scam. I can't find any info from it and I found the site on craiglist. Have you had experience with this site and do you think I should buy? The phone there is only 450.
couldn't find anything on it at resellersratings.com so not so sure it's a legit site.
Here is my suggestion on this:
Ok, research shows that they have not been in business for long at all (like under a week or so).
For this reason, you won't find any information on them.
Are they reputable? Hard to say, but things that would keep ME from buying from them is that their website has absolutely NO contact information at all.
They also don't tell you if the phone is NEW, Refurbished or used. How they are selling them for so much less is beyond me because, as far as I know, Google is not wholesaling them to ANYONE. The only legit way to get it new is through Google's shop.
Just my $0.02...
Ebay is the way...
Hey Sasha
Buy it from Ebay and to make sure its a good deal - go with sellers using PayPal as the payment method.. And if you are lucky - You can actually make a good deal thru ebay...
Good luck... Its a cool phone - Nexus One kicks ass.. ;-)

Yeah i know its a awesome phone but ebay prices are more expensive than google!
lol "on sale" yeah ok.
DO NOT buy from there.
What does common sense tell you?
Tells me this site is 100% scam. I love the $10 COD option, though, with a same day delivery guarantee. Someone should test it out!
Sure... But..
The chance to find the phone to the same price as on the google-site will probaly not be easy.. Everyone wants to make money - so you can look everywere - You probaly won't find it anywhere to the same price..
You can make good deals on Ebay trust me..
But good luck with your search

Unless they're using the "loophole" someone else posted about to get the phone for $372 then reselling it for $450.

Not enough of a profit margin to make it work TBH, and also, a pain in the but way to get their supply since they will have to get a LOT of people to open and account to get the phone just to cancel.
Either way, I say stay away.

Agreed. $79 is a relatively small price to pay for piece of mind.
If you guys missed this...
There were people in Hong Kong, one of the four countries (wait...Hong Kong is...whatever) got the head start, complaining that when they received their DHL package it was empty inside. So would there be any chance that some people took those phones and sell them damn cheap...?

Not sure about that, but like I said in my original reply, there is NO contact information on the site whatsoever, who would you call if there was an issue?
Also, if those people that had their go missing reported it, Google could Black-List the ESN's and they would be worthless.
SO not worth the risk...
I bought 2 phones from them
Back in Dec. I bought 2 iphones from cellplususa. I didnt have any issues, in fact im using the phone right now.
Hope that helps.

Hi Friends,
Any body tried this website cell2getdotcom. Gnote over there is 620usd plus free shipping and i have found a 25usd coupon as well. When i applied the coupon it was redeemed successfully, but i didnt go on with completing the order. Anybody ever bought anything from them.
I will call them in the morning to find out if they have any retail location. Google customer reviews are good and one customer was referring to a retail location in newyork.
Damn that's a good price. Lowest on Amazon is $699 right now. Tempted to pull trigger on this but still hesitant after returning my first gnote for screen issues. Let us know if you talk to them tomorrow...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
the review is somewhat mixed for the site :x but ppl do get the phone they ordered. some come in perfect, some are locked, some are refurbished etc... so it's a gamble i guess. But since the note is still quiet new now, chance for a refurbished phone is pretty rare i suppose.

Definitely post back, please. I'd do a pickup too. But from their online rep, I'd wouldn't be surprised by bait 'n switch tactics. Most of the "good" comments are obviously manufactured - eg
Nice company to do business with. I don’t do reviews too often but felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences so far these past four purchases. I just want to let everyone know that if you like shopping the old-fashioned way, then this is the way to go, with these folks!

Be careful!
I don't like the website it seems like they have everything.
Be very cautious of NYC based electronics websites. Unless it's a B&H Photo or other recognized business.
PATIENCE is the key. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting awhile.
Prices will go down, Development will be more matured, Many more used devices to chose from. Maybe something new comes out that's better. I have never been an early adopter. I respect those who are and love being the first on the block. I have saved hundreds and had far less headache waiting a while. Just bought the wife's SGS II used for $400 with a lot of accessories chargers and batteries, I bought mine used, Warranty new was not an option in the US anyway, May as well buy from someone who made it work for them.
Probably buy a used Note as well.. in a few months or when I see used prices below $500.
I ordered through cell2get, after reading reviews I was nervous. Online it says nothing about being out of stock but after making the charge and ordering it I received an email thanking me for my order. About 2 hours later i received another email stating they were out of stock. The money is still "pending" and I have not been refunded yet.
Edit: After 5 days my money has been refunded to my account.
"Cell2Get is one of the Nation’s largest cell phone retailers and is generally regarded as offering the best contract-free phone deals on the web"
Orrrrr, they could be a crappy fly by night store in Brooklyn that I've never even heard of (I'm from the area). That quote was from their "about" page. Dishonest on the page, dishonest to the customer's face.
Yep, i was on the verge of placing my order until i read the reviews and changed my mind.
Got it on craigslist factory sealed last week for 670 cash. Probably the cheapest you can find
And don't forget to send the link to the cell2get price to convince the craigslist seller to drop the asking price Works like a charm
Or use that link for anyone who promises price matches.
Anyone has a dvp they dont need anymore? I've been looking to buy one since quite some time.. Asking here coz no one seems to be having it in the market place...
Honestly, i have no idea what this device is worth now, but not looking to spend a lot..
Thanks...
P.S- can take it shipped or personal pick up in new york city..

Dell has dumped their inventory of AT&T DVP on TechSoup org and they are going for $31 each till there gone. They come with the SIM unlock code.
If you know someone who works for a non-profit in the US you can get one through them. Up to 20 can be ordered by each organization.
Sorry, can't post links yet. Just google TechSoup then type in Dell Venue Pro in the search box on their web page.

I have one to sell, but it's a little beat up and has some significant AMOLED dimming. I think I'll take my chances on ebay. Even though you can get a decent 32GB MicroSDHC card for about $15, the a 32GB version of this phone sells for significantly more than a 8GB version.
A little while ago Secondipity's ebay store had 8GB models accepting best offer submissions of $100. That's the best deal I've seen. Even at that price, it took them a couple weeks to sell out. Now prices are higher. They were the T-Mobile version, but as I've read on the forum, it's just the same hardware flashed with different ROMs.
Either way, you may want to hold off buying anything until you hear what Microsoft has to say at the Windows Phone 8 announcement scheduled for June 20th.

Sorry sold my VP to CeX for £114 and bought an S3 the phone was nearing the end of it's life and, if dell were reluctant to fix a small issue with the compass then, I highly doubt they'll send out an upgrade for the discountinued phone. Bye WP7 and I'll only come back when I'm bored of android. Ciao.
I personally bought the DVP from this seller. ACTUALLY, he is like a half mile away from my home! HAHA. If you order from him, I can make sure he sends you a good working DVP. I am actually helping him unlock some other phones he has and removing some demo software on some Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 phones. He has a few DVP that are kinda messed up and 2 or 3 in pretty good condition. check it out. Look at his other auctions.
crap i cant post links. Go to ebay and search this item# 221020643141
i got a nice one, no scratches at all, pretty mint, picked it up in January of this year
$150.
no sub 100$ dvp??
Ended up selling my extra one for about $150. Prices were lower last month when an liquidator was trying to move some stock. Prices may go down again with today's announcement that WP7 handsets will not be updated to WP8.

Thanks a lot in advance
Looks shady to me!
Searched around, could only find one review of the site on Trustpilot which looked like it was written by the owner of the site. No other information anywhere, except an address in Canada on Google Maps (which is probably unrelated).
Indeed, so unless somebody has a good experience so I'm staying away. The price is too good to be true and without paypal guarantee it is risky. Thanks for the reply.

They DMd me here because I'd been looking to review the zero lemon case. Odd way to do it, but they wanted to PayPal me the money for the case, and then have me buy it on Amazon. I don't have PayPal (and it seems like a weird way to do it), so it looks like they are going to send me a Walmart GC instead. Again it seems like an odd way to do it, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.

They paid my order with PayPal. I agree, it seemed super odd to me, but it seems a lot of groups are having to do it this way, due to some new rules from Amazon about using promo codes for review products like other have in the past. At least they paid up front, choetech wanted to pay AFTER the review was submitted, which seemed a bad idea.

Good to know. I am doing a review of the CHOETECH panda charger, and they will pay after as you said. I don't have PayPal so they are going to send me a GC. I'm not too worried about it because they make good products, I've bought numerous CHOETECH products.
I know Amazon cracked down a while ago about companies discounting for reviews, but didn't realize they were cracking down on promo codes as well. In fact, I reviewed a cheotech charger that I got using one of their discount codes.
I guess in the end, if I don't like it and they don't send a gc, I could always just return it to Amazon. I was just worried that if I did have PayPal, they might do a charge back.
Edit: I guess I was just surprised since Zero Lemon was just sending out the products directly. At the same time, if the Amazon review isn't a "verified purchase", it might look shady.

Amazon is trying to cut down on paid reviews / free product reviews, so this is the way many manufacturers are getting around it. Amazon can see if reviews are coming from people who got the product free using a promo code. They can't see if you got reimbursed through Paypal after the fact.

Which is why it's a shame that the Amazon vine program isn't available to more people. I get some. Companies were abusing the samples for reviews, but honest companies want reviews for people to buy stuff. The whole reason I took a chance on CHOETECH products was the great reviews.
