Galaxy S3 on ebay - Galaxy S III General

Is this the real deal? On the bottom of the ad it says you have to buy two units, wonder if thats for something else. Real or fake?

Completely fake... the same ad is posted on several "deals" on eBay. Don't trust them at all..

Look at the seller's ratings 2.5k and 98% so you think he's fake? Unless it's a hacked account.
Edit: checked the seller and they are into leathers and other stuff and doesn't have any feedback for the phones so must be a hijacked account.

Yes, it probably is a hacked account. Ratings shouldn't come over common sense. Look in those ratings, the user never even sold a phone before. The account seems way too off.

The sellers reviews look really positive, but I dont know, galaxy s3 unlocked for only $501 seems sketchy. Thanks for the response.

Look at the mail domain @,gmail.com, it is fake.

definitely fake - if it asks anything about sending emails to an email address - its a scam

It's called like Dreambook W7, but it's not dreambook
It has Freescale chipset
Hi, I have just purchased a Dreambook W7 from a ebay store. So far I'm impressed, it has a quality feel like the Samsung pad. It cost 223.99 pounds and takes around a week to ten days to get it. The 3G works well (got a signal in my local Sainsburies and HD2 doesn't) and the touch screen to nice.
I can only say it's as good as the Samsang as still setting it up, got it this morning.

[Q] Xoom knock-off: Too true to be good?

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!
I want one...I love my Xoom but this other thing has the ability to "access various types of flies, whatever the source". Take that Motorola!
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

+1 on sarcasm!
Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.
Wow... Really? I guess there's one in every group. Try this thing called reading before you write. The main purpose of this was to show my buddy I wasn't the only one who saw this as bogus. Thank you however on your insight. We are all definitely a lot better for it!!

He was trolling.
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.

15% off Cowboom site

HOLIDAY15 is the promo code.
Sometimes you can find some good stuff here. Make sure you READ THE ENTIRE description of what your buying also.

I have never personally bought from them; the reviews are good/bad so it's kind of up in the air. I found some nice deals just never at the right time for me to grab one.

Bought a MyTouch 4G off them and the description said "Minor Scratches". It looked like it got ran over by a truck. I would avoid. If you don't care about condition then go ahead. The stuff they ship you does work.
from people experiences mostly from the users at slickdeals had said that deals from cowboom is a hit or miss, sometimes it will come in good condition or not

Samsung seems greedy as heck...

So I swing by the webpage just to see what it's like ....I notice they want you to pay for an app that basically just presents you the webpage.. also you can pay to have them unlock your device.... or you can pay to be a premium member on theyre forum. It just seems to me after I spent 500 dollars on a device [tab] and another 300 on the phone , they might be willing to at least throw in a couple of online extras for free....wishfull thinking I guess...

Um... Samsung doesn't have a forum. You're looking at something third-party.
I tried to find an official Samsung forum after reading this.. There is nothing on the UK Samsung site and Google turns up nothing either, other than XDA, lol!
Are you referring to the Samsung developers forum? As that's the closest I found to an official forum.
I think he has gone to some third part forum or some private samsung forum for developers which requires membership.

With all due respect, Sir - do you really think that Samsung offers you to unlock your device?
Got to go now, today our local police station sells drugs - and right now its happy hour!
No offense intended, but I would also like to know what this site is too.
Was it Sammobile???
I find it rather strange that you had a flyer from them within your Samsung packaging, that sounds odd. I just about had an instruction manual! Which country did you make your purchase in?

This thread's stupid. We're having an esoteric debate with absolutely nothing but OP's disenchantment with something that hasn't even been identified. OP, rather than getting pissed off at people not supporting what you're upset about why don't you scan and post the flyer you received or provide a link to the offensive website? Clearly no one but you has come across whatever you're trying to describe.

I just spent an hour saving my sister's PC from a deadly severe threat virus. That chick will click anything. :silly:
The funny thing was that Microsoft Essentials popped up a warning the virus was trying to take over and she clicked "Ignore" because she thought MS Essentials was the virus. Lol. I mean the warning was scary and red after all.

WARNING!!! Fake vs Real Note 4

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!
Is the bootloader unlocked? Jk.
They make and sell a replica of the note 4' I've seen s couple of really good knockoffs, but they run like sh.t. Your boy got a fake phone

Thank God I got mine from the Verizon store and not Amazon.
Is this even a problem if you have Verizon? Just pop your Verizon SIM into it and it shouldn't activate.

I was kind of wondering why this was posted in the Verizon thread. From the painted back to the locked boot, it seems pretty easy to tell if a Verizon phone is the real deal. With that said, compared to the TMO phone, buyer beware
I prefer the color of the fake's one
