i'm hacked off with windows mobile so probably going to sell the HD
has anyone looked at selling theirs to buy a iphone?
i'm after a 16gb model
anyone know if i'll be able to get enough for a mint HD to buy a new iphone?
i'm sure others have looked into this before
i'm in the uk if that makes any difference
Considering how long ago the HD was launched I can't imagine that it will sell for top dollar.
the highest offer i got on my HD that i recently put on ebay was 475 plus 20 shipping. I relisted because i want at least 500 for it.
I sold mine is feb for $690 on ebay and bought an iphone. You will get enough for an iphone for sure (at contract price).
Will buy the new iPhone 3GS regardless of whether I get good price for my HD or not. Will also keep my iPhone 3G 16GB for my family. Everyone of them wants me to pass to them.
cheers guys
Its about 1 month old as i had it replaced, and is in mint condition
its not however unused, but you cant notice that it has been
Will the prices of a pay as u go iphone (non S) drop when the S is released
How long will i have to wait?
Currently i think i can get a 16gb model for £340
so i'm hoping i can get that for my HD
cheers
You shouldn't have a problem selling it for at least £350... I was monitoring the HTC HD up till 2 weeks ago (I got mine last week, finally got it under contract from O2) coz I was thinking of getting one without contract..
All the phones were going for above £300, even the ones where it's been 'used' for a week or a month...
Might be selling mine on ebay after I get the TP2 with Tmob USA!
why dude whyyyyyyyyyy?
put a dutty or miri rom on and you're golden.
Good luck with your fruit.
Have you tried ebay?
Off topic. Hey homer that is a beautiful American Pitbull you have looks alot like mine but mine but with less white, to bad idiots and the media give them such a bad rep.

well ... OS3 sound great ... at least IPhoners now get "copy & paste" and some other nice features
and about the "S" ... hm ... we'll see
but always remember ... it's all about Marketing and those guys and gals over at Apple now that job
good luck anyway
i've no doubt the hd is better in terms of specs etc
however, i want something that is quick to use, and doesn't give you rsi as you need to put a fair bit of pressure on the screen
who knows, i maybe back in a month!!!
You wont be back in a month trust me you wont be back to the HD at all.

lol, I've used the iPhone 3G for some months and now I'm back to the Touch HD and probably won't get an iPhone again (at least I definitely won't get the 3GS, I'm waiting for the Samsung i8000 or the Acer F1).
The iPhone is still way too limited. At least it's got copy&paste and voice control now but the camera still sucks, it still can't download things from the internet, the display resolution is still bad and lots of other things that were disturbing me.
Unlike the iPhone, my Touch HD does everything I want (except for good pictures in low light) and there's no situation where it lets me down because Windows Mobile is limitless.

Hey guys,
I bought a Nexus 4 today and I have a bad feeling that it's a used device.
I'm looking for a way to know whether it has been activated in the past.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you buy it from the Google Play Store? Or was it a Craigslist/eBay find?

Neither, I bought it from a local unofficial retail store (in Israel).
They did promise that the Nexus 4 is brand new, bu it only came with a regular non-wireless recharger (so much for promises).
Other than that, nothing but a strong gut feeling that this device was used for a while and was then cleaned and formatted.

they only come with a wired charger(usb cable and wall charger).
Take it out into the sun. If it has about ten thousand micro scratches on the screen, then its been used for a week or two. If not, they could have used a screen protector I guess. . . . .

Nexus 4 doesn't appear as a Mass Storage device, so no recovery tool can detect it.
Try verifying your IMIE number with this site http://sndeep.info/en. It gives you the age of the device based on manufacturing date. Although it might not tell you if the device was used on not, it can still give you peace of mind if its a newly manufactured device

That was an excellent idea - it says it's 2 month old.
What do you say...? Given that it was the last in their inventory and the shipping from Korea to Israel...?

Was there tape on still sealed on the box? And were you expecting it to come with the wireless charger?? That's a separately purchased accessory. Its supposed to come with the wired charger.

You could still dump the partition on the phone and look at the dump on a pc. There is a tutorial for doing that here on xda meant for galaxy nexus, but it worked for N4 when I tried.

Well, I would say that if its just two months old, then it doesn't matter even if its slightly used given:
1) You dont see any dents, scratches e.t.c
2) No water damges on screen(if the colors are not distorted on some parts of screen)
3) Microphone, Speakers sound ok.
Atleast you are confident that you have 10(Out of 12) months of Google warranty on this phone, if we calculate it from date of manufacturing.

I have noticed that Expansys now have it as 'ordered on request', the price seems a little steep and I am not sure if it is worth the premium over the 3G model. Would be interested in your opinions and if anyone can confirm if it has actually been launched anywhere?

Right....might have to just order one - was waiting for the "Black Brown" colour scheme, but I just can't wait any longer after bricking my Galaxt 7.7" late last year...
Give us the heads up once you have got it and tell us how it is going...are you on Telstra? [Keen to see what the 4g is like if you are]
Also keen to hear which ROM it is using ?

Unless I activate my spare Boost SIM I'm on Kogan. I really only got the 4G as the price was so good it seemed sill not to.
Will report on it in comparison to my Nexus 7. I really want full voice calling/sms capability on a tablet and stop carrying two devices, two SIMS two plans etc.
I bricked my Note N7000 last week - tried to install Swapper 2. Wasn't until after it died I search for Swapper 2 problems that I saw how risky this app was
It's in for a quote to repair (unbrick) now.... I'm hoping if the Note 8.0 is good enough I can sell the Note N7000 and Nexus 7 and have one device... and one that's better for browsing than the Nexus is. We'll see how that all pans out.
Cheers
Aspi914, just saw the pic of the brown one. It's a bit Ubuntu or even XDA website colours

Here you go (let me know if the link doesn't work):
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAAAAw_k/VNFL65TYrv8/w549-h878-no/2013+-+1
Delivery was good.
Ordered 23/5
Released in Hong Kong 24/5 (Fri)
Shipped Mon 27/5
730am 30/5 arrived at my door (western Sydney)
Box was completely sealed.
First impressions:
It's a much better form factor than the Nexus 7. Reading books is no issue, but e-magazines and websites really benefit from the 8" screen. Bezel is bigger than the Nexus so it is easier to hold only the device not the screen as well. Great for reading and swiping to next page.
Not sure what "reading mode" does (yet), but I've locked it in portrait mode for Kindle and Web browsing. Will try landscape as the added width of landscape did work well on the Nexus for some sites.
I use Nova Launcher, but didn't have any issue with TouchWiz - except I'd have to set up all my icons again, so moved my Nexus Nova backup file across and restored once I'd restored all my apps and voila' same home screen
3G "seems" faster than my Galaxy Note N7000 as if the radio antenna is bigger giving a better connect. However it's totally subjective.
Haven't tried voice or 4G yet. (Using Kogan so only have 3G).
Speed is about the same, technically it's faster but for email and browsing you can't tell.
Speakers are on the bottom and work well. Sound for music and games is quite audible
I got used to the Nexus no physical home button, and don't like the Note 8.0's physical button. It feels flimsy (even though my Note N7000 had the same thing).
Screen is very crisp and clear even if not an IPS or better screen.
Waiting on a case from eBay before I venture out with bluetooth headset as a phone.
Can't talk about lag yet as I'm still downloading music, and updates and customising so I need to allow the device to "settle" before I decide if there's any lag.
I've rooted with framaroot which has lost OTA updates (I did one first).
I haven't yet put clockwork mod or TWRP recovery - waiting for more work by the devs on the 5120 before I play too much
Overall I'm happy with the purchase (i.e. grey import) and the device.
Cheers Russ

Thank you Russ. Hong Kong ROM, and have checked all the specs re: 4G LTE compatibility with Telstra - All good there so just about to put the order in.
I see SamMobile has an Australian ROM listed already, so may even flash that when it arrives.
Thank you once again.

I wouldn't worry about flashing the AUS ROM, for some reason it takes out the option to customise the Lock Screen Apps.
ie: they took the option out completely.
Other than a couple of Channel 7 Apps, there was nothing better about popping on the local ( or NZ ROM, as I tried both ) so I just flashed straight back to the HK Rom so I could customise my Lock Screen Apps.
4G works a treat on Telstra and Optus, am interested to see what happens when sad old Vodafone turn their 4G on.
Though what I don't like is the trendy Book Cover, as if you slightly move it it thinks you're opening it and turns the screen on, which is annoying in a bag. Silly Samsung Accessories.
Using it as an actual phone is hilarious, though I have a headset for phone calls. It's fun writing txts on.

Just got mine delievered last night but have to send it back for exchnage.....
There is a defect in the screen that I believe is the same "oil mark" concern they had with the 10.1's
Just got my 5120 im on att but can only seem to get h+ no 4glte. Cant seem to get it to work on lte. My note 2 works just fine on lte.
My P6800 (3G, 16GB) is Superbricked or has a dead battery. I fear the former (ran Austrian ICS, did wipe, the symptoms seem to match). If anyone wants it for spare parts, pm me an offer.
Bought from Negri Electronics in November 2012. Samsung USA wants nothing to do with the 7.7, Negri stated they sourced this 7.7 from Hong Kong, so Samsung HK should honor the warranty. But, after phone calls to HK and shipping out to confirmed address, it came back declined.
P6800 is still the best mid-sized tablet on the market, except for service when living outside the purchase country.
Is it branded in any way? I have a Verizon one and I'd like to swap parts for the back so it doesn't say Verizon. Must have the IR blaster port on the side though.

I wasn't aware of them. May be worth a try. If they can fix the P6800 for $50 + shipping, that's cheaper than buying the new Tab 3 8.0 as replacement. Thanks!
If that doesn't work, I'll repost my P6800 here. BTW, it indeed has no IR blaster.
