Just got some bad news the other day...my family is running into serious financial problems. I will probably have to sell most of my expensive electronics stuff, including my Nexus One
I've started a thread in Marketplace earlier this week, but didn't get much response...I know this is Nexus One forum so most of you probably have one already. But just in case you want another one or your friends need one, I have an AT&T version for sale.
Click this link or the one in my sig. Thanks.
That sucks dude, I hope you get a decent amount of money for the N1.
eBay. The AT&T N1's are going for around $400 still.
Bummer but hope it works out well for you. Try ebay...
Does anybody knows about this store???
http://www.n1wireless.com/
I'm in urgent need to buy a phone since I killed my HD2 and the store I bought it from originally (in the US) seems to be out of stock.
So if anybody knows if it's safe to order from this N1wireless can chip in I'll appreciate it since I'm ordering from outside the US I don't want to get burnt, it won't be easy for me to fight any legal battles from abroad.
Thanks,
Fernando
Never heard of it...
But if you are after parts I can only highly recommend on ebay - ukhitech
Good luck
That ship has sailed...
Now I'm looking for a full phone.
Note to self: If in need of changing jobs I should pick locomotive mechanic over cell phone repair man
Thanks anyway!
Well, after sleeping over it and today a bit calmer I decided not to risk it with that store. I found the reviews page and it looks a bit too dodgy to order from /to the outside of the US.
As somebody pointed in that page the negative ones are very detailed and the positives are very vague (like fakes).
Anyway, I'm still looking for a replacement phone and the more I look the more I want another HD2
I 've been looking at the Galaxy 2s and it looks good but then you see comparison review and it's amazing that an almost 3yr old HD2 can still present decent battle to a dual core.
I was hoping my HD2 would last until next year so I can try the Edge but now it died I need a WiFi hot spot phone before February so I think I can kiss the Edge goodbye...
Sorry I went off topic but I'm in desperate search of my next phone and I've been a HTC fanboy for a couple of generations and now there are no HTC in the market that fit my needs. Why they did stop selling the HD2???? (darn!)
well depending on how much you are willing to pay, you could try amazon, hd2 starting from 200$!
just checked swappa.com no hd2s there either..
Thanks Jim but the one I need is the T9193 that has the 850Mhz in the 3G band and as far as I could find in amazon or ebay or prettymuch anywhere the want over $700 for them. The ones at the $200 price range seem to be the Tmo bands that they won't work down here in 3G.
I gave up looking for it. now it's a matter of spending $600 on a new phone (either the HTC vivid or Galaxy skyrocket) and learn to fall in love with it or try to get a cheapo with wifi hotspot and survive until the HTC Edge comes out...
After drooling over the Note via virtually by watching a ton of youtube videos as well as reading up on everything about it I could find, I finally was ready to buy it (after had borrowing the money to get it). I knew I wanted the GT-N7000 version over the US AT&T model, mainly because of the better processor and I really like that Video Maker app, as well as a bunch of other things. I ordered my International Note through Amazon, with Prime Shipping! I placed the order for it last Wednesday afternoon, but it was not scheduled to arrive until Today, Monday. Woke up early, just to make sure I was handed the package and it wasn't thrown to my front door, ... I immediately felt something was wrong when I saw the box. It was in a longer than needed rectangular box, with both sides pushed in, to where you could actually reach in and pull the phone out of the box.
When I opened the box, too look at what was in there, first thing I noticed was that the phone box was not plastic wrapped, second thing, the AT&T logo on the box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't really upset as I should of been, but the feeling of waiting over the weekend for Monday to come started back up again, as I knew I was going to have to return this phone, and wait for it to go through the process of mailing it back, waiting for the refund to go through, then reordering it from someone else, and waiting for it to arrive again.
The dealer I bought it from was MasterDeals Inc on Amazon. I will definitely not be buying anything from them in the future.
What a huge letdown this was, after having that NOTE FEVER for several weeks, then for it to end this way was a big disappointment. I hope the next one that gets shipped to me is the correct model.
I got to hold it for but a brief instance, my baby and I will meet again soon.
Sorry to hear that, it should all get sorted out as the product you purchased was a N-7000 and not the ATT Note.
Man that really sucks I am planning on ordering another note from amazon for my wife and I want to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I just noticed the reseller who is selling through Amazon that I was planning on buying through has two different pictures one for att and one for international ill have to be careful. Good luck on your return I hope they get you all sorted quickly it really is an amazing device.

When ordering online they don't specify which version it is? I'm sorry to hear that ... regardless, I'm sure it'll get straightened out.
UPDATE: 4/6/12
After what happened, which I posted above, I am glad to say I am now a VERY HAPPY GT-N7000 Note owner.
How it happened.
After opening the package which I had received on Monday 4/2/12, I immediately packaged it back up and sent it back, due to the fact that the seller had sent me the AT&T model, which I did not order.
Amazon's customer service emailed me the pre-paid UPS postage to include on the box, and I went to the nearest UPS drop off location and sent it. This was about 3:45 pm.
On Wednesday, at 12:00 PM, I had received a email from Amazon saying they had received the return, and were processing it and would email me back once the refund was submitted. That evening around 6:00 pm, I had received the email saying the amount I spent on the phone, $609.99, was being refunded back to the card I had used for the purchase. That was good enough for me.
3 Hours later or so, I reordered the Note from Yapper Wireless on Amazon. This was after receiving response emails from them that they were in fact selling the GT-N7000 model, so I placed the order around 9:00 pm that night.
Since I am a Amazon Prime member, I only had to pay $3.99 to have my order sent via 1 day shipping, which I did, as I wanted it before the weekend.
Thankfully, it did arrive this morning, Friday, at 11:00 am. Keeping my fingers crossed, I opened the box, and immediately seen that it was in fact the GT-N7000 WHITE model.
The phone box was not plastic wrapped, and after looking in the box, I noticed why, the seller took out the international plug adapter, and replaced it with the US Samsung one, which I was happy about.
Next I installed a screen protector, which I am not sure I will keep on, then installed my 32GB Samsung Class 10 Micro SD card, and installed my Straight Talk sim card. Followed the instructions on the Straight Talk website, activated the sim, picked the $45 a month Unlimited plan, and entered the APN settings that can be found on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487293 Thanks to Hirudin for posting it.
I first tried a call, Worked.
Text message, Worked.
Took a pic and sent it (MMS), Worked.
Again, I was VERY HAPPY! It's feels good to have unlimited minutes again, after being SO limited as I was with my 300 minutes a month $35 Virgin Mobile plan.
Next step, downloaded Speed Test to test the network.
Turned off WiFi (of course), Began Test.
I noticed in the status bar, It was going from 3G to H+, but then stayed on H+, this test was taking inside my house.
Results:
3.1 MBPS Down
1.2 MBPS Up
I am located in Fremont, CA .. the Bay Area.
I again, VERY HAPPY with these speeds, I would be lucky to get 100 KBPS Down with Virgin Mobile, which of course runs off of Sprints network.
I then went to the Google Play store on my computer, signed in with the email associated with my phone, and went to Devices under account settings, I was once again VERY HAPPY to see that it shows my carrier as AT&T!
The phone is on the charger now, I haven't really got into it yet, but I can say that this is definitely the BEST phone I have ever owned, and yes I did once own and use the iPhone 4. I am so excited to FINALLY have my very own Note, and I can't wait to start using it and customizing it to my liking. I look forward to May 22, when Samsung announces the S III, and hopefully whatever specs this new phones has, hardware wise, will make it into the Note 2. Quad Core/2GB Ram/12-16 Megapixel Camera/etc. I just hope the Note 2 at least keeps the same size screen, if not go slightly bigger!
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share my experience with everyone, and yes, the Note/Straight Talk combination works flawlessly! Highly recommended if you don't like spending $100+ on your phone bill.
Long Live the Note/Hail to the King Baby!
Gotta love those happy endings.
And don't worry about the phone being on 3G, mine does the same. It switches to H+ when it starts pulling data, and goes back to 3G when it's finished; i think it's a power saving measure.
Wow from disaster to awesome, all sorted within the week. Sounds like you and amazon worked really fast to fix the problem. Congrats on getting the right note and I could almost feel your optimism while reading through lol!
Too many times ppl get hung up on bad mouthing a company due to a problem and take ages to get it fixed. You on the other hand named and shamed vowing never to buy from again (same thing I would do) and then got on with getting your phone
There really is no going back to a smaller device for ppl who use their phone other than calls. Loved my Dell Streak for year and a half and now I love my note. 5" is the future.
Enjoy your device buddy wd.

Yeah, I am glad it all worked out in the end. I know what you mean about not going back to a smaller device, I don't think I could do it, or at least I know I wouldn't want to.
Actually it bounces back from H+ to 3G as soon as your phone is idle for a couple of seconds or your throughput is below a certain threshold. This is controlled by the network and not your phone. The wireless medium is shared between many users, this is done to free up the limited resources for the users actually needing H+ and throw back everyone who doesn't need it to 3G.

(Yeah its lame but it was 1st thing came in toy head when I saw the title of the post)
Ordered the cradle the batteries but not the device yet. Just sold the ATT version I burned an upgrade for. I should have known better then to order a Carrier branded device especially when we won't have LTE here for over a year and I only use 800MB data in my best month. But I wanted to switch to the shared plan anyway to get the UL messaging and talk. Needed one "smart phone" and the wife is using an i9100, so my Note is the smart phone.
Problem is I am always jumping in too soon paying top dollar with little development ready and getting early versions of phones that have little issues fixed in subsequent runs. I would not mind that so much if people were selling them used at reasonable prices. But the Used prices are in all cases within a few dollars of new. I don't know about many here but I would expect at least a 15% discount to new to make it worth my while to take a chance on someone's device. I sold my brand new ATT Note for $475 shipped. Good Deal for the buyer. I will probably wait until he receives it and has no issues.
Been looking at Negri as their prices seem to be the best right now at $615. Have an alert with New Egg for their $589 price they had awhile. $550 is the magic number used this month. Waiting is the rough part. Maybe I will play with the accessories awhile LOL
The onle good thing is My Note 1 has the latest leak and development is continuing full steam ahead while I sit on the sidelines and prices will drop as the Nexus 4 becomes available and the S4 mockup Leaks gain steam.
So waiting sucks but is a good thing as well....Who else is waiting for one of these? Anyone deal with Negri?
I'm waiting also. I was looking at the Ebay store when they had their deal of the day for 589.00 and kept refreshing the page watching units sold trying to decide if I was going to pull the trigger or not - and then it was sold out. Picked up a Nexus 4 to hold me over until a sale comes up - I keep checking everywhere everyday. I'm looking forward to the larger screen and increased battery life.

My Majic number for November is $589. In December I will look for $550 or below. i i have not found a device by then. Used devices should be showing up as well at good prices.
The ATT version was just enough to wet my appetite for the Note 2. I already have the ROM it has but the note 2 is much smoother and has more memory. It's a good upgrade. (although the latest S4 may mean the Note 3 will have the perfect screen for pocket carrying and a tablet...a nice 6" screen. I cannot carry a 7" Tablet around. but a 6" Phone with limited bezel areas would be VERY nice.
Well I picked up my Edge today. For reference it's the CDMA variant (Au) , not the WCDMA version (docomo). To my complete surprise, for pre ordering the store actually gave me a free Samsung Flip Wallet that normally costs over ¥6000, AND I got ¥5000 worth of store credit (points). Paying in one installment (¥92000) brought the total points to about ¥14,200, plus the case means almost ¥20,000 of "freebies".
Anyway the phone is very very nice. I bought a white Korean Note 4 a few weeks ago and absolutely despised it. The build quality in particular. The Edge is much better, perhaps because the screen slides off, and because it doesn't have that hideous double tapered silver stripe on the frame. I'd been using a Galaxy Alpha for about two months as well and despite my liking the size factor of the Alpha, the Edge really is fantastic.
I'm a bit annoyed by two things however:
1. All notifications appear on the side display. This is particularly annoying when you're trying to type or click something that is covered up by the panel. For example you get a notification and the panel turns on and actually layers itself on top of the content underneath. It's not as if the keyboard or whatnot will resize.
2. The side display will remain blank if you're using an application, and that makes it seem a bit as if the screen isn't being used completely.
Anyway I would be happy to answer any questions people might have. For reference if anyone is thinking about importing one, MAKE SURE it is there docomo version as Au will NOT unlock any devices. Furthermore if you do get the docomo version make sure the seller has unlocked it, as there is a ¥3000+ fee to do so; it's not unlocked by default. Finally make sure the seller has paid for the device in FULL as Japan has ESN slates as well these days and if they paid in installments (resulting in ¥0 upfront cost) and don't pay the bill, you may wind up with a locked device.
I have attached a pic of the box, in comparison to the (Korean) Alpha box.
Sorry for the horrible quality. The forms don't let you upload larger file sizes...
wow congrats congrats are u the first consumer to own it? hahahaha.
how much total did you spend?
ok you mentioned you have a note 4 as well, did you compare the screens side to side? what can you say?
does it come with the scrolling animation that seems to "race" to the edge screen?
spen works as good as in the note 4?
last question: how many stocks left? lol
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------
oh and i forgot, is the gear vr released there too? can you confirm if it doesnt fit at all or not compatible?
Hello. I was the first person at the store to buy it, but there were at least two others filling out contract paperwork to get one so definitely not the only person.
For reference the Note 4 is *NOT* being released here, ONLY the Edge. This is quite bizarre, as every previous Note was released, and given that Samsung itself allegedly can't make more than 1 million of these units before the end of the year, I don't know why it deemed this a good decision (supply issues). Then again it's possible that either not many Japanese buy phablets, or it wants to guarantee the full production run sells out.
Anyway I spent ¥92,880. This is roughly $900US. In Japan there are only two options for purchasing a phone: either pay in full (no carrier subsidiary) or pay 0 upfront and have a monthly installment. A discount of about ¥2000 is applied to the contract each month for two years either way, and in this fashion the carriers claim the price is actually lower than the full retail.
Unfortunately I don't have the Note 4 next to me anymore, having sold it a few days ago. When I had the Note 4 however, I did compare it to the Edge working store display model and it looked essentially the same, though obviously a bit smaller.
I'm not sure what scrolling animation you mean, but it does scroll up and down, yes.
As for the stock... The store I went to was one of the larger chain electronics stores in Tokyo and it looked like they only had about 10 units on the shelf. Of course some might have been in the back for pre orders. And this was only Au. Docomo may have had more inventory.
The Gear VR isn't on sale here to my knowledge, and there doesn't seem to be any press material for it either. I don't think it's been released outside Korea.
that is weird to sell the note edge first instead of the note 4 hehe.
anyway, here is the animation i was talking about invisiblesense posted it in another thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1sLZHppKEw
Oh I meant I sold the Note 4 first.
If you're referring to the animation at the beginning of the video, yes it does do that. It actually works better than on the original demo models that were put on display here back in mid September.
Those demo models had one odd point: The "About Phone" option was nowhere to be found on the Settings menu. I tried finding it for several minutes but couldn't.
Everything works rather smoothly now.
great congrats im sure a lot of people like me are jealous haha. even hte note 4 is not released here in saudi
That's great, im in the US still waiting for a date. The $900 price sounds nice tho.
Well $900 is more or less now much all phones cost here these days. So it's actually not much more expensive than the Note 3 was in Japan last year.
I think the FCC certified the Edge this past week so it should probably release within the next few weeks.
Congrats! Which color did they have in the store and which one you selected? Can you post a picture?

I ended up buying Note 4 because I didn't want to wait for ages. Will put N4 on sale as soon as I hear of a release date for UK.

Only the black color released yesterday. The white won't be avaliable until the middle of November.
I guess dege catch more eyes than iphone6, share our experience when you use it and how others reaction.
Does the phone also have a LED notification light? How many apps can you put on the edge panel? Can you add more than one app panel? I would like to place a bunch of my favorite apps on the edge panel. Have you tried any aftermarket keyboards like Swift key?
this is what i interested about the Edge.
can the Edge screen able to stream live stock quotes (not delayed quotes)?
Are shops in Japan selling the Note Edge sim free?

Nothing in Japan is sold SIM free from the carriers. The Au version, which I have, cannot be unlocked. The docomo version can be unlocked by docomo for about $35. It must be done at the store however and thus if you buy one make sure to verify the seller has unlocked it AND paid for it in full or else you risk ESN problems.

Yes it has a notification light to the left of the earpiece. The Edge panel can scroll up and down, so it's not a problem if the list is longer than the space available. Yes I've used SwiftKey, but when activated the Edge panel will actually place itself over the keyboard...
As for the person who asked about stocks. I will check and get back to you.

Thank you!
I hope you don't mind answering some questions I had - apologies if you have already answered any.
1. Now that you've had the phone for a day, what are your thoughts on the Edge screen?
Have you experienced any accidental launching of apps?
2. Since you also had Note 4, does this feel ackward to handle?
3. How is the battery life so far?
4. Is the band around the phone made of metal or plastic?
5. Overall, are you impressed with it?
6. Anything you don't like about the note edge thus far?
Many thanks in advance!
