Sell HP touch pad, buy transformer?

Well, I'm sure I will get some pretty biased responses, but I am looking for a true android device, don't want to spend a ton, so I was thinking of selling my HP touchpad for a transformer!! What do you think? Thoughts? Really want to keep the cost in the 3-350 range...

i have a hp touchpad and also have a transformer. Since purchasing the transformer, i don't use the touchpad (with android) at all and actually gave it to my 5 year old. i have had a few lockups, but nothing too major and never while i'm using it. i'm sure it will get sorted out relatively soon. also i frequently see WTB ads on my local craigslist wanting 16gb touchpads for ~$200 and i also frequently see ads selling transformers with dock for $250-$350. So, if you sell your tp you should be able to get into a transformer for no more than $150 out of pocket if the market where you live is similar to mine.

Galaxy Tab7" 2 - (Update - bought one)

I've been checking out the development for ROMs for the Samsung galaxy tab two recently, looks like there's a lot of work going on over there.
Has anyone here messed with one in person? Or is or anyone here that is gotten rid of their OG galaxy tab to go with the new one? If so what are your opinions and thoughts?
I'm thinking about picking one up at Costco to screw around with it to replace my current one, but I'm not seeing Sbradymobiles mods, and that makes me a sad panda. Lol
I'm needing large icons for my usage in my car, and Sbradymobiles mods make the og tab work pretty good a an in dash device.

Don't waste your money. Get a Nexus 7 instead as the specs are way better. Unless your one of those "sdcard slot or its ****" people. If so, by all means waste your money.
I had this exact dilemma until I/O. Decision made.
Also updates.

Unfortunately the nexus 7 really isn't an option right now. This is an in dash setup in my car.
On my current setup I've got over 18 gigs of music, podcasts, and video.
If a verified method to use external storage and charge at the same time comes around for it, I would probably go with it.

Is the nexus 7 also a phone like the Galaxy Tab original?

Nope.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

I picked one up yesterday at Costco, 90 day return window so I should have plenty of time to see if it meets my needs.
I'll be running the og tab still, but with development falling off so much, and the numerous bugs I've reported (at 240 dpi), I figured I'd give this one a chance.
I ain't leaving!

It has no radio for data, only WiFi... best you could expect in terms of using it as a phone would be to use Skype or something similar!

Getting a xoom

I have a deal to buy a wifi only motorola xoom for 200 is that a good deal or should i go with something else

If you're not one to get in a fit over specs, and want a cheap 10" tablet, it's a decent deal. But if you don't mind the 7" feel, then get the Nexus 7 tablet. I'm waiting to see how Jelly Bean 4.1 feels on my Xoom and I might keep it myself. Are you planning to root the Xoom?

The Xoom is a great device if you can deal with the almost 2 yr old specs. I like to 10" Form Factor with the latest Google updates. They just keep dragging it along for the ride. You cant go wrong with either device.

Go look for the xoom universal root and guide. Did the trick for me, and only takes about 5 minutes.

For $200 it's not a bad deal if it comes with all the accessories.

If you plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom the xoom is a good choice over the nexus 7. Since it just came out and has limited space you would be hard pressed with what you could install on it. With the xoom you don't have to worry about it.
Also what size wifi are you getting?

Well I wouldn't say that, since I haveboth and there's basically the same options plus/minus for both. That said, the Xoomis a pleasure to flash on and we've got great options.

I prefer a larger screen size and would recommend the Xoom over all of the 7" tablets. I am partial to Amazon's access to content with the Kindle Fire, even the Nexus 7 can't really compare. When Amazon makes a 10" tablet, there might be an acceptable Android alternative to the Xoom. As it us all other choices are too locked down, flaky or both to be worth mentioning.
$200 is a great price for a wifi Xoom in perfect condition and some warranty left on it.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I tend to agree with the overall consesus. I use my Xoom mostly as video player, and for my needs, I require immediate access to several 10s of GB of videos. For that reason alone, the Xoom is still y favorite device. As far as the Specs go, I've had mine for a year, and have yet to have it start choking the way my one and half year old phone does.
I think it sounds like a great buy. Let us know what you decide!

A lot depends on what you want it for. I like the 10 inch form factor but I have big hands. I like the Xoom as it has two cameras. Important to me. It has an sdcard slot - also important. The Xoom is well supported by developers and Google up to an including jelly bean. However, the nexus 7 is a great deal for 200.00. So if you don't mind less options on it but faster processor and smaller form factor it would be a great choice. Oh, and less space even on board. But I use the Xoom a lot as a multimedia streamer to my television through HDMI out.

Selling Acer a500.. but for how much?

Im trying to sell my a500 which is rooted and is in great condition. I have a cover for it that has three different settings for standing it up which also covers the screen. There is nothing wrong with the tablet and im not trying to sell it here unless i actually found a buyer but i was wondering what do you guys think would be a good price? Ive had it since january 2012 and its running 4.03. The only reason im selling it is i want to get the asus transformer tf300
Sent from my Iconia A500 using Tapatalk 2

Oddly enough, I was looking to do the same and get the Nexus 7 tab. Just doing a Google shop search on the a500, I see refurbished ones starting at $250. I was thinking of selling mine, just like yours (perfect shape etc), to friends for ~$250.

That sounds pretty reasonable.. thanks

IMHO, getting another Android tablet same size with different brand, I don't see any benefit to it. Have you gone to the store and try the Asus TF300? I went to Bestbuy (store in USA) and tried it out but didn't notice any much different.

I just want to sell it while it still has its value and thats actually a good idea to go to best buy.. did you see any that you liked better than the a500?

Would you BUY a Motorola Nexus phone

After getting burned by moto I was wary of buying another device from them but I got a good deal and a 3year contact moving up to the atrix when it was new, only to get burned even more.
Basically I'll never buy another moto device again and I'm sure most other people here won't either but would you if it was a nexus. To reiterate no I wouldn't.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Just as people are buying LG's Nexus phone (or trying because of small stock), I think people would buy a Motorola Nexus device as well as long as is good

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Hate to be that guy, but I can't take this seriously with a misspelling/typeo in the title of the thread. Please fix it.

I think many people even those who were busted with atrix would happily buy a moto nexus including myself.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
I agree, you don't buy a nexus phone for the manufacturer. You buy it because the support comes directly from Google. As much as I loathe Motorola right now, and wouldn't buy any other phone from them, a nexus device is a whole different ball game.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
NO.

Just because I've been fooled once doesn't mean I'll avoid using their products. I can never find better build quality. I know their software support sucks. But the hardware is really the best. I'm glad to see they still support Droid Bionic which is a 2011 phones. Still schedule to receive JB this year. Atrix HD even is being tested JB 4.2.

No and this should be a poll...

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Well, Motorola's hardware IMO are great, the problem is the lack of software support, so, if the next nexus is a motorola I would definitely buy it :beer:

Exactly. I am not unhappy with the Atrix, I am unhappy with the support.
If support is coming directly from Google, it would be perfect.
The Atrix is an absolute beast and it is a shame that Moto stopped supporting it.

If it is nexus you do not really need to care about the manufacturer...
it is going to be the first to receive updates official / unofficial and i guess running latest software is topmost priority most people on XDA

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
If Motorola made a Nexus and supported it like they did the Xoom, that would be great. The Xoom had vanilla Jelly Bean more than six months ago and it came out just before the Atrix.

They're creating the Motorola X, basically a Nexus without the Nexus branding.

I'm not sure Moto could pull off a true Nexus until they stop making Verizon such a priority (think of why the current Nexus has no LTE and recall the short-lived, but damaging Verizon GNex fiasco) . That being said, I would say the odds of me actually buying anything Moto again are next to none, unless they were to sell it at a substantial loss, only then I would consider it.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
It has to be better than samsung phones or at least with similar hardware and a lower price...

I would by one used a bit after they came out if reviews were good. 1st to get updates nice. Motorola repair center has been good to me. Out of 2 atrixes 1 was repaired under warranty and the other replaced twice under warranty. the fact the needed to be sent in on warranty goes against what I keep hearing about build quality. and I love my Samsung i717 running fully functional 4.1.2.
