Trade Xbox 360, HDMI for an AT&T Nexus One

Hi guys, I posted this in the marketplace thread, just wanted to post it here as well to make sure everyone sees it. If anyone has a counter offer let me know. Thanks!

hmm good luck. XBOX 360 is like 250$ brand new now... Nexus One is still 550 brand new!

To be honest with you man, I didn't even know google still soldd new nexus ones. But, in my defense a used xbox and a used nexus one go for about the same price on eBay, however I do realize this is a longshot. I have an iPhone 4 I would like to trade with the 360, and would ultimately like to end up with a nexus one and an iPad.

I have a mint condition ATT Nexus One and am definitely interested in selling it... soon. Its lived in an Otter Box defender since it came out. Phone is in new-in-box condition. Its been fastboot unlocked, and I'll even install whatever rom you want before shipping. I have two OEM batteries for it... the dock (tried it once and then realized the headache with the otterbox case, the otterbox case, 4gb micro sd card, a few chargers). Its my second N1 (sold first one locally to someone who knows nothing about how to buy on their own). I bought this one on June 30, and its worked like a charm since.
It gets a compressed air bath weekly and then wiped with a lint free eye glass cloth before going back into the Otterbox (I change batteries weekly too).
I have no interest in an XBOX 360 though. If you like, make me a cash offer and we'll see what kind of ground we can cover.

Well to be honest, I'm not looking to invest anymore cash into a smartphone. I do have an iPhone 4, as stated above, but again, I'm trying to leverage the 360 and iPhone 4 to come up with an android device (nexus one) and an iPad. I'm interested though, let me know what you can/would do.

hmmmm... looking for cash really. if you sell xbox elsewhere, what do you think you could offer?

Xbox and nexus one do not go the same price on ebay. I can still sell my n1 and then buy an xbox with games and hdmi and still have 20 bucks left

How much are you asking for it?

the n1 is worth probably at least $300 more than your used xbox..

Used Xbox ~ $200
Used Nexus (especially AT&T versions) ~ $400+

Point taken. Now I'm trying to get this iPhone 4 off my hands for one. Mods please close this thread.

im looking to offload for an Atrix... so, around march, if you want to buy my perfect ATT N1, send me PM offers, and we can work out a deal.

Plan to buy the transformer

Hello everybody,
Recently i have been looking at a load of tablets as I am interested in buying one soon. Now I al interested in the iPad 2, the Sony tablet s and the Asus transformer + WiFi.
I want to have a tablet to watch movies, play games, read books and make notes. And I just like the look and specs of this tablet as far as I could have seen and read.
I would like to know from you guys if there are things you dislike about the device or totally love. I have used the Sony tablet s and the ipad 2 but can't get my hands on this device. So Any feedback from you guys is welcome.
Regards

I love it. But only thing that i dislike is the Frame around the glass. It makes some sound if you "bend" it and stuff.. But nothing else to complain and the Prize $ is just great..
Also one problem is light bleed that i only have in 1 corner and its small and i really cant see it but in dark and when im watching movie but i doesnt bother me anymore at all : P
And eaven tf101 only has 2 cores its amazing fast afted ICS : P
-This is just My opinion.....

I bought myself a Transformer Prime for Christmas. Returned it after the GPS and wifi problems, bought a Lenovo K1 at a deal. It was slow and buggy and Lenovo's arrogance was overwhelming, with support totally lacking, so I returned it. I bought a barely used mint Transformer TF101 32GB with keyboard, locally for $325. It has no light bleed or any other problems and I love it!
The Prime was my biggest disappointment. But the original Transformer has restored my faith in Asus!

Wow.. my story is pretty much exactly the same as thomslik's.. except I payed $350.. grrr..
Anyway, I'm loving my TF101 and, for me, the ICS update has been problem free.
I would NOT recommend getting the iPad 2, it's much more limited than Android tablets.. especially with the keyboard dock on the Transformer.

The transformer is great not a problem out of it. I was gonna get the ipad 3rd generation but I don't want a big ipod that's all it is.

I like it. Good screen and fast. I wouldn't pay more then 300 for it at this point tho.

Best device i have ever brought myself so far i have a tiny bit of light bleed but everything else is perfect.
Its fast and does all the things you want to use it for also very very customisable i use a custom launcher themes apps system and kernel all to my preference

It still sells just about everywhere for 399 brand new. Why do you feel the price isn't justified now? Any reason besides having been out for a while? I think for what it offers compared to other tabs it has held its value quite well.

Because it will become outdated pretty soon. It's almost at the end of the one year cycle.
If anyone, living in the USA, buys a TF101 for $399 at this point, they have some terrible shopping skills. Refurbs are at $300 or lower. Even brand new 16GB ones are around $350.
I got mine "Used - Like new" from Amazon for like $240 a couple months ago.

I bought mine on the 17th from Fry's as they price matched an online site that was selling it for $349 w/ free shipping. I will say this site (bhphotovideo.com) was the only site I could find that was that cheap and not a refurb. Every other one I found short of eBay, who I refuse to use, was right around $399.
And not to split hairs but to that point, $350>$300 which is what I was originally quoting. My point is old or not, if the product still currently sits well compared to what's out now, I think it's worth it.
I'm just trying to determine whether to hold onto mine at this point but that's for another discussion...

So you paid $350 + tax, which is around $380.
Not worth it in my opinion. You probably don't realize it now because you just got it and it feels new to you.

Yeah. My only other option it seemed right now was either a Galaxy Tab or iPad 2 and the latter option is really not a consideration, but it was within the price range.
I'm digging the unit but as you said, it's all new to me. I'd love to see something solid on the near horizon as it might convince me to return this and wait but so far it's all just rumors and speculation.

Acer's quad core tablet is on presale for $449.99
In 2-3 months you will see 7 inch quad cores for $250.
Android 5.0 coming out in Fall.
So it depends on how badly you want a tablet right now.

Thanks everybody, I just ordered the 101 version without 3g, it is 400 euro in holland. But for the same price you get the ipad 2 or the Sony tablet. So I think its worth the price.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

the iPad 2 is really nice but with the transformer you can install roms like nintendo 64, ps2, etc and play for hours on end. the whole stretch thing is pretty retarded with the iPad 2 and after a while really annoying.
I love both but if I could only have one it'd definitely be the transformer.

Costco Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Not sure if this is common knowledge here, but Costco sells this tab for 240$ with a case. Just figured I'd let y'all know.

Yes, it's been posted a few times. They also offer the tab 2 10.1 with case for 379.99 at selected stores.

Oh okay sorry for the repeat thread.
Mods delete this if you want.

I might be wrong but I think it is more of a pouch than the actual case. Costco has the same offer on the 10.1 for $379.99

It is just a pouch, but it works good for me.

Picked it up to try but looks like I'll be returning..
- No ad hoc WiFi support
- No standard USB port to charge (must use Samsung cable to USB charge)
- Nearly every Gameloft game doesn't support 7"
- A few EA games work but are a bit sluggish
I really like it otherwise and would recommend if the above do not matter, but they are deal breakers for me. I tried a 10" too and find that 7" is mo betta for a mobile device. 10" just too big for me.
Nice thing about Costco is easy to return.

There is a way for ad hoc support. Few forums on that topic. Can use a previous wpa_supplicant file and replace it. Won't get into logistics but the tab needs to be rooted and permissions changed on the file and using Wi-Fi Tether change to a device profile w/SoftAp and you got tethering wirelessly. FYI.
Too bad for proprietary charger and games but extremely mobile.

If you are rooted you can fix two of your four issues and the charger is like that with any tablet you get.

I rooted mine and love it. It works fine tethered to my thunderbolt.

I could see how not having a standard USB port would bother people, but that's nothing new to Samsung. Chances are that when people are doing their research online that they will see that.
I bought mine from BJ's Warehouse last weeek as it was on sale for $229 with the offical leather samsung pouch. (Samsung sells the pouch for $49 but I would not have paid for that as a separate accessory).
The tab was $20 bucks off but I purchased an extended 2 year warranty for $20 which includes accidental coverage. That gives three years total warranty, including the Mfr one year warranty (without accidental coverage).
If you are going to buy form BJ's they only have a 15 day return period for tablets but I have never had any return hassels from them.
I gave my wife my Original Verizon Samsung Tab 7 and I think she is hooked now on it.

Also, that's a great deal you got. I paid full price ($250) from Best Buy with full insurance for a year ($80 (Includes idiocy protection... I mean accident protection), since it will be my main device for basically everything) and feel like I got a little jipped but can definitely live with it since this is a GREAT tablet.

Well, it is not advertised, but the same $239.99 + pouch at all Costco locations. I bought mine there last week, call ahead, alot of stores sold out over the weekend.

Prices in store for Costco are always lower than they are online for their electronics from what I've seen. It could also be related to specials that are running for certain time periods with the coupon booklets they send out.

Well I'm not an expert, but I do travel a bit and end up visiting a few Costco stores. There is no sale or coupon. Some stores have the 7 inch and some stores have the 10 inch, while others have neither. They both come with a sleeve. $239 for the 7 inch and $379.00 for the 10 inch. With the addition of sales tax and not wanting the sleeve anyway, I bought mine online YMMV.

7 inch are 199.00 at Microcenter, picked 2 up yesterday at that price.

Tab 2 7.0 price dropping below $199... new one coming out or in response to Nexus 7?

I noticed some merchants have the Tab 2 7.0 price dropping below $199...
(as shown on Google Shopping search results)
Is this because a new one(Tab 3 7.0) is coming out
or is this in response to Nexus 7? Or both?

Nexus 7. This device just came out, so no way Samsung would throw in the towel and scrap it already.

nevermind... I was wrong... can't seem to find any Tab 2 7.0
being discounted at all... are are still the same price as before.
(at least at the normal reputable retailers)

Question already answered...

Microcenter had them for $199.99 (P3113). I picked one up last Saturday. Now I can't find even one at any location.

Yeah, I picked up this tablet at Microcenter. I was actually very fortunate, because I went to Fry's first and they didn't have it. So I called Microcenter and they happened to be selling it on $199 and they had 180ish in stock. I love the tablet very much and my father seemed as well, so I went and got him another one two weeks later. They only had a few in stock though.
I don't think they are going down in price. Microcenter was the only well-known store I saw selling it on a discount ,and it was only because it's on sale right now Actually the sale seems to have extended another two weeks, but it seems to be selling regular price everywhere else. There are other places under Google>Shopping selling it for cheaper too, but it depends on if you feel comfortable shopping somewhere without much of a reputation...

Microcenter will discount things other retailers won't for short periods of time. Usually you have to be in the right place, at the right time, or be willing to take a chance and drive to one quickly when you here they have a special. Store stock on their web site means little as they can sell 50 in an hour if it hits the net that one store "has stock" of whatever specials they offer.
I like the fact that Tab 2 has an SD slot, but with the ability to use an OTB USB cable with the 7, this becomes less of an issue.
My Tab 2 died yesterday. It will be on it's way back to Samsung for repair. Let's see how this goes...If I had it to do all over again, I would have skipped the Tab 2 for the 7 even if they were the same price.

For folks who live near Expo Electronics in New Jersey.... I bought two from them for $205+tax last week. $5 more than MicroCenter's $199, but I don't have any MicroCenters near me.

Buying a tablet

I know that the lenovo tablet is 1 year old, do you think it's worth to buy now? My main use would be note taking.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

It's worth getting if you can get a good deal on one. Lenovo has lots of refurbs on sale, and there's some good deals on ebay right now. I wouldn't suggest spending over $300 on one though (but that's just me, and I'm kinda cheap).
For note taking, it's probably one of the better tablets for that purpose (at least for notes with stylus/pen). But Windows 8 tablets will be here soon too (one of which will be the ThinkPad Tablet 2).

Thanks for the quick response. Do you mind if you have any links to good deals? Ebay has some refurbs but they're 300+.
Regarding Tablet 2, yes windows would be nice, but I really don't want to spend a lot on a tablet.

I'll PM you some. Mine was a factory sealed Lenovo refurb. The gorilla glass had one small scratch in it (it's a refurb, but I was hoping it would be scratch-free) but was otherwise like-new condition with a refurb sticker on the back.
Me neither, especially that much for something with an Atom processor (even if it is a ThinkPad...). But I'm sure Intel has made great improvements with them over the past couple of years or so.
