I think I'll go for an Omnia 7.
Seems like the type of class the DVP should have been but without the keyboard.
Any thoughts?
The Omnia 7 is my first choice but sadly it is not available for any reasonable price in the U.S. AT&T is not an option for me so the Focus is out of the question. It looks as though I will be picking up an HD7 today. I won't be able to wait until CES for the Venue Pro as that might put me in an infinite loop of waiting on a better device to come along.
I've already paid someone actual cash to bring me the DVP to the UK so I have no choice but to wait. Otherwise I would have ordered the Omnia 7 already, it's probably the best WP7 out there today.
probably the 7 pro
i need a keyboard
Pardon me if I am posting at a wrong place or some awkward question but I need help, please.
I am looking for T-mobile version of HTC HD2, one comes in black box and has red/green button. But I can't find one. There are some in ebay and amazon, but what looks like either the seller are not 100% reliable or maybe the package is not unopened/intact. When I sent those supplier a mail, they told me that they had to open the box to see if all the contents are there or not. Isn't that really funny excuse that a product from T-mobile needed a checking if it is perfect or not? What worrying me is about the 16 GB micro sd card which the seller can replace with a cheap chinese one. So I am looking for 100% intact and sealed, T-mobile carrier locked phone, I will unlock it later myself. Can anyone please tell me where to get one fresh piece and how much it can cost with no contract?
My location is New York, NY-11377.
Why don't you buy straight from amazon, and not a third party seller?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...311200878&sr=8-2&seller=&colid=&condition=new
Cost: $299.99
To get a brand new t-mobile one you would have to get it from a t-mobile store or dealer and buy it out right if you can find one that is still selling them. Your best bet is Craigslist but don't rush, some one honest is bound to post one in your listing. I'm a T-mobile dealer and we might have some brand new in our warehouse. PM me if you are interested.
I'm not sure why the stress to have new unopened hd2. I use to sell on ebay and if you complete your order via paypal you'll be covered if something went wrong. Plus the 16gb that comes with the phone isn't a really good sd card. I would go with a 8gb class 6 or higher. Much better then 16gb class 2. I personally got a hd2 off ebay for $120 & then bought a transcend 8gb class 10 on ebay for $15 so my total cost was only $135. They do have new unopened hd2 on there but you'd really have to keep looking. Plus ask questions to. If they say something in the listing that's not true or if they don't list something and you have a problem with the phone you can always return it. Paypal is very good about that.

Thanks htccraze for your reply, actually I was looking to buy 2 units, one is for my younger brother who is very perfectionist and always look for something fresh and new to explore, actually he gets it interesting. I have gifted him many gadgets and all where fresh, and you can't imagine the happiness I see on his face.
If it was for me only, I could grab the amazon one, as I need this for my regular android dev purposes.
I hope to take a look at nearest T-mobile store in NY.
Newegg has em for $280 unlocked, not sure if it comes with the class 2 16gb sd or not. I recommend upgrading to a much faster card anyways.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2111-Index-_-NoContractPhones-_-75502039-L06D
If I recall correctly, T-mobile has recently got the HD2 in stock, you can check their website. by the way, why is there a date within your question's title?
yeah i can see your point now. since its a gift for someone i would advise to get a new device. if your looking to buy them out right without a upgrade the lowest i've seen them is $269.99 on ebay listed here. it says new and in original packageing but i would still make sure its unopened by asking the seller.
i did see someone said they bought an hd2 with they're upgrade for $50 or something like that which i do see on they're website its available for $360 without the upgrade. also if your due for an upgrade sometime soon you can buy a phone a lot cheaper from places like wirefly.com & letstalk.com over the t-mobile store. they are new devices and come unopened and can save you about $80-$150 by buying them from there over the t-mobile store. i've even hunted down promo codes for phones i bought in the past from both sites and i was able to get a free bluetook from letstalk & i saved $80 off my order on wirefly. if you do go into the store ask them if they can come down on they're price at all because i have seen them do it. they offered me $50 off the price they listed because i said i seen it much cheaper online. just be friendly and maybe you could get a similiar offer.

I will be visiting the T-mobile store, however yesterday I tried online and the HD2 was out of stock.
I put date because the forum guideline mentioned this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915650

Thanks for the great support and idea, I will now hunt for deal. by the way, what upgrade you were talking about? the rom? if it is so, then me and my brother will be running windows phone 7 and android dual boot, so do i need that upgrade?
and if it is not that upgrade then what you were pointing?
the one ebay you showed I talked to them, and they replied that they had to open the box to see if the content are there or not, how funny, a product from t-mobile needed inspection!!!!
Thanks again.
yea it seems that a lot of people on ebay inspect a phone and its in great "used" shape they'll try to list it as new. the easiest way to find out if its new or not is buy taking the back cover off and looking for dust anyway. but anyway. the upgrade i was talking about is lets say you have a contract with t-mobile every two years you can get a new phone and renew your contract. by doing so you can get a phone much cheaper because your signing on to a new two year contract with them. normally they knock off a couple hundred dollars when your able to do an upgrade.
here is an example of buying a phone at wirefly with an upgrade: t-mobile.com has the mytouch 4g listed for $129.99 shown here. but if you qualify for a two year upgrade you can get the same phone from wirefly for free shown here. thats a $130 savings for the same phone using the same upgrade just buying it at a different place. this price is only good if you are a new customer or if you qualify for an upgrade. you can check to see if you do qualify for one from the site but i checked earlier and they said check back later. you can also contact t-mobile and ask them when you'll be due for one or if you know when you joined with t-mobile just add two years and thats when you'll be due for one. i joined in oct of 2009 so i will be due for my upgrade this coming oct 2011.
if you aren't due for an upgrade any time soon then your best bet would be to try online store's like circuit city and radioshack or any place like that really. both of those places though i think except promo codes so if you can hunt one down you'll be able to save some money that way.

I was trying to PM you but I don't know why the message is not going, checking the PM Sent Message box, it is showing 0, that means the message was not sent, I tried twice. If you can PM, then msg me.
I tried wirefly and other place, but no HD2 available there.
The UNRELEASED Pre 3 from AT&T now available!!!
This is HOT. An HP Insider is selling a few of the AT&T HP Pre 3's in the underground. I see his stuff in forums and on ebay.
And here are a few on eBay
They don't have factory warranty though but who cares

Good find! A little expensive though... it's a fair price, but it aint no bargain.
Engadget posted this earlier today aswell, so I guess it's safe to say they're all gone... Unlucky guys.
If you really want a Pre 3, cheap but EU, you could PM me and I'll tell you how to get one... (the reason I'm not posting how is because I don't want some random guest users following my advice and snapping them all up before the people I like -you- can get one)
So drop me a PM and I'll tell you how to get one for £170 + a little hassle, but it's a damn sight cheaper than $500
i got a brand new never opened at&t pre 3 16gb with unlock code for about 250 off of good old amazon
I was going to purchase the unlocked version of the DVP direct from Dell for $299.00. However, after more research I found I could purchase either version locked to T-Mobile for fantastic pricing since I am eligible for a phone upgrade.
Specifically, the 16GB for $50.00 or the 8GB for $0.99. Yes, you read that correctly, 99 cents! Both come with the latest firmware and Mango.
So my question is, which way to go? If I purchase the 8GB I can invest in a 32GB memory card and still have the same cash oulay. Although going that way will void the warranty.
I plan on using the phone mostly for business and am not big on watching videos, listening to music, etc.
I currentl have an old, unlocked AT&T 8525 so this will be my first phone purchase/upgrade in quite some time. Any thoughts, recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I use the Venue Pro for business as well and bought the unlocked 8 GB model in March. It has served me quite well and I've used less than half of the memory. I always felt that I could change out the card if I get close to 75% memory use. Just my two cents worth. I'm not a heavy user of music and pictures, so 8 GB has proved to be enough so far. Also, you can always redownload any aps you accumulate.

i use my 8gb primarily as a business tool. i've had it for almost a full year and the memory card isn't even half full and I take a fair amount of photos/video on it.
unless you plan on using it as a PMP you should be just fine with the 8gb model.
do you order the locked phone from t-mobile website or dell's? i just checked dell's website and they selling only unlocked phones.
does buying a locked version require you to get a data plan? right now, i don't have any data plan and i don't see any need for it. i may just have to buy the unlocked version if they require me a data plan for a locked phone.
I suggest buying the 8GB version then buy a 32GB microsd card. I got mine at amazon for $34, sandisk. Been working great for me for about couple of weeks now. Here's the link to amazon:

I found out about the deal when I call Dell directly, their number is on the webpage listing the unlocked devices. The only way I found out about the deal was by asking the rep on the phone if that was their best pricing. To my knowledge you do not need a data plan, but I believe you will miss out on a lot of the phones capabilities.
Went ahead an ordered the 8GB version. Should haveit in a couple days. Thank you for all your input and suggestions.
Hi Everyone,
I have decided to purchase the A500 based on days of reading about this tablet versus the top 3 competitors.
However, where I live, this tablet is either discontinued or sold-out from local vendors.
I do have the opportunity to purchase a "no receipt" BNIB A500 32gb for $360 locally on craigslist.
My question to you is "do you think it's worth it?"
Many of you have read or experienced horror stories of malfunctioning gps, rocker buttons/power buttons failing, bricked start-up out of box, patterened screen, etc etc.
Just need a general opinion if I should risk it, as I have no warranty or return option.
I've come to trust everyone's opinion here, so I apologize if my question is juvenile.
I was never asked by Acer to produce my receipt in order to receive service. They have the tablet at the moment and are fixing a sleep issue. They only asked where I bought it and when.
Is the full size USB leading I to purchase the a500?

Yes, the full size USB is a big factor for me. Other reasons are the availability of roms / incoming ICS, cash price, and screen size.
I returned mine after getting a 32gb with screen flashing issues. My suggestion is to go with A200 brand new thru either Tigerdirect or Newegg for 349.99$ for 16GB brand new. No mini HDMI or Rear camera but ICS has already leaked for it and appears to be the replacement for the A500. There is a reason why its being replaced. I placed my order for a a200 yesterday.

Thanks for the opinion, I think I'll steer clear of something I can't return then!

Does the seller know where it was purchased? I have been finding more and more that retailers are keeping track of specific serial numbers. I bought a used DS for my son but the box was torn so I took it to walmart to exchange it and they said it was purchased at Best Buy originally.
That price seems a bit high to me for a used device even if it is listed a BNIB. There is no way to really tell if it is really new. Not too long ago one of the best buy had the 16GB refurbished ones for $279. When I tried to sell my 16GB used, I was getting offers in the $225 range.
I love the hdmi output for watching movies in any format on my TV so the A200 wouldn't work for me but everyone has different uses for a tablet.

I have noticed the same with retailers. The seller states it is shrink-wrapped and unopened, and can be opened in his presence for verification (with cash in hand.)
However, I have decided to not pursue a deal outside of buying from a retailer, as I would be heartbroken should an issue arise that Acer would not agree to fix without potential proof of purchase.
Well I should clarify it would have to be an awesome deal.
Thank you all for your replies. It's so hard to buy a tablet these days, with so many options and promised ICS upgrades!
