Hi i want to buy the nexus one off this site http://www.cellplususa.com/ but idk if its creditable site or its a scam. I can't find any info from it and I found the site on craiglist. Have you had experience with this site and do you think I should buy? The phone there is only 450.
couldn't find anything on it at resellersratings.com so not so sure it's a legit site.
Here is my suggestion on this:
Ok, research shows that they have not been in business for long at all (like under a week or so).
For this reason, you won't find any information on them.
Are they reputable? Hard to say, but things that would keep ME from buying from them is that their website has absolutely NO contact information at all.
They also don't tell you if the phone is NEW, Refurbished or used. How they are selling them for so much less is beyond me because, as far as I know, Google is not wholesaling them to ANYONE. The only legit way to get it new is through Google's shop.
Just my $0.02...
Ebay is the way...
Hey Sasha
Buy it from Ebay and to make sure its a good deal - go with sellers using PayPal as the payment method.. And if you are lucky - You can actually make a good deal thru ebay...
Good luck... Its a cool phone - Nexus One kicks ass.. ;-)

Yeah i know its a awesome phone but ebay prices are more expensive than google!
lol "on sale" yeah ok.
DO NOT buy from there.
What does common sense tell you?
Tells me this site is 100% scam. I love the $10 COD option, though, with a same day delivery guarantee. Someone should test it out!
Sure... But..
The chance to find the phone to the same price as on the google-site will probaly not be easy.. Everyone wants to make money - so you can look everywere - You probaly won't find it anywhere to the same price..
You can make good deals on Ebay trust me..
But good luck with your search

Looks very much like a scam...keep your eyes on Ebay for (buy it now) deals that pop up every so often
Scam. End of thread.

Unless they're using the "loophole" someone else posted about to get the phone for $372 then reselling it for $450.
Do not buy that from that site.

Not enough of a profit margin to make it work TBH, and also, a pain in the but way to get their supply since they will have to get a LOT of people to open and account to get the phone just to cancel.
Either way, I say stay away.

Agreed. $79 is a relatively small price to pay for piece of mind.
If you guys missed this...
There were people in Hong Kong, one of the four countries (wait...Hong Kong is...whatever) got the head start, complaining that when they received their DHL package it was empty inside. So would there be any chance that some people took those phones and sell them damn cheap...?

Not sure about that, but like I said in my original reply, there is NO contact information on the site whatsoever, who would you call if there was an issue?
Also, if those people that had their go missing reported it, Google could Black-List the ESN's and they would be worthless.
SO not worth the risk...
I bought 2 phones from them
Back in Dec. I bought 2 iphones from cellplususa. I didnt have any issues, in fact im using the phone right now.
Hope that helps.

this post seems way to suspicious..first you're brand new member to xda, second you used too much punctuation, third you signed your name at the end hmmm
So the OG Gtv, Logitech Revue just dropped to $99 today. Anybody picking one up? Anyone already have one? At $99 I think it's worth picking up just to play around with and I plan on getting one sometime this week.
If you have one, please let me know what you think about it. Also, are there any good forums for it? None on XDA obviously bc it's not mobile, but surely there's something decent out there.
I picked one up yesterday. I am still not sure how much I like it yet. But at 99, it is a great price just to play around with. Some of the features are pretty cool, the PIP is really nice. It took a while to setup but didn't take to long to figure out how to work it. I am still looking for forums and sites with good info on it.
I would say if you are the tinker type, for 99 bucks you should pick it up.
Thinking of getting one myself. Found a forum that said XDA had a section for it (which I dont see) and someone even mentioned it being rooted. If this is true, its a no brainer and Im running to get one now. Either way though, its supposed to be updated to Android 3.1 by September.
Android forums has a section on google TV: http://androidforums.com/google-tv/
I think I'm gonna get one, looks like it's a decent value for $100
I ordered mine yesterday. Reviews are strong enough overall that for $99 it seemed like a good bet.
Yeah, it has been rooted, but unfortunately, it requires some hardware mods. A bit difficult on the rooting, but probably still fun to play with. It's also due for a gingerbread update soon. I'll check out the forums, probably pick one up soon. I wonder if it has the market, without being rooted?
3.1 Beta has LEAKED!!! http://www.androidcentral.com/honeycomb-beta-logitech-revue-leaked
There's some pretty good info to be found over at the SatelliteGuys forum. Dish Network is somehow partnered up in this unit (I install for Dish as a subcontractor). Actually, it fully integrates ONLY with certain Dish Network DVR receivers. It'll work with most anything out there but if you have the right Dish receiver and are willing to cough up another $4 to a Dish each month, you get some extra bells and whistles that you don't get with any other provider (like DirecTV, the cable company, etc)... at least out of the box that is.
It's a pretty nice unit and it gets better with each update. I've played around with them some and overall I like it, but it's definitely a niche item. We sell that at our office (at least I've seen them in the warehouse). For $99, I think I'll pick one up myself. My wife will just love another toy hooked up to the tv (rolling eyes with an evil grin)!
EDIT - meant to post the link below to the SatelliteGuys forum. The guy starting off the review many months back always has the best and most accurate info. Great guy. There's like 450 posts to wade thru. Like here, the most up to date stuff is at the end. And, just like the Epic, some people love it and others...not so much!
Give thanks if I've helped u in any way...

Ordered one just now. XDA definitely needs a forum for this one.

gtvhacker.com is where you will find all the info you need on the this
noice, i may get one of these depending on my paycheck
Ordered one from Amazon, but it won't be here for ~2 weeks
Big, huge warning -- if you're going to root it, you have to do it before powering it up for the first time and allowing it to update. You'll also need a TTL (possibly 3.3v and NOT 5v, which might be a bit harder to pull off without additional level conversion... most of the cheap USB-TTL uart bridges I've seen are 5v i/o) serial port adapter, and willingness to open up and solder wires to your brand new Revue & spend an hour or two working on it before you ever get to play with it for the first time. That said, if you DON'T root it, you won't be able to do anything with it besides be a content-consumer -- there's no market yet, and the only way to push your own APK files to it is if it's rooted. Sigh. And Logitech dares to wonder why they didn't sell many prior to the price drop. If they were both freely rootable & reflashable out of the box, and equally easy to restore to factory-virgin firmware, they probably would have sold way more, if only because there would be six dozen apps by now to spoof browser ids to get past provider blocks and play ISO files straight from a networked hard drive ;-)
hopefully someone can pre-root the 3.1 update once its official
The logitech website says its 249.99 but in check out its 99 and they offrerd me free second day shipping

I just ordered it from the logitech website for $99 and free 2 day shipping. I can't pass on that deal.
I also find it funny that you can buy a replacement keyboard identical to the one that ships with the revue for $99.

You say "unique code" so does that mean only special people get the discount? Do I need to sign up via email somewhere to get it?
Am i correct by saying that all that these internettv devices like apple tv,googlentv do is put hulu,netflix,youtube on your tv?
Why do i need one if i can just hook up my laptop or ps3 and do same thing.Am i missing something?
Adviceont ever buy PerfectnKeyboard from market,you can see why for yourself.

Where is this $50 off code??
I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.
I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.
I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).
I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.
Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...
FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.

Thanks! This is good info, I might just keep it then.
I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.
Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.
Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.

I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.
1) They actually charge more for manual entry
2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.
Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.
Thanks

I popped for the same deal but bought it online to avoid Florida sales tax...MacMall $321 delivered. 16GB. All the apps seem to like the 8 GB msd card.
Gave my wife my modded Nook Color.

id definitely be willing to pay 300 for it to get it for my wife. Been trying to get a touchpad so I can OC it to the 1.9 theyve been talking about, but i have the a500 and would rather get that for my wife. lol
I use square almost everyday with my A500 the surefire way is to connect it when you are ready to swipe, you have a 5 second window but it works every time.

You still offering it? Got everything it came with? I'll take it for $300 shipped. Nothing at all wrong with it, right?
Thanks!

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!
As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!
**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!
hey, dont know if you got the message i sent but definitely interested in getting it off you. let me know. My pms seem to be acting weird and not sending messages out.
Sorry, I forgot about this post and I'm still getting PMs about this.
Item was sold a week or two ago for $320!
Thanks all!
Disclaimer................I am no longer selling the Transformer due to the below story.
*So karma is a bi?!#. Yesterday while taking my 3 year old to potty at a restaurant my E4GT fell in toilet. I had just taken a picture of my family at the table and put my phone in my front shirt pocket. I don't normally put my phone there because I know what happened can happen but, I forgot. So I'm leaned over pulling my sons pants up when he jumps up and his head catches my pocket and pushes the phone right out and into the toilet. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU££££$$$$$$!!!!! Yeah so I don't carry insurance on my phone because I have never broken or damaged a cellphone before. Doh! Yeah I immediately pulled the battery and and the restaurant gave me a bag of rice to put it in but, I don't have any high expectations since the phone was on when it went into the toilet. So now I have to sell the TF or do some kind of swap for a phone. So angry at myself, LOL* end rant
So I post my Transformer for sale on Craigslist last night. It's in mint condition and I have the original box and manuals. Also have a Case Crown case for it. I was selling it because my wife is awesome and bought me a Prime. I posted it for $350 or willing to trade for a 7 inch tablet and cash which the amount depended on what kind of 7 incher it was or some other crap like a E4GT or Photon. I said I was not willing to negotiate if it was a straight cash sale.
Anyways I am posting the text conversation between myself and some dude. I am am going to post it word for word except for *Redacted* things like names and or locations.
Him: Do you still have your transformer
Me: Yes I do
Him: Will you take 325
Me: No, sorry 350
Him: Oh well I have someone wanting 325 so Im going to talk to him
Me: Ok, sorry I just cant do 325
(Please keep in mind I have already had 2 other offers at $325 and I have declined them both)
Him: Alright its cool. If it doesnt go through can I contact you?
Me: Sure
Him: Hey man the other didnt come through
Him: Still have your tab?
Me: I do. Not going to be able to do anything tonight unless youre willing to drive to *Redacted* after 9pm. Im stuck at work until then.
Him: I can but can you do 325?
Me: I cannot. Sorry.
Him: Ok
Me: You still want it?
Him: Yeah
Me: I'll be home around 8:45. Dont take this the wrong way but, I have a CHL, so please dont try and rob me, ok? Good. I'll give you the address to my house, if you want to meet there, when I'm on the way home. I'd give it to you now but, my wife and kids are home alone and I don't know you from Adam.
For those that are curious a CHL is a Concealed Handgun License, which I do in fact have. Also I am not stupid enough to give him my actual address and would only have given him the street that backs up to my turn about which is another turn about. I live in a very affluent neighborhood in a very crime free city.
Him: Dude can just meet at a 7-11 or something
Me: Where are you coming from?
Him: Have you ever done Craiglist before?
Him: Coming from *Redacted*
Me: Yeah lots and someone tried to rob me a year ago next month.
This is true. Luckily my CHL came in handy, dude ran, I got his plates and the Police were able to arrest the idiot.
Me: I work in *Redacted* Same place he was coming from we can meet at my job tomorrow morning if youd like.
Him: Is your tab at your house? Because I figured we can just meet somewhere in *Redacted*.
Him: **Redacted*
Me: Yeah it's at home. If you want to do this tonight I can meet you at the *Redacted* Station on *Redacted* and Main in *Redacted*
Him: Well there is actually a *Redacted* Chicken right off of *Redacted* on *Redacted* if you wanna meet inside I'm kinda hungry lol and it's public
Me: Yeah but, then I have to go home, get my tablet, then drive to *Redacted* then drive all the way back home. See where I'm coming from?
Me: It's rooted too by the way. Not a problem right?
Him: Oh yeah! Sorry. Well that *Redacted* Station is fine. Just text me when you get your tab so.I can start heading to *Redacted*
Him: I was going to root it anyways lol
Me: Cool
Him: And don't worry I've been screwed on Craigslist before so I know where your coming from. So we agreed on 325 right?
I'm shaking my head at this point but, since he's tried so hard for 325.....
Me: No, lol. I'll do 340 because youre trying so hard for 325
Him: I wouldnt mind giving you an extra $15 because thats not much more nut $325 is seriously all I have. I have a few more quarters in my car but apart from
Him: the cash that's all I have(had to buy books For school)
I'm kinda gritting my teeth trying not to be PO'd cause he's wasted so much of my time, but I was a starving student once too....oh well
Me: Damn dude. Bring your 325 and quarters....sh**
Me: Good thing I'm a fu**ing sucker for a sob story
Him: Nah nevermind man.
Me: LOL seriously? After I just agreed to 325? Whatever, guy.
Him: Like your doing me such a grand favor by dropping it 25. I'm sure some other guy will buy it. Cheers
REALLY A**HAT!!?? WHAT THE EFF!! Yeah dude I feel like I am kinda doing you a favor by dropping it $25 when my post said I wouldnt negotiate and I already told you twice that I wouldnt sell for 325....But I'm not a jerk.....so
Me: Dude you worked me down 25 bucks when my post said I wouldnt negotiate. Ive passed 2 other offers of 325 down. Your textbook story is what sold me when the others couldnt. Never said I was doing you a favor but, instead of taking the deal and running with it, you get your feelings hurt over a good natured ribbing? The should have shown you I was joking. I don't need to sell this thing so it's not hurting me to keep it. Good luck, I hope you find what you want.
END
Effing people....This conversation started at 3:30pm today and finally ended at 8:05pm.....what a waste but, once I looked back at it I found it pretty amusing.
Anyone else have any funny stories about trying to sell their old gadgets?
Haha, you wouldn't like my dad, then. He is one of those that has to win in a negotiation, even if it's a 50 cents difference. I've seen him walk away from a really good deal simply because the seller refused to go down $10. This was a piano. My dad's a musician and he deals a lot with pianos. Both my brother and I at the time knew the piano was worth a lot more (probably twice to 3 times what the owner wanted). My dad also knew this. The owner didn't know the value and so wanted to sell it for $300. At the time, we could have sold the piano for $1,000 easy. Been dealing with pianos all our lives. Anyway, my dad wanted to bring bring it down to $250. The owner refused. After talking back and forth, my dad finally declared that if the owner was willing to sell it for $290, he'd buy it right away. The owner refused to budge. So, my dad left.
Again, we've been dealing with pianos all our lives. We could have resell that piano as-is for $1000 easy. But because my dad was hard-headed...
Anyway, can I buy your tablet for 349.99? That's all I have, I swear

You're braver than I am. Selling stuff on amazon and ebay is as far as I will go. I stay away from craigslist like the plague. And I have an arsenal of guns in my place.
I try to believe the best in people but I'm prepared for the worst
when you post on CL you have to be prepared for offers even you dont accept them. Same goes for ebay.
That guy probably trolled u.

I've sold SEVERAL items on craigslist. What I usually do, I'll buy a new latest and greatest phone for upgrade price. In a year, I'll sell that phone for the price of a new upgrade phone. Therefore, I end up getting the newest latest and greatest phones for free. I can't tell you how many sob stories I get, with people trying to tell me there bad luck, and can I lower the price 50 bucks, 100 bucks etc. I even put that in my ads now. Please, no woe is me stories to get me to lower the price. The worst, is when you are dealing with someone for a few days, back and forth, and you keep saying the price is xxx amount. I won't take anything less. Then they always show up and say, oh, all I have is xxx cash. Will you take it? Then they continue to go on about how someone screwed them over, and they don't have the full amount. I never sell to them, and they end up wasting my time, gas, etc.... Still, quite frustrating, but I NEVER back down.
I can't tell you how many, "my wife has cancer, my brother has parkinsons, or some other disease", they made up. I understand trying to work the angle, but I think just about everyone knows this. Either way, it's frustrating. Stick to your guns man. You will get 350 for it.
I would have told the guy to do one after the first few lines of conversation

I won't take anything less. Then they always show up and say, oh, all I have is xxx cash. Will you take it? Then they continue to go on about how someone screwed them over, and they don't have the full amount. I never sell to them, and they end up wasting my time, gas, etc.... Still, quite frustrating, but I NEVER back down.
I can't tell you how many, "my wife has cancer, my brother has parkinsons, or some other disease", they made up. I understand trying to work the angle, but I think just about everyone knows this. Either way, it's frustrating. Stick to your guns man. You will get 350 for it.

I was selling a car a couple years back and had a guy agree to the price. When we met up he starts telling me how he's a church pastor and was trying to get the car for one of his parish members who's daughter had cancer. Long story short he didn't even bring any money and wanted me to "donate" the car to him. I told him sure but I'd need a donation form and the number and address for his church as well as a copy of his ID and that I needed to talk to my lawyer so he could verify all the information the guy was going to give me. Dude started going on about how I needed to trust in God to tell me if it was ok and there was no reason for me to talk to my lawyer.....whatever, guy. Adios
Cl buyers annoy me. When I was selling my epic touch a dude offered me like half of what I wanted and wanted me to drive to him after I kept saying no to low balling.

Maybe he got ordained online or in the mail, like a distant relation I've heard tell of.

Last time I sold something on Craigslist, the idiot came to pick up a $75 car part I was selling, and he wanted to pay me with 6 rolls of quarters and 15 $1 bills....
That was my only, and final, experience with selling locally on Craigslist..

lol I had a similar experience but not as bad. Was selling my old modded ps2 with like 100+ games for like $70. These two kids had like $68 in bills but the rest was change. I only accepted it because they were cool about it and I could tell they were gamers like myself and really wanted it.I had a cool like 20 min convo with them so that kinda helped too. turned out the car they drove was like on E and the money they gave me was all they had. I would have hit the floor if they asked me to spot them some gas money lmao.

My apologies. The stroll wasn't directed towards you, but the entire situation.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...&sr=8-1&keywords=mad+cats+mojo&condition=used
It's not listed as "new" like the one I purchased, but it's essentially the same thing, directly from AMAZON as opposed from an independent seller, which means that someone probably returned it and they are selling it as an OPEN BOX which is better than a refurb.
So essentially you are getting a MOJO for $160 which, truthfully, is how much it should cost if they really want to make it appealing to the OUYA crowd who wished their console wasn't such a stripped down piece of crap.
For anyone interested, it's a good deal.
Thanks!

LOL the last thing they want to do is appeal to the cheap, pre teen ouya crowd, this is a pro kit all the way baby :laugh:
IMO:
$100US for the real controller with BT4, travel clicp and PC support
$150US for the console
which I think is good value anyway.
I tried checking out, but it's domestic US only
$160.87 - In Stock

Hey,
Amazon gave me a $20USD voucher because they couldn't ship it out of the US :highfive:
Speaking of Amazon, I just read this today:

I'm selling my MOJO.
It's still like NEW. Barely used. Open Box deal.
Hit me up if you are interested.
With tax, I paid just over $175. I'm not a stickler, so I'm rounding down to $175.
$175 + postage/shipping and it's yours!
Thought I'd hit people up here first since you guys are fans of this product and many of you did your best to help me figure this unit out.
If nobody is interested, then I will probably just return it to the online retailer for my money back.
Maybe my loss is your gain and thought I'd share it with you guys since it costs $250 retail + taxes.
Nice meeting you all. Thanks again for the spirited conversation!

Hey,
Yeah I thought you would go for a PC.
I understand though, I had a mythTV gaming/TV/Media box, until the drive died.
Anyway, give me a shipping quote to Melbourne, Australia, postcode: 3020

Going into UPS today to get a shipping estimate. If you are still interested after that point, then we will talk. Look at your PM folder.
