I live in the UK and owned the PH-1 for around 2 months.
It has been a good purchase as far as I'm concerned.

What network you are on? Do you get good 4G speed?

Good 4g, I've had no issues.

Looking to get one for my wife this Christmas. Got a mate in US who could buy one from BestBuy for 449 dollars and ship it across. Hoping within next few weeks even cheaper considering Christmas discounts.

Nice ?

Hi there,
Just wondering if you get the same issue as I do with the phone (I'm also on O2), when I put it into airplane mode I get a voicemail notification, which is false and annoying. Do you?

Anyone needing an Essential phone for international use send me a private message.

$150 to $225 would be about right
Depends on the capacity of it, but unfortunately they aren't worth that much anymore. If you are going to sell it though, do it soon before the new tabs start hitting the market and it will be worth even less.

Agree. Given all of the above and saturation in the tablet market, the seller would be extremely lucky if he got $150.

Based on your tax situation, gift it to charity and then take off $799 on your taxes.
Just looking at completed listings on ebay, they are selling used for $275+ typically.
i wouldnt go lower than $250. the lowest price i've seen at a physical retailer is walmart @ $330 for the 16gb. best buy (as far as website) only carries refurbs for $299 for 16gb. no new ones to be found.
even with a quad core 7 incher from asus at $250 looming, $250 for a used a500(10-inch tablet with at least 16gb and full size usb) is a good deal
Whoa, quick replies haha. So should I ask around 275 for it? Maybe 300?

Where did you see a good review on the first Prime?
Just go over to their XDA forum in the general section if you want to see some VERY unhappy people!
Prime good reviews?????
Is this why Asus is all over the prime forum telling owners they are sorry for all the wifi bluetooth and other issues.
I would recheck the reviews and foums.. REAL USER REVIEWS Not from stores promoting the device. If a store is stuck with something they are going to claim its The best ever...
I will be likely not buying a new tablet until the new Intel cpu tablets come out WITH Windows.. I am thru with locked DEVICE ISSUES... ITS Mine i want to load the os i want... when i want..
ok thats another story.. Ebay is getting good prices for the a500 But only people with good feedback ratings are getting the high end prices.. good luck .
ummmm i sold my broken Iconia for $189 on Amazon. Its simple and easy. My screen broke, so i just bought another one and instead of spending $200 to fix it and wait for it to arrive, i decided to sell it.

[Q] Nexus 7 in India

I like to buy Nexus 7 in India..
Anybody has an idea how to get it apart from ebay.in????
Why not eBay ?
I sell on eBay its your best bet because most other sites won't ship overseas

Nexus 7
No problem with eBay.I just wanted to know if there are other websites where i can buy nexus 7 at a cheaper rate.
Grabmore has the 8 GB one priced around 16.5-17k if I remember correctly.
You cant get it in india without spending 100$ extra, for that price you can buy another device better than nexus 7.But if you have a friend in US he can buy and ship it to you through US POSTEL, which will cost you 25-30$. i got dellstreak 5 like that.
I am thinking of buying from here : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=878214&is=REG&A=details&Q=
Found on the Marketplace thread here.
Cheaper than eBay, but am still on the edge whether to buy or not given the possibility of defects
Does anyone know where you can get this in India? Only Indiatimes is one of the online sites which is offering "one year manufacturer warranty" for the device. I'm worried about the warranty more than anything else. Not sure if the warrant will be applicable here?
i am also willing to buy this tab but if someone charges a decent price in india...

well lucky you i already purchased from never-msrp for over 700 but i think techno prices went up to 699
now its at $725 what a bad marketing practice ! At this price i would rather wait for the lte version. As soon as the lte comes out this international version would drop the price drastically .
Im not sure about you guys but I rather wait it out and get a Note that actually works on LTE.

Unlocking the galaxy line is always easy , only after a month you will see a lot of unlocking service on ebay for as low as $20 .
I also dont see the point of unlocking the note 2 as it would be available in almost all carriers .
I snagged my self one for 699. But I agree not great marketing but great business strategy snag a fish for less make him entice others. Still cheaper than Negri or expansys

That is terrible customer service on never-msrp's part. You bought it for 650, he should HONOR it. My seller, techno, he actually went so far as to give me a refund of 50 dollars when I purchased a note 2 for 709 a few hours before it went down to 659.. so yeah I bought 2 note 2's for 659. I'm so happy! Techno is now my favorite eBay seller and I'm telling everybody about his great services.
The reason for me to get a international HSPA version is to get faster firmware update. Unless N7100, N7105, or any LTE version share same firmware, n7100 most likely will get update first

My reasons are:
1. Unlimited HSPA+ on AT&T's network for just $10.
2. Faster firmware updates.
Those are the only reasons. I couldn't care less about LTE (whats the point of it when you're limited to only 3GB?)
