I normally wouldn't do this, but this time it happened to a dear personal friend of mine.
This guy (Jakeypoo) is selling lots of ATT Tilts over at HowardForums and even here on this forums, but instead once paid, he's actually sending el-cheap-o Nokias and worst case a BROKEN CANDLE! (see post #56)
Please be careful when dealing with this guy!

Thank you!
UPDATE:
The HoFo thread has been reopened but locked.
UPDATE #2:
The HoFo Mods have contacted me and explained the deleted thread issue (in fact it was not deleted, it was hidden and then relocated to the correct section). The Mods at HoFo are working on this case and issued a temporary ban on Jakeypoo which could eventually turn into a permanent ban!
Thank you HoFo Mods and I apologize for jumping into conclusions!

My thoughts exactly!!!!
Did your friend pay via Paypal? If so, he could put a claim. Find someone else who was robbed from this guy and include that persons name and email address in the claim. That way paypal will take your word if many people come forward and complain. I'm guessing since he was scamming people he didn't use paypal. Hope that helps somewhat.

While I am not implying anything neither taking sides,
I will state to everyone to stay alert and becareful,
because if its like that i almost bought that tilt
but I changed my mind and i decided to do it in a month and a half
if he would have more available.

The Thief is among us?! I saw this thread but it looked fishy to me so I didn't buy it. I wouldn't buy anything unless it was through Paypal. If you buy something from someone make sure you pay through PAYPAL. Ask for a tracking number so you can see if it was actually sent.
Good detective work NFRCER .... That's SEARCH for your ass!!

Dude that was the first thing i said. im not looking to blame anyone, but the emails are the same and thats a red flag to me. i never said he was a thief. i simply pointed out some similarities. with that being said, its an issue that both parties need to work on and its sad thing to say but if its not resolve there will always be an ugly stain on the seller.
im also aware that he is a long standing member of xda. you should read the thread, and you will find out two people received nokia cellphones.

Yes, NFRCER is correct... Same thief, I mean dude...
Please check the HoFo thread and see for yourself...

He is a member here too? Don't you have his mailing address? or at least get his mailing address from others he sent phones too. Once you receive the mailing address contact local police with the information you have from emails, proof of the sale, and his response over at hofo. If he charged you more than $250, it should be a felony.
However, I on the otherhand am not a rat. I would handle this matter differently which wouldn't be appropriate to say here.
i also got robbed by this guy. would post emails if needed. was gining him the chance to make right, and he never did. then i saw neos thread and flipped out.
Wow. That sucks. Kind of ruins a chance for a honest seller to make a sale on here. That's just wrong.
Yeah I would look up state laws and see if it is actually a felony. Report his ass. Just hope he didn't deactivate that email address.
this is truly sad. for consulation all i can tell u is be patient. what goes around comes around.
i can't stand cheats ... [email protected]@holes
thesire.... ok buddy that's a little too drastic. Let's just keep it at what goes around comes around
I would be finding out where this guy lives and contacting local law enforcement and possibly paying him a personal visit if that didn't help...

Stop using A2DP, Bluetooth file transfer / ActiveSync, put a duct tape over your screen so you can only see half of the pixels, stop downloading apps and songs freely, glue the battery to the phone, and even without the OS it will feel a lot like an iPhone!

Android is Open Source, it's intended to be compilable for different hardware setups which is pretty much the exact opposite behind the intention of any Apple OS' so your snide comment there isn't comparing like with like.

I can clearly see that you missed the point. Funboism is the worst thing in technological discussions... there wasn't a discussion about open/closed source or whatever... the comment of going and buying an iphone was clearly not about open source... and if it was, he/she could have explained the person asking for the iphone os that iphone os is not open source and therefore cannot be ported, and not be so cynical about it... correct ? besides, android wasn't open source from the beginning as far as i know... last month became open source... and if i remember correctly, attempts to port began before becoming open source, right ?

And stop sending MMS.
Also stop using the video recording function.
Stop also with all the copy and paste.
Dont forget to kill the Multitasking also.
Stop flashing custom ROMS.
Dont use voice dial while driving.
You can not choose your operator.
Start loving the piece of **** thats itunes.
Throw a brick in your pocket, so you get the feeling of an fruitphone in your pocket.
Stop using the Tether option.
Stick with taking 2meg pixel crappy photos.
Stop using the file managers.
You might start dressing as a girl for mostly girl use this fruit.
Lastly be happy using a very "exclusive" device thats the fruit. You will find every other loser has one.
There you go kid you got yourself an fruitphone.

you're correct on fanboism... but... it's just a word, and you got what i meant. so i guess you are just getting ironic. y the way, "your post their makes no proper blah blah blah" has an error, should i create a whole message about it? i'm not gonna get into it, i just ignore it, because my age gives me the wisdom to do it. it's clear that all of the answers are fanboistic (i know it's not a word, get over it) ! if you can't clearly identify a fanboistic answer, then maybe you are a fanboy too. it's obvious in several different threads that many ppl getting the diamond or any other wm os mobile, belong to the same group of ppl that swear/curse/flame/whatever on apple. the classic old subject on microsoft vs. apple. and this can be clearly seen in the above reply. answers like those above are clearly against iphone, and just that.
if you still can't get my thought processes, then, maybe i'm just a genious that ppl can't understand (it's clear that i'm ironic right ?)... and i'm not gonna go on with this argument. besides, i had nothing against you, i had something with the first reply. answers like the first reply are simply a fanboys answers. that's it from me in this thread. ciao.

It's really not clear at all, except in your head apparently. The first four responses to the OP didn't denigrate the iPhone in the slightest.

Yes, you're quite correct, we can all see slavering zealots like Sergio PC for example who has a bloody conniption at the very idea of someone even thinking about considering the very idea of an iPhone. However no one has ever denied the existence of such people so why are you telling us about them? And what's any of it got to do with the Android OS exactly?

You're kind of obsessed with this whole fanboys thing aren't you? To the extent of seeing them where none exist. The first reply simply says 'no, there's no way to load the iPhone OS onto the Diamond'. Literally, that's all it says. Where's the fanboy response in that? Where's the denigration of the iPhone? Or the championing of the Diamond? It's not there! Thus: not a fanboy answer; it's all in your head.

Well the 10 post rule is just like an adaptation period, so that the new members understand what's going on here and how things work, without giving headaches to developers. I'd advise you and your friend to go to any general subforum section and simply help people having trouble, instead of opening threads begging for posts and thanks. 10 posts isn't much.. I make around 50-70 a day without getting into the developer sections. Now if you follow what most n00bs do and start rant threads or posts like "this is my 8th post. Please ignore I'm trying to raise my post count to post into development", your posts will be deleted, your post count will fall again and any thanks you got for those posts will be lost.

The less thanks you have the better. It's an indication of how little you know. Usually people that don't know much will have high number of thanks.
Of course we thanked them but it was like we were pushed to thanked them

It used to be a juvenile status thing, but it's an accepted practice now apparently....
I feel sad for people who ask for thanks in each and every post and don't usually thank them if they explicitly ask for it.I feel that it has to be earned rather than coerced
I usually thank if the post is well explained, or if it makes me laugh
Yeah I thank when I get a chuckle out of someone's post. I don't understand why everybody keeps asking for them.
wow and i just thought it was a way to over compensate for having a small peener or small fun bags... (ok not-so-fun bags since they are small...)
I see it more of as a remainder than a forceful act and also to reduce unnecessary posts which only include thanks. And once you get your answer you don't even bother to say thanks even after being reminded,Like maximum members will not say or click thanks by using a ROM from certain modder/developer.
I think that's just human tendency to do so.
Anyways one click wouldn't really matter but then again its up to you.
I would rather click it for anybody who helps me in anyway.
I think this forum should be used for something more creative than such useless discussions.
We get a lot of support and learning for free from here, I say its equally important that we respect the place.

+1 For that
If you want to get help and someone with 2 or 3 thanks answers and then there is answer from another guy who says exactly the opposite but he got let say 200 or 300 thanks, then who would you believe is right or more trustworthy?
What's more some people invest their time, to create things, to upload things or even search for things if others are not good in it or sometimes even too lazy to do this by themselves. Pressing thanks doesn't hurt In the end nobody is forcing you to do it. If someone asks for it, then treat it like a gentle reminder to express your gratitude.
Thanks meter is a human tool that indicates gratitude for someone
In straight words guys:
If i had a severe problem,and someone help me to solve it,i will not mind thank him a thousand times regardless of his no of posts or thanks or status... come-on people its not money, its a human thing that make thousands of people continue helping others,just say thanks to who help u,by button by a post by a pic or even buy a pm it doesnot matter the way, just say it and dont be selfish

Thanks button as a tool reduces number of unnecessary posts. Thanks meter gives indication as to the poster's reliability. Rest is up too individual users, some may indeed perceive the number as a social status indicator and pursue higher rankings, some may ignore it. Still it doesn't matter, as long as the mutual help happens.

I appreciate the sarcastic tone, but what to say about majority of people who really contributed something here, like chamonix (2064 now) or dr ketan (1629 now), and numerous others ?

Thanks everyone!
Edit: to give some meaning to this post. To me, a little thank you is just an incentive to keep on trying to be helpfull. It doesn't even have to be the Thanks button, a simple "thanks, it worked" or "thanks for the info" is just nice to read if you take the time to try and help someone.

I feel sad for people who ask for thanks in each and every post and don't usually thank them if they explicitly ask for it.I feel that it has to be earned rather than coerced

Why are you posting here? Your thanks count is ridiculously high and that clearly indicates that you can't tell your arse from your elbow.

That's because my ass is as tight as my elbow. I'll post a video later of me flexing it. My ass that is.

Yes! You won't regret!
Now, where's my thong..
(I would thank that post, but i'm out of thanks for today)
Isnt it just to say thanks without actually writing thanks and flooding a thread with pages upon pages of thanks? Thats what i always thought.
Hello XDA !!
Now I know what you guys are thinking... (I don't care a damn if you are caring an Android site. There are millions of Android sites and we don't need more)
Well... I want to create a unique Android site relating to Android apps. I want to create a site which reviews android apps in their respective category.
For example.. the title's would be like Best Android Web Browser.
The site would help newbie Androiders to figure out which app was the best for their need (email, web surfing, etc) and for this audacious project I need some help.
I am looking for people who are experts on Android apps and also people who know about making websites (design, SEO). If you cannot help out directly then please give some advice.
One of things I hate about sites are ads. That is why I will keep my site ad free !!! I want everyone to know that I am truly an Android fan and that is why I am creating this site. Unfortunately, since the site will not be taking in any money I also wont be able to pay you any money. I am going to spending money hosting the site.
I realize its still a work in progress but it will be improving everyday.
The site is called
http://appdigy.com
In short I need ALL help but I could especially use help in:
HTML
Graphics
Writing Articles
SEO
Post here if you can help out... Every little bit counts
While it's ambitious and not a bad idea, I'm pretty sure it's against XDA rules to talk about any outside/competitor sites that would take adtraffic from XDA. That said I would be willing to write up a couple articles just for the heck of it.

This is okay - he's not breaking any rules. Other websites have been started by groups formed on xda before now. As long as they're not creating something similar to xda (a mobile development forum for devices similar to ones we support or will support), and as long as they're not trying to make money out of posting here then it's not against the rules.
That being said, I don't think someone who joined the site a few days ago and has only 1 post has enough reputation to expect a particularly favourable response. I suggest that Super2cool gets involved with the forum a bit more and gets familiar with what goes on here before expecting to recruit other users.

The site doesn't compete with XDA in anyway. My site focuses on a specific niche within android apps while XDA is more about phones and android ROMS. Nevertheless, I could use your help

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to say exactly this. Great minds think alike
I truly see where you are coming. I know its only been a few days since I joined the site and I know I don't have enough posts. I have been trying to get familiar with the site and so I haven't been posting much and have been reading on XDA. I have realized that the people on XDA are very cool and smart.

Do you think that the prices listed by eBay are the final ones?
I mean when launched in India, they might increase them a bit! Like around 30k or something..
But if this is the price, then I am certainly buying it!

Well.. I got a ebay coupon with it. 7% off in Ebay. so I am getting it almost for 25000 (16 GB).
You can bargain with your local retailer when it is available for that much or even lower once it is available.
To speak the truth 350 USD is almost 19000 INR so with the local taxes here being high we can get it for 25000 and it will be a great deal.
Still lower the better.
Yep! 25k for such a high specs device is a great deal..
But I really do hope that it don't go beyond that! Since Indian markets have a habit of selling the flagship devices over 30k!

hmm.. but let's hope that this is going to break the price point.. if you really see the N8 (Bad comparision I know..) the flagship of Nokia was sold for 25?? well.. let's hope we are going back there.. but again depreciation.. but this is a real deal for such a pricing..
The only thing that bothers me is the back panel.. Which is totally glass!
I do have habit of dropping my phone sometimes.. And if I drop nexus, all over!
