Is there a way for me to purchase UK apps on the Market if I'm in the U.S.?
Mainly interested in AppManager Pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512595
I can see AppManager Pro just fine, I just cannot buy it since the price isn't in dollars.
You can't? I've bought foreign apps before. Prime was a foreign app and I bought it the day paid apps went live.
It just tells me invalid credit card (AMEX). Perhaps I need to deal with the CC on this?
Perhaps you have no credit?
j/k
Ok, so it's the CC. I switched to a VISA and it worked just fine.
You need to pay your cc bill.

anybody know the price of a tilt with no contract?
599.99..........
then you have to add
tax + (unlocking fees)...
almost gets to $700
No commitment price is $549
I bought one from an AT&T corporate store last night.
GPS is completely unhindered and available via COM4. No hacks or Telenav activation or anything needed.
I just purchased it via AT&T Premier for $299.99, via upgrade device. Hopefully, I'll get my Tilt on Monday!!!!.
Did you have a qualifying plan or were you required to make a plan upgrade...i heard that in some cases, a plan upgrade is required..
thx - MN

Depends on if you have access to the Premiere store via your employer or not.
It's $399 from the Premiere store and does not cause a contract extension.
If you don't have access to Premiere, non-contract is more expensive. I don't know what that is because my zip code only shows the Tilt to Premiere customers.

I have the access to Premiere but the price shows $399 with 2-yr contract extension AND upgrade eligible.
Got Mine
After years of trying to convince myself to get a phone like this I finally bit the bullit and got the Tilt last night. Got it at an ATT store. Had 3 in stock.
Playing with the phone trying to sync with Outlook Express. Says it can only sync with Microsoft Outlook. I moved everything to MS Outlook and sync ok but I hate MS Outook and prefer Express. Is there a work around to sync with Express.
Sorry if an easy question but totally new to this.
Thanks in advance

I just called the number listed on the Premier site, talked to a lady who tracked down the price, said it is $399, but that if you go to a Corporate Store locally it would be $299 with the PDA plan.

Hmm... before I learned the AT&T release was coming so soon, I bought one online and it will be roughly 800 after shipping. I was willing to stick with it for the reasons mentioned in the nice compare one of the memeber posted, being...
1. Includes front side camera
2. Included HTC Home Screen Add On
3. Doesn't have a bunch of AT&T branded stuff which I have yet to use on any PDA Phone I have purchased, and why waste the space.
4. Device would be unlocked from day 1, should I ever want to resell it.
So I'd be paying roughly 225.00 for these benefits.
On the downside... no AT&T Support, however, having tried to use their support, I have found they rarely know much of anything, do not offer insurance packages on their high end phones, and basically don't do much else beyond the 1 year manufacturer warrenty, and even then sometimes force you to take a refurb instead of a new replacment.
But I dropped into a store this AM anyway, just to see if I could get a preview and confirm non subsidized prices. Turns out they say I qualify for an upgrade and will be able to pick one up for 400 plus a 50 rebate. Problem is, I thought for sure I did not quliafy for a rebate, and I heard the subsidized price would be 299, not 349. Can anyone confirm? I don't want to send back the non AT&T phone until I confirm the pricing.
$299 is the price with the rebate and $40+ data plan discount, I believe. I haven't heard a lot about the retail end, but it is $299 on Premier with the data discount.

I'm fairly certain it will attract undue attention if I were to order multiple Tilts at the discount price.
Anyway, it will likely only be $150 more for non-Premier customers.

I actually took a look at the Premier site, and was able to sign up for it using my university email address. Nothing like getting 15% reduced monthly costs for doing nothing but confirming your account
damn. 8925 not showing up on premier for my zip yet. oh upstate ny...
With Extended Contract, the phone is 299.99. It's from www.america.htc.com with letstalk.com deal.

I'm going to Germany for a month and am interested in getting a prepaid sim card for my N1. I've never done this before and am curious whether its worth it. I would like to use my phone for both voice and data, but I'd be fine with only one of these features. Do prepaid sim cards in Europe include both voice and data plans? Can anyone recommend a place to purchase a reasonably priced prepaid sim card? Also, do I need to ask T-mobile to unlock my phone in order to use a foreign sim card?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Prepaid in Germany
actually I don't have a nexus one yet but it is sold with plans on all networks, so I'd guess you can take any prepaid card.
There is a commom provider who sell a starterset in some supermarkets (e.g. Norma, Mediamarkt, Saturn, dm-drogeriemarkt, Kaufland, Budnikowsky, Real... according to their website ). It's name is blau.de or blauworld.de.
I'm not sure how it actually is done with these startersets, but usally you buy the simcard for ~10€ and it already has 10€ credit.
If you only want to use voice in Germany than you'd choose blau.de ( voice 0.09€ per minute in germany and data: 0.24€ per MB)
blauworld is cheaper if you want to make international calls, but more expensive for data and inner-german calls.
If your credit is used, you can buy vouchers to top it up in supermarkets and mostly every gas station.
I guess there a different cards available in these shops, this is just one I know and have good experience with.
so hopefully i could help and you'll enjoy staying in germany

Hi
i will recieve my NC tomorrow and have a question...
I live in Switzerland and want to know it if is possible to buy book or magazine if my billing adress is outside of the us ?
Thanks for your help
L
I'm afraid not. And even if you have a billing address and bank account/credit card in the US it still won't work as downloads direct to the Nook won't work outside the US. I couldn't download anything (apart from free books) on a recent trip to Europe..
Not a very good service.
US Proxy
B&N doesnt verify that much, a proxy server in the US do the trick
i use Hotspot Shield, buy content in my windows desktop and download it into the nook. have used it with my costa rican credit card and havent had problems. used it to purchase Nook Kids books and Magazines
Got my SIM card yesterday from T-Mobile.com
Got my Nexus 7 GSM today.
Cut up my full sized sim to fix into micro sim slot. Worked fine.
Inserted SIM into tablet. Got signal. So far so good.
Nexus 7 doesn't have Phone.apk or MMS.apk on launcher.
Fired up Wi-Fi, went to go Play Store.
Installed Go SMS Pro.
Set up my sim card online. Activated with $30 100 minutes, UL txt, 5GB plan.
Had to retry "nearest city" options and zip codes, but eventually got it to work.
Got my SMS notification on my tablet saying account is good.
Refilled for a month.
Got my SMS notification of the refill.
Setup a T-Mobile account with my prepaid number. All good.
0KB used.
Reboot tablet. I get "Sign into network" which is a html redirect page.
Every page redirects to sign in page. Can never sign in.
Research online.
Turns out it's detected as a tablet. IMEIs are apparently flagged by T-Mobile.
BAH!
I'll root and mess around my /efs/nv_data.bin and reboot back, but so far :-/
Edit: No /efs folder

That really sucks.
While I'm probably going to go with the $15 AT&T plan, the $30 TMO plan you referenced sounds like a perfect one for people who want a lot of data, SMS capabilities and some minutes for light talk usage. I was hoping it would work. Have you tried talking to T-Mobile about it?
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully there is a solution.

I have the $15 AT&T plan (actually $10 unlimited) that I'm using for my Galaxy Note 10.1. I would try swapping around but the sim sizes are different. I'm pretty sure that TMobile will say that the Nexus 7 is a data-only device and won't let me do it.
Google has stripped WiFi tethering, MMS and Phone from the device and I'm sure it's no coincidence.

"Stripped" might be too strong a word.
The non-3G versions never had any of those functions. I think it's more likely that they simply chose not (or forgot) to include them in the 3G version.
SMS actually does work, but inbound only (according to rumors) by default. But you can apparently use an SMS app to do outbound fine. There is another thread discussing the phone mod. Apparently a framework change can enable it, but no one has been able to test whether it works or not yet to place calls.
I imagine it would be trivial for a developer to add tethering support, though I don't see the need personally. Most people only care about tethering a non-3G tablet to a phone, not the other way around.
What $10 AT&T plan? Is that the "share your data" plan or an independent pre-paid one?
I don't need a lot of data, but I want to be able to have some if necessary. I also don't want to pay too much for it. $15 seems reasonable, but $10 is better - assuming I don't already need to have a phone with them.
Did you register your sim to N7 IMEI or normal phone IMEI? Wonder if that makes a difference.
Did you ensure the APN was what phones use for data rather than tablets/modems? Tweakker on the market will set it for you if you are unsure.

I did all 1s a couple of times but I when I successfully activated I used the N7 IMEI and changed the "nearest city" option. I strongly doubt that was the issue since other people who have this problem with the TMobile branded Springboard say the SIM works on other devices. I can't test this since I have no other device (tablet or smartphone) that takes microSIM.

I checked them all manually. They were a little different than standard APNs (had a masked password and server field), but I modified them. I was still redirected. I'm pretty sure it's IMEI detection. I'll try it anyway. Edit: Tweaker is not supported on Play Store. I'll have to search for the APK

On any AT&T family plan with shared unlimited messaging, you can add unlimited data for $10 on dumbphones. If you don't have shared unlimited texting then it's $15/mo per dumbphone
Also, TMobile will let you use your voice plan package if you accept to pay an additional $15/mo to use "Mobile Broadband" which is using it on data-only devices (laptops/tablets)

Can you download it from the app store and upload the apk?
I'm confused. You put your SIM card into the device after cutting it down and once you booted it up, you had signal? You saw the H and everything? But you could not access tmo's data network immediately? But then you logged into the play store with wifi?

That's correct. I've already been shuttling a cut-down T-Mobile SIM between devices. When I have the SIM in the Nexus 7, I get a 3G or an H, but then when I try to make any web requests, I get redirected to My T-Mobile. (In addition, Android prompts me with a "Sign into network" item in the notification area.) I can log back into My T-Mobile with any browser, but that doesn't accomplish anything.
I then connect to the Play Store over WiFi but it won't let me download Tweakker.

Thanks guys for letting us know that Tmobile has blocked this. I kind of expect this since they have been cracking down...on the switching SIMS between different devices types.
Specially with them in touch with google on Nexus 4 and also were preparing to partner with Google to sell the Nexus 7 3G with a Tmobile SIM (like Google is doing with ATT) according to some leaked Tmo news pictures..., We should have expected this already.
It was a few months back they blocked the opposite: using data broadband plans SIM in unlocked phones like Nexus. We used to be able to do that.
Still it's unfortunate. Thanks for saving me to try the same and be stucked with a SIM i can not use effectively. To the OP; you can still use the micro SIM in a regular device without an adapter. You just need to position it right and may be try a couple times. I did not this until I saw somebody do it. Since then if I have cut a sim, I can still use it without an adapter. Just make sure you position it right....by try and error...or by inserting a regular SIM and picking up where the metal needs to touch the phone.
For all if you really want Tmobile...you can use the Special Walmart plan...which gives 60 days if you buy the $35 or $50 plans. To a point it may be equal or better deal than the 5gig $30.....depends if you do not use too much data...you can use: $35 for 3.5 gig for 60 days....or $50 5 gig for 60 days.
That's the way I may go or I may go the way of Ultra Mobile MVNO which is coming up with pay as you go @ 4.9 cents per mb in January. This is expensive but it's 4g hspa+ pay as you go to use only while needing fast data in areas where no wifi is there or my freedom hotspot has reach is fast 500 mb limit or no Clear coverage is being picked up.
We should also try to see if Tmobile is doing the same blocking while using MVNO....plans. If that's the case then the above Ultra plan won't help. In order to get better data deals we would need Voice/data plans from mvno..But that in itself is not useful unless we're able to enable both voice...and data on 3g nexus. Ultra has plans with data or voice only while data costing 2 cents per mb. Or Straightalk/Net10 $45 plans if only the voice can also be enabled.
MVNO do not usually have good deals on data only plans.
On the other side ATT broadband plans are interesting for 3gb for $30. Not quite 5 gig but better coverage.

Can you share some more info on this plan?
I just signed up for the AT&T $15 30day/250MB plan. But this sounds a lot better!
I'm generally around Wi-Fi, so don't need a ton of data. But I'd rather pay (effectively) $15/month for 2-2.5GB then 250MB.

well......doing some reading I got this from Walmart....Not good news. Now I understand why when I switched my SIM from a USB stick device bought at Walmart to a USB stick sent by Tmobile it kept blocking me and redirecting me as with the OP.... It took multiple support calls to Tmobile tech reps...to no avail. Until the recreated my account with free data posted to it and with the regular 30 days limit. They told me I could switch back to the Walmart special at the end of the month...but never was able to get it done....I ended up selling the USB stick....so it seems there's IMEI checking on SIM activated with the 60 days specials....so this won't help on Nexus 3G

Ironically, as soon as I posted this, I got the shipping notification at 3 AM CST. But Im still sad about the tmo thing not working
I had hoped that I could use my 3g Nexus 7 on the $30 tmobile plan. I was thinking of registering on the plan when I traveled. I guess the only hope is that someone figures out a work around or tmobile offers a decent data plan. At least, I was primarily planning to use 3g overseas.
It looks like I will be teathering my N7 for for data when away from wifi. This is a pain. In addition, I could have waited and ordered my 3g N7 from B&H Photo and avoided shipping and tax.
Well I tried out google wallet tap to pay today and it's pretty nifty and works all the way to the point of the host accepting my payment. It seems the problem is that google issues a Virtual MasterCard Debit card to make payments instead of using your actual saved card. There are not many stores that actually accept these payments because mastercard charges a higher fee than any of the other cards. Now to my question, Does anyone know of an app that uses the NFC on our phone for payment but actually uses the card information instead of the a "virtual Mastercard"... I've heard of ISIS but it's not available on sprint. I can't find any that have this capability.
Thanks
kyle
This market is still new and ISIS and Google Wallet are the only real big players (perhaps only players at all) in this technology. PayPal is working on an option or has one, but I don't believe it works with NFC and I might be confusing my knowledge with a method of accepting payments instead.
Also, ISIS should be boycotted as it's the culmination of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and the credit card companies to dominate this market and block Google Wallet. Many users with ISIS also complain that the service just plain doesn't work too - a subpar product than Google Wallet. ISIS also uses NFC-equipped SIM cards - not sure if this is a requirement of the service but it definitely is a requirement for the carriers backing ISIS.
