Hiho guys!
A friend of mine is at the moment in Gibralta and I'm wondering whether you can have Nexus one shipped over there or not? Considering it's a part of the UK (in some weird way?) I actually thought it was possible but now I'm not as sure anymore.
Help will be very appreciated!
xoxo, Nosetrick

Hello everyone. that might be stupid question, but i want to make right decision.
I was looking for similar threat but couldn't find. I would like to buy I9000. And the price is nearly same in UK and Germany, bit more cheaper in UK. Would be there any difference between them, except UK and EU charger? And if there is any difference, what country phone to choose? And if there is not, than I just take one of them. I will be waiting for your answers. Thank you all.

I don't know of any difference between the UK and German SGSs (I believe they are both the i9000 International model) except for software (different CSC, likely different modem...both easily changed). Most SGSs come with a USB cable that plugs into a charger, so that is easily replaced as well, or may even come with multiple plugs. I assume the phone will be bought unlocked, so you can put your own SIM card in?
All else being equal, buy the cheapest one.
Oh, OK then. If that is so easy +1 for such a quick respond. I am in Germany at the moment so I'm thinking to buy in here,even if it is a little bit more expensive. But will not have to wait so long for delivery, and the charger will be corect from start thank you again.
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to import a refurbished NC from USA to my country as b&n doesn't sell them here. I would be using it as a tablet PC (froyo/gingerbread/honeycomb).
However, before making the purchase I wanted some expert advice as to whether it is safe to buy refurbished? As i can't go back to claim warranty.
Also, is there anyway to permanently brick the device. I'm pretty comfortable with running ADB commands or using other software skills, but is there a condition where all this fails? I understand if I overclock too much the processor might die but what if im careful about that?
For example, in case of my old iPod touch no matter how much i screw it up on the software side, I can always boot into recovery and restore the device using images provided by Apple. Is the same ability available on Nook Color as well?
Thanks.

Thanks everyone for replying!
Another question has come to my mind..
What's the difference between a refurbished and new one?
I know refurbished is supposed to be "used" model but does it look old and weared out? Do all components work as good? Does screen/body have scratches or anything? Do i get anything less than that in the brand new retail package?
Any help appreciated.

Software-wise there is no reason to worry, the Nook is virtually unbrickable, the primary thing to worry about with a refurbished Nook is the hardware. Buying refurbished is always a gamble especially if you have no warranty.

I have not-so-tech savvy relatives in US. I can ask them to start it up and at the most check wifi/battery are working before they get it overseas to me. Is that enough?
Also, by refurbished I mean the $169 thing from buy.com which is sold directly by b&n through buy.com . Is that also unsafe to buy?

$149 B&N Refurbished. Not sure about shipping though.
Software wise, I agree with joen, i dont know how in the world you can brick it. I erased my EVERYTHING on my NC to the point to where when it booted it said A N D R O I D _ for ever and ever, but I was still able to boot in CWR so I was still able to flash the stock firmware back on it.
It is impossible to brick via software but if you break your SD card slit your screwed. So just be extra careful putting SD cards in and out of the nook.

I bought my first nook new and my second one refurbished both still work perfect and there is no difference between them.

Got mine refurbished on Ebay directly from Barnes and noble. looks and feels brand new except one portion of the plastic Bezel that feels like there is a slight gap below it and flexes ever so slightly if you hold and squeeze on the bottom right corner, opposite the exposed corner with the as card slot. not a big deal though. can't tell or ever hold it that way once I got the silicone sleeve for it.
Just found this oem nexus s battery to sell . Can someone tell me if this is a safe vendor

I look that mine i9023 bat is ab653850cu and this one is ca in the end. Is there a problem? I really think they must almost be the same but has someone experienced using this one?
Thanks for the effort!
It states that the battery is an original Samsung(OEM) battery so it be the same battery as the one you currently have.
Hi all,
I stay in India and I am planning to order HTC One from United States as HTC One is not available in India Anymore. My only question is..
Has the issue with camera resolved on the latest build? I mean the purple tinge? If I am buying from HTC Website, it would be a new build right? So will it have camera problem or only initial builds had it?
If anyone can please suggest me on this, it would be helpful as I wont be getting warranty if I purchase from abroad.
It's fixed on the m8 apparently, but I'm not sure about the m7 but it depends on the one you get,, mine has it but it's hardly noticeable, I'm getting the m8 eventually so its not a bother to me.

Some will have the issue, some not. I was unlucky. I had the issue. The M8 wont have it, so ull be 100% safe. BTW why arent you buying the M8 ??
Also, the M7 is very much available in India. Which city are you from ??
And, if you're ordering from the HTC website, that will be the Developer Edition. And i have doubts whether they'll ship to India......

I am thinking to buy M7 as the price was reduced by almost $100 recently.
M7 is not available as single sim variant, only Dual Sim is available and its not developer friendly
As I mentioned in initial post, I will be getting it imported from United States (one of my friend will be getting it for me)
Not buying M8 coz i cant afford to spend another 10K
How can I check if the purple tint is present on phone or not? How to recreate the issue?

First, install all updates. TBH, the 4.3 update screwed my camera the most. The issue is also present on Kitkat. So, update to the latest version and see if the issue is present. Place the camera lens-down on any surface. If the image is exactly the colour of the surface, then you're safe. If there's a purple tinge, you have a problem. Otherwise, just wait for night-time and take a pic outside. U can easily identify. The only solution for this is to give it for repair to HTC. But, the US model is VERY different from the local model. So, HTC might not repair it even if you agree to pay for repair. Just FYI,

Thanks for the suggestion on testing the phone.. I will try on that..
BTW the ebay link that you provided.. is it safe to purchase from eBay? I hav not purchased anything online for that amount
Does custom firmware help? I mean to reduce the effect?
Also are there any settings or so if that effect can be reduced? Because spending a 30K for a phone which has this major problem is an issue
Hi all,
Sorry in advance if I created a new thread unnecessarily.
I was late with trying to buy that phone and now its basically sold out. Im looking for 4gb RAM 128gb ROM black version of Mi5 and the remaining phones I could find online were white. I tried to ask on the official MI forum but without success. Does anyone know whats going on with that phone? Did the production stop? I saw Mi6 came out but Im not interested. Or maybe im wrong? Does anyone know a place where I could buy it?
Black is rare, you almost cant find it on every online store, xiaomi not produce it again, except someone sold it. It means 2nd hands.

I just checked on the store i bought my mi5 a year ago and it was sold out, so I asked them if they will get it on stock again soon and they told me no, they won't get it anymore, so maybe xiaomi doesn't produce that device anymore... The shop I'm referring to is here
