Ok guys, I need a bunch of good opinions real fast like. I'm shopping for a new tilt online. Yea, I'd love to buy a REAL TYTN II but I don't have that kind of money to throw around right now. I figure that you are paying more for a name, some different paint, a camera and that's about it. So an att tilt will just have to do. I can always flash the firmware to the latest htc spec. So, with all that in mind I need to know what I should do. I've been looking on ebay and they have used tilts for around 250-350 dollars. They are all in good condition... they say, and come with everything. I'm thinking about buying one of these "slightly used" ones, assuming they really are just that. OR I can buy a brand new tilt, fresh out of the box for around 400-450 dollars and know that no one else has touched it. Money is kinda tight, but I don't want this breaking on me either, it's got to last a long while. New or used? Appreciate it. SPACE
1) Line breaks are your friend.
2) If you are going to buy used, just make sure you get some kind of warranty to cover you in the event of hardware failure. Squaretrade sells warranty that cover everything short of losing your device, and AT&T offers insurance for $5/mo that will replace lost/stolen devices. Of course you need to be an AT&T customer for that last option.
AT&T is also selling refurb Tilts for $149 right now, but that requires a 2 year contract.
I just love these threads. Why should I buy "x"? The UTLIMATE reason to buy ANYTHING is because "YOU WANT TO!"
If you look at the price, specs, and reviews and it doesn't give you a boner, then you probably will not be satisfied with it. But if looking at the information gets you excited, then you should buy it.
Anything Treo, Myself, or anyone else says is secondary. Only you can look at something and know that is what you want.
jimmy is that post stuck on your clipboard right now? SPDT(same post different thread) the only difference is the name on the last line.
btw i think that is the greatest quote ever
"If you look at the price, specs, and reviews and it doesn't give you a boner, then you probably will not be satisfied with it."
to the op, don't do a refurbished phone with att, my original stopped working and they have sent 5 to me, 3 with broken USB ports, 1 broken screen, and one without a working radio, plus that last one wasn't recognized by my comp if it was in bootloader
I think you should buy both...used and new... and then see which one you like better. Which ever one you do not like, put in in a blender and make a video of it being shreaded and then upload it to YouTube and then we can all watch it. FANTASTIC! THANKS FOR THE THREAD!

dude, I've wanted a phone like this before they even existed, ever since I was a kid watching star trek (old and new), I've had a boner for this phone for ages! My question really is should I buy used and save some money? I don't know because I don't know how reliable the phones can be... so, I thought I'd ask. This is my uber phone fcol! For now anyways...

Same here, with only a few exceptions. Phones however, must be new and free of anyone else's "cooties" before I stick it up to my ear.
NEW NEW NEW, the one year warranty is priceless to me.
alright well I'm probably going to buy a new one but I'm not going to buy it from the att store. 500+ is too much for something that is going to drop in price asap. I'll buy a new one in the box off ebay unless you guys know where I can get one cheaper.
I have an unlocked TytnII for sale. It is in great shape but does seem to have the backlight bug. I have always managed it with S2U2. Great for anyone who loves flashing or cooking. I moved on to the touch pro so this needs a new home.
Includes box-wall charger-usb cable-extra battery-wall/usb charger for battery-seidio holster-seidio innocase
Accessories alone are worth it! $200 plus shipping.
Sorry....that is $200US + shipping. I am in Arizona and would prefer shipping to the US as shipping international is cost prohibitive. However if you want to pick up the cost of international shipping we can discuss!
Let me know,
Josh

Would that be 200 New Zealand Dollars? It would help your chances of selling it if you tell us where you are (and complete your forum profile for country/network while you're at it). Different countries have different wall jacks/mains voltages and network types. It's essential info missing off your ad.

Thank you Mod
My Tilt just broke a few days ago, and I sent for a replacement screen. if for some reason I can't get it fixed I'll be looking at a replacement phone within the week. If you don't have it sold by then I may be interested.
Thanks and sorry for having a go at you!

Thanks. It does annoy me when people (any people) assume everyone knows where they are so sorry for having a go at you! This forum would be a better place if everyone filled in their country, network and general region for others to see. If everyone showed that info, we could see just how diverse the XDA-DEV community really is!

Luckily for me (and unfortunately for you), 3 hours of work later and three trips to the hardware store for tools I got my Tilt working like brand new. It sure sucks that you have to dissemble the entire damn thing just to get at the screen though, heh. I'll mention your tilt to anyone I know who might be interested, but I'm sorry for getting your hopes up.

Just ran into this on Ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nook-Color-SD-card-rooting-program-Installed-/160524547022?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25600233ce
Whoever bought that card must be insane...
....and the other auction for$ 350 for a rooted Nook Color.
Preying on other peoples ignorance is not a very nice trait unfortunately there are always some people who will try to take advantage of others for profit.
Maybe we should spam the listings!
LOL The same or similar happened when the Pandigital Novel was rooted.
Perhaps the same guy who is selling it on youtube ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVMRwn_PnY&feature=related
and he is running all this from microSD
http://www.youtube.com/user/xboxexpert#p/u/0/DyNllv7TPXs
I dunno, I rooted my friends NC and he insisted on paying me. I did it right even wrote some new batch scripts to mod the system apps for him. He was so stoked and dazzled that he would not take no for an answer. Finally settled for a good bottle of Hennessy. I definitely made out on the deal, but he is really happy. I don't think it is necessarily preying on ppls ignorance, some ppl just don't want to be bothered. I know how to change my oil but I still take my cars to a shop to have it done. Just saying.

I can understand that, but in this case someone is selling programs that were made to be free..
Look on craigslist in any city, there are people advertising iPhone jailbreaking for $30 a pop.
Rooting is a pretty simple process, but some people are scared of anything involving modding and if they're willing to pay for it, why can't someone sell it to them?
It certainly wasn't me, and I wouldn't recommend anyone I know to pay for it, but they have a right to sell and the buyers have a right to buy.
Are they selling the programs though or the skills to do it that is the issue really. I rooted a friends for no charge. If someone offers as a thanks then fine but ya selling what is effectively someone elses work blows. Maybe they were part of the team working on it they deserve the$ $$ maybe this guy will donate eh
It was relisted so I don't think anyone was dumb enough to pay money for it.

What a douchenozzle. First he clones information and claims its his, now he's SELLING NOOT on ebay. He better be contributing back to the salting effort or other things.
hum
lets see the way ebay treats sellers all this guy has to do is root his NC then file a claim stating card does not work as intended or is faulty ebay /paypal will then issue refund after he sends it back .
then think who really got screwed

If this is the guy then he is a real jackass as he was the guy on the original remove cell standby thread claiming that the original poster had copied the instructions from somewhere.

The irony of it is staggering. At least the poster was not trying to making a quick buck off the work of others.
ABOUT TIME TMO!! I cant wait for this. I definitely would pay top dollar for this phone.

2X.
Frankly, G2x should blow Atrix out of the space.
I think it does!! hopefully they remove lg's UI and keep it stock!! either way, its still better than motoblur!!

Probably just HSPA+ (4G) and maybe vanilla android and hopefully gingerbread!!
Nice
A lot of people are speculating that T-Mobile changed the name to G2X to match the other "G" series phones. The same people have inferred that this means te phone will be stock Android. Hopefully this is the case! I will definitely pick it up.
Currently using the Nexus One and MyTouch 4G, I would jump on this new phone in a heart beat. I hope the LG doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, I enjoy a quality built device, good hardware goes a very long way in the way I choose my phones. The Nexus One to date has the best feeling in your hands, I still use it as my daily phone. HTC builds quality phones, I have sent my N1 back to HTC several times for the screen issue, they fixed it, changed the mother board and many other parts. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another device from HTC.
now the question is when is the release date?
I heard later this month. I hope so, I am trading out my Nexus S to get the cash together and will be using an iPhone 4 till its released. :-( I plan on getting it on day one.
how does it take to get the unlock code from the website services?
can anyone give me an estimated time for that?
guyz i ll be in us between 12-18 march, hope it ll be released and get the code in very soon, dont want to buy an atrix
News form AndroidAndMe:

Awesome that TMo is picking up O2X as their next G-series device.
Hope it will be launched with stock Android - porting that ROM to European device will be a piece of cake!
O2X + stock Gingerbread = total win
Some Tmobile reps over at Tmonews have posted that the LG reps have come to their stores to demo the phone and that is stock android, has 4G and it is fast! Also the release date is supposedly April 20th alongside the G-slate. Heh can't wait to get this.

Awesome! You American people are lucky
I made summary of current informations about TMo G2X, visit my blog if you wish to read it
http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-informations-about-tmobile-g2x.html
I spoke to a Tmo rep yesterday...and probably the first guy who was totally knowledgeable about HD2 and its capabilities and such. I've asked several reps about the G2x and none of them seem to be even remotely aware. But after talkin for a while with this guy, I asked him about the G2x...and he said since I know this much, there's no harm confirming the arrival of the G2x...he said the launch shud be with 3-4 weeks after the launch at UK. More than likely, the speculated April 20th seems plausible. Can't wait!!
Is 4g confirmed? Would really suck if this phone had everything but 4g speeds
This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?
I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?
I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.
Looks like we're the only 2 Canadians getting this phone[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I pre-ordered mine yesterday from Rogers! Do you know if there's a case in the box and where to find the official Huawei case??
Thanks!
Hola
I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.
I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.
Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!
