Oem sony ericsson xperia x1 steel housing faceplate fix

Saw this one ebay. Wondering does it fit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-SONY-ERICSS...66:2|39:1|72:1205|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

Says it's an original, ought to fit. -.-

Don't buy from this guy, he keeps raising his prices. I had originally bought one of these using "buy now" for i think $8 or so and i got an email saying they didnt have any left and I got a refund. Two minutes later, the same faceplate was set to a buy now price of $17. Now its $30, same seller...

He probably kept realizing that be are willing to pay more. His score is 9000 and he is a US seller (not hong kong) so I am pretty sure it's a safe buy.

Don't be naive. Wanna bet this person sits in Hong Kong... as the items he's selling??? Look where the Item Location is: HONG KONG!!!

Shoot I didn't see the hong kong part.

Yup, and that is what this guy is hoping for ... all the time

Agreed, seems pretty peculiar.

That is just stupid to say. First of all ebay is the best thing since the supermarket. If you can't find it in a store near you it can most of the times be found on ebay.
Secondly many sellers from Hong Kong is far more trustworthy than sellers in germany, UK or USA. I know, I have bought from them all.

100% agreed! Just open your bull eyes as big as you can on whatever you gonna buy.

Thanks for the link!
Does anyone know which is the installation procedure of this plate? Any guide or something like that?

They now have full OEM housing @ cnn for a whopping $79usd. Damn, it is so expensive. I had bought housing there in the past for W950i and the quality was decent. Not really sure if this housing will fix the crack issues. Can anyone confirm?

[Q] Gumtree Scammers [UK]

So I tend to list my old phones on Gumtree, due to eBay's crazy fees. With eBay and Paypal, you sell a phone for £400 and give them £40 of it! Kinda crazy really.
Anyway, everytime I list an item on Gumtree (even through I state I wont ship internationally) I get e-mails people telling me they will pay me X+£100 via Paypal.
Of course I always either ignore or reply telling them I wont ship outside of the UK at which point they don't reply.
What I'm curious about is, how do they work the scam? Paypal is generally quite safe isn't it? Do they claim after two week's they haven't received the item? Does the money just never get to Paypal and they try and talk you in to sending it before it's there?
I'm half tempted to ask one of them to pay the money, me with no intention of sending the phone anywhere, just to see what happens...

http://reviews.ebay.com/PAYPAL-BUYER-SCAM-EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT-INFORMATION_W0QQugidZ10000000000114286
Basically unless you have proof that you have sent, and that they have signed for an item, PayPal will refund the money.
a specific example

So from the example, even if you have proof that the package was delivered, Paypal are likely to give the money back?
I wonder what happens if I ask the scammers to transfer direct into my bank account?

That's made me a little nervous now. I've just sold my DHD on eBay, the guy has paid with Paypal right away.
What are the safest steps for me next? I simply post it via recorded delivery and submit the tracking number to eBay somewhere?

and on paypal too

Thinking about it, I should probably do it special delivery, because that is insured. So if he claims its damaged or something, I can go back to Royal Mail?
Now... the other thing, the guy is only 7 miles away, I'd prefer to drop it over to him. If I get him to sign a 'receipt' do you think Paypal would accept it? I guess I'm actually safer posting it now, he's paid for postage, so he could claim I made it up, where's my postage info...

I replied to a spam scam once, I gave him the crime stoppers number as my mobile number. Idiot didn't notice what is was, just asked for my personal number. At that point I ignored.

So long as you keep the receipt for postage, and make a note of the time and date, where you posted it etc, the Post Office will refund up to £30 (I think that's the amount anyway) for missing items, after they have investigated. Anything more expensive, and I would suggest you send it with insurance anyway.

Are you guys serious??????
just search "gumtree scams paypal moneysavingexpert" on google (sorry can't post links)
That's why I stopped using gumtree overall. It is nothing but a scam den! Now I use other safer sites like movethat.com or bonsoni.com

Not if you're careful. I've not been scammed once using Gumtree and I've made more money from each sale as I'm not giving eBay and Paypal 12% of my sale. You could say that in itself is the biggest scam...
I do still use eBay, cause we don't really have any other auction alternatives do we?

Yes if you are smart then you should be ok (although my smart cousin lost his deposit money for a flat) . But the problem is Internet is available to everyone, even to the granny who never used a comp before.
usually these kind of naive people are becoming a victim. Just search gumtree fraud or gumtree scam on google news search thousands on result come up! Apparently police stopped taking this crime reports as they are too many of them.
You are not giving that 12% to ebay and paypal but do remember that actually you are doing them a favour by using gumtree, which is own by ebay and paypal.
That's what happened when capitalism reach at its pick and consumers don't have much choice.
Once again I prefer to use other smaller and safer sites then any of the above named site.

eBid.net is an alternative to Ebay.
The alternative I used for Gumtree.com is OzAdz.com. I love their Personals section lol.

I don't think it's a viable alternative though. For example, there's 1 Nexus S for sale on eBid. If I'm looking for a phone, why would I go to eBid. If I'm selling, why would I start an auction on eBid, next to no-one see's it and my item sells at a crazy low price

One reason to use smaller websites like ebid is because less people will bid, so you may pick up a bargain.

Anyone bought G-note from ebay?

I have yet to see someone claim to have bought e-note from ebay? I see prices as low as $670 dollars (US) including shipping yet no one has reported to have bought one from them. what is the risk involved that people are still paying $740 from other places and no one seems to be taking advantage of new g-notes from ebay at cheaper prices?

I think its fear + ignorance which stops more people getting them from ebay. These things are made pretty close to Hong Kong, so its not suprising how cheap they are buying them from there through ebay. ebay used to be fairly shady too, and I think a lot of people still hold the fear of splashing $700 into a site which they may feel unsure about. However, as many of us know these days, ebay + paypal combined is an insanely safe shopping source. Not only is your sale fully ensured, but the amount of turnover most of these stores do, and the ability to access other shopper's comments does make it a really valuable source.
I'll be getting my note from ebay sometime next week (when the pay comes through), but have previously bought my SGS 1, and asus transformer from there, with NO problems, extremely quick shipping, and hundreds of dollars saved. I always recomend it

thanks for the vote of confidence. I am also thinking about getting my g-note next week through ebay.

Just read through the sellers past feedback. You should quickly see if the seller is reliable. Also read carefully through the description to see if it is new/used/damaged or if the title is wrong and they they are selling a 600$ notebook with a photo of a galaxy on it rather than a phone.
I got mine from eBay.

I bought mine from Ebay I paid 720 for it including shipping that was free. That's 2 Weeks ago prices were much higher.
It was a reputable seller and didn't have any issue the phone is running great

I went through 3 SGN's so far.. One from Amazon.de, One from Ebay.de and one from my Country which was the most expensive one but was worth the local warranty reassurance since I'm keeping this one. Received it today.
The second one from Ebay was a German model, no problems, sold it like I did with the first one from Amazon after I played around abit with it.
Anyway ALWAYS read the FEEDBACK! Even if it's a TOP Rated it means NOTHING! It might be a hacked account or a bad TopRated. Better safe than sorry.
Example: Someone is selling some SGN's in a very attractive price. Check the feedback if another person bought and received a Note from the Seller already. If the listing just came up then check it's feedback for some expensive stuff and not 2-3euros worth of items.
If the Seller has low feedback(<30-50) but it's 100% positive and every buyer is happy with him, then sent him a message first and see. He might be just a regular guy selling a Note.
Yes Ebay and Paypal did help me a couple times and they were very helpful, but Scammers will always be around.

Got mine on ebay for $760 about 3 weeks ago when they first came out. It arrived in a few days without any problem. It turn out to be a Polish model with a with a Polish provider branding.
Just rooted & loaded a custom ROM & now all OK.
I love this phone. Absolutely awesome screen.

Got mine from a Hong Kong ebayer with no problem.

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!

Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.

I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.

I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.

Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Hello! Link please

I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)

what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...

Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - $399

I found this Best Buy page.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...hite/7798007.p?id=1219291425819&skuId=7798007
Went to Walmart and they price matched it for me! Walked out with a new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for $399 and didn't have to wait for black Friday.
The price is down to 379 now. Happy price matching!

hey give me credit please.............you got it from ME on slickdeals

I figured I wasn't the first one to find it. The Internet is a pretty big place

just kidding, glad you got the deal as well.

You got lucky there was an idiot working at Wal-Mart when you asked for the price match. bb price is still 499 for new. The link you posted was for a GSCR which is for a Greek squad certified refurbished unit!

....... Paid 499 for lol! Someone got real lucky!

Wait so you guys got it at bestbuy or walmart at 399? Brand new?

I got mine at Best Buy for $379.99. I went in and asked for a 16 gig white Tab S 10.5. When he told me the price, I showed him the print out and even the link. He didnt even bat an eye lash. It wasnt until after I posted that it was realized that four letter word stands for refurb. So its a ymmv deal but it also
does not scream refurb anywhere so you might have an argument with management. (refurbs are usually much more clearly labeled) See my receipt here to show what they gave me and the price: http://slickdeals.net/f/7367948-sam...-white-379-better-than-black-friday?t=7367948

Your so lucky! I would of wanted one for that price!

Do a search on Ebay.
BestBuy/Geek Squad is selling Refurbished 32 gig Titanium color model for $379 Shipped to you no charge. Bought mine last night.

This deal is rather tempting, but I am also waiting to learn how much the Dell Venue 8 will be and how the Moorefield processor performs in comparison to the Exynos.

Should we have any concern about this being a refurb? I may bite as well at bb.

I do NOT think this is a high enough value product that these are physically repaired units. I tend to think these are just customer returns that have been factory reset, cleaned off, and repackaged. If anyone with real expertise can comment further I'd be curious. Whether customers returned them because they were broken or they just didn't like, hard to know. I think warranty is only 90 days and i don't know if a credit card doubles the warranty on a refurbished product or not. I've bought a moderate number of refurbished electronics before and never had a problem though, and most problems will surface in first 90 days. That said price new is only $20 more next week so savings not big enough to just ify It.

the point is that its one day to get that price and the madness behind it. Also I disagree in that anytime I have bought a refurb from a large company, its usually pristine. GO to cowboom and that is a prime example of taking returns and simply reprocessing them.

It's four days. Many stores have that price and you can order online. No hassle at all. Samsung.com has it for 399$ beginning Sunday and you can pre-order today.

Also if you want to go refurbished, Newegg is cheaper than bb, no sales tax, and includes a one year warranty.
