XTC Chip in the US

Wondering who would be interested in going in on buying an XTC chip and passing it around in the US.
Here's what I propose...
ONE of us in the states purchases one, and we subsequently pass it around to those who want to go in on it. I would propose that we pool resources together and purchase one through ebay (there's a NY seller that has one for a little less than $200 US. I'd be comfortable buying it and passing it along to someone else in the states... I would say we get a list of people together, where's they're located, and how much they are willing to put in to a general fund to purchase (or offset the cost of) the XTC chip. Let's see if we can get a nice long list going, and I'll look at buying on Monday or Tuesday (May 2 or 3 2011)... I live in Baltimore, so anyone in neighboring states or nearby could meet up or i could mail it to them and they'd have it in a day or 2... (Im not sure the exact weight, but each person going in would pay for shipping to the next in line to receive it.. Im assuming we could ship it for under $2 to each person, as i doubt it weighs more than a few ounces and would fall under the 13oz rule for USPS first class mail)...
If we can get a list of where everyone is, how much they'd be willing to contribute, we can maybe map out a path for this thing... (I would say, the larger contributors would have first dibs on it, and those who are closest in proximity with where it is...ie, if i order it and get it next friday, and someone offsets in NY with $5, but someone in VA offsets with $25, I would ship it to the person in VA... They in turn would ship it to the NY person, and so on and so forth...
If you are unable to offset... you probably shouldnt have bought a $500 phone No, but in seriousness... if you are unable to contribute, I (personally, but would need general consensus from those who HAVE contributed)... would be more than willing to pass this on to those who HAVENT contributed to the cause (of course, as is only right... i would say you would be last in line to receive it...)
That being said... any input?

Count me in, Albany NY

I should say:
Leave your location and amount you'd be willing to offset costs with... If we can get a good idea of who out there is willing, we can formulate a plan on where this thing will go and when it will get there..

200 bucks? you can better buy it straight of raskal instead lol

Count me out lol. I was chose as one of the 10 beta testers1 !!!!!!

Awesome! I'd be interested in where you purchased it from, or alternatively if extra credits were able to be purchased

Bye bye everyone, waiting for HTC Vigor. HTC Thunderbolt user

There is one guy that called me an idiot because I was thinking in going to Sprint
In all honesty, I do believe the 4G Network from Verizon is amazing, and Samsung Galaxy S II is NOT 4G (let's say 3.5G or whatever)
Bottom line it won't reach 14000 kbps/s like the 4G LTE Devices of Verizon
So Samsung Galaxy vs HTC Thunderbolt, yeah it might be a better device but on the other hand the speed of the network is not as fast
So I don't see a clear winner, I will give a slight advantage to Samsung Galaxy S II on sprint.
I have to pay around $50 per month to stay in Verizon (since my family all have Verizon), so that was another good thing about them, it's a little more economical for me
But anyway, some guy told me that the HTC VIGOR will be an awesome device from Verizon, so what I did was
1) Buy cash $260 HTC Thunderbolt (new device, or as good as new)
2) I have my credit in Verizon still (I can use it when HTC Vigor arrives)
I would like to thank the person that recommended me the HTC Vigor, I was really disapointed with Bionic
For the people that said that I work for another carrier, haha, I'm just a user, and I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the BIONIC
Thanks guys, thanks especially to the guy that recommended the Vigor, I am 99% sure it will be a great device

Good luck...bye bye

Quit trolling you already posted a thread about this. Just return the damn thing already.

Good riddance, one dbag troll bites the dust with YET ANOTHER "gibs muh attenshunz" post. Don't let the door hit you. I take that back. Refrigerator.

Corvette VS 911

I am thinking about geting a vette or 911 soon. what would you pick?
I am in the sub 25K range so it would have to be used, but one day I will shoot for new if only one time.
I can get 06 vette 40k miles or a 2000 911 60k miles both in like new shape so those are my picks. Time frame 1/2-1 year so listing the cars would do no good.
Update:
911: 11 votes, A guy I know and XDA
Corvette: 12 votes XDA
Update 2: It's 50/50 now( Edit: well it's 10 to 8 with the Vette winning)
the top 5 things I want out of the car first to last:
1) Ride better than kia
2) best 0-60 for the I-roads and more
3) Nice looking car/Coolest car. ( The vette looks better to me, but thats just me.)
4) Handing
5) Top speed
The ORB says 911, but it's still one vote.

If your buying used and live in the States , I'd but the vette for parts availability and less expensive repairs.

definitely the vette

Get the corvette. The extra years of newness will pay off in the long run. Also, bore thru the catalytic converters for some extra hp.

I'd say the 911 but go for the vette for parts and maintenance which are both cheaper for the Chevy than Porsche

The guy I know said they both cost the same to fix and maintenance. why would you go for a 911 and do you have one?

Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

911.
Why? Yhe 911 handles like a boss. The Corvette is known for the lack of handling, but if you like to drag race, then the Corvette will do a better job, but if you want a car that can handle corners, then you won't find anything better than the 911 (in this class).

I just want a car that rides better than a kia and can do 0-60 in under 5 sec. top speed and better handing are nice too. I know the 911 is cornering king, but thats not all I want and is not #1 on my list.
I may track this car some times, but it will be my only car so I will not be dragging this car.

Hey, get a Crown Vic. Built like a tank, and if you take care of it, you can pass it down to your children's children.

Corvette! Love em.
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-

For handling, I am almost certain the 911 is better. Plus, it's a Porsche.
Proof of rich spoiled children having everything.
Sorry I can't give any more details, I don't have the coin to drive any of the two, but if you were to buy them for me I would gladly provide a detailed review .
Buuut, if you really want speed and acceleration, try a motorcycle. On that I can give a detailed review as I've eaten up a lot of R8's and S8's.
ps: If you say you won't drag this car, why do you want it to do 0-60 under 5 secs?

Both would be nice to have, but it would be better for maintenance to go with the vette. And besides the vette sounds more sinister with a really nice exhaust.

Why do all of you say the vette would be cheaper to fix?
The guy I know says they cost about the same to fix and that the vette rides like crap, but I don't thinkthats true for the c6 vettes.
I think I will go for the vette, but test drive before I buy.

That's a given. You'd have to be nuts to buy any car, especially a used car, without going for a test drive first. I can tell you, from having already taken approximately 100 test drives before making a purchase, the vast majority of used vehicles sitting on car lots are there for a reason. And that reason certainly is not to see you get a fair deal. And the ones that have nothing wrong with them, and don't smell like cleaning fluid are so overpriced........
I got so disgusted that I ended up buying new. Buyer Beware.

Just got my Note

After using my unlocked Dell Streak 5 on T-Mobile for over a year (seemed like an eternity at 2G speeds), I just got the Note.... What a SWEET device!!

No stores in my area carry the note, so I orders from walmart. Been on the art version for 4 months and can't wait to get back to hspa+ speeds.

Hey auds.... I wish you Godspeed in getting your Note.... Mine took about a week to arrive (ordered through Customer Retention dept. at T-Mobile)..... The week seemed like forever, but keep your chin up..... It's WELL worth the wait

Well, damned Walmart cancelled my order. Chatted with CSR for 20 min, she didn't know what happened, so I ordered again and got on chat right away so it wouldn't get cancelled, but it did. Don't know if it was out of stock or what. Just a pisser. I have to call T-Mo as none of the stores in the Portland area have it yet. I hate waiting.

Auds.... I've read on several reputable websites that WireFly is selling it for $179 (with contract.... New or existing customer)... You might want to check that out.... Let me know how it turns out Good luck!

New customer, yes, great price. Make sure you go to wireflyfriends.com, not the regular wirefly website. Had to hunt around for that info, when I couldn't find it at the 179 price on the regular Wirefly website.
For existing TMobile customers, you must be upgrade eligible when you order. I placed my order, and it came back denied because I'm not yet eligible for handset upgrade. The non-upgrade price is much more.

12 Years with T-Mo can pay off!

I went through T-Mo retention and was able to wrangle a $150 price (plus a SGS3 for $180 and a free SGS2)! I'm supposed to be receiving all my goodies today. I had to check yesterday since the automated system kept telling me I had nothing in transit.
For all those customers that wonder, 12 years as a customer does pay off sometimes!

Good to hear!! Mine is on backorder through TMo cust loyalty....grrrr.....

Spich...
I wasn't going to divuldge the price, but I too, got mine for $149 through T-Mobile Customer Retention for $149... I think I did pay extra (in addition to the $149), for express shipping (well worth it.... Note was delivered to my front door 3-days later)

Also... If you haven't ordered the "USB OTG" adapter, it's the coolest accessory ever.... I paid $15 through Amazon w/ free shipping.... It lets you plug USB devices (like key-chain thumb drives), directly into your Note.... Way cool!! (but I haven't tried it with other USB devices like keyboards yet)

The otg adapters can be had for 2-3 bucks each on amazon or eBay, look around a little and you can find them cheaper but it really is one of the best accessories you can grab, nothing like being able to copy to and from a USB flash drive while out with your phone only.

Yep i love it already but i am scared to drop it. Doesnt fit on my hand all that well. Had it for one day, its rooted and installed ubuntu chroot check out my post from developer section. Otg work great with keyboard mouse combo
