Guys I just want to ask you if anyone of you have ordered at Amazon. I placed an order last week and was expected to receive it today but up the mailman came but my order wasn't there.
I have a tracking number but whenever I try to input it won't register and says I should wait a couple of days for it to register in their side.
Is it really this long when ordering through amazon? It's already 8 days and still no good on tracking it.

I've never had problems with Amazon. All of my packages come either on time or earlier than promised... Try contacting amazon and see what they say.

Exactly. Most things on Amazon these days are sold through 3rd party merchants and their delivery times are often slower than Amazons own. A lot can depend on whether an item is in stock or not too.
I use Amazon a lot so i paid for a Prime membership. Those items that fall under Prime delivery are usually received next day here. The only thing that pisses me off is having to pay so much for digital copies of books.

hey !
i'd recommend you to order one from farnell rather than RS.
RS is shipping mainly "made in china boards". When you order from farnell, you have a decent chance to get one with fancy "made in the UK" on it
P.S.: most probably is the same stuff, ...but honestly... it was a long time ago when i had in my hands a piece of electronics made in the UK.

My RS board was made in china .... Isn't everything these day LOL When I Ordered in November the RS lead time was about 5 weeks..... It took about 6 weeks.
@juraj.s I thought we ( brits ) were just a nation of checkout girls/boys now... that's why the Pi was made....
I got my British designed and made in UK rspi board from farnell, waited ages for the backlog to clear, it is a lovely little piece of kit, trying to get my head round Linux with it but I'm getting there

I got mine from here and it shipped within a couple of weeks. And this was back when everyone was waiting a month or so to get one. Also, be careful where you order from. You want to make sure you get the one with 512MB of RAM. The older ones only have 256MB
I second newark. They shipped it fast and cheap and its from element14.com so its always great

Shipping
Yeah mine came in about 6 days
I would not recommend buying via rs-online. I have orded my Pi in the beggining of septpember, got it on 14th december. The dispatch date of my order was set between 3rd and 9th of december (+5 working days of shipement to other european countries than UK). Got no info about shippemnt. I had to write an e-mail on 11th december to get information, that my package was shipped on 6th december.

One more note on newark, they had the cheapest shipping EVER
I ordered mine in June from RS and got it in November. I didn't mind about waiting because in the end I got the 512MB board.

No, the Raspberry Pi does not come with a power cord just the Raspberry Pi board itself. You can either use a 5v power adapter hooked up to an outlet, use a micro usb to usb through a powered hub, or a battery pack. I would recommend taking a look at this list of known working power supplies http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Working_power_Adapters and known working external battery packs http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPerip...ry_packs_.28with_5.C2.A0V_regulated_output.29.

I have a vzw note 2 and am looking for a US company or website that is legit and has the samsung galaxy note 2 "smart dock" in stock. Anyone seen that lately? I called my local vzw retail store and they told me all they have are a couple of cases.
Thanks in advance.

I called up cdw as the 'availability' said to call. Rep told me it is on back order and has been for some time. They are anticipating getting some stock the 2nd week of March.
Is there a huge benefit from getting the samsung smart dock as opposed to getting something like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Case Compatible HDMI Charging Dock which is only about 40 bucks?
Yeah I would like to know also what the benefit of getting the official Samsung dock versus a generic. And does anyone know how future proof this is? like will it work with the Note 3, 4, etc?

The smart dock has 3 USB ports that'll let you turn the Note 2 into a desktop pc.
Yeah but if you get a blue tooth keyboard and mouse you wouldn't really need the extra ports would you?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
true but the idea is to use wired things plus external usb hard drives etc.

Also you can use a hard drive or flash drive to view files or movies on there. Also comes with an extra wall charger($40 value). Plus if you dont want to have to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse but have many wired keyboards and mice around why not? It'll be cheaper than having to purchase those along with the dock.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Be careful with some older wired mice though. Some people (including me) have noticed that connecting an old wired mouse turns the screen of the Note 2 off (a good thing) but drops the FPS on the monitor/TV significantly.
I am hoping to get my hands on one of the smart docks soon. I have found some on amazon, but the vendors there have the price so jacked up that I figure I am not going to buy from them. The way I see it is if Samsung can sell for $99, why pay $139-$160 for the exact same item. Doesn't make sense at all. Bestbuy is out of stock, and cdw as well, But the cheapest price I have seen is with cdw. Will keep my fingers crossed that one will make itself available within the next few weeks.
Signed,
*Eagerly waiting* - lol
When I called the very nice lady at CDW said they were getting some in at the end of February. That was a couple of weeks ago. I got one at Amazon for a little over $100 shipped instead.

Yes I spoke with a very nice lady as well. She told me that it should be around the 2nd week of March. I am hoping that to be the case as well. She also told me that I can go ahead and place my order now, and whenever the device is received, then it would be shipped, but I just don't want to lock into anything.
Do you remember the vendor you used when purchasing yours from amazon?

I have an 8gb WiFi model, and would like to upgrade.
I could get $55 from GameStop for it, although I will see if any friend would buy it for maybe $85.
Any ideas?
I will buy someones 8gb for $50 if its still in good shape. I have a feeling the price will plummet on the older versions once the new ones are released.
They are already selling for as low as $100 on swappa. I'd imagine they will drop further ones the 2nd gen is released.
Id def buy a 1st gen for $75 for my son to play with, to keep him off my 2nd gen of course. Our nook color isn't cutting it anymore.

Phone is def priority, but if the N7 specs are true it will be a huge upgrade. Sure its still going to be vanilla android and do all the things your current N7 does, but it will be much much faster.
If I had a 1st gen I probably wouldn't upgrade either, besides a boast in specs, its not like the 2nd gen has any must have features over the 1st gen.

Given the price point, I'm liable to sell and upgrade.
Gonna keep, the n7 is so cheap you can't get much money for it.
if i sell my 32gb wifi i think i'll only get 120 euro's for it (payed 195 for it)
so if i upgrade (it's a big if, becausen i only got this one just a few months) i gonna give my old n7 away for free (proberly to my parents)

I'd sell mine in a heartbeat if I could get $150 for it. I checked a couple places on Friday and the best price for "trade-in" was $65. I'm not giving it up for that.

Bought my N7 for £185. Sold it a month or so ago for £130 - before the announcement of a new N7 dented the resale value some more.
That's £50 to have a Nexus 7 for about a year which is a bargain.
Might buy a new N7, might not. My HTC One is fulfilling a lot of my app needs.
If I did buy another tablet it would probably be a 10" one.
I would sell it but not many people want the old one now that the new one has been released

I did, and I'm glad I did. The new one is better in every way.

Don't consider that option, just do it. The Nexus tablets are better in every way imaginable. Besides, you'll have money left over and can buy a keyboard case or an additional warranty on your Nexus 7. Or go out to dinner, lol.

while i think the new N7 is a great deal, i think i'm going to skip this one. based on my usage of the first gen model, it still gets the job done. at their price point it certainly makes upgrading every year feasible, but i think i'm going to wait until v3 to upgrade again.
Nope, I'm not. (;
