This includes phones
Whatever.
That article was horrible.
Sent from your mom.
unless it goes thru. Considering most of our phones etc are made abroad...
Besides, isnt this what some game companies are trying to put a stop to in regards to Gamestop etc reselling used games?
Wow, scaremonger much.......
Bulk buying and reselling to make huge profits = bad.
Selling your old crap = not an issue.
Both this thread and that article are bad and you should feel bad.

Who are they gonna get to enforce that kind of stupid law?

As there is no accepted law that forbids you I do not see why not, this case is because the person made 1.2 Million dollars profit and of course someone would want a piece of that cake I seriously doubt that someone would go after you fro 200$ of electronic that has parts in it from the entire globe. I would say the guy with the 1.2M could have spent a little bit more on a lawyer

We can call it "gifting", instead of selling. I will "gift"my old phone to a random person, and he will "gift" me x amount of money in return, to repay my gift. You can't outlaw gifts.

Luckily. When we sell out used one, it's not related to this article.

I know.
This is a bad article and shame on the OP for posting it without checking something like this out. He/She is like the person that automatically forwards outrageous/inflammatory emails without checking them out.
There is a small amount of truth to the article though. This court ruling would only apply to copyrighted materials that were manufactured outside of the US AND the manufacturer did not give consent for the product to be shipped to, and sold in the US. Only after those conditions were met, then the mfg would then have to object to the second sale. This probably doesn't affect 99.9% of the goods you buy and already own.
ex. You buy something made overseas from Wal-Mart or the Verizon store or AT&T store.. This court case has no effect on that.

My friend called me and asked me would i like to buy the DS for 10€, i was like "Are you sure that it's a DS?" He told me it is a DS and the guy is selling it because he needed cash instantly.
so i met with him and the guy and he gave me the DS+charger+2 games, only for 10€
still can't believe it

Recently, while travelling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I had my nintendo DS lite + 2 games stolen. I was thinking of selling it anyway for 2 or 3€, so if anybody is offered this for sale or sees it on ebay, for more than 2 or 3€ then you are being cheated so please let me know.

Feels so bad to be stolen please bring it back to mike
BTW Mike have you saw your pic on microsoft bing and goolge wave thread?
I just search images at bing XDA Developers and TA DAAAAAA!!! if you want it i can erase it
no, it wasn't a knife.
it was a fake gun LOL
10€, chinese made, of course
hhahaahhaha
Hahahahaha
Yeah i think so! jajaja
Nice bargain there :]
yeah, it is.
Just a thought ....
You know ..... it's very common and typical for crack-heads or any other heavy substance user to steal cheat aand lie to get their "fix" or "next hit". I can envision this person being a drug addict who stole what he sold to you for his "next hit" or "fix". So when you think about it, you may be lucky, but the person who was victimized by this drug addict was not. Cheers
hmm, i don't think that he ahs stolen it, because he gave me the charger and some other accessories, but i don't really care, because i bought it legally
trust me mate, just cause he's got a charger doesn't mean its not stolen, he could have stole it from his little sister/brother. Or maybe its not stolen and its his.
Oh yeh, I dont know what the law is where your at but here in the UK, you have to purchase things responsibly. Exchanging tender for a stolen item does not in any way make it a legal purchase...but who cares, what a deal mate, your a lucky guy
hey that's really cool you bought in cheap for sure congracts

Sam Lewis of ATT called me shortly after this tweet was sent out. He advised me it is ultimately HTC that is responsible for the bootloader being locked. Not sure how much keeping his job may have swayed his response but we shall find out soon enough
We need to make them aware that we know about Carrier IQ and we need it unlocked right NOW!

I fully agree. I really like the Vivid but I feel with out root and s-off Im not using the phone to the fullest. I have 15 days left and if the above is not done by then, Ill be ordering a rocket (which I do not want to do...)
I now have a phone dialog going with ATT Customer Care because of a few tweets.
They implied that they expect me to relay that information back to the community and said they realize by talking to me they are talking to the community as a whole.
I have kept the situation updated HERE
Wow! We have incredible people here. I really feel like we're all making a difference!
Is this going too far? I mean yeah its a stretch on the truth but they lied to us so why not..

the way I see it... a voice is a voice... even an angry voice.
HTC & AT&T need to hear as many voices as possible... go ahead and be angry... let them know...
I and others with direct lines of communication will be calm and reasonable and can point to the angry people... and say "see the natives are restless"
Looks like I should get a twitter account one of these years lol.
They don't give a crap if you contact them in an angry manner. Those of us complaining about this are a minority, most people that buy these phones don't know anything about this stuff. The majority have never heard of rooting, or unlocked bootloaders, or ciq. They may appear to be listening but if they really were action would have been taken already. I'm glad I'm not an overly paranoid person, I'd never be able to use a cellphone after learning about all of this info that is collected every day.

Your post looks exactly like the one I put on the "Why AT&T users should boycott" threadm, I'm glad someone shares my opinion lol. While a boycott does nothing because of us being the minority, spamming their social media can actually do something. The general public does have a Facebook or Twitter, so when they see people complaining every single day about the same stuff on HTC's page, that doesn't look good at all on HTC's part. It raises awareness as opposed to just quietly boycotting a device when we are such a small percentage.
Just wanted to post my tech support screenshots. Myself and fellow developer MarkHoj decided to troll tech support for HTC, Motorola, and Barnes&Noble. Got some funny stuff. Without further ado, the screenshots:

New to smartphones, maybe.
Given the fact that I work at a computer repair shop, if a customer were to email me something along the lines of what you wanted, I would laugh. I wouldn't be surprised if the tech support people didn't care about what you had to write. they just had to write back to you because it's their job. I do not have any screenshots like that because I have better things to do than chatting with tech support about stupid **** like this. However, if I notice that te tech is "not so smart" while talking to them, I overwhelm them with technical details, until they are forced to connect me to the next level of tech support, where the people on the other side of the phone seem to be a bit smarter. I feel like you didn't troll the techs since you said what you wanted, they told you that they don't support that and explained that it voids your warranty, and then you thanked them. To them, you were seen as an asshole, and not as a troll. Thank you, good night, did I bump the drunk thread yet?

I complained to HTC the other day that they don't make decent sub 4" phones any more. They told me i should buy something called the 'HTC Rhyme', which is Purple!
PURPLE FFS!!
I'm offended!
I also complained to City Link about the asshole courier driver i keep encountering on my drive to work. The guy thinks he's Ayrton Senna whilst clearly being as skilled in driving a vehicle as Muffin The Mule! The three apologetic emails that i received back from the company brought a great deal of satisfaction to my week though.
I hope his need for racing his POS van was worth more to him than having a job!

Walked into the three store wanting to buy the new htc 8x. They offered it on contract, but I already have a three contract, so wanted to buy the payg version (advertised in the shop and online at £349.99) The sales associate seemed so happy, so he took me towards the back to complete the sale
I waited for about 10 minutes. During this time he repeatedly tried to sell me a contract, but I explained to him that since I already had a three contract, I didn't need another one
After another 5 minutes, he told me that unfortunately he wouldn't be able to sell me the phone, as its a new phone and the manager only wants new phones to be sold with contracts
I didn't kick up a fuss as he was a nice guy and actually seemed quite disappointed to have to give me the bad news. I ordered the phone off Amazon when I got home
Can the manager do that? When they're clearly advertising the phone in their shop (and all other three shops, and online) as being available on payg for £349.99?
Was it a official retailer or was it a "subsidiary of O2" or something like that?

Officially retailer, 'three' is another network we have in the uk, just like O2. In fact I think three have the largest 3G network in the uk
They must have a quota of contracts to fill. So they didnt want to let a phone go. They lost out on some money from you.

attention, love and loyalty
Probably first of all,
being a fair and equal person,
seriously, cannot stand on girls that are selfish or mean...
Then comes the rest, such as a lovely face or decent boobs
I wished if my girlfriend could be a person that embraces equality, but seems like she isn't.
She would choose her favorite thing, instead of me. Let's say she loves her job but it is as risky as James Bond, but I don't allow her to do it, she would probably say 'let's break up cuz you don't let me do it'. Well the reality is a more selfish one, but meh.
Embracing equality is a must I think.
