This post was supposed to be more of an advice on how to paint the car after getting hit. I was hit by my impatient roommate two days ago in our driveway and I went to get an estimate on the damage and was quoted $250. There are no dents and the scratches don't seem that bad so $250 seemed like a lot of money for what the issue is. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it SHOULD cost to fix this?

You should color it in the XDA color scheme, with a huge XDA logo on both doors.

It really isn't that hard to DIY a job like that yourself. I've painted many cars myself. All you really need is the right colour, and a spray gun, which is not that hard to borrow. For a small section like that you don't need a spray booth, though you may want a dropsheet for your driveway/shed floor.

I have an original XDA in excellent condition for sale.
It comes with all standard accessories, except is missing the o2 leather case (99p on eBay), the spare stylus, and the Outlook 2002 disc.
The phone has one slight scratch on the screen, which can only be seen in very bright light and from an angle.
It also has a 0.5mm dot on the back (not major at all, but thought I'd better mention it)
Hardly been used while I've had it, and never taken outside. Since changed to an E200, so dont need the XDA anymore.
It's going for a bargain price of £200, which comes with a 512mb SD card worth £130!!
If you're interested, let me know here, or email me: [email protected]
Will sell without the SD card for £130. Or offer me something as a trade.
What is an xda 1?

Yeah but this is brand new as well. I ordered the wrong color by mistake. Took it out of the package long enough to take the picture. Also not going to charge shipping. And if I don't sell it i'm not worried.
is it a slider case?

Awesome case!! Love it. Don't know why you want to get rid of it.
Does it fit the 3500 battery or just standard sizes?
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, the picture below will explain most of my problem. I'm wondering if any other IS users out there have dirt in the same area pointed in the image? You can only see 3 particles, but in person the whole line between the 2 parts is filled with dirt or something.
If anyone else has had this, did you find a way to clean it? I've tried a needle but even that is too big to get in there. I know it's not much, but whenever I see it, it brings out the OCD in me.
Thanks for any help!

Try with paper, a simple A4 might do the trick since you can bend it and stuff... Usually works for me.

Sorry, I tried it and as much as the thickness is perfect, it wasn't rigid enough to be able to pick out the dirt. So not much improvement
Try a manual air pump brush. Watchmakers use it. Just google the picture of it, you will know what I am talking about.
But watch out, they are small but can provide pressure which can break microphones and speakers if you pump em directly.

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:
We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.
Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL
Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?
Because I buy a phone that costs more than my laptop, but are then too cheap to drop the cash for a FlyGrip...

I'm in the same boat, it's a little expensive if you buy no contract phone + cases and then a tiny plastic for $30... i might just have to re-create the GhettoGrip™ :victory:
