ATT Kaiser pricing and release update

This was posted in the $299 thread but its at the way back so I thought I would create a thread so people would have an easier time finding it. Apparently the guys at howard forums don't know jack.
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/09/14/att-tilt-drops-some-knowledge-on-us/
$ 349 with 2 year sign up and data (though I imagine corp will be much cheaper)
release date is listed as late september in the docs.

Am I blind or do they not even list its GPS on there features there?

Thats what I said, however they do mention it in the top paragraph. To be honest Ill still get it even if it doesn't have built in. All I do is put an at&t logo on my punching bag at home to take out my aggression LOL.

oh well I ordered the HTC one lol. Not a bad price on this one tho even without a contract its nice at 549.

$549? I thought they were like $800?

I was saying the att one is not a bad price at 549. The htc unlocked one I got was 789.

They dont have any video calling so whats the point of having an extra low-quality camera?

Wow, $800 HTC Kaiser it is! Screw that ugly nerfed ATT one.

I posted this over at Howard Forums...
There's an online vendor who sells the Kaiser who is offering them to me at $700 for a group buy. If anyone is in IL and is interested, lemme know. The only reason I want to limit it to people in IL is I can drive and meet them someplace so there's no payment/shipping issues. I'm not a reseller and I don't want to be a reseller. I'm just trying to get this as cheap as possible.

I dont think $700 is that cheap though. $600 maybe, I am curious to see what "group" means and will you be able to meet the minimum order in just IL.

I have to buy 5 to get that price. I have Me and 2 buddies from work. So technically I only need 2 more. Figured I'd offer it to the forum.
They are selling them out within days of getting them in stock at 850 so they aren't making much on these at 700. I have just bought a LOT of phones from them and directed a lot of sales their way.
Once AT&T's starts selling, I would think that prices will drop a little but I don't think we'll ever see an online vendor dip below the $700 mark. MMB is $749 which is still the lowest I've seen and he's the most reliable seller I've ever dealt with.
-Mc
Correction: I just checked his website and he raised the price to $779.

5 is a good deal, but at $700 that is too much and all you get is the front camera. ATT for $400 and no front camera is MUCH easier to swallow.

I agree. I just don't want to wait forever for them to release it. I've been holding off because I wanted to see what AT&T did to it. I hate crippled devices. I'm also reluctant to put the 8925 on my account as it could get me kicked off my data plan. A generic device isn't as automated for the system to verify against your plan.
-Mc

Called ATT store by me and asked when they would have the tilt in stock, the guy put me on hold for 2 minutes and told me oct 1st. Surprised to hear he even knew about it and even more surprised to have a date they would have it in store.

Yup me too. i just went to the att store and asked them this afternoon and she said the same thing in october. color will remain the same and as already reported no front camera and so on.........

Some people are claiming that ATT in Manhattan and most of the New York city was selling the 8925 today.

why would u want to watch who u are talking to. if anything u cant lie to the wife when she wants to see where u are if she doesnt believe u .....

What do you mean by getting kicked off your data plan? i have been using the media max bundle for over a year with my treo and my 8525 with no problems. i have never paid the outrageous 60 for a pda data plan.

thanks

Use your noodle mate. The seller is new to the forum and has 3 posts... You're going to trust him with your cash? Be sensible and buy it from a known seller.

Not so great if you get a lint roller in return, is it?

thats wrong
what is your problem man i have box and everything i showed you pics if you like i will send you pic of how much i paid and recpit of my credit card

@bluesonicc, don't take offense but there is a big thread going on here about guys that were scammed recently by member(s) selling tilts and sending lint rollers, candles, etc. Seriously, I think your best bet would be to use eBay/craigslist to sell your phone. You'd probably end up getting more money for it anyway. As is at this point, though, you're going to run into a lot of paranoia over your proposed sale.

hey
i understand what you mean but i have shown everything to this guy full pics and now sending him video of me useing it with todays date it was my girlsfreind phone we broke up and not i wont to get rid of it i never sold anything on ebay b4 not to sure how to use it so thats y i came on here i know it sounds good to be true but i told him that i would use paypal so if he dont like it paypal will him get his money back i told him that i would give money back if he dident like it just upset i know that are bad people out there but its like there calling me a lier and dont even know me im proving as much as i can to him with out him just seeing the phone

Without a decent history here or on HoFo, your not going to get very far.
As stated before, sign up on eBay and list it there. That way the buyer and seller are protected (sort of).
And use punctuation and caps in the proper places.

You're not getting it - the scammer had all sorts of pictures of the Tilts he was selling. And yet, when the buyers opened their deliveries, they found lint rollers, candles and other assorted crap.
Just because a seller can prove that he is in possession of a Tilt does not guarantee that there will be a Tilt in the box you receive.
That doesn't mean, of course, that this particular seller is a/the scammer. If you trust him and feel that this is a good deal, then go for it. Nobody's stopping you.
But don't expect a lot of sympathy from this forum if you get screwed.

Two scammers in one day

So I'm attempting to buy an iPad to use it to show clients photos, instead of printing portfolios. So I turn to good ol' craigslist. Got 2 scam replies. I see they are getting more clever. lol.
#1:
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, but someone already bought the iPad and
picked it up. You might want to try and buy one where I bought mine at. It's
an auction site kind of like ebay that has quite a few iPads.
I am usually able to pick them up there between $130 and $160, I think it's so
cheap because the site is newer and there aren't many bidders yet. Anyways,
I'd recommend you shop there if your still in need of an iPad. The site is
called BIDSAROO.com. I just checked and it looks like they have one
ending soon and the bid is at $53 so far.
When I signed up they gave me this coupon to give to friends, but I haven't used
it yet. Your more than welcome to use it, but I think it expires tomorrow. It's
good for placing some free bids on any auction. The coupon is: free3042
Hope this helps you!
-Chad
P.S. Here is a little secret I'll pass on to you. Right now there is a glitch/hack
on the site that will allow you to block other people from bidding on the item.
When you place a bid, hold down the enter key until the auction counts down to 0.
This should allow you to win any auction instantly. But I'm not sure how long it
last, I'm sure the site is working on fixing the glitch/hack.

Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 64GB 3G iPad from Craigslist
My name is Arianna and I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
I am selling the ipad for $450 USD. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
The ipad is still available and I hope you are still interested. The ipad was bought brand new from Apple a few weeks ago.
About the ipad I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks. Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad.
The ipad is here with me.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it.
Please get back to me and let me know if you like the ipad if you're really interested in buying it.
Thanks,
Arianna

"Included in the $450 price is everything that came with the ipad"
Your $450 gets you *only* what came with the iPad, not the iPad itself.
"the ipad is here with me"
They're just hoping you'll skim over that since it doesn't really make any sense, not until you get the first part anyway...
Deception is fraud, so even though it doesn't say you're actually buying an iPad what they're doing is against the law.

Well also I am in nyc so how would she sell it to me if she's in England?

gotta disagree on that, many user on xda for example put USD and EURO even tho they are in the UK. i do that on Ebay also.

Not being able to do it in person is generally a red flag for me that it's a scam. I couldn't care less if the message comes from the Queen of England.

Whats weird about the picture lol of the Nexus 4?
I hope no one buys this device from retailers. If anything, retailers sell it for the same price as google will. I'll be purchasing the N4 in the next few months because i feel like they will pull another nexus 7 move and release a 32GB version in the next few months for the price of the 16GB Version. Im still sad about it.
Don't mind the thread. Just a little fun until the device releases.
EDIT: the joke is.. why is there a big *** blue samsung sticker above the phone? And hey, they will sell you a replacement battery for the nexus for since removing the battery is noob friendly for an additional 60$. Whose stoked to buy?

Hm... that retailer ships worldwide. That is probably why the price is high? ( some countries are not able to buy devices from google play store and people are willing to pay more? )
Ebay users that ship worldwide are selling it for $500+ too. ( before shipping )

Great retailer...
Samsung LG...Copied + Pasted info from Google Play (notice how it is incorrectly formatted and doesn't fit in the page's margins)...Massively Overpriced...need say more?

The Samsung logo is there on purpose to confuse consumer, people only know two brands, Apple and Samsung, most never even heard the name Android and can't grasp a concept of what an operating system is. So LG and Nexus are not enough buzzwords but a Samsung is. This retailer has horrible ethic.

Hey they're on Devon Ave in Chicago the Indian street...lol. Yeah I wouldn't trust this retailer. All of the electronic stores in that area are pretty fishy...only if you're desperate.

Hahaha SAMSUNG LG GOOGLE
Hope no one buys it

Hey, it has free shipping anyway
But dang, just take a look at the other phones they offer and their prices. I know a iPhone 5 might be a bit pricey, but I'm pretty sure a 16GB model isn't worth $1,099.99 lol; and even a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is a bit dated) is worth the same price...

Backpage Deal For a Note II

Well, I hate to be posting this in a topic I have no idea if it will fit here. But I am looking for answers before i take a dive. I've been emailing this dude on Backpage and have been thinking about going through with a deal for a T-Mobile Note 2 for 350. Which honest to god seems too good to be true.I went on there because I heard that you have to pay for a membership to get in and I figured, why would this guy have a membership and be able to legally scam people if he wasn't legit? He's also telling me to go through Google Checkout and that there will be an email that i have to reply to that says that my payment will be secure and insured. (Obviously, I've never used it before.) Ships from Romania and after I get the package I have 30 days to return it to get my money back.
My question is, Should I go for it? I really need a new phone since my SGS II is having trouble holding a charge and my wife is giving me the ok to go ahead and do it, but honestly, seems too good to be true. He says he has friends in the factory and a contract with UPS to get cheap shipping. :x Help me out guys?

Backpage?

In all honesty, Don't take the deal? Says I have before the 15th.

A lot of people do that, if you google these kinda deals, you will find that a lot is a scam, they offer low prices cause they buy in bulk, but in the end either you will get a empty box or a china version of the same phone

Not necessarily I brought a nexus one off amazon as a temporary device for only 100$ and turned or fine
