slideout qwerty mod.... NEED! - Moto Z2 Force Accessories

Hey there! Just wanted to throw my opinion out there. I know the hardware qwerty mod is proxy, but has anybody actually took the plunge and bought one? If so, how is the tactile response? Are we talking touch pro 2 bliss, or pantech breeze mayhem?
I'm stupid enough to consider buying one, so please help me see the error of my ways (or tell me that I'll love it, because I probably would) I haven't seen this particular mod reviewed very extensively and I am quite interested.

I backed the indiegogo campaign more than a year ago. They haven't shipped to all backers yet, there are various reasons for delays, but should ship soon. Probably why you haven't seen many reviews. The reason I bought a Moto Z was cuz the keyboard finally shipped to the first backers a few months ago...

Hello All,
This is just to inform you all that this phone is now sold since I have just purchased it on ebay.
This will be my second Kaiser, and I have to admit that I am very happy with it. I had a Herald before, and the Kaiser is a distinct improvement.
Thanks to all on this site who provide such good advice!! And thanks for helping me find a new phone for my wife!!

How come no one wants to purchase my phone, although its been advertised for longer?
Sorry, 246810. I didn't see that your phone was for sale, and also, although your phone if probably a cheaper offer (if you look at what you are giving with it), I wanted the HTC model not the MDA version because I already have an HTC model myself and I don't want to have two different versions of the same phone.
Sorry!!!
P.S. I might have a Herald for sale when the Kaiser arrives as my wife currently has a Herald and she might not want it any more. Anyone interested?
P.P.S. I regulary send older models to the Philippines (my wife is from the Philippines) as charity as they cannot afford such phones there. If anyone has any of the older models (so far I have sent Wizards and a couple of Universals) and would be willing to donate them to charity (I don't make any money from this at all), please PM me. THANKS!!!!
Hey 246810.
Maybe you should reduce your price a bit to get more interest. Your Phone is a T-mobile branded TYTN so will not have the look of the original TYTN from HTC Which may put some poeple off a bit.
I recently had the opportunity to purchase a MDA vario 3 for £200 brand-new and never used but my heart was set on an orginal looking one. A week later I managed to get an orange branded one with a HTC replacement battery cover £250.
I'm not saying yours isn't a bad offer. But maybe the price is a bit too much for what it is.
Hope you find luck selling it.

Yep, I have a thread advertising my phone. I'm still waiting for my paypal set up to come through and then I will put in on Ebay. Mine is brand new as well and hasn't even be switched on and comes with all you need.
Good luck with your herald- quite personally I don't see myself purchasing a Windws Mobile phone again in a very long time...
just great...

Lol. Okay, point made. If there is a buyer in London, UK then I am willing to meet face to face as this is the safest method for both the buyer and seller. I really do want to get rid of it however, and when my Paypal is sorted out shortly, you can purchase it by paypal if you're interested?....

May I ask if you can buy it for this price brand new? I do find it hard to believe that you can purchase a new Diamond for around £290. Who are you purchasing them from? Cuboosh?...
Also, keep in mind that it comes with 4 cases, two of which are the boxwave clear active case and Siedo's case, and two leather cases, Sony Bluetooth headphones in good condition, along with a virtually unused very compact Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased off Expansys for £60/$120.
not to hijack the thread or anything, but just to let you know, that most people dont really care about that stuff. i wouldnt pay extra for a bluetooth keyboard. why would i need it??? hah 4 cases??!!! one is more than enough. just letting you know why you're having problems selling it so far. maybe try selling that stuff separately??

Need to replace my Wizard

Any reason not to buy a new Kaiser off eBay? Still seems to have decent specs for today's market ...
Anything to look out for, buying via eBay?
The only thing that comes to mind is w/the Fuze (AKA HTC Touch Pro) coming "soon" and news of the upcoming HTC Touch HD already, pricing on Kaiser/Tilt should be coming down as people will probably start dumping them.
I've seen them marked down to 100, with a new contract. Although they will start going down as the new models are coming in quite soon.
I'm enjoying this phone a lot, over an iPhone xD
Pretty much needed a phone ASAP, so I went with a TyTnII off eBay for $330+$9 in shipping:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=170263424688#
That's half of what it was going for 5 months ago.
Almost went Touch Dual, but I really prefer the full keyboard for my SSH work, and of course for SMS/email.

kaiser for sale

hi guys, im selling a brand new kaiser for $270 inlcuding shipping, if anyone is interested, pm me
You Joined Specifically to Sell your phone huh?
Wow,
Everyone, I have to caution you. You never know who is who behind their internet handle.
To skyler I must say that you would be better off Selling it on eBay, they have a buyer protection program which makes buyer feel soo much better.
Ebay gets a portion of the sale too..
I can't believe Jimmy actually came around.. lol
well if you are trying to sell
I would suggest listing the firmware & programs installed how long you had it, if it is unlocked or not type of payments you will accept. where you are located photo's etc asking people to buy a unit sight unsean with almost no description from somebody with no post what country even and does $270 shipped mean any where in the world this is a world wide forum with people literally around the world. anything you can do to raise you credibility will help you sell faster.
this person as jimmy said just joined to sell his phone so most likely it has absolutely nothing but the stock ROM included on it.
wow, well it is true i just joined basically to put my phone for sale which im sure anyone could figure out once you see i posted the same day i joined and have no other posts. i figure i would have more people interested here since everyone here is into modifying tilt or planning to get one.
i did post on ebay, too many charges and had one buyer who didn't pay after he won.
its a new phone i got through insurance because i lost my old one but then found the old one later on. all the stuff is still in it original wrapping except the phone and adaptor which i used for few weeks until i found mine.
i can post pictures of the phone if anyone is truely interested.
and if not then sorry for the inconvience............

Clamshell Keyboard

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Google and Samsung seemingly refuse to develop a competent and attractive keyboard solution. Especially with the Microsoft Surface Touch and Type covers selling so well with the actual Surface. The Nexus 10 has such an ideal connector in the pogo pins, and creating a keyboard dock with a hinge could not possibly involve heavy R&D costs. The market is clearly there. I would love to see a third party maker, like the creators of the ClamCase for the iPad, come up with a solution. The new ClamCase Pro is absolutely beautiful and greatly increases the productivity potential of the iPad. I'd buy one for the Nexus 10 in a heartbeat. I suppose I should not be surprised as we have yet to see an official pogo charger, although the one I bought works rather well, from either Samsung or Google. Both are doing a horrendous job of supporting a flagship tablet.
That was the rant portion of this post, my apologies.
I'm very curious to see what the best solutions everyone has come up with. Yes, I have perused all the other threads regarding the topic, and I've found the answers and workarounds less than appealing. So unless Google and Samsung miraculously come to their senses and release an accessory that should have been available 3 months ago, I'm hoping that one of the brilliant minds on here will spark some hope or joy into my search. So if you don't mind, please share your ideas, opinions, and possible solutions that I may be able to try out and attempt to assuage my growing frustration.
I just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and put the tablet on a stand.
From a business standpoint, it's a waste of good R&D money to try to develop an integrated keyboard solution for a tablet. Nexus devices always have vestigial ports and plugs, and this is just due to Google's lazy practice of axing a particular feature over cost concerns, and then they just ask the hardware manufacturer to leave the remnants of it in rather than spend more money revising the design.
People that really need keyboards and mice will already have a preferred Bluetooth or OTG USB solution, meanwhile the OS itself doesn't require nor is it designed around those input devices. Personally I find it annoying and slow to use the OS with a mouse and keyboard, and only use the keyboard if I have a table nearby and need to type for extended periods of time. If such an occasion wasn't so rare, I probably would have bought an actual laptop or Chromebook instead.
Microsoft makes a point of marketing the Surface as more of a business device, but the RT still fell flat in that regard (wtf no Active Directory integration?), and the Pro is obscenely expensive for a device that doesn't offer any additional business features that can't be accomplished by a cheaper Windows 8 laptop. Keyboards and mice on tablets are niche features, and most people balked at the fact that a touch cover for the Surface RT costs an extra $100, which was also a pretty terrible keyboard overall. Google wasn't ready to make the same mistake, because historically Samsung charges obscene amounts of money for their accessories as well.
If given the choice between a $30 Motorola Bluetooth keyboard that requires its own batteries, or a $70-$100 Samsung keyboard that hooks into the pogo pins, I'd prefer the $30 option. I use my tablet like a tablet, and use a desktop or laptop when I need to do actual work. Trying to shoehorn my tablet into being a laptop replacement often ends in failure and disappointment, so I just accepted its limitations and moved on.
i've just ordered this keyboard. looks nice.

At last!!! I've been checking this accessories subforum since the Nexus 10's release waiting for one. I wonder if I can sell my logitech keyboard that I never use. Please please let us know how it works. Kind of can't believe it took this long
also, you can find it cheaper here:

i discovered this link after i ordered...but in my case it's the same thing due to shipping cost to Europe.
edit: as soon as i receive the keyboard, i would let you know how is working.
Sweet, can't wait for a review!

Interesting. Looks identical to the Minisuit Case I order a couple weeks ago that is still on preorder:
http://www.minisuit.com/p-1723-google-nexus-10-keyboard-stand-case.aspx
Maybe it's time to cancel that order and go with Amazon.

I don't know if that would make a difference. I ordered mine a couple days ago and Amazon estimates three to six weeks for delivery. I will let you know if I get it sooner.

Thanks. I didn't cancel and will also keep you posted.
I see now that minisuit has changed the picture to the black one - it was originally the brushed aluminum - so this should be a fun wait and see experience.
I received an email today saying they are out of the black ones until next weekend if I want to wait or they can send me a silver now. Either way they're offering a 20% refund for the inconvenience. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I wanted the black one.

I noticed from the pictures that this clam-shell keyboard and the other 2 i found on amazon all have a big piece of plastic that sticks out right in front of the space-bar key... i suppose its necessary for it to close properly with the N10....
When anyone gets it, please let us know if it get on the way of typing normally!
Thanks!
So any reviews?
Yeah I have been watching these keyboards as well. I love how they snap onto the nexus to protect it. :thumbup:

No one has received one yet, though I did get a message from mini suit about10 mins ago that mine has shipped in the brushed aluminum varietal.

Zuk Deal... Too good to be true??

Hey guys, I just ordered myself a Grey Zuk Z1 from AliExpress seller called LuckyDog :silly:
It's $209 including shipping to New Zealand. Looks too good to be true but I did it anyway. The seller has only started selling on AEx earlier this year but he has 100% positive feedback.
I am waiting and not very sure what to expect. Everything in the ad looks legit.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...E-WCDMA-CDMA-Smartphone-Dual/32644824011.html
Take a look and let me know.
I have also decided to mod the skin myself instead of the custom skins rip offs being sold around. I got a car Decal Vinyl for about 90 cents and it's going to look mean as.
Anybody?
its kinda too late to give you an advice, isnt it?
do you want to hear that this is a safe and good buy?
i would not buy a phone frome a seller with only 300 sells ... these sells may be fake?
i bought mine from amazon shipped directly from ZUK and did so because i want to have a good service in case the homebutton breaks, which will happen sometime.
i hope your device will arrive at your place and youre happy with the device

Actually it makes sense to do so, as I can cancel my order anytime before it ships. So I can still do so. How do you spot a fake Zuk, actually why would you fake something that is already very cheap?
I won't worry too much about warranty, I can fix things myself (hardware) when it gets to that as shipping things around from NZ is very expensive. Not to mention that with me rooting the device, I do not expect warranty anyway. Plus, people has been having troubles with ZUK's support so adds up to me not relying too much on warranty.
You are making a compelling argument nevertheless and the point you have raised which I agree with is regarding the product being fake.
i dont get it why you ask for opinions if you defend your position anyway
i just stated i would never buy a phone from a new seller especially at aliexpress. i rooted my device after using it for 2 months, now 7 months after buying it the home buttons feels sluggish.
i didnt pressed it for 5 months because i used mrcoldbirds rom and since a few weeks the nuclearrom but youre right, if you want to tear the phone apart you can fix it by yourself
no more answers from me
I didn't mean to sound defensive. You're right there.
Maybe I should break it down to questions, makes it easy to stay on track
- Has there been any reports of bad or fake Zuk Z1?
- Has there been any complaints of Zuk Z1 devices bought of AliExpress
- Any cheap alternatives to buy the phone for someone in New Zealand?
Thanks heaps for your input and time, feeling a bit ashamed for not thanking you earlier.
