[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Nexus one instead of a Vibrant?

hell no. your going back a generation bro.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
No doubt it has newer tech, but there isn't that great a difference. I definitely wouldn't say "hell no." In fact, I'm probably switching back to an N1 as my main phone (assuming the trade goes through). Pretty sure the N1 has the same internals as WP7 phones that were released several months ago? It's old tech for sure, but it's obviously fast enough to keep up in most cases.

If you're into games, though, I'd suggest staying with the Vibrant. It's a bit faster and doesn't have the multitouch limitations.

Otherwise, I like the ROM diversity, build quality, and uniqueness of the N1. Just my opinion though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You wouldn't see posts like this in the Nexus section, there is a plus. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
I would love to have a have a nexus one, but I can't let go of the vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedTiki:
There's no way I'd go for that trade! I wouldn't even trade for the nexus S. No sd card slot big no no!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnydakid:
Part of me has been thinking of making this trade as well. When i really take a look at my phone I realize the one thing I REALLY like about it is flashing new roms. MIUI and CM7 are amazing, I just wish they were stable, which they are on the Nexus.

I guess you could consider it going back a generation, but it's not like the Vibrant has an 8 MP camera, a FFC, or HSPA+. If it did, then this would be a much less palatable trade.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
If you get a Nexus one, then just to piss you off i'm gonna get it and start trolling their forums.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
New question, Would you ever trade your Vibrant for an Hd2?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Meh. I wouldn't trade my main phone for an HD2. It's a beautiful phone, but Android isn't 100%. There are some awesome ROMs, but if you need guaranteed stability, I wouldn't suggest it. (Then again, I wouldn't suggest using stock 2.2 on the Vibrant either...)

Just spent way too much time flashing ROMs, and never could settle on one. Really more of a tinkerer/project phone IMO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blkegk:
For me, No. But I might pick up a N1 as a third phone behind my vibrant and hd2. I seen a few on craigslist in my area for less then 80 bucks used but in great condition.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Are you serious? $80? That's amazing.

Nice Paranoid Android pic by the way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blkegk:
Yeah I was surprised at prices when I looked. Most just come with phone and charger no box or headphones.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Wow..NO WAY IN HELL could I get a Nexus One for that low of a price...the cheapest one I've seen on craigslist was for $200 and it was completely shattered with a whole bunch of broke parts! They go for $300 in Kansas City,MO
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
REALLY?

In Texas, i've seen my friends sell them for 120+ or lower sometimes, and i always thought that was a decent price range, but 300???! i'm going to buy some from my friends, and sell in Kansas haha, profit! $$$
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Lol kansas? Its Missouri lmao kansas is scrubby!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
Hell ya.. I.e. if gives me a battery life of around 10 hours on moderate use. Vibrant gives me like 5~6 hours of battery on bionix 1.3.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3lack:
even though the gps on vibrant is not that great, but the phone is still pretty awesome when running 2.2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Nexus One

Feels better in the hand

better build quality

STOCK Android (no UI bull$hit)

First to get updates

Has stock GB now

Has CM7

Has a perfect GPS

Has better battery

ALSO...

has less power/memory (perhaps not needed)

not as good of a screen (perhaps not important)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tKoHaXoR:
Posted an ad on craigslist offering my Samsung Vibrant for trade and you would be surprised how many people made offers in the first few hours!

I decided to keep my beautiful cheap build quality vibrant. (Running Bionix-v 1.3.1 with FroyoBread Vanilla theme that i made + Launcher Pro Plus!)

Only thing i miss is notification light, led flash, and better build quality :/ (Even FM Radio)

Maybe I will upgrade to the sensation soon as it is released :)
[Defy General] gkkovacs:
When I go into Settings / About Phone / System updates, after a brief "Checking for available update" message the phone greets me with this:

It doesn't say there are no updates, it says checking for them is not possible. Phone has been doing this since I bought it a month ago.

Is this a normal message that everyone else gets when there are no updates? Or should I be worried that my phone will not be able to check for and perform an OTA update for Froyo?

System version: Moto_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.CEE

Carrier: T-Mobile Hungary
[Defy General] realityrat:
I have 2 defys. One running custom ROM and one stock (rooted with custom recovery). The stock one says the same message has yours. I called and asked T-Mo if this would affect me getting 2.2 if/when its released and was told not to worry about it. Not sure what causes it but I'm set up to receive an email notification if/when the upgrade is released so I'll find out then. Sorry I cant tell you why it does it but atleast you know you're not alone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyplanet@fastwebnet.it:
Hi Guys,

Long time since I was used to mod my Win mobile phone.

I got a large number of smartphone and now I am using HD2 with Wp7.

I am impressed by this OS, really fast and with a great potential, however it seems to me not so easy to customize as Win Mob 6.x

I mean, on the old windows mobile I could use everything, I could have virtually access to each part of OS. WP7 seems to me like IOS ( few possibility to mod or customize it, to have access to memory, file system and so on...).

Maybe I am in error and I need just to learn more about this OS.

Indeed if you have any suggestions and where i can find a guide on how to approach to WP7 I will appreciate.

Cheers

Alex
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
Wp7 is locked down unlike 6.5, like you said, more like ios. I do love the ui, but a few options like wallpaper for the homescreen and some transparency for the tiles would be nice imo.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steftymo:
Bad news for anyone who has ordered through amazon...They have changed their delivery date from 18th Apr to 1st June.....I'm glad I cancelled my order this morning and went with comet....should be coming Thurs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
Bloody Hell, thats one hell of a delay, not just by a few days, but over a month, i wonder what has made them change their release date.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] niallmal:
Dang.

My order is still saying that it will be sent out on 18th. Will update if it changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AFK_Matrix:
Ouch glad I went with comet now. I would advise looking at my post about the comet discount and then applying for the keyboard offer from asus as that works out at £405 for both.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steftymo:
I don't understand why there is such a long delay. They( Asus) will lose a lot of sales as there will be the Acer and the Galaxy 10.1 competing in June and who knows what else....HTC, LG
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steftymo:
Yep....I did and got the discount although others have said they couldn't - may be a regional thing.

They still have them available online...next day delivery !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
It could be that as they are coming off the production line they are being distributed to suppliers, so they have not stock-piled for a big on-mass release ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steftymo:
I can't understand how comet seem to have them yet Amazon dont...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
Don't know tbh it was just a thought, maybe Asus are distributing to Comet first as they have physical stores that people can see a demo model.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrgrey1701:
Ebuyer`s dates have gone back too: April 22nd for the tablet on its own and the 19th MAY for the dock bundle, which I had pre-ordered. On the off chance I gave Carphone warehouse a call this lunch time to ask on delivery times for the tablet. I was told if I ordered before 4pm it would be delivered tomorrow. Placed order immediately and cancelled my Ebuyer preorder. I`ll take Asus up on their offer to order the dock direct from them :D

Roll on tomorrow :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] icStatic:
That's MAY in case people are wondering... Very glad I went with Comet in the end, I also will be taking ASUS up on their pre-order deal!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Still 18th April for me (on amazon.co.uk). I ordered yesterday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrgrey1701:
Wow, never noticed it was May! Glad I phoned CPW now.

Thanks for the heads up
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
"Dispatch Estimate: 18 April 2011" <-- in my order.

"This item will be released on June 1, 2011." <-- on the info page

I'll cancel the order if they push the date. June 1 sounds like a joke, there will be many more interesting tablets to choose from then.

I can't take Asus on the preorder deal because I'm not from UK and the deal is only for UK. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iamdata:
I'm using mine right now, I walked into comet and picked it up, wasn't any on display so make sure you ask someone, did I get bit early?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steftymo:
Dispatch Estimate: 18 April 2011" <-- in my order.

"This item will be released on June 1, 2011." <-- on the info page

I remember when I was waiting for my Kindle they kept changing the date on the info page but the date on my order never changed - which was when i got it.

I never read too much into Amazons estimated dates tbh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nlhughes:
Just cancelled my order and ordered via carphonewarehouse.. still in stock.. and delivered on thursday..... will as many others order the dock once it arrives !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ghosti32:
Dispatch. 8.April 2011

Delivery 20-21.April 2011

Transformer + Dock

Mhhh i hope i got it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
Hopefully the order date is the one that matters. If not I'm going to have to take this as a message from God. Nobody wants to sell me a Honeycomb tablet, time to get an iPad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slh24:
I have the eee pad transformer & k/board bundle on order with amazon since 4th April for an 18th April dispatch. When I saw the date change to 1st June was going to cancel, but managed to get a customer service number for amazon uk

Rang them & they told me that there was enough eeepads & k/board bundles in there fulfilement centre to despatch April 18th for everyone that pre-ordered before April 11th. If you pre-ordered after that date you dont get the bundle until june 1.

Bottom line is if your estimated dispatch date hasn't changed & is still showing April 18th on your order then you made the cut!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cpalmer98:
maybe i should have done this too! i just ordered from CPW but fortunately didn't cancel my amazon order. Hopefully i'll be able to cancel with CPW otherwise i'll have two!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morak:
I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon, so on the cut off day. Still showing a delivery date of 19th at the moment, fingers crossed. I have also sent an email to Amazon to check but haven't heard anything as yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Wow, I was close - I ordered April 10th. Thanks for the info.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ManCityFC:
Phew. Glad you rang as I was going to do the same. I ordered mine on 31st March, so hopefully be OK. Still showing for delivery 18th for mine. Fingers crossed, can't wait to punish M$ for the abortion they called Vista and the reply I got when I complained about it. Will never forgive them.....long live Android. Die M$, die.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tentii:
Will monitor this situation..

I mailed Amazon about delivery date, got a weird mail back, can't make much of it:

When I checked my status afterwards it showed this..

Dispatch estimate: 13 April 2011 - 31 May 2011

Delivery estimate: 15 April 2011 - 3 Jun 2011 (More about estimates)

And it split up my order (ordered an SD card and some cables with it, grouped)

(I placed the order on March 31st, so not after the 11th of april).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
Amazon have now confirmed my order will not be dispatched until June despite being placed on the 9th. Not cancelling it yet since I can not find any other UK sites that will deliver to Ireland but it is very disappointing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dpsci1:
Are there any preorder sites for the US yet? I think it's supposed to be launching this week
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djklmnop:
How do you guys feel about ASUS' deployment? Overwhelming demand perhaps, but very poor management in providing their customer with updates.

My brother in law has been keeping his eye out on the Transformer and ended up buying an ipad 2 just today. I'm willing to bet that if he at least knew a firm date of the Transformer release, he would've been able to assess his patience.

Perhaps that's why Apple is so successful? They keep their audience well informed: Press conferences, clear expected shipping dates on their retail site, etc.

Personally I don't mind because I know I'm going to get the Transformer and there is nothing else in the market that I would buy otherwise.

This could make for a great business case study :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] the_chinaman:
I would be surprised if Amazon had any stock or are getting any stock soon. Perhaps ASUS have redirected promised stock to high street stores to meet demand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Mine is still for 18th April, but probably not for long. Well, if it really will be out on 1 July I hope Samsung 10.1 will be out too so I can choose which to buy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cpalmer98:
Just rang Amazon UK to check delivery date and they confirmed it "should" be delivered by the 19th April as estimated. I ordered on 2nd April. Guess all I can do is wait and see.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
For those that can, why not just buy the Transformer from Comet and order the keyboard dock separately from Asus direct? (Whilst you still can of course!)

The cost is pretty much the same, and at least Comet actually have stock of the Transformer!

I had a Transformer on pre-order from Amazon last week, but cancelled when I realised I could have one in my hands this week and that I could get the keyboard dock direct from Asus - I ordered from Comet on Saturday and my Transformer turned up Monday morning.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AFK_Matrix:
Plus you can save a good £28 if you order online with comet and then either get next day delivery for around £7 or free delivery if you can wait 2 days. Should be getting my tablet delivered today but not going to be in so will have to wait till tomorrow :(

Just a shame comet won't let you do the pick up in store on this item.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swordvish:
Comet are now out of stock. So are carphone warehouse

edit: actually comet we're out of stock last night, but looks like they've added more now
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Before I posted, I did actually add a Transformer to a Comet basket to check out delivery times, because I didn't want to say they had stock and then find out they didn't! :)

I've not actually physically been to a Comet store in several years, but I guess since you can't arrange to pick up in store, the actual stores themselves are not stocking this item.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tentii:
Lets hope amazon's call support is right and not the primary email support.

Anyway, my previous mail got escalated:

I am somehow pleased he can't answer right away.

Ah well, all I can do is wait for this mail and the 20th, see if it ships.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Don't forget to order the keyboard dock direct from Asus as soon as your Transformer arrives! Assuming you want one of course, but at given the ridiculously low price they want for the dock, you'd be mad not to get it! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrgrey1701:
I must`ve nabbed one of the last ones from Carphone Warehouse yesterday afternoon. Due to be delivered today :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AFK_Matrix:
Ha you read my mind!! I was wanting the dock from the word go as this is a replacement for my Asus EEE PC netbook which I have just sold. Very happy that I can get the tablet+dock for around £400!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swordvish:
My Carphone warehouse order should arrive today too & I got £19 off from TopCashBack too :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morak:
My Amazon delivery date has moved to 1st June as well now. Comet won't deliver until the 21st. Sigh.

Really hoping that Comet make good on their delivery date - I want my new toy before the Easter weekend!!

E-mail from Amazon:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swordvish:
Comet have stock for delivery tomorrow. It wasnt showing earlier
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morak:
I noticed that. I phoned Comet to get my order changed to that date, but the person I spoke to said it was a mistake. Sure enough, the stock disappeared from the order system shortly afterward :(

I got my delivery fee refunded though :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matt2012:
Link to buy dock

Can anyone link to where I can buy keyboard dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] czm:
email ilovekeyboard@asus.com with screenshot of order, transformer serial number, when and where purchased along with your email and address and they you will send you an invoice and details of how to pay. Bit strange but plenty of us have ordered and it works

this is only if you have already bought the transformer

edit: here is the link (an asus blog)

http://techinstyle.tv/news/eee-pad-transformer-keyboard-dock-offer/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gbroon:
Shame i didn't change from amazon earlier, cancelled with amazon and went with comet as at least they appear to be guaranteeing 21st for me whereas with amazon I was looking at possibly 20th april (order hadn't changed date) and possibly 1st june. I've seen so many different replies to people from amazon to risk leaving my order there. Now to go spend my amazon gift vouchers that were going towards this on something else thats actually in stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ManCityFC:
I have just escalated my initial enquiry as I ordered mine on 31st of March and my order is still saying 19th when I login online. I have had one email back saying it is showing as June 1st delivery on the system so that will be when I get it, so I have told them to either confirm definite on or around the 19th delivery as per my order status screen tonight, or I cancel and order from Comet.

Bloody Amazon. Never again if it is delayed. I hate all this messing around. Why can't they just get a firm date and stick to it?

I will keep you all posted on the reply I get.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HTCHD2ireland:
I have ordered this from amazon too, order still says 18th April dispatch. Will wait and see if it arrives next week. Don't know of anywhere in Ireland that have them, komplett.ie says they should have them in stock on May 20th.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ManCityFC:
I ordered on 31st March and just got this, furious, my order was still showing as due for the 19th April this morning, but the website says 1st June, this is the second email that I have had saying it is definitely not available to them until 1st June now: (have now cancelled and ordered from Comet for the 23rd and emailed Asus about the keyboard.)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] niallmal:
My delivery date has just been set back to June 1 too. Disgusted now.

I think I'm just going to pick up a tablet cheap when I'm in New York next month.

Feck ye Asus/Amazon. What will I play with now :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] inakipaz:
For me,

After several mails /calls, on the end they were specifying on how to cancel the order, not on solving the issue. That's the only thing they are answering. And actually their emails just do that: Drive you to cancel the order.

However, I live in Spain and I have to find another source in order to cancel it. If I find it, no doubts I will cancel the order in Amazon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gizmoy2k:
Hi guys

I too have just cancelled from amazon after receiving same email

I have another ordered from carphone warehouse but have heard nothing other than the initial confirmation e-mail, you can now no longer order there as it shows out of stock.

I have re ordered from ebuyer this morning

quickfind code: 262117

They show 90+ available for pre order and available from the 22nd April

I think Asus have under estimated how popular this product was going to be and just dont have the supply to meet demand
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Mine date was pushed to 30-31 May too. I'll probably cancel the order. Maybe even buy Samsung 10.1 instead (but I don't like the TouchWiz).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matchstick:
For anyone who is cancelling their Amazon order it does actually work out cheaper to order the tablet only from Comet using the 5OFF coupon (which i think is still valid) plus the 2.5% cash-back via Quidco and then order the keyboard seperately via the Asus offer.

Works out at approx £406 in total (£351 for the tablet + £55 for the keyboard) if you use the free delivery option from Comet.

There will be a wait for the keyboard but you will at least get the tablet itself and save £25 or so.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Comet probably doesn't ship items to other countries. I live in Poland and Amazon.co.uk ships here without any additional cost.
