Yeahh Buddy!! Kindle Fire all the way!!
[Kindle Fire General] fiddlefaddle:
Hopefully we will be able to use a USB flash drive soon...
[Kindle Fire General] brooksyx:
Hmm I have definitely been tempted to get a kindle fire. What's the battery life like on CM9?
[Kindle Fire General] shovelhead83:
I'm using cm7 for stability and battery life is pleasingly good. Blows my phone away by far.
[Kindle Fire General] gbarayah:
For the price point, I don't know that you can really beat this tablet.

Bought mine because I wanted an E-reader for my graduate studies and have been itching to get my hands on an Android Tablet. Development is steady and there are certainly plenty of ROMs to choose from.

My only complaint, like others, is the lack of an SD Card slot. 8gb can go by very quickly but I'll make it work. I think the size is a personal preference. For my tastes, its perfect.
[Kindle Fire General] shovelhead83:
The price is why I bought it. Its awesome is why I keep it.
[Kindle Fire General] tinkererx:
After I got my Fire, I actually gave my iPad my niece because I love the 7 inch size (it fits into my larger pockets even) and it is lighter which makes reading in bed easier (read: I've dropped my iPad on my face to often while dozing off).

The price was a big factor at the time, but now that I have it I think it is worth at least $100 more. Amazon has all the content (books, music and movies) of the Apple and Google markets and often will automatically drop prices to match those stores.

One of the biggest pluses is the fact that the dev subforum and this Fire forum in general is one of the most useful and kind in all of XDA (and that's becoming more rare these days). And because the Fire was such a great seller there a lot of active development and cool things to try out.

My only concern at this point is the rumors of a Fire 2 coming sooner than later (and the price should remain the same...if they raise out at all they would kill the success of this original Fire) and the possibility of a Nexus tablet from Google that would be priced similarly (if not cheaper...rumors put it at $150-250). If those rumors are true, it would likely have superior specs and ICS out of the gate. However, it's hard to tell if those rumors are accurate and what the time frame is.

All in all, I love my Fire and have bought two others as gifts and out has been my favorite tablet yet. You probably won't regret the purchase if you take the jump.

Please excuse typos as I'm typing this on my phone :)
[Kindle Fire General] amrn4s:
Honestly can't go wrong for the price. If you live with not having the storage space and, can root and install a different rom. Great buy for $200. Craigslist have ones for cheaper.
[Kindle Fire General] aydos:
Once haschode has HWA working properly in ICS for the KFs you definitely cannot beat them for the price.

It feels as zippy as the galaxy tabs I have played with. I am currently running AOKP and it is like a new tablet.

Like many others though the main downfall is the 8gb storage limit.

However, books do not take up that much room, I stream my music from Google Music, and I stream most video. I have watched a movie on there, but I knew I was gonna need one to watch for a couple of hours so I preloaded it and then deleted it after viewing so it was not a big deal.
[Kindle Fire General] jdwyer2009:
its a great purchase especially with the wonderful community here.
[Kindle Fire General] BigElephant:
Great tablet. no issue. with $199, all the short coming can be worked around and lived with it.

if you don't like the way it looks and wants to have total control, just flash it with custom rom and that works great. I have mine running with Energy's rom.

Battery life is great after the custom rom. 7" is great. I stored music on the cloud. For video, just download what is needed and delete afterward.

If anyone is so concerns on Fire2 coming out soon, just get an used one.
[Kindle Fire General] songjosh:
Can't beat the price. Hardware keeps up with more expensive tablets and you can accessorize .___. If that's your kind of thing.
[Kindle Fire General] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I really like mine, and I was adamant about never having a tablet because of lack of a real function (my wife bought this one for me).

I don't mind the lack of space. I don't do movies ever and my music stays on my phone (which has a much nicer DAC).
[Kindle Fire General] engbren:
Kindle Fire is great

For the price point, I don't think you can go past the Kindle Fire. To me, there are 2 key factors in the user experience of a tablet: the screen and how fast the CPU is. The IPS display on the Kindle blows away many more expensive options like the Toshiba 7 inch Thrive. It simply looks washed out compared to the Kindle.

You also have a dual core CPU with decent amount of RAM, so it feels responsive. I am running a CM9 (ICS) ROM on mine and it is brilliant. I have an iPad 2 at home as well, and for general purpose tablet computing (browsing, emails), the CM9 modded Kindle is on par with the experience. For document creation or notes, I think the Evernote application with an alternate keyboard like Swype actually gives you a better experience than on the iPad.

With the hard work that hashcode is doing on an updated kernel, it can only get better.
[Kindle Fire General] chris_m128:
For the amount of things you can do on the kindle, I think at it's price it is the best option for an android tablet. It's already got a ton of roms running on it and it probably won't be too long till there is a daily ICS rom. Just waiting on a 3.0 Kernel I believe. Rooting is pretty simple too, although there was a new update that just came out. 6.3 but it should be pretty soon for the guys at kindle fire utility to update their package.
[Kindle Fire General] machos1:
plus one. although I bought it during walmart sale with $50 gift card. cant ask for more from a $150 tablet. go with cm7 barebones until there's a ics daily driver :)
[Kindle Fire General] Brooksdsh30:
Android Tablet??

For the money.. the kindle fire is great. But as for the android market is sucks!!
[Kindle Fire General] SCrid2000:
I think the Kindle Fire is the best budget Android Tablet for people who want to use it with Amazon Prime.

For people who want to root it and install custom ROMs, I think the Nook is a better go.

I might get crucified for saying things like this, but for the price I think the BlackBerry Playbook is a better tablet than either.
[Kindle Fire General] shazbot:
I love mine. If you absolutely must have more space, you can always get a wifi drive like the Kingston wi-drive.

Sometimes I find myself wishing I had a microphone, but that's it really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dlu_tm:
I think there's a bug with ATT Galaxy Note's stock email app. Regular email attachments of word, excel, jpg, etc., all works ok. However, if email contain attached previous emails, then it does not show the attached previous emails.

I've gotten a few emails say... "refer to attachment" but I don't see it. When I download those emails in Outlook 2007, I can see the attachments are of previous email. Have anyone else encounter this and is there a quick fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes I have that too. So does my wife's skyrocket. If someone attaches an email j can't open it. Try Another email app and let us know if it does the same
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monstaX:
I just Odined back to stock. Ive only removed some uneeded apps. Is it possible theme the SystemUi.apk and the framework-res.apk that I can pull from my phone. It is a fully odexed EL30 stock Rom. I am rooted. Im scared to waste my time then having to have to restore a backup. Please I have little time!!!:)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
odex : No

deodexed: Yes

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monstaX:
Big Boron, Man you are always there to help. Thanks:)

Can I make it deodexed in anyway other than flashing another ROM?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes you can. UOT kitchen will theme some aspects of odexed ROMs. You need to pull the framework-res, systemui, and twframework and upload them to UOT kitchen and make you changes like battery and icons.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monstaX:

[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
AVAILABLE IN-STORES: April 9th (Closed Easter Sunday)

PREORDERS TAKEN: March 30th - April 4th @ 3:00 PM (IN-STORE) and Delivers by April 6th (Two Days Before Launch)

NOTE: Phone Requires LTE MicroSIM Card which will be included with purchase.

PRICING: $99.99 w/ 2yr agreement

Some states may have promotional pricing available until May 31st which is less than $99.99.

FYI: Preorders completed in-store can only be done on a new line or upgrade with a new 2 year agreement. No commitment pricing is only available with regular in-store stock after launch, cannot be preordered.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Deleted member 2842059:
Any mention of the off contract price?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I thought in their press release, ATT said $449
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
That is great news all the way around. Rogers might sell for same price off contract ?

Anyone in Buffalo willing to buy off contract for me from AT&T? I'm good for the money and will pay in USD$ or CAD$. I would want Cyan colour. And yes, willing to pay a small premium for your trouble.

PM me. Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] tai4de2:
Off contract --> still SIM locked. Are Nokia phones pretty easy to get unlocked? That's a great benefit of HTC -- very unlockable.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Deleted member 2842059:
No ****. That's a phenomenal price. Should be lower around the WWW.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
What is the source of this info? :D Thanks!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
me......... :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
Yes... many unlock companies out there. Unlocked my Lumia 710 with no issue. However, point taken... it may be a couple weeks before unlocking is possble and at a reasonable price. I paid $7 to unlock the Lumia 710 but yet a Samsung C414 clamshell phone cost $30 to unlock. Go figure.. the cheaper phone was way more expensive to unlock.

I would still like a Nokia Lumia 900 in Cyan whether it be an AT&T phone or Rogers. Looks like the Cyan is only in the USA.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
It sucks that I cant preorder the phone because I want no commitment. What difference does it make
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Will the Cyan be in stores for demo before preorder ends? I'm interested in the Cyan but every pic on the web looks like a different color. I'd like to see it in person before I commit.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I had not seen the multiple shades of blue until yesterday, when they showed in the new set of pics on the Nokia site. I agree, I'd like to see the offering in person. I heard that some stores have both on demo, but most only black.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ohitefin:
Anyone know what the deal is if you are 1 year in, into a 2 year contract, and want the Lumia 900?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
The only logical answer would be they let you upgrade early. Four months after I got my Samsung Focus on the original launch day 11/8/10 I was offered early upgrade to iPhone. I would think that they will let you upgrade early for their flagship device.

Also, I read some where else, (Can't find atm) that an At$t rep told someone there would be early upgrades for the Nokia Lumia 900.
[Nokia Lumia 900] binnym:
hey. does anyone know if best buy will have pre orders for Lumia 900
[Nokia Lumia 900] GuestK0040:
My Best Buy wont be doing preorders, just the regular launch. Hopefully your mileage varies.

[Nokia Lumia 900] Lmuggs:
I was checking att.com last night after midnight and noticed the "maintenance" message and assumed they were adding the content to handle pre-orders. But its still not available on the site yet. Might have to drop in on my local store and see whats up. That will also give me another opportunity to see the sales reps Lumia 900 ;-)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Andrmgic:
yeah.. I think I'll have to swing by ATT again this morning and drop a pre-order down on this thing.. Cyan lumia 900, here I come.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
AT$T manager told me preorders are in store only.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Rcf686:
I just got back from my local AT&T store and preordered a black one for my daughter and a Cyan for me. All the reps had them and all were very impressed.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Ok so I was told by the store that it's $99 on an upgradable line and $349 for an exceptional upgrade.

What doesn't make sense to me is the rumored off-contract price is $449. So, why would anyone even bother with the exceptional upgrade? Or is the off-contract pricing rumor inaccurate?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
just preordered mine from the store. They cannot order non commits during pre order, only new lines.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

They attempted to complete the preorder on the noncommit price for me. They quoted me $449. They tried all the tricks they knew, including entering serial numbers from devices in the back. But nothing worked. When they entered a new purchase, it was accepted immediately.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Yeah I know that; OP put it in the very first post. I was referring to the proximity of the exceptional upgrade price to the no commitment pricing.... If the difference is only $100, why would anyone go the exceptional upgrade route, except for the possibility of receiving the phone a couple days early?

Is the $449 off contract price just a rumor, or has this been officially confirmed yet?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Another thing, every Rep in the store had phones....no cyan ones, only black. Thats like 25 people. He said the Nokia team came in yesterday and handed one to everyone

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

I actually saw it in print, online, I could swear it was a press release...but now that you mention it, I can't be sure. I am sure of what Carlos told me this morning, as he was attempting to enter the no commit into the preorder format...and that was $449. 2 reps, one was the regular rep, the other looked like an mgr...some kind of corporate or regional guy. Both said $449.

The store I was at had brought in some greeters, taking peoples names, etc. I'd not seen that at AT&T before. I was there on the ipad launch, they didn't have that. When I said preorder, they did 1 click and opened the forms. I'd been in the store several times in March, the guy recognized me. I didn't even have to tell him my name...he just pulled it up.

Not sure about your question though. even at $349, that would be a hundred off....still would be a hundred off next sunday, so why not pre order now.

Just recieved my confirm from AT&T: Thank you for your recent AT&T order. Your equipment has been reserved and is expected to ship within the next 3 to 5 business days.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
I guess I'm just pointing out that if the $100 difference is true, I don't think getting hosed into a new contract is worth it. Normally, the no-commit pricing and exceptional upgrade pricing are much further apart, are they not?

IMO, if you don't have a new/upgradable line, wait until you can go into the store and buy it off-contract at launch, especially with the WP8 devices coming along before that 2 years would be up.... Exceptional upgrade in this case is pretty bad.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
yea the $349.99 is correct, exception pricing is available if you are 1. approved for this by a manager and 2. at least 6 months through your current contract and haven't had a previous exception upgrade in the last 12 months.

BONUS: If you live in new england the phone is only $49.99 in all at&t stores instead of $99.99 with 2yr agreement.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
And add the Walmart price to that too... $49.99

Oh ok....I see your point. To Phone Geeks I guess it doesn't matter....I'm getting a WP8 phone too...:o
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Thanks for keeping me in the loop At$t: :D

Back-Order = Pre-Ordered I assume.
[Nokia Lumia 900] skier06:
Yeah...just got the same email...hoping it doesn't mean anything
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Ditto, I talked to the folks at the store and asked about that and wondered if it was just due to the fact that this is a pre-order and not because they are actually out of blue which I ordered.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aimfire72:
I was able to preorder online at no commitment pricing last night. I am already a current customer, but did not qualify for the upgrade pricing. Just log in to your att account, click upgrade, and it will show you your options.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Dam...I never thought of that!! You're right!
[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
Same here was able to order thru online yesterday afternoon for no commitment price of 449 + tax. Initially went to AT&T store and they said they can't do no contract pre order. I'm 4 months into my current contract and the AT&T rep said if I'm 6 months they can do early upgrade price of $350. For me the no contact price of 450 is better than signing the 2 yr contract and paying early upgrade price of 350.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nokiaqueen:
why are people pre-ordering it from the store when you can get it for free online via AT&T website???
[Nokia Lumia 900] Lmuggs:
How do you figure its free via the AT&T website? nvm... maybe for new AT&T customers but not for upgrades.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
Im not an ATT customer yet, the salesman said I couldnt preorder the device under no commitment, so I ended up get the contract. Also wouldnt let me get my discount unless I signed an agreement
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
I only had the in-store options posted if you noticed, not online lol... they weren't originally going to have online preorders.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
True story, all company discounts require a 2 yr agreement.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Pizza4Breakfast:
Amazon has this for a penny ._.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
But still subject to the same conditions.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nextonline:
I need a special sim? So my current, standard on, will not work?
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
correct, uses the same SIM as the iPhone 4/4S and Pantech Burst. The LTE MicroSIM. It's smaller.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nextonline:
Damn, such a deal breaker :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Changing a Sim is a deal breaker? Why?
[Nokia Lumia 900] TheBDub:
Will it work with a regular microsim?
[Nokia Lumia 900] hiko36:
Did anyone in here get in on pre-ordering the Lumia for free on att.com? I pre-ordered in store and then got home and saw the offer. Immediately pre-ordered online and then called to cancel my in-store order which apparently you can't do. Also, it would seem that At&t doesn't allow customers to do more than one pre-order on a given device. So, my second order, which would be free, is going to get cancelled and my initial order will process through. Little upset about this but hopefully the rep that helped set me up in-store is going to come through for me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
That is a regular microsim, however it needs to support LTE....

FYI: LTE MicroSIMs just have the at&t globe on them, they do not actually say at&t on them. The ones that say at&t on them are 3G SIM Cards.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DanMc85:
Once an order has shipped it cannot be cancelled, but in this case since it hasn't shipped it technically can be but it is a pain to do.

The order would have to get cancelled, the pending DF changes need to be cancelled, and the upgrade needs to be reversed so you can redo it online. You maybe better off asking for a price match if a manager would approve it.

As far as I am aware that offer that is circulating is only free for new customers via that special promo link, so it might not even apply to you if you are upgrading.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nextonline:
Because I won't be able to use local sims when I travel.
