[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] craighwk:
I'll share my purchasing experience today which was pretty amazing. Went into a local TMobile store and I am a brand new customer. They had the grey model in stock for $249 + $20 a month until paid off. They offered a $100 mail in rebate, which they take care for you in the store so all you have to do is wait for the check to arrive (4-6 weeks).

Can't believe how good of a deal this is. Plus I can pay off the phone at any time and be eligible for an upgrade. This is great for tech geeks like me who go through 3 phones a year. ;)

Couldn't happier with the device so far. It's amazing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Baratheonist:
Just got mine- $650 full retail at a T-mobile store. Still can't complete an order online at the T-mobile site so I decided to head out. The store had dozens in stock, all titanium grey. Even the mall T-mobile kiosk had 8 units. If you reside in the SFO bay area and are still looking for 1 desperately- I'm talking about the Newpark mall in Newark.

Quick question: What color is your data cable and charger for your grey titanium GN2? Mine that came in the box are colored white, while my unit is grey. Obviously a packaging mistake- I'd like to think. But the sales rep wouldn't want to open the other sticker-sealed boxes just to check. He claims that's probably the way the manufacturer intended it to be. Although he agreed if I can prove/show that the cable and charger should be black/grey, he will readily exchange it for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] craighwk:
Mine are all white as well. Picked up in Denver, CO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dan37tz:
My international Note 2 Titanium came with a white Charger and USB cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] csmits:
No packing mistake. Charger, cable and headphones are all in white. For the grey and white version.

Is also the case for the international version n7100.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Baratheonist:
Thanks for your responses on the color mismatch.

I personally prefer the same color shades. Looks like I'll keep my GN1's black charger and cable then sell it off with the GN2's whites. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xpprofessional1:
all the cables

are white, my is white too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis93:
Went to my tmobile dealer and almost bought one off contract. They only have the grey and I don't like the back cover very much on the grey ill wait till I can find one of the white ones.

According to the tmobile rep "samsung only sent out 3 white ones to miami". I went to two different tmobile dealers and they both had 4+ of the grey model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] namelessname:
Just Ordered

Just ordered mine for $269 :victory: . Rep on the phone said outright it would be $549 and I had a $280 credit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slap-Yourself :):
Wait. What? $549?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jawang26:
Went to the tmo store to check it out and fell in love with it...but wanted white, good thing they only had grey cause went on wirefly and got it for 280 no tax :)...was upset that tmo's price was so high vs other carriers but really happy now!

Wirefly - 280

2 Day S/h- 7.99

288 total :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] namelessname:
Yes, I called customer service and asked about it. They give you a different price if you go to the store.

Edit: Ended up not getting it for that price, it was a mistake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bapurado:
so how much was it for full retail? i thought it was 650 but when i went to the tmobile store they tried to charge me 700 + tax +microsim card so it would be almost 800 for the phone. wtf?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
It's supposed to be $650 + Tax and a microSIM comes inside the box...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bapurado:
wow ok. i guess the guy was trying to pocket a little cash then or he was just a complete idiot. thank god for this forum otherwise i mightve bought it without knowing the real price. needless to say i came home empty handed but wallet still full. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kwiggington:
Sigh i wanted this but to pricey for me :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slybarman:
Is that the value plan price?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbkkt1:
Probably will wait a few days, the is always some fool with buyers remorse after the 14 day return period.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
No that's the classic plan, if you want the value plan price, go to a T-Mobile store and you'll pay $250 down and $20 over the next $20 months... or pay $650 outright for it.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm in the same situation... my store is reserving all new phones for upgrades and new contracts... until they get "regular" stock... =.=
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] witeboy07:
Somebody give me the full price with taxes please..I'm selling my s3 and want to know how much I might need to put in..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Baratheonist:
$649.99 + 56.87 (8.5% CA sales tax) = $706.86

GN2 16GB full retail price, no contract
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slybarman:
I think I am going to have to ***** at T-mobile corporate accounts for not giving me the best price then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis93:
What if I'm not available for upgrade until march of next year would I still get that price?

How much do they sell it without contract for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankd14321:
Just ordered my white one from T-mobile at 6AM with Overnight shipping.

Total was 514 with tax and upgrade fee and I was due for an upgrade. I get a 50 dollar MIR and i'm selling my One S which will bring around 300 profit.

So all in all it should cost me 150 bucks..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] recepo1:
Sold my original note for 400 and payed full price 700 after taxes but worth the extra 300
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:
Anyone who gets a T-Mobile Note 2 from here will be able to get it for $299.99 Tax Free.

If you get it before the end of the month, PM me with your order and I can get you an aditional $3 rebate for upgrade or $10 rebate for new lines.

Can anyone who bought this from the Tmobile store comment on the availability of accessories? Do they have the official flip covers for sale in store? TIA!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
I went to two stores and I didn't see any, you can, however, buy international accessories as they should work, just as well.

Samsung USA doesn't even have the flip covers or stylii yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:
They have the pens as of last night. They are waiting for their Promo to expire more than likely before they take off a lot of their backorder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Interesting they only have the white pen, the "black" one with eraser is still back ordered and the regular black/gray one is MIA.

Anyone know if the black one with eraser fits in the slot as the regular one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:
Anyone try the screen recorder? I am surprised no one mentioned it working or not on US variants.

GNII backordered

Called my order in to Tmo yesterday, was promised that it would ship same day. They didn't. Called them today, and they apologized, but no dice. On backorder indefinitely. How do they run out in one day? Didn't they learn anything from the original Note?

--Update--

Just as fast as my hopes were dashed, they are back up again. I checked the site and it has shipped! The communication has been a real concern, but I'm happy it's on the way.

Got mines today (finally!) for $710 (darn 9.75% tax in CA), it's awesome :D. Hit 16mbps in the Bay Area, my roommate's SGS3 hit 18 right next to me, so... a little sad about that, although I was playing with enabling and disabling the radios.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
is there no mail in rebate on those of us that had an existing contract? considering i spent ~500 to get the thing on contract i feel like i should go back to the store and just buy the thing outright so i don't have to extend my contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slybarman:
Darn hurricane kept UPS from delivering my Note today. :( Argggggh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
You should cancel your Classic Plan and just go onto the Value Plan and pay for the phone outright. That's the best deal (unless you're on a grandfathered plan with awesome perks like $10 texting for family and $10 unlimited data)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] diego1985:
Wouldn't the prepay plan be better minus the Taxes they include in contract?

Hey guys, does this have 3G capability, how can I tell if it does, is it another model?

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C...228&sr=8-3&keywords=asus+transformer+infinity

Also do you suggest me to look at another tablet before this?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
No, it is not 3g or 4g. If it was it would say so in the description.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nope, no 3g. It's a 64gb model (more problem). I suggest you to get a 32gb model ( a lot cheaper) if you decided to go with Asus transformer Infinity. If you want a smooth working table try the Galaxy tab 10.1, this one will have lower resolution screen + less bell and whistles than the Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
No 16gb Infinity

FYI, the Infinity comes in 32gb and 64gb, not 16gb. My 32gb Infinity works fine. No lags, or other issues.

It walks my dogs, makes coffee for me, gives me recommendations for the best stocks. I've made millions in the last month thanks to my Infinity. :rolleyes:(Obviously the previous two sentences are complete fabrications).

Seriously, its a great tablet with an awesome screen. :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruzzah:
Thanks, I'm looking for a tablet that will play games really well, and give me a relatively long battery life when just browsing internet or such, I was comparing this to the Galaxy Note 10.1, however the specs of this has made me change my mind completely, as it's much more faster too.

I can't seem to find a 16GB model that you have mentioned,only seeing a 32GB and 64GB

Thank you for your quick responses guys!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Sorry, it's my typo, there is no 16gb. Only 32gb and 64gb. Get the 32gb. This device can hook up to your external usb hard drive where you will have plenty of storage space.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruzzah:
Is amazon a good place to buy this, because I live in Australia and I'd probably end up paying $800 for this tablet which is around $488
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Do you have Best Buy in Australia??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruzzah:
No we don't. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
It's simple to see:

TF700T = Wifi only

TF700KL = 3G/4G LTE

If you want both 3G and gaming, you're not going to find it. The 3G variant comes with the Snapdragon Dual core, NOT the Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad core (which is for gaming).

Asus site:

Qualcomm® MSM 8260A Snapdragon™ S4 Krait Dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU (3G )

NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 Quad-core T33@ 1.6GHz (WIFI)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruzzah:
Nah no worries man, the only reason I wanted to see if it was 3G is so I can find a cheaper version, I can't afford to pay another $50 for only 1GB of bandwidth per month here, it's just not on.

Thanks though.

The provided link above doesn't work... I'm guessing that it's Ansar's SLSPL rom to downgrade from 5.xxx

The SLSPL rom is for Europe devices ending with firmware .401, yours is .707 which is HTC Asia operator, so it won't work on your device.

For your device with a 5.xxx BL, these are the only methods you can use to downgrade -

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephanV:
So, I've just gotten myself a Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100 running stock - well, touchwiz - 4.0.4), but for some reason I can't figure out I can't get past the Warning screen when entering download mode.

I've done the 3-key combo, but when I see the warning screen the volume up button just doesn't do anything, whilst volume down responds perfectly well and reboots the phone. However, when booted, the volume up button doesn't have any issues. I'm puzzled, and can barely find any information regards this issue.

This phone is still completely stock, I haven't rooted it or anything. I was just following the guide on cyanogenmod (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide) and entering download mode is one of the first steps.

Any help much appreciated!

[Asus Transformer TF700] almightytaek:
Last night I dropped my TF 700 about 5 feet onto concrete floor.

It was working fine right after the drop, but the screen panel ('Gorilla Glass') was popped out a bit and one

corner of the frame was severely dented. But the worst part is that I thought I could fix it on my own.

So I disassembled my TF 700 following the 'TF 700 Teardown Tutorial.' I was able to fix the dented aluminium backplate

(I ripped off the warranty seal during this process though).

After this I reassembled the tablet and everything seemed fine at this point.

However, when I tried to turn it on, the screen display wouldn't turn on. I know that the tablet is still functioning because

when I connect it to my PC, I can see all the files saved. But the screen is completely dead.

I'm pretty sure that this is because I accidently bent some cable component that connects the LCD panel to the mainboard

(the flat cable thing that is made up of copper fibers). Upon closer examination, it looks like the bent cable is preventing some parts from

connecting to each other (please see the picture attached). I really need this tablet and I'm here to ask you what I could do to fix this.

Where should I go and how much do I have to pay to replace/fix the bent cable? Or even better, where can I get the new back-plate? Cuz mine now looks terrible..

Desperately waiting for some advice...
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
Ouch! Tough break. Unless you have insurance, shed a few tears, bury it quietly in the backyard behind the garage, and buy a new one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
If you do not have an extensive warranty, you'll probably lose about as much money repairing this unit as when you'd buy a new one (it sounds pretty bad, judging from your story). It might be better to bite the bullet, as BTrack proposed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Hard for me to see what happened by the pics.

Someone had post sometime back that they were parting out their broken Infinity.

Maybe the search can turn up the thread.

Glad I've had a folio around mine.

Banged it a few times being careless.

I feel for ya...hope you can find a fix.
[Asus Transformer TF700] C4RB1N3:
Ouch, unless yo have insurance I think you may be out of luck. I know Asus will fix tablets with " costumer induced damage", but they charge for parts and labor. And it looks like it would cost more to fix than buying a new tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tbtaf:
.Just an off the wall idea, you might try sending a PM to someone who has bricked their device and see if they want to sell it. You might be able to pick up the case and connector that way
[Asus Transformer TF700] jallweiss:
I had a drop onto tile with my first prime.

My AMEX covered the cost but they made me send it to Asus (even after getting an estimate) instead of just refunding the money like they had on some previous items. When mine dropped it was just the front glass that cracked all the way across, as well as the aluminum body being deformed. The touchscreen was working, screen worked, device was fully functional. The final repair + shipping came to around $378, and that was still a functional (though sharp, pointy and ugly) device when it got to them. If you bought it on a credit card you should check to see if they have any kind of accidental coverage. Good luck

Well thanx a lot guys..

Thank you for all your help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] RussellEstridge25:
Why don't you try taking it apart like you initially did, buy a bricked one and try to fix it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
You could sell it to me so I don't have to disassemble a fully working one to play with hardware ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
I had dropped mine off a table onto a concrete as well. About the distance too. Hit right in the corner of the power button. The glass held up well. The metal bent up and plastic completely cracked through. I was able to squeeze it back together, but was still bent up. It still was functional.

I was did an a-hole move. Since I did it a week after receiving from Amazon, I told them it came damaged, but packaging was fine. They exchanged and not a problem.

You could try exchanging it from where you got it. Another option, there are aftermarket warranty services that you may be to use if you got recent enough. Some allow you to get purchase within thirty days of purchase.

Although, my guess, you probably past that time. I would suggest trying to fix it again. At this point, you have nothing to loose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Send it back ta Asus for an estimate to repair. Ya never know, you might get off with a cheap fix.....worth a try.

Nexus 7 is ok. All I don't like is the display quality which looks washed out. Aside from that I am very happy with it.

16GB is fine.

You can always buy a USB OTG adapter for the Nexus 7 which is available for 5 dollars maybe. Then you can attach every external hard drive you want...

Or you could buy a Seagate Satellite External Hard Drive, which uses Wifi and has 6 hours battery life I believe.

My Nexus 7 display is not very bright outside, I think my Google Nexus is much better, which uses AMOLED. I think the acer will be around the same for this.
