Who would be interested in misc. Android stickers?

I have access to a sticker machine and Im going to know around a few android sticker designs. I was wondering if anyone here would be interested before the stickers are made?
All different android styles, sizes from 1.75,3, 4, 6 and 10 inches. Prices will vary but shouldn't be more than 7-8 bucks MAX the smaller ones wont be near that, but possibly around 3-4 bucks. the more you buy the cheaper.
Again mainly checking on interest here. I have done deals in the past with 4-5 members and all went well. I have great 100% ebay feedback and I am paypal verified.
I would take payment thru paypal. If you're going to send it via paypal then add the 4% fee to the final cost. OR you can pay via paypal using their gift option ( it send money fee free! ) then do not add the 4%.

i loveee pics!

haha I havent done them yet. but i may just do them. Im sure people will pick them up here and there.

I'm interested. Are we talking like cheapo ones or badass super stickers?

Die cuts. Like basic ones but I mean its an android how much more badass can it get? haha. I mean I have like different ones in mind. ANd things Ive seen off line. When I get some I'll report back I will only have a few of each style.

I meant like the cheap ones that are like paper or badass like a bumper sticker.

This is important, because I have dollars and you have ideas. You might have some of my dollars if your answer to this is correct.

Its going to be on 10year vinyl. Its going to be android figures ( if you will ) They are going to be diecut stickers.

I would be interested for one to stick on the back of my phone. I have an Otterbox Commuter case, so it's pretty bland by itself. Of course, I'd probably buy 3 or more so I have replacements for when one wore out. I might stick one on my car as well...

I'm probably going to catch flak for mentioning "the enemy" but a nice, tasteful apple-esque sticker for my car would be sweet!

i thought that i had posted in here already, but anyways, let me know when i can buy some. =]

I would not mind rocking one on my motorcycle helmet! Put me down for some.

FLAK!!!! Maybe if It had a Android pissing on it!

Too bad this is illegal. I highly doubt that you have received the proper permissions to be reproducing the android name or logo in any way. Get caught doing this and it will cost you dearly.

Jerk.
10 char

I might be wrong (it happens!) but I don't think the Android droid is an official logo. I have seen the dolls all over and don't recall any flack.
He can always ask permission too..

it is an official logo but can be distributed as "free" but with a donation. basically selling it without officially selling it. nice little loop hole. =]

I stand corrected. But yes nice little loop hole!

For the record, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I own a graphics company myself and own several of these machines. I personally know a fellow who was selling copyrighted logos as decals online, and one of the copyright owners actually came forward to set an example of this guy and sued him for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and won.
Do as you wish, just giving you warning that just because others get away with this, doesn't mean you will do the same.

It's legal so long as you follow the rules of the creative commons:

[Q] Do you think there will be a 3rd party laptop dock?

Do you think within a month or two, 3rd party laptop docks are going to start showing up at a much cheaper price?

Dang it, I hope so. Or I'll be buying a Motorola one used eventually.

I hope so too. but really don't think so....hope I can buy a used one cheap on ebay or something

Same I would really enjoy the dock when I'm on the go but 300 bucks for it is a lot.

I hope so too. Either that or they need to lower the price on the official dock. Motorola needs to understand that they shouldn't be able to charge as much (or more than) a netbook price for what realistically is nothing more than a shell of a laptop. It just doesn't justify the $500 dollar price if you don't purchase the bundle.

Hopefully they will understand that once they see no one buying the laptop dock.

True. Yeah, there's no way I'll be buying one at $500. Maybe at $199 I'll consider picking one up new.

If Atrxi can sell like iphone, then the 3rd party laptop dock is possible. Otherwise, I don't think any company will take the risk to sell such a thing.

There is no way it is going to sell very well if the 4g speed problem isn't dealt with quickly.

That's on XDA. I doubt the public will know of that issue, they see 4G they are like oh fancy just like Apple's retina display marketing gimmick.

This is true; hell my friend that drove me to the store to get the phone the other day has an Epic 4G; I was messing with the phone to get Market enabled and she had 4G off; didn't even know what it did.
The main market of people picking this phone up are the people who need their phone to do practically everything.
If I worked at a desk in an office, at home, and other places, buying the phone, the laptock dock, and 2 regular dock bundles would make sense.

Talked to a cell phone rep... wasn't encouraging

My wife and I were at the mall today and I went into a Rogers store (Canadian cell provider), and was comparing the Focus to my Quantum.
A sales monkey came over to see if I needed help and we started chatting. I asked him if the wp7's had been selling he kinda laughed nervously and said he hasn't seen a rep sell one yet. He mentioned that one concern is the lack of multi-tasking. I kinda find that hard to believe. That used to be the rallying cry of all anti-apple people, yet they sold like crazy. And I've yet to see one 'in the wild'. Anecdotal I know, but kinda disappointing. I think it's a fantastic OS, I thought more people would be into it.

Many people are into it.
The sales man is only a sales man. He only wants to sell you what ever he thinks he can make money off.
As it stands the multitasking functionality is about the same as the iphone, but with MANGO on its way, that will be fixed.

Don't worry, generally sales rep don't know what they are talking about, they just know the basic/general stuffs.

If I'm the sales officer,I would not reckon this device to any customer,until 2nd gen of devices or mango are released.
@FooisM, most of the consumers not even know what is WP7,so,whats the point telling them about Mango?lol....
@JC_agga, yea true,they just know basic and general stuffs,that is what ordinary or normal customers want.

you have to do your own homework... sales ppl will sell u what they suppose to or get more commission or old stocks....
i changed 3 Bluray 3D DVD players in past 4 months, as i trusted the sales man....

Either that or what they know actually works and has full functionality. Just a thought.

Not around here sadly. From the few stores around my place, if you don't have an Iphone, that makes you an idiot to them.

To be fair even after all the debacle i've been through with my Omnia 7 I would still reccomend WP7. The OS is just fantastic.
Samsung phones however... I will not reccomend!

Agree perfectly!!!!!! OS brilliant! Samsung has let me downnnnn hardware problems to often!

I love my sammy Focus. When I went to the ATT store to get my wife the same phone, the salesman said good things about the phone, asked me about my experience. I didn't get any anti-wp7 vibe from my att store, but ymmv. By the time I decide to make a purchase, I find that I generally know a lot more about the items than the saleperson. Not always, not generally so.

In Portugal when I went to buy my Omnia 7in January the salesguy had a Mozart and he loved it, almost forced me into WP7.. LOL
No regrets about the OS nor about Samsung... My Omnia is running 7392 always officially updated and no problems so far...

Yeah, I don't know why ppl complain about Samsung. I think they're a great hardware company and I'm very happy with my Omnia 7. Before I had a Samsung Wave with bada, and it was nice too !! No problems at all !!
I didn't have any problems with the update on the Omnia 7 as well.

Well, if he is a cell phone salesman he is either very young probably not very knowledgeable or if older probably made a lot of mistakes in life to end up at that point.... In either event I wouldn't worry about it. Just enjoy your phone and rock on.

LOL that's horrible!

isn't this like letting a car sales man telling you what to buy? If you're going to lay down 500$ you better do your research before walking into any store (or you deserve what you get).

Best buy doesn't sell Windows Phone 7 phones?

I was at best buy and that's what the guy said. I used to use the Arrive but went back to Android and my mom has an Android phone. We were looking for another phone for her and a guy came up to this associate and asked if they had any windows phone 7 phones and he said they don't carry them in store but they could order him one if he wanted one.
That's messed up if Best Buy doesn't carry them in the store...because the average person won't just buy a phone without looking at it. I mean yeah, you have 30 days but most people would rather avoid the hassle. The associate's also don't know that much about the phones either and I mean, you can't really fault them on that if they don't all of the phones that they could possibly sell in the store... I just find that kinda weak.

90% of the time you get a better look at the phone in a carrier store than at lolBestBuy, anyways.
If you have a Best Buy there, you have carrier stores not far off. Go look at the phones there. They're probably the same price, too, in most cases.

worstBuy ain't worth **** anymore

Yeah, that is bad of BB. Oh well, I now know to avoid there on my next phone (barring something awesomesause comming out, it will be a windows phone).

Welcome to the world of anti-WP7 bias.

bestbuy has wp7 at all my local stores. I call fud.
only two devices, but they're on display and powered up, running demos which can be exited for normal use.

Best Buy around me carries them, all phones all carriers in the US that have WP7.

It is fud, because it makes a blanket statement based on anecdotal evidence. Some Best Buy stores don't stock WP7 phones, others do. That is a different statement from "Best Buy doesn't sell Windows Phone 7 phones" (which implies that it is a company-wide issue).
Ironically, it was a Best Buy store display (and a Best Buy employee) that convinced me to look seriously at WP7 in the first place.

Best Buy rarely has working models on the floor.

Best Buy's in Oregon have them, seen them at multiple stores

Yep, that's my point, exactly. People keep chiming in with "Best Buy does this" or "Best Buy doesn't do that" based solely on what they observe in their local store.
Best Buy is a large international chain of over 1,000 stores. While it is clear that some (possibly even many) of them are not giving WP7 a fair shake, that isn't true for all of them. As I already mentioned, it was a Best Buy sales drone who convinced me to even look at WP7 in the first place.

The title is wrong on every level. All best buys sell wp7 phones. Some don't carry models on the floor.
title should read, "my local best buy doesn't carry a wp7 model on the floor"

I find that most sales associates stand behind Android and feel that everybody should have one. Most are pretty bias and dont really take the customers use of the phone in consideration and they feel Android is the answer

Focus S & Titan...these things are expensive.

I am surprised at how costly these phones are!
Focus S $749.99
http://www.expansys-usa.com/windows-phone-7-smartphones/?filter=1|783|Samsung
Titan $674.99
http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-titan-windows-phone-7-5-smartphone-unlocked-black-221944/
Iphone 4S $649.00 16GB

I thought the Sammy would have been the least expensive. Guess not

Fixed. Thanks.

I'll be honest, maybe it's just me, but I find smartphones are wayyyyyyy overpriced. iPhone, Galaxy S, Titan. All of them.
Are they serious, charging $700 for a cell phone? Granted it's a cutting edge device capable of eons more than a computer 20 years could do. But still.
You can find used cars for slightly more than those prices.

I completely agree! Huge bucks!

Walked into a Bell centre yesterday and inquired about the Focus S. The guy there seemed to know what he was talking about and indicated that there will be some significant advertising in the near future announcing the new windows phones.
