Being a loyal sales associate at RadioShack, I figure that I'd tell you all that you can get these A2DP phones for half off their clearance price of $80 starting today and going through june 3rd I think. It's in store only, so no online buying and you gotta find a store that has them in stock. I bought these a couple of monts back when we sold them for $50 and I love them. They fold up and I got the full 300ft (yes 300, not 30) range away from my 8125.
For those of you with Ipods. We got a device to add A2DP through the dock connector for $25 (half off its clearance price of $50, originally $100) that you can use with the spiders too.
There is also a coupon for $10 off a $30+ purchase. Something they're doing for fathers day. Technically not supposed to be combinable with clearance stuff, but you may be able to do it. They usually keep extras in the store. You could go up to a clerk and say you forgot your coupon at home and ask if they'll give you another one or just ring you up with it. That'd bring the total for the headphones down to $30.
nice info, will check it out when i have time may be today.
Very good deal indeed. I went to check it out, it's available in Palo Alto CA store, it's a little too big for me (I already have an HT820)
I bought a pair of these...and all I can tell you is that they are absolute dogs when it comes to battery life. For the 10 minutes that they work...they sound pretty good...but the battery is total crap...
Fair warning..
Seen as it xmas time ive decided to treat myself,or rather treat my phone, ive picked up some good accessories at some good prices, some of you may already have these items but ive noticed they have gone down in price in the last 6 weeks.
I've purchased as follows....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BR2ZTM
excellent price for a 32GB SD card, Lexar like Sandisk are one of the leaders when it comes to SD cards.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU
I've already got a case but decided i like the look of this and at this price it's a bargain.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WMGI94
Original Sammy battery at this price = serious bargain.
hi dude not bad extras but
the sgs2 cae you linked isnt that cheap when you add the postage really it works out to like 6 quid odd and seems a bit of a rip off having to pay nearly 5 pounds postage for a really light case , infact i despise sellers that make their money by over charging on postage ebay stopped this ages ago!!! you can get sgp neo hybrids of ebay for less the 10 pounds with free postage
lexmar do make ok cards but i prefer sandisk and they can be had a pound or two cheaper the lexmars ive used have varying read/write speeds sometimes mega quick , sometimes mega slow , sandisk has always been more constant for me and reliable too
id also be a bit skeptical about that battery being genuine at that price , if it isnt genuine youve paid over the odds for a fake , if it is genuine its cheap , however its not sold by amazon so id be skeptical to say the least , if you notice amazon sell the same battery for £12 you can almost gurantee the amazon one will be genuine but the one from the seller you linked has no gurantee its genuine and he could just be selling good fakes
my best extras have been
#sandisk card at £26
#sgp neo hybrid for £8
#jvc earbuds for £15 (super headphones too)
#3 pack of matte screen protectors for £2.75
#genuine 2000mah battery £27
#genuine samsung desktop battery charger for £8
Where can you find the Sgp neo hybrid for £8, all the ones I have found have been around £19.99

you may want to look again mate
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WMGI94
It's sold by SAMSUNG so i would imagine the chances of it being fake are zero...as for the postage, the only thing i paid postage on was the case and it was still cheap, this case is still being sold in carphone warehouse for over £15 i seen it myself a few weeks ago, as for Lexar, i agree Sandisk are number 1 but Lexar are not far behind the the reviews for this are pretty much postive, a class 10 32GB card at this price IMO is a steal.

why does it say Samsung then on the clickable link, surely if this is a company called sky trading they could get into serious trouble for having Samsung on the page of the product
I may look into this further...

Must be made by Samsung. I always look for who is actually selling it. Also the first review doesn't look very promising, sounds like a fake in my opinion.

it clearly says sold by sky-trading mate that is why i said that it could be fake , what do you mean they couuld be in big trouble having a samsung clickable link on the amazon page??
if you bought it from samsung / amazon / play / mobile fun chances are it would be genine but lots of 3rd party sellers on these sites sell fakes so was just saying
hopefully yours isnt and everything is fine and hunky dory
edit
this user didnt think it was genuine though

Most of the reviews are good you are always going to get bad reviews on Amazon no matter if the product is 100% perfect.
I do believe it's genuine but certainly if it isn't ill be looking for a refund, as soon as i get it ill be testing it.
Just reporting back - the battery is definitely real, it's exactly the same as the one that came with the phone and lasts pretty much the same maybe a little longer.
The Lexar SD card is excellent and the read and write speed is impressive enough, and finally the mesh case looks really cool, if you are really obsessed about protecting your phone from damage this case isn't for you, however if you are careful with your phone and want it to look great this is thge case for you.
Merry xmas

I will be getting the lexar card, simply because it's a class 10 and is slightly cheaper than the class 4 sandisk. Also the battery CAN still be fake. The chinese guys go through a lot of work to make sure it looks identical but it can still be real. Only way to find out is to keep using it

What's up with the price change? Is there anything justifying the 470% price increase?????
Other than greed, I mean...
Anker battery, sold by 'authorized seller' on eBay; not even ten bucks:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-II-i9100-/220813288199
Same battery sold by same seller, much MUCH more expensive now:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-II-i9100-/330747106855
What's up with that? is it because the I9100 will be "phased out" or something? Isn't there an installed customer base huge enough for these guys to continue selling their batteries at an affordable price? I'm flabbergasted.....
-=-=-=-=-=-= Edit:
After having looked around a bit, to my great surprise, I was able to find this at $9 on Amazon.ca. I was VERY surprised since we, in Canada, rarely get the same deals as in the US... we always get milked with more expensive products, even of our dollar is at par with the US dollar. But this time, the price was the same.
Now the funny thing is, the Amazon.com and .ca seller is the SAME as on eBay; so he sells these babies $47 on eBay and less than ten bucks on Amazon. I do not understand it one bit....
wanted to buy this battery about a week or 2 ago and saw those prices on ebay, no idea why it increased that much so would like to hear if someone know

Your best bet is now Amazon.com or Amazon.ca... If you are luckily to be in the USA or Canada.
Other than that, the eBay prices are absolutely grotesque... :-\
NEW ROM will arrive people will buy NEW BATTERY instead of changing phone ! (It`s a 2 year old phone so battery will not last as new)
It's back down to $12 now, but I'd say they were low on stock so they jacked up the price for the last one or two units to avoid running out. Many online sellers do this for some reason, I guess selling out looks bad.
Hey the screen of my Nexus 5 just broke down the 2nd time a few weeks ago.
I have already replaced it once on my own last winter and i paid about 120€ for the whole replacement part (screen with frame and everything) but I don't want to spend so much money another time because I'd rather buy a new phone. Replacement screens on eBay start at about €105 + shipping ,but if anybody could tell me where I can get a replacement for a moderate price (about €70?) I would probably think about replacing the screen once again.
After some research on the internet i found some chinese shops on aliexpress.com who offer them for about €60 with free shipping (I'm living in Austria) but I'm not sure if these screens are OEM/good quality and I'm also not sure if there will be any customs duty if I order them directly from China to Austria.
For example this one looks serious to me: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-...exus-5-1pcs-lot-Free-shipping/1541156424.html (the part itself looks like the one I ordered the last one - some ohters on this shop are looking slightly different) but in the reviews some people say this one is not oem. Will I be able to use it normally with an european Nexus device?
This one for example says it is oem but doesn't have many reviews and is slightly more expensive: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-...-Touch-Digitizer-Screen-Frame/1584183589.html I think I'd rather pay some euros more and get an oem part but can I buy this part without issues (shipment, duty, etc.)?
Has anybody already made experience with one of those sellers and could recommend me one shop where I can get a good screen replacement (the whole thing) for a moderate price?
Have you tried out ordering there? Or did you go with a more expensive one?
Are the problems solved?
I lost mine last may and I f-ing miss it so much. They're actually £100 more expensive now than when I bought one!
Gotta use my old One X for now and it's driving me mad!
Anyone got something half decent to sell? Or anyone wanna sell their butterfly?
Hi Gixermouse, i have bunch of broken ones lol, this is my 3rd... I got discount from seller in Japan so it's 30% cheaper than my first one. I think Kyoto, Japan guy still has them. I think current price is aprox 350 usd.
Btw, I use now LG V30 which has snappy screen and better longer battery life - but lacks IR blaster, less water resistant (experience, not numbers), bad front camera, slippery toy. That Butterfly 3 was really ahead of its' time, and it's such pity they didnt make Butterfly 4 with some newer snapdragon and 40 Mpixels camera LOL
