Does anyone know where I can find a sandstone black back? I have the silk white and I want to switch to the sandstone. Any help would be nice.

If you add multi-touch select and custom color per-account to the stock OPO CM (AOSP) eMail client I'll give you the one off of mine. (never used it without a case and it's less than a week old currently).
The other thing I would like to see added is the option to block "Access Device ID" in the privacy settings. I see that the stock email client needs permission to access my device's ID and I neither understand why it would need that, nor want it to have permission to access it.
I only responded with those requests because I see you say you are learning coding. However, I have to assume it won't be too long until someone who's purchased a bamboo cover for their sandstone black model will offer to either give you theirs or sell it to you at a reasonable price.
Good luck and regards,
Christopher

eBay or aliexpress. eBay will probably be quicker if you order from within your own country, but aliexpress will probably be cheaper (but from China). Keep in mind that you can order simply the back, or you can order it with the NFC antenna. Without the NFC it'll probably be under $10USD, but more like $30 for the one with NFC installed.

When I say code I mean like C# and Web Development, I've not done too much with android outside of compiling from source using git. The device id part I don't understand that either, I mean it's AOSP and unless it's sending out user data then it shouldn't be a privacy issue.

So I got my hands on a Bamboo back-cover invite and mistakenly, like an idiot, claimed it to my account. Now, since this is claimed to my OnePlus account, I cant send the invite to someone else, but I dont want this invite to go to waste since alot of people do want the Bamboo cover. I have a wallet case for my OPO so I am still on the fence about changing the back from a Sandstone to Bamboo. Maybe buy it and ship it directly from OP to anyone who wants it as long you are willing to send me the $$ first on PayPal. Trying to see if this is something that will interest someone else, or I may just buy it and use it when I feel. No, this is not a scam.

Officially from OnePlus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8nF0eHL5cY
Everyone I know is pushing me to buy one but I will think about it till tomorrow. I would think it will be good for resale value right? What do you guys think?
I´m also interested in one haha you should buy it
checkout the OPO's on eBay. there are a bunch that are being sold with the bamboo on there. It's kind of hard to tell what true resale is though because of the hype/invite system. depending on when they axe it / when new phones come out it could drop fast unfortunately. If resale for max profit is your plan I'd get rid of it around feb right before all the new phones are announced.
If you sell it Im interested I would pay by paypal.
gimme!
I would love to buy it from you. let me know if u r interested

They do that to tease you, if you click add to cart, it will tell you that you need an invite. The cover was one of the big selling points for me, so the idea that they decided people couldn't be trusted to remove the back seems like a kick in the nuts! Especially when they are still allowing people to purchase replacement Sandstone covers. So they don't trust us enough to put on a Bamboo cover, but Sandstone is fine... what gives?

Check Expansys USA -- they have the 'Lava Grey' (i.e.: black) version for $210, with free basic shipping. 'Natural aluminum' (i.e.: silver) version is s'thing like $30 more. I'm posting this reply in a hurry, so no links -- sorry.

My N1 from Expansys has Build number A5FM401. Neither the tablet nor the retail box nor the packaging was shrink wrapped. Is there a reliable way to determine whether it had the TW version with Google Play straight from the factory or whether the software was altered after it left the factory?

Well, I can say that I'm quite happy with the Taiwanese N1 I bought from Expansys USA. It arrived brand-new in factory packaging and after the usual set up (plus some extra time required to get around the initial language barrier) works great...best $210 I've ever spent on an Android device.

Here's what I can tell you, from personal experience.:
• A5FM401 is the factory-installed build for Nokia's Taiwan release of the N1. Shortly after first login, the device will download several OTAs, culminating in Android 5.0.2 (A5FM51C).
• With my N1, the shrinkwrap had been carefully cut likely to open the box for inspection as noted in Expansys' catalog (e.g.: to check for damage and/or a US-type power plug).
• The tablet itself still wore the factory's wrapping. I carefully examined the polythene under bright lights (think C.S.I.: Android !), but saw absolutely no signs of tampering.
• From talking to several people who own the Chinese (PRC) model, nobody in their right mind would go to the trouble of re-flashing one to make it look like the Taiwanese part.
BTW: when I asked Expansys to verify Google's apps, s'body in the warehouse kindly sent a pic of a freshly unboxed/booted Nokia N1. Maybe that's the one you got?
Hope this helps a bit.

I'd like to hear your results, for sake of curiosity. Meanwhile, mine stopped at Android v5.0.2 -- I'm told this is the current final release for Nokia's Taiwanese N1.
To date, only their Chinese (PRC) part has been upgraded to 5.1.1, but since that OTA rolled out just a few weeks ago, I guess there's still hope for the rest of us.

I am happy with the Expansys unit as well, I was debating between the N1 and the new Asus zenpad 8.0 s which has the same processor and slightly better specs but costs more.. The N1 is much better looking and has stock Android which is a big plus.
I hope they will keep on updating it, eventually to Marshmallow, since after all it's stock Android...

It's very helpful - thank you. The info about the build number suggests that the software is original. Someone here said their tablet was rooted, but I suspect they were mistaken. I missed the part in Expansys' catalog stating that they open the boxes for inspection, that makes it much less suspicious.
The tablet is impressive for the price. Build quality, thinness, performance, wireless specs, battery life. I guess that's why I'm questioning - because it looks like it falls into the "too good to be true" category.
Would love to buy a docking station that takes full advantage of the Nokia N1, whatever it offers from the Type C port out of the box or can be hacked. This press release for a dock reference design specifically mentions the N1 tablet, but I suspect because it was one of the earliest devices and not because the dock is optimized for the N1.

Yeah, I'd say he's simply wrong. And I'm a careful guy -- first thing I did after I got my new N1 running was to install AIDA64 (a free HW-analysis app; look for it in the Play Store). It confirmed that the device was not rooted.

Expansys append something like that ('Note that the box will be opened...') for a large number of listings. I guess we can assume they get their stock from a wide variety of sources and under varying circumstances.

Yep, that would be a neat accessory, for sure. Well, you never know; it's pretty clear Nokia see their future with Android devices, so maybe we can look forward to an upgraded 'N2' tablet, using the same shell.

Couldn't agree more.
The N1 is delightful in it's simplicity, with vanilla Android and elegant design. Nokia took the iPad Mini's basic look and improved it; rounding those famously 'chamfered edges' gives much better feel in the hand.

I couldn't find them anywhere else and actually contacted the seller if he still had some. So these are probably the last ones he has and which you can get easily and cheap.
Just received my chrome E6853 from Amazon, courtesy of the "High Voltage converter store". My concern is that the box was not wrapped/sealed. Everything looks legit though, such as the plastic on the front and back, accessories. However, when powered on, it seems that it had been powered on because it went straight to the home screen, bypassing the setup process. Also, not sure if its normal, but there are a couple of apps that have Chinese or Japanese fonts, thus IM not sure what one of them was. One was MZ+, which is in the play store. The other I couldnt figure out, other than it was a robot icon . Also the language was set in Japanese.
Anyone else get an open box, or similar apps? Maybe it was customs? Phone is working great, has no flaws. Also, taped to the box was the adapter for US power outlets, which I didnt need. View attachment 3643423 Anyone know what app this is? Thanks
I would, just for security purposes and privacy concerns, factory reset it. In case they installed any apps that have permissions that could have access to personal information, I would factory reset it. My 2 cents

I agree, and once I got the language set to English, I did do so! I wanted to make sure the phone had the setup procedure(never ordered an international phone before) like Android should. Thanks!
You have the Taiwan Version of the phone.

I have the same version and I had the setup process. Mine was a sealed box from Expansys.

Here is the response from the seller- it does make some sense, especially with Tidbits comment.
Hi
Sony international do not seal there products. We assure you that the phone is BRAND NEW. The only reason they turn on the product is to switch the language. We are sorry that it wasnt changed. We can help you change the language can you please provide us a phone number so we can help you change it.
