Thinking about getting rid of the ol' A100

I'm one of those guys that churns a lot--I always need something new to tinker/tweak-- so the lack of CWM (and ROMS by proxy) on our tabs is getting to me.
Anyway, I'll probably be putting it up on eBay and Craigslist soon. What should I ask for it?
-8gb A100 in perfect condition (and with original packaging)
- the Blurex leather case on Amazon (and as seen in the Accessories sub-forum)
- an HDMI-to-mini hdmi cable
- a 32gb micro SD.
Think I could get $300 for that package?
Should I wait 'til Acer updates it to ICS?

I think you will probably have to go lower but you can always list it at that price first specially on Craigslist cause they ALWAYS try to haggle pricing. As far as price standpoint the acer can be had for $249 at best buy, sears, and kmart online. I'm sure stores are the same. 32gb I've see go as low as $29 online. HDMI cable can be had for $10 at amazon for a 15 footer. Cases can be had for $10-20 on amazon as well.
so 249+29+10 or 20 = 290 or 300 (all new)
For the most part most dont really consider tax unless you point that out.

Damn, you're right--when'd they drop to $250 in stores??
I might just have to keep the thing.

I know it sux. I myself ended up returning the one I bought from frys black friday which cost me $275 (250+tax) and ended up buying one on craigslist for $250 just to save $25 so I wont lose so much later when I sell it. But you never know, you could get lucky and someone might not even know theyre going for 250 now.
Also at this time I don't know of any other 7 inch tablet that can compete with the a100 including its price point besides on battery life. What other tablet were you considering?

Also curious as to what other 7" tablets are out there that can compete with the A100 in terms of hardware and also have custom ROM's.

For a similar price range hes probably has to settle for a Flyer. Which I read is a great device even on single core since its running at 1.5ghtz and has custom roms and great battery life. But may not see ICS and might not multitask as well as dual core.

Oh, no other tablet on the market can touch the A100.
I just find myself reaching for my HTC Desire when I want to fritter away some time and figured I might see if I could get some money back for now and see how the tablet market looks in a year or two.

Are you in nyc I will give you 200 just for the tablet

You probably won't find a lot of ROM work right now on many devices as ICS is a short time away. A lot of devs are not using the time to work a ROM for HC only to turn around and re-work for ICS.
I had an A100 for about two weeks and truly liked the device. Returned it due to battery life, minimal internal storage and IMO very challenging viewing angles.
Got the Samsung Tab 7.0+ and must say it rocks! No ROMs yet but root and CWM available. Pricey, yes. But on track for ICS and the specs are excellent. Best 7" tab available right now IMO. But only till the Samsung 7.7 releases. The Super AMOLED display is killer from what I hear.

Just curious, where are you getting this tablet in the US for anything less then $330? BB has no stock and will not NOT let you order online. They show no date for inventory either. Amazon is the only place I found for this and the price has fluctuated in the last week between, get ready, $460 and $330. It is now at $330. Everywhere else online I try says out of stock. This tablet sells for more then its bigger brother a500.

BestBuy currently shows $249 "in stock" at my nearest store, 92691 zip code. (Out of curiosity, last week it showed in stock at multiple area stores at that price, so I guess they do move pretty quick.)
Of course, I bought mine on Black Friday for $189, getting there late morning without much of a crowd nor long lines. In fact, I went in thinking about a $200 deal on a Blackberry Playbook or Kindle Fire, but seeing the A100 for ten bucks less was a no-brainer.

Sorry man, I'm in the mid-west and not really looking to part it out (I think it makes the most sense to sell it as a package).
Mods: I really just posted this to gather information--if this has crossed the line into 'advertising,' don't hesitate to move it to the XDA Market section (or just delete it).

I've seen them go in and out of stock at local Walmarts and BestBuys for the $250 price. If some one really wanted one, a little bit of daily checking stock and willingness to drive could probably get one for $250.

You can also try craigslist.

Got mine at Microcenter in Cincinnati for $229, minus $100 gift card, $129 out the door. Best purchase of the year.

i will sell mine as well since i cant install rom on it
kinda pissed me off since acer doesnt give a flying **** about this tablet.
280 you can get mine barely use it. come with case and a 16GB

At least wait for iCS love then sell it

Galaxy Wonder The Forgotten Phone

Why is it that I feel that SGW is somehow being phased out. A 1.4 Ghz processor phone but no ICS Support. It is not very much talked about nowadays which is a little understandable because of new phone releases. But what's worse, in our country (Philippines), price went down by almost 5,000 pesos. That's more than 100 USD and it's cheaper than Galaxy Ace!
I'm getting very much dissapointed buying this phone

i can relate
been to glorietta 3 days ago to find the phone (SGW) i bought just this december is already on sale at 12k (much to my dissapointment),gawd i spent 17K+ for this.. the only explanation i got (from the samsung saleslady) was that they are trying to compete SGW with nokia's lumia hence the price slash..

It's the first time for me to buy an expensive phone, and also is the first time I saw a phone price drop in less than 2 weeks, and its one hell of a drop..
What's to compete with Lumia anyways, Symbian always fail to defeat Android.
It shouldn't have been the price that was changed but the features i.e. ICS official rom..
No respect to the first customers who bought the phone.
Now when I look at my phone, I find it not unique anymore but a stupid rubbish.

Please dont be disappoint, we already have CM9 here, and more builds/ports are in pipeline, trust me. its an amazing phone.

Guys, believe me, there is nothing to be disappointed with in the Wonder......
It is a super phone, and it is far from being forgotten....
there is a very active Dev community,
and peeps who are willing to help in any way, to make users experience better.
Also, just to compare our Wonder with the Ace, here is a comparison from Gsm Arena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4114&idPhone2=4397
I for one am glad I have the Wonder, and of course we do have ICS, in the form of CM9, now in Alpha 2, from Arco, Dev extraordinaire!!!!

A 1.4GHz CPU Powered..with tweaks available here....I guarantee no regrets whatsoever....

so you saw the price at cmkcellphones Pogi ? xD jajajja i was disappointed too i was planning to sell this phone but i was too late ( although im planing to buy s advance ) :| and this is my first time to buy expensive phone :| but they markdown the price.....
Moral Lesson i learn is to wait until they markdown the price jajaja or see the review of other people.

Yes I know there's nothing really to be disappointed of if we are looking at the bright side, but I ain't . I wonder if the downprice would hit the market. It seems even with this low price, W is still very unpopular. Lacks advertisements I guess.
Actually I bought this phone second hand just recently for 11 thousand pesos. (Just a week before the down price). I wonder if he foresee that there's gonna a be a price bargain. Anyway, looking forward to master Arco's success.

Because of similar sets from Samsung, no one set in middle range is getting popular.
But there is chance if the the W prices are going down, then lot of people will but it resulting in a bigger community and more development.

Samsung need not be threatened by Nokia's Lumia since it is a Windows phone. Android is more friendly due to its ease of use and due to mods mainly developed by people in this community.
I have been in a mall last weekend and Samsung released a dual core phone much like the Wonder in size and appearance, also in the original price range of the Wonder. That may be the reason for the price drop.
Didnt get much info though since I am not interested in getting a new phone at the moment.

look to it another way...
that price drop will cause more peeps to buy it and so there will be more users...
more user means more chance to get more support to this phone
i bought my G'W last december and here they are still arround 300 euro (17.000 pesos)
and for me it's still 300 euro worth

From his description, a recently released Samsung phone, pricing somewhat close to W's original release price, looks a bit much like W, and has a dual core processor, i'm pretty sure its galaxy S Advance.
Maybe the lesson here is, if your gonna choose a Samsung phone, don't settle for mid-range.

ajajaja agree too maybe i gonna wait 1 year before buying a samsung mobile phones

I was browsing the net today, when i stumbled across a new phone from HTC. The Desire C. Rubbish phone but...ICS! That's insulting! Check it out on gsm arena (it won't let me post external links yet xD)

yeah maybe its price dropped but if your only for a bit gaming and some browsing but more on texting, music and videos then definitely its the perfect phone, not the expensive, got a decent processor and more for only a cheap price. before buying a phone we must consider first on what we really want to do and if we can use its full potential, for me i wont buy S3 coz first its too much expensive now, there are many interface i find useless here in our country, and my lifestyle wont fit on that phone.

LG G3 worth?

I'm about to buy an LG G3 for 350 euros. (16 Gb, black)
I don't want to buy another mobile phone within at least 2-3 years as I'm starting high studies and I won't have much to spend then, but I really need a mobile that can handle everything and can last a lot.
Do you think it's worth it or is there another mobile coming soon that's better? Is it going to be supported by the community for a long time?

One can always wait for the next great product.
If you like the features then get the phone. It has gotten good reviews and has a good reputation here.

Go for it. This phone should last you the amount of time you want it to without it feeling outdated by the 1 year mark. Hard to say what will be our in 3 years but I plan to keep mine for to better part of 3 years.

I'd wait and see if there's gonna be a new nexus phone with L or go for the N5. This phone lags sometimes, has pretty low development activity (yeah, I know the reason, no complaint but a fact). After my nexus 4, I should've gone with the N5. The G3 is an okay phone in my opinion and looks sexy but the wow factor is missing for me...

The phone is great ..... but its really what you want your phone for and whether it fits those particular needs, I'm afraid there is no absolute answer, its about your needs and whether this phone fits them or another is more suitable.
I would advise research and checking it out and the competition, sorry no easy answers.

I'll try to tell you my history, from a person that doesn't change their phone every 3 months, or.. in a better way, a xda-user exception.
Got the Gnexus almost on the end of its lifespan (4 months before Nexus 4 release). It lasted 2 years when I gladly changed it to LG G3.
I saw a lot of reviews to after choose LG G3. What you will see outside is questions about the battery life due to the "unnecessary" QuadHD display.
Having a Gnex for 2 years is undoubtedly a nice school for battery life and screen on time use...
I really don't care about that after having that phone for 2 years.. and in every aspect besides battery life, LG G3 wins (for me).
So, tl:dr, buy it without doubt, grab a spare battery if you care so much. The design and the display of LG G3 destroy every other phone released till today.

Well, yeah, if you can't wait, go into a shop and try it, play around with it and decide how it feels for you. At end it's gonna be u using it I'm not happy with it but I'm okay with it personally. Only reason I got it is that I broke my nexus 4 and got a good deal on it from my SP. Otherwise I was thinking about ordering a nexus 5. Had it in my hand, used it before, I just simply love nexus phones for aosp android, quick updates knowing Google is behind it and if they screw something up in the software they will be quick to release a fix while manufacturers won't be, and to be honest they make shifty UI except Sony imo but I had 2 Xperia phones, both were flagship devices and both sucked.
But as said before, it's your own personal preference. Try it in a shop and you'll see it for yourself. It looks really sexy with the huge display with the tiny bezels and reminds me of the nexus 5 a bit as well. Though I miss my aosp android experience and the quick updates. I however appreciate for instance the IR control and the camera.

The Note 3 was announced early last September and released at the end. Samsung staff have been told there's going to be no annual leave around the middle of Septemeber, the correlates to what happens around their releases. There's no way they'd wait over a month from when they announce to being on sale.
The G3 struggles with the 801 powering it. Check out the videos of a comparison of the G3 805 Vs G3 801. Check out the articles on Samsung's new QHD screen technology also,it uses less power. There may be other better phones out later this year or next but it would be mad to buy an 801 QHD phone when the other major companies are about to release their 805 versions.

Just out of interest, would that be a grey import? The cheapest I can find in UK which is probably imported from EU is £390 which is about 480 Euros. Or is it second hand? Makes more sense if it is the latter.

We just have to make sure that doesn't happen in that case...

Yeah I kind of hope someone find a workaround for that luckily I'm on tmobile and don't have to worry about that

You are complaining because of the price differences because are currency isn't worth as much as theirs?

I can't wait to get this phone!

In 3 months it will be £400 just like the s6. It won't sell at those prices. Samsung can't be trusted

It cost's really less in the area where I live...

Its not worth it anymore, in 2 months the phones will be on craigslist. Android phones come out too fast and they don't hold their value.

They are much cheaper on handtec!

God damn it people!
You lot all buying this gives them the ammunition they need to keep on selling at these crazy flipping prices!! And who are we kidding, of course it'll sell.
But Iive in hope, Samsung are losing more market share due to these budget phones becoming more popular. But Samsung have never been good at hearing their customers

It would indeed be folly to write this mobile is not expensive, it is but so are most quality things in life?
Spend a little get a little back, Aston Martin are expensive as are numerous other uber cars. Consider the specifications and materials used with the Edge+. Again I am not suggesting its a cheap mobile but has Apple ever been cheap? Apple are the richest company on earth and though they do indeed make a superb product they are generally not so well specified as other flag ship mobiles.
I own the latest Apple iPhone and though it is a thing of beauty the actual specs are years behind the normal S6 that I also happen to own.
The micro engineering and development costs that go into the new generation of flagship Samsung are what bought me back to them after a long break, When I think how Samsung sold us plastic metal, plastic leather and plastic stitching I have no problem paying a premium price for a premium device. I sincerely doubt one could refer to the new flagship range of Samsung's as anything other than premium devices.
I think the S6 is a superb mobile and for the lower price is leagues ahead of its Apple counterpart. I dread to think what the cost of the new iPhone will be? Still they are again a premium mobile, heck they may even place a HD screen in the 6S?

Personally I thought the device is expensive but after using it for a week I don't regret my purchase. In mobile world we can't really keep up with new technology in 6 months your device is outdated something new will and you if compare you'll always regret it. If the device and it's features makes you happy then that's all it matters. If you are worried about the price go for different one there a tons of devices that offers fairly good features with much less cost like One Plus etc.

The good thing is that mobile technology has pretty much peaked over the last few years or so, so if you buy an edge+, you're probably good to go for the next 3 years.
Gone are the days of ground breaking new features and big leaps - It's just same sh*t different year - There's only so much you can shove in a phone.
I upgraded from a Note 3 to this as my contract ran out and to be honest, the screen is a bit better, sure it's a bit faster, not hugely though - The biggest change is the camera which is a lot better. I did a side by side comparison last night, clearing the ram of both handsets and launching things and there wasn't a massive amount in it at all. I don't understand why people buy outright then sell a few months later when the next thing comes out, such a waste of money when you're getting pretty much no improvement over the last model.
Had I not come to the end of my contract I certainly wouldn't have bothered. It's a bit better, but not £750 of better.

Thinking of getting a second hand Tab S for a younger relative, any thoughts?

It's hard to find an affordable tablet that has a decent spec, also trying to find something with 4g as my young relative doesn't have a phone but uses a tablet (and wants to keep dong so).
Would anyone advise against getting a refurb / second hand one of these for her? The specs look great and people seem happy with it, but it is pretty old.
Thanks!

I love my TabS 8.4 it's still going even after god knows how many years but it is slow, much slower then tablets that are 2 or 3 years old. Personally I would go for a Tab A 10.1 much more modern, much faster and more up to date OS plus they also do a 4G version too. They can be purchased really cheap second hand, my local Game store in the UK have one for £150 with 4G but you can also buy for as little as £200. Not sure what country you are from but I'm sure you could find something slightly better and quicker then Tab S

That's really useful, thanks! Is the one in your game store pre-owned? I looked on their website and it's listed as ~ £260

Yes it is pre-owned grade b condition, they also had a non 4G version too which was I believe £20 cheaper. £260 sounds about right for a new one yes
