but the website is android mini collectibles 01-12 series http://www.icellphonestore.com/Android-mini-collectibles-Series-1-12-Google-Android-Robot

I know Dead Zebra also sells them...but they're out of stock...so....lol
http://shop.deadzebra.com/products/Android-Mini-Series-02.html

Nice find on these!! I bought some on ebay a while ago. I paid almost $20 each for them, I could have practically bought the set instead of three for the same price....

Excuse me if this sounds rude or anything but the dealextreme ones look fake. From what I read, the ANDROID words are suppose to be in the back and are more indented. I've been trying to get the 1st series, but there's just so many fakes out there now. . . ..
OH yeah, the site from deadzebra is the official one, they are the ones that partner up with google to make it. They have a post to show how to spot a fake. I can't link it because I'm a noob though.

I bought one from this site on the 14th of March, and it came on March 31st.
1st series, and looks legit. "android" on the back and all.
But...I'm not super familiar with what is legit and what's a knockoff. Not that I care either. It's pretty cool regardless.

HD Dock $49.99 GVA - Bestbuy

Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.

you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...

I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).

i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.

Back Ordered Samsung Cases Available on Provantage

Although the naming of the case on this site doesn't inspire confidence, I went by the part number and everywhere I've looked online the part number "EFC-1B1NBECXAR" pertains to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Leather Notebook Case.
http://www.provantage.com/samsung-efc-1b1nbecxar~ASAM90NA.htm
So I took a chance and ordered one.
I think this may have come up before in discussions on another thread. Either way, I'll let you know how it pans out when the item is delivered. Hopefully.

The name sounds right to me... And by the way, it isn't leather.

Op I hope you take pictures when you receive the unit! Website is a bit sketchy with the description an name

Thanks OP! In 4 0ne...good price! better than Samsung itself even with the 30%coupon!
I ordered from PROVANTAGE b4...
They usually deals with corporate accounts and sometimes they have good deals!
And they ship fast too with several warehouses across the states.
And even the Galaxy Tab™ 10.1 Leather Pouch is $10 less

I ordered one last night! I'm really hoping its the real thing. Hope I get it next week!

Wow thats a really good price. Only bad thing is shipping to Canada is going to cost $31.50
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

It's the real thing. I bought one about a week ago. Looks like the price has dropped $7 since then.

keep us posted if it is the real thing

Put in an order. Model number matches up so I have little doubt that the model isn't correct.
Mixed reviews from those that have dealt with proadvantage. Will post results once received.

Okay cool, that gives me some hope. I ordered mine 7/3/11 as well. Hopefully it will ship today.

Just ordered mine and it says processing is completed. So this IS for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and will fit with the IO one, right? not for the 10.1v ?

Yes it is for the Retail version. I don't think they are making these for the 10.1v, but don't quote me on that. Mine better ship today! lol

Amazon UK (temporarily) stop selling White One X

Amazon UK have put a stop-sell on the white One X apparently due to quality concerns. A colleague was told he couldn't have his faulty One X replaced and they could only offer a refund at this time. He called up to ask why, and they said there had been "quality concerns".
If you go to the Amazon UK page you will see:-
Item Under Review
This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described.
We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page.

Strangely they are still selling the grey one.

good going HTC...

Probably related to the white back not being quite as impervious as they thought. One of the reasons I got the grey one... nothing stays clean in the same house as my 1 year old.

They might not listen to us lot on xda but I bet they'll take notice when a company as large as Amazon expresses concerns and stops selling the product.

maybe they will wake up now... or probably more reseller need to do the same until htc is going to listen to the community and not just ignore us.

It doesn't look like Amazon are selling the grey one either. If you select grey it shows the seller as webtrader instead of directly from Amazon.
Or is this normal? I've noticed that the seller seems to change every day anyway. Sometimes direct from Amazon, other times not. Is that when they run out of stock or something?

Not sure why its not displaying for you but I just double checked and I can definitely still order a grey one from Amazon UK directly from them (not a seller). I would not be at all surprised if the grey ones are pulled as well shortly. I don't think the issue is to do with anything specific about the white casing.

nothing to do with color
white is selling more = more complaints lol

I received a replacement grey from Amazon today (shipped yesterday) so they must still have some. Batch number HT241W - hopefully a good one! Not had time to test it yet.

Sad to hear this, o2 also unhappy with the return rate they're getting on the One X.

That's what I'm saying...

Currently 16 sellers of the grey model on Amazon - including Amazon. I think they only direct a portion of the search results to their own product, otherwise the other retailers would never get a look in. Look at the "More Buying Choices" column on the right hand side.
I'm betting that Amazon have returned their stock of the white one, which is why they can't offer returns. I got one from them last Friday, HT23Z (and thus far problem free) so I suspect all their stock was HT23. When they start selling the white one again I reckon they'll have a later batch.

I am an Amazon prime customer so I think it is prioritising the one sold by Amazon directly for me because of the included next day service on it. Sometimes it favours the "cheapest" vendor, which is 15 pounds lower than Amazon directly.....so maybe thats why it showed that one in this case.

Ah that makes sense. The randomness is pretty annoying though. I wished they'd just default to Amazon and let you see the other seller prices.

Well done HTC

i noticed that message the first time recently while looking at 3d computer monitors. one of them can only be bought from a third party seller because of too many Amazon returns.

Black Friday Deals

curious to see if anyone knows if retailers like Best Buy will offer the Moto 360 on their Black Friday deal list?
I just picked up mine at Best buy via open box item ($217), and I have 14 days to return it. Given that this is a new hot item, I'm not anticipating very much of discount in savings if made available on Black Friday - retail is still $250 at both best buy and Moto's website.

bump on this

I bought an Open Box 360 at Best Buy this past weekend for $205 but I have until Jan 15 to return it because of their holiday return policy....you may want to look into that....I doubt it will go much lower than that. What i might do is see if the Gear S drops a lot so I can have both LOL!

The best I can find is buying Target gift cards on black friday at 10% off, then waiting until Saturday the 29th to buy the 360 from their website at effectively 10%off. it would be 224 before taxes

The Jan15 return policy will only give you store credit in case you return the watch and not a refund.

That's fine since if I return it I will get either the ZenWatch or Gear S...but so far I am liking the 360...the only real issue is trying to find a good and safe metal band that won't break the bank

Yup. Couple of things I am interested in terms of long term usage is 1) Amoled burn-in (some LG GWAR users reporting burn-in) 2) charger pin problems like rusting/loose contact (That happened to original LG G watch)

That's only after keeping them on charger overnight with the screen on? I turn my screen off while it's charging. Then remove it after charging is done.
