Hello friends,
As the title says I have a question for you Razer Owners. I owned the Razer Phone and the phone itself was damaged beyond repair after being caught in a downpour at an NCAA football game.
I have the cool original box with all the OEM accessories in their boxes almost like factory fresh due to the fact that I save everything to do with a new phone and I try to be very careful with everything. Anyway, I know the box, accessories, & owners manuals would be of value to someone but I have no idea what the value would be so I'm asking you guys who own one. What is this stuff worth? I see empty device boxes being sold for crazy amounts on eBay, so what do you guys think?

Im looking for dead Blue Angels with working LCD's im willing to pay good money for it.
How much?
Robin?
ive been quoted stupid prices from O2 but i know the screens can be bought brand new from about 160 upwards...
So make me an offer for your paperweight and well negotiate
Let me ponder.
It is actually an i-mate PDA2K.
I have dropped it 2-3 times and now the case is marked and the 2 parts of the case are really quite loose.
HOWEVER the phone is actually working perfectly, well as good as any of these damn phones actually do work anyway.

Excellent... well if you look on ebay Brand new Blue Angels with Tom Tom sat nav and loads of extras are going for about £250... so a damaged one... im not sure how much they should go for but i know what im willing to strech too... get back to me with a fair price and we can barter
Hey
I have an almost new O2 XDA 2s which irritates the hell out of me at times - how much would you offer me for this? Feel free to tell me that you don't want it!!
would you consider a part exchance plus some cash?
I have an Samsung E700 in mint condition, still in original box with manual and all accesories, plus ive stuck loads of ringtones and games on there.
Im willing to add £50 ontop of that. i could show you on ebay that recently id sold the E700 for £120. well actualy i can show you how i sold it twice and got let down by both byers... which sux.
But the phone is desirable. I just cant be hassled anymore to put it back on ebay. but you could make yourself some money on it.
If you want to discuss a price with me add me to messenger [email protected] or email me.
If not just PM or post back here
thanks & hope to hear from you soon
I've recently gotten into the hobby of buying broken phones and reselling them for just enough more to cover my costs. (that's why i'm calling it a hobby).
However, I recently purchased a pretty smashed up Tilt - it needed a new LCD and an entirely new housing.
After investing that $140, I've come to find that the mainboard is probably bad, as it wont power on.
Rather than toss my money in the crapper, I want to see about replacing the mainboard, but cant find ANYONE who sells them online...perhaps I'm searching by the wrong terms, but I'm no web n00b...and I'm coming up blank.
Does anyone know of a reputable website whereby I can purchase items like the mainboard for the Tilt? Does anyone who reads these forums WORK for HTC, and like to strike a deal?
Please, PM me if you know anyone that sells these hard-to-find HTC parts...
Thanks!!

You might as well have just bought a new one!
Your best bet is to buy a broken one off Ebay, mainboards will be the domain of HTC repair specialists only and will probably need to be bought in bulk. They would also no doubt cost more than a broken second-hand device would.
Would be a rather boring hobby, buying working phones, dont you think?
But yes, this one is costing me a bit more than I care to admit....fortunately, I think I can probably sell off parts and recoup some of the money spent.... at least, once I call off the search for a replacement mainboard.
i remember trying to source a mainboard for an athena a while back and it was akin to getting blood out of a stone! I rang everyone i could find the number for and got no-where. You can buy a tilt for about 150gbp on ebay so one with a broken screen and housing damage (but a functioning mainboard) would doubtless set you back very little

Hello.
I recently killed my HTC TyTN II.
I know it needs a working Mainboard.
I want to give you an idea,about my 2 cents as Mcmexican says.
You need to go to a HTC Taiwain site and regiter as a Reseler or repairer. Probably you can get these kind of things in deeper sources.
Im telling you that,cause youre saying you have the hobbie to fix them. Me to,but im unemployed,trying to get a job,im broke. So it seems i dont have time and economic positive status to do it myself. And im in Portugal,momentaniously in an Economic crisis..
Im on an exausting search,cause im in an unknown new town,and need the GPS,that my Qtek 9100 doesnt have..
PPl in this forum could work all together to also get Mainboards at a affordable price,for ppl with less economic positive status.
I will start a new thread about that.
Thanks for reading this ppl.
We need Mainboards at a fair price .
Hello all. I don't post very often, if at all, but I had a question and was wondering if those who received their handset recently could answer. I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Expansys (USA Store), and I received it today. I opened it up and was expecting the handset box to have that security sticker that I've seen other unboxings on YouTube to have. It didn't. I was also surprised that I have Spanish / Mexican writing in addition to English on the outside of my box. I opened my box and instead of the UK plug, I was given a Mexican (?) plug. I'm not sure, the plug said "ME" on the side. I also received warranty books in English and Spanish. Sorry, I'm not sure how to speak Spanish or Mexican so I may be mixing it up. I tried searching these forums, but I haven't seen a thread on this yet.
So, I know there are some people that received their handsets today from Expansys, and I was wondering if they received the same thing?
Sorry, if this has been covered before, but I'm just curious. Thanks.
I was about to make a post about the same thing.
My Nexus also came without a security seal, US charger, and English/Spanish manuals. Also, on the inside of my phone it does not say Made in Korea. Instead it says Korean Product.
But I did not order from Expansys.
Thanks for your response, aeox. I'm thankful I wasn't the only one that received a handset from someplace else. I'm hoping that everything else internally is the same, i.e. same sourced parts. I have flashbacks to when I was on Blackberry and people compared country of manufacture to determine problems. Lol.
I'm naive about electricity also. Would someone be able to tell me if it's safe to use the "ME" plug in US sockets? Could I use my SGSII plug to charge the Nexus? Just want to be sure and not fry my phone or my house.
Thanks again, and sorry for all the questions.
I'm kind of worried too. Since none of the labels on the box or phone itself have all "regular" labels that is seen in every video out there. Especially the sticker inside the back of the phone.
Korean Product vs. Made in Korea by Samsung.
Does any one else have different accessories or packaging?

Can't say that I have dealt with this... but it might be safest to stick to USB charges until you find your answer.
Darthbull: Is the sticker inside your phone the same as mine?
I have said this since last week, no one really noticed/reply...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19880721&postcount=389
I order from Negri, seems like it came from spain or something...
Any chance of some pictures guys?
That thread got kind of long full of posts from all over the place. I probably missed it.
I'll try to post some pictures tonight when I get home.
aeox: Yeah, mine says "PRODUCTO COREANO / KOREAN PRODUCT"
Regarding doubts of some batches are made in Korea or not; they are all made in Korea. Even though the phone says "Producto Coreano/Product of Korea", the bottom side of the white box has a lable that says "Phone: Made in Korea, Imported Accessories individually marked" So theres no doubt the phone is manufactured in Korea and the accessories in China as labled.
I just got mine FRESH. I did not purchase it at an online retailer like negri or expansis but from a wholesale company that I have connections with. They seem to have the same batch as many of you mentioned; no security stickers and spanish and english on packaging and documentation. I saw the entire lot that they have and its the same thing. Theyre a reputable company, they wouldnt mickymouse with such a high end device, as anyone will certainly expect folks like us will put anything and everything about it under a microscope.
Sounds a little bit more reassuring. But I personally still would rather have a made in Korea by Samsung sticker with the FCC logo instead of the simple cheap looking one I have.

I completely understand but, know that this isnt a standard US/CA handset where you get a nice FCC seal etc. These phones were meant for a different region with different standards. Also, my hypothesis is that we dont get a samsung seal of quality because this isnt a fully Samsung developed developed device. This is a joint effort lead by Google and Samsung happens to be the lead manufacturer. If it was a pure Samsung device, i trust samsung would have put in their own in-house Exynos SoC instead of Texas Instrument OMAP right?
I dont know what the standards for Mexico mobile devices are either (or if these handsets were even meant for mexico in the first place), but DAMN this phone looks sexy as fcuk. I love it. And you should too, dont let a little packaging issue take away the fact that you have the next badass Google Nexus device.
Hey there, received my Galaxy nexus today! been waiting for this beast for a while now!
I know this sounds completely nuts, but what's the Best app to gather system information/benchmark to double check the phone is genuine, What Should I be seeing in the About Phone section?
This is a UK GSM bought from amazon TTSims.
The only reason Im asking is because TTSims seems like a dodgy company, this phone being the most expensive thing they sell, and the box it came in was a little battered and you could open it without breaking the security seal, I emailed them asking if the phone was definitively brand new, not a used or refurbished model, and they guaranteed me it was new.
Just want to be anal about it, and make sure everything sweet, and enjoy it!
check imei (take out battery and check the code),also on the box and then check the internal imei code if those 3 are correct than you have a genuine gnex

Thanks for thanking me
They all match, thank you.
no problem
So my Robin finally came from Amazon yesterday. After hours of waiting and finding out it was at someone else's apartment (long story short). Anyways after I unboxed the phone and the top of the device was bent backwards, which I didn't really have a problem with because I didn't want to ship it back and wait for a new one. After taking hours to charge up and install every update, I found out that the front camera didn't even work, nothing but static like an old school TV. Sent it back and currently waiting on a new one. Did anyone else have these issues when they first got theirs? I understand and know that it's an old device but I can't resist the look of it lol.
Well are you certain you bought a new device and not a used one? Nextbit(now acquired by Razer) stopped selling this device 6-8months back. They pulled out all from all the official channels so the only ones you can buy are from stock saved by retailers or third party sellers.
This surely is a case of old stock stashed somewhere which probably got damaged in storage or handling.

Some resellers bought up remaining stock from retailers in bulk to flip for a profit. Often these transactions are "all sales final" because the retailers take a loss and just want the product gone. Maybe some resellers got stuck with a few broken units and are shadily trying to sell as new rather than "broken for parts only." I'd hope not, but it's possible.
