Hi everyone, please accept my apologies if this is inappropriate to post this here. I am selling my Shift that is barely a month old. I have used it twice and figure this would be the best place to benefit the enthusiast. If anyone is interested I plan to let it go for $1300. Everything is still like new, manuals etc. are still sealed.
Thanks
I am interested

No voice calls for the shift...data only...
I keep reading different posts about what keyboards work and what don't and want to be 100% SURE before I order one. Can anyone post ones they KNOW work? I want something SMALL like a ipad/imac keyboard?
Links would be helpful too, I want a HIGH QUALITY one!
Thanks in advance...
I am looking for this info as well. I saw this in other threads, but not housed in 1 list. It is possible I missed it.

I have the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile 6000, and love it. Got it yesterday, still working out some of the connection issues, but it's awesome. Bought it off CL for 30 bucks new.
Did you ever get those connection issues ironed out?
I am hoping that this is a simple/quick question. Since like 2 days after it became available, it has been constantly sold out. It is quite annoying. I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on with the availability of the Canadian Nexus 10, and if it really isn't available, or if there is a possibility that it actually is available, and a cookie, or something on my computer, makes it displayed as sold out? Thanks in advance!
Note, I wasn't sure whether or not I should put this into Q&A, or General. So, I stuck it in General. If this is wrong, please tell me for future reference.

I didn't say release dates, I said availability. And I have heard about it becoming available, then being sold out, but I have never come across it. Which is why I'm asking. I don't know if it is my computer by chance, or if it really is sold out. Either way, I asked if anyone knew anything. Because maybe someone does. You obviously don't.
hi everyone! I am seeking your expertise as I came upon this forum trying to help my son fix his phone. He's only 11 years old- but as we call him at home our "tech guy". He got a brand new HTC One M8 yesterday and 3 hours later - the phone was "bricked" as I have been told. Apparently, (these are his words) he "unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev, then flashed twrp, then flashed supersu.zip.
I have no idea what any of that means but apparently he did something wrong because his phone is not working and we don't know how to fix it. If you have any compassion for a frustrated Mom who's trying not to be angry with her son -- I would appreciate any advice you can give on how to fix this.
I have attached a picture of what the phone looks like when we turn it on. Not sure how to get picture in post.
Thanks a bunch!!

I'm going to venture to guess that the process will be entirely too long and tedious for someone not well versed to follow and could potential end in disaster. The phone isn't bricked since the main recovery menu pops up. I'd suggest looking on craigslist for someone locally to help you guys out. Unless someone here can offer a quick fix, i'd much rather you find someone that has experience to fix this in person. Sorry if that's not the answer you were looking for but that would probably be your best bet

UPDATE
Thank you for your responses! Much appreciated. Believe it or not - this kid fixed it all by himself. Basically (remember I am not technical) he unlocked the boot loader then flashed a ROM onto an SD card and was able to load. Don't think I worded correctly - but it's fixed and working fine. WHEW!!
I will certainly keep the info to this forum handy because something tells me that I will be visiting again with this child..................
Have a great evening!!
p.s. I typed the wrong key -- he's 12 not 11

I started getting into ROMs your sons age. I am 15 now. I have hard bricked a Motorola Atrix 2, meaning it won't turn on at all. That's cool your son is a tech wizard too, it will do him a lot of good and a lot of bad. You should educate him about Ubuntu and let him screw with that on a PC. Much safer messing with a computer than a phone. Anyways, glad he got it working. ?

Me too! Im 14 now.
The M8 is my first android phone and custom roms seem to get better and better.
The phone was not "bricked", and you are using the term improperly. Your son simply did something to make the phone unable to boot into the Android operating system. This state is usually easy to recover from, as long as the proper steps are known. So that is not a brick.
Itis of course your choice whether to let your kid modify (mod) your phone in such ways. And part of the modding process is always going to involve some hiccups (for even the most experienced users) and figuring out how to fix them. So I'm glad your son figured it out.
On the other hand, both you and he should be fully aware (if not already) that modding the phone may void the warranty, and also permanent damage (a true "brick") is possible if he doesn't fully understand what he is doing. Such damage is not covered by warranty.
To the OP (original poster), please do not create multiple thread asking the same question.
Its against forum rules, and makes it super confusing for those trying to help you.

You got your 11-year-old a $700 smartphone. What did you think would happen? Why in the world does a kid that young even need a smartphone?

I agree about his technical skills being alot of good and bad! We've had our share with him-- I won't bore you with the lists. My husband is the tech guy (of course he was away on business when this happened) and he understands his quest for knowledge and how much he loves this stuff - -says it's how he learns. Hubby has given him some old laptops and ipods and he sure has fun with those!

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you counting the on contract price? Okay. Well, throw it on the ground or drop it in a pool or give it to a child to ruin. Now go back to the store to get a replacement and see how much it costs. You also signed a contract and took on an extra monthly data plan... For a child. The fact that you have no clue how much the phone actually costs explains a lot, actually.
I'm not concerned about your wallet. You clearly have more money than sense, so rather than crying here, just go buy a replacement phone for him to ruin. While you're at it, go ahead and get him an espresso machine.

Seems like she asked a question to a problem and it was answered. I'm not sure how taking a personal shot at a newcomer to the forum accomplishes anything. Her decision to buy her son anything is hers and hers alone, why inject your opinion into it, much less insinuate that she has no sense. It comes off as aloof and petty. This doesn't seem to be in the spirit of this forum. Flame away.

Thanks a bunch for your support and from all of those who responded. I've visited various forums in my life and am well aware that there are always those few who just like to be mean and find power on these boards. I didn't come here asking for anyone's opinion on what I allow my children to do or how they spend their allowance - just needed some advice. Sincerely appreciate the great input that I have received.

The actual retail cost of the device is $639; which would also be the replacement cost of this device. The on-contract price of $199 is just a subsidized cost, which the carrier basically spreads over the length of your 2-year contract.
So...don't know if this is the right place for this post if not please let me know where i should post it....Here's the deal i am looking to get a new device here soon. I have been with Samsung since before the Smartphone boom and every other phone seems foreign to me. HOWEVER, noticing how Samsung has started to lock up most of their high end devices i was thinking of switching over to Nexus, as the customization seems to be amazing. Can i get some input on a nice Nexus that won't break the bank. I would totally appreciate any knowledge i may or may not have, even if you think Samsung is the better of the two, like i do, any input is valuable.
Thanks Guys
