I almost bought it but canceled at the last sec.
Let me know what you think
I doubt it's a Kingston. IIRC the package color isn't right, it should be white where it's blue in that photo.
thanks so much that was a close one
Yeah, no way you can get one of those for anything close to that price. I don't buy anything that ships from china.

Okay, so since I'm having an issue with the styluses (I believe it's proper grammer?) I'd like to purchase one from one of you guys here. If i'm not mistaken, when you buy a New Tilt 2 It comes with an extra stylus. So, I want the original charocoal stylus. If anyone has one PM me or just post here. It'd be greatly appreciated.
Actually, since you asked...
From wikipedia:
There exists minor controversy about the correct pluralization of "stylus". The form "styli" or even "stylii" has become acceptable, even among major American manufacturers of styluses and online dictionaries, based on the assertion that it is a direct loanword from Latin. However, "stylus" is in fact an English word based on the Latin word "stilus", and is more appropriately pluralized in English as "styluses". Use of "stylii" is considered incorrect, as it is based on the nonexistent Latin word "stylius".

So, you are indeed correct! lol sorry, I just get a kick out of that every time I hear it.
Wow lol, so I have been right the whole time. I'm always seeing threads where people say "styli" and I get discouraged from using "styluses" in fear I may be wrong. This clears up everything and now... I will rule the world of styluses...
Please post your request in the marketplace forum.

They sell them on ebay all day long.

I just bought 3 through HTCPedia and though the price was good (3 for $19.99 incl. shipping) they turned out to be for Touch Pro 2 not the Tilt 2, so they were gray and chrome as opposed to charcoal and chrome. When I went back and looked at the site closer, I found I could have bought the AT&T colored stylus at $9.99 for one. I also wanted to comment on one peculiar thing about my purchase. Shipping within the US is free, okay great it takes 7-8 days to arrive, but it was free. When they show up, they show up in an envelope smaller than normal first class mail which begs the question, why in the hell did I have to wait 8 days for a tiny envelope to make it from one coast to the other when even standard mail would have maid it in 3? Really FedEx ground is the choice for sending an envelope than was barely 3" x 5"??
If I order again, maybe I will send them a SASE. Ha

I already have the 3vo, and I was shopping for a phone for my wife, and I saw that they now have a plum colored one. So it was a no brainer for me. I had no idea they had another color available. Just thought there might be others that might be interested. Here's the link to it.

I also got ahold of one of these plum colored beauties and I must say the colour is very very nice; having said that I'm starting to question whether or not it's worth all the trouble...
Let me explain, the first plum 3vo I got from Sprint ran perfectly fine but had a tilted screen and dust started gathering underneath it after a week; the first Sprint tech I went to about this was friendly enough and quickly set up a replacement unit for me. I waited a week, they called me in and took my handset for the replacemnt... Then it turns out the replacement unit was a black device. It also did not come with the battery cover so at that point I was the proud owner of a two tone device... I politely asked them if they can get me a matching front and they agreed and say they'll call me back when said device comes in. Two weeks later and I hadn't heard from them so I went to my closer Sprint location and they let me know nothing was put in for that replacement but would be happy to assist me in getting the correctly coloured phone. Week and a half went by and I'd received no call from THAT shop so I call them to ask for info on the status of the order. They shrugged it off and said it could be another week and that they would call ME. So I waited another week.
Yesterday I called back and spoke with a different agent who seemed a bit more patient and actually checked on the status of the order. Nothing had been put in for my account AGAIN... he apologized and put in for a rush delivery on the handset. Today I went into the store and inquired about my ordered replacement; "hasn't come in, we'll call you call you tomorrow for sure the order is in, etc."
I received a call two hours afterwards, even though the agent I spoke to earlier assured me they had received all of their orders for today, saying my replacement is in.
"Great, I'll pick it up tomorrow... Can you check on the colour for me?"
"Black."
"Ugh."
Tomorrow should be a fun trip to say the least.
Edit: Went to sprint store tonight and got a fully black/red model; they said they would "let me know" when the plum was available for replacement. I'm going to the corporate office tomorrow or call them up and see what else can be done... sigh...
Funny little tid-bit; apparently, (I'm taking these peeps' words with a grain of salt) after the 4th replacement phone you are eligible to swap out for another type of device... hmmm.... we shall see :3

I would love to have a plum one. Oh well it almost looks like that with my case anyway.
I snapped a pic can't really tell the color but it looks nice.. reminds me of an old iriver mp3 player I had...

It's tough to describe, but the color of it just looks "brighter" than in the pictures.

Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up the Exomount, preferably in white. Anyone know where it's in stock in the US? I see one on Ebay for $29 but it looks like it'll take forever to get to me.
Thanks.
First things first u'll notice this is my 1st post. I've been a constant Xda lurker since i got my xoom way back in March of last year. Finally decided to actually register (something i shouldve done a year ago).
Anyway onto my issue. I live in South Africa so if i were to upgrade to the S3, it would be the international variant. I currently own an iPhone 3gs, so almost any recent phone is an upgrade. I'm lucky enough to be able to choose the S3
The S3 in my eyes is without a doubt the best phone on the market. Theres just a few things i'm unsure of. Please answer whichever of the questions u feel u can Keep in mind that once i upgrade, i'll have to keep the S3 for 24 months (minimum).
1) Firstly, its the 1gb of RAM. i understand this is more than enough at this current moment but i'm worried that it will be insufficient within the next year. Would the S3 still be able to provide top tier performance in 24months?
2) The build quality seems to be an issue. I couldnt care less for the aesthetics of the actual device (i actually think it looks quite nice), but i've seen alot of posts about small drops resulting in completely cracked screens and other severe damage. Even with a cover, is the S3's build quality that bad?
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
The first batch that the South african stores recieved were all white of course. I was wondering whether it would be worth me waiting 2 more weeks for the blue version to arrive. Not a matter of the appearence but rather the actual hardware. Theres countless threads about the 'pink tint' and 'ink sploges' on the screen. I was wondering if the blue variant may be less prone to this issue or is it a complete gamble regardless of whether i choose the white or blue
I understand i could find some of these answers by looking through the forum (and i have) but i would like some personal opinions directly relating to the questions i asked. Thanks for all your replies.
Ink splotches is a byproduct of the screen tech. EVERY model will have them
I do not drop my phones so I cannot comment on that, but I am willing to bet it would only crack the screen if it fell on a corner or side. I.E. if you are going to drop your phone, drop it face down or face up
1GB of RAM should be fine in two years considering apps will be able to be multi-threaded and be able to use the four cores more efficiently, coupled with the fact that Android manages RAM pretty well.
Whatever phone you choose, good luck and I hope you enjoy it
Hi there!
Regarding question 2:
I haven't dropped my SGS3 yet (and I don't plan to).
Call me silly but I have bought both a screen protector and a rear cover as well.
The phone is a quite a big investment so why not protect it the best you can? There are very rugged covers such as Otterbox and so on.
If you are really unlucky when (if) you drop your phone it can break, sure. Try to protect it with some cheap insurance (screen and rear cover) and you have done what you can.
It's a fantastic phone so don't hesitate to buy one just because you are worried about build quality. It's more or less up to you how careful you are with your shining new toy!
Good luck!

Anybody else have any advice on the blue vs white question?
The white was released first in the UK and while I was desparate for the phone I held off for the blue.
I just felt that the white may show it's age sooner and need better keeping clean but that's just me. As for the actual hardware, I guess it's still a gamble whatever but I am completely happy with mine and no issues personally.
If you REALLY wanted to be absolutely sure you'd have to wait months really (and then your first point comes into play even more)

I seriously thought about buying the white one so that I didn't have to wait for the blue one. BUT, the white one is quite "iPhony" if you know what I mean! ;-)
I waited for two extra weeks for the pebble blue to come into the stores here in Sweden, and I don't regret waiting those extra weeks! In my opinion the blue one looks a littlebit more "sophisticated"!
But as always, it's just a matter of taste!

Hi mits101
I'm south African too.....
Just joined the site a few days ago as I'm contemplating going over to Android.
Very tempted.....
I am really intrigued as to how the S3 will stack up to my iPhone 4
Screen wise, sound wise and so forth
I do know that your iPhone 3gs screen will explode when it comes face to face with the Sammy, as far as ram goes I think it should be fine.
I would/will go for the blue one too though it's now Metallic Blue, I don't like the white look
You can upgrade at 20 or 22 months depending on your network (MTN 20 months)
unless it's changed (not sure Vodacom or Cell C)
@ sy573mx
Wow its great to see a fellow south African on these forums .
I've phoned most retailers and they have no idea when they'll be getting the blue version
Looks like I'm most probably going to get the white one. Well either way its gonna have a cover. I just really hope it doesnt have the pink tint.
Anybody know if there's a first and second batch of S3`s. Maybe the second batch will be less prone to the few display problems
galaxy s3 is the way to go, one of the best out and probably still would be for the next year.
ive seen a few threads on dropping their phone and the screen cracked and they cost about $300 to repair...
keep it safe and get a nice case that covers the screen.
android ftw!
I currently have a nook color, but the touchscreen glithing as soon as my finger is the tinyest bit sweaty/wet is killing me.
looking to get this device on ebay but they are so similar how can I be sure to get a Tablet (acclaim) and not color (encore)?
the cyanogenmod wiki doesn't say actual modelnumber and ofcourse on ebay they don't state encore or acclaim
would this be right? BNTV250?
The model number for the Tablet 16GB is 250 and for the 8GB it's 250A
Do not trust the seller to know what they are selling! I have seen so unbelievably many Colors advertized as Tablets! You need to see an actual picture of the object they are selling. If they show a picture of the model no that is great, but not very common.
Look at the pictures they do post and try to see if the glass is in one piece, covering the black strip with the "n" at the bottom. That is the Tablet.
The glass on the color is split. One piece just covering the actual screen.
I'll go check eBay for examples and come back with links if I find any!
Color. Zoom in and you'll se the glass "stops" above the "n"n section: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nook-Color-...61027995803?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item257e04389b
Tablet. Zoom in and you can see it's all one piece: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Barnes-Nobl...80643199653?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item58a01a4aa5
thanks alot, that helped a bunch now to find one that ships to sweden

LOL! If you can wait until June 25 when I return to Sweden from USA there will be an assortment of Nooks in my suitcase. Including a couple of Tablets.

interesting! what region of sweden? it wouldn't be skåne would it?
LOL! Nope. Värmland. But I have been told, from reliable sources that the Swedisg Postal system delivers in Skåne as well.
If you want to buy yourself from eBay there is a seller called "Project Contact" (some sort of charity) that have new (refurbished) Tablets and they do ship to Sweden. I'm sure you can find others as well. And keep your fingers crossed Sedish Customs doesn't get thier greedy finger on you package, SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...
yes swedish postal system should
I saw those, would it be cheaper than what you'd want to let one go? ;P
Nah, not cheaper, But it would be new. Mine are used. Lightly used in great condition, but still used. I'm lousy at selling things for profit...
I wouldn't mind a used one feel free to pm me when you're back
Will do!
