IMO this is a big deal!
So, I have not used Amazon appstore before, but I installed the app and found this deal. It says it is free, but when I try to install it, it fails and asks me to supply a payment method. Is this typical?
I got it for free.

Have heard on another board it is only 20 pages then you have to pay.
This looks to be the premium version, at least the version I got off Amazon today is the premium one. Works with no limitations so far, so a GREAT score!
It was pretty glitchy for me and I cant get it to work right. I don't have a wireless printer its just networked and I could never get a print to work.
I have one wireless and one wired. The wired printer is working just fine. Haven't tested the wireless printer yet as it's a bit flakey of late.
just get a compatible wireless print and its all good. My HP Photoshop d110a syncs flawlessly
not free today. bummer!
This one was the premium version with no limitations which I quickly grabbed. The other version has a 20 page limit.
I check the Amazon appstore everyday. Never know when I'm going to come across a really great freebie.

As the title says really.
I ordered one last Friday, on the AYCE £40 contract.
Got the £109 through Quidco already tracking.
However I received an email today telling me that it has been delayed.
When I ordered it said on their site that it would be delivered Friday 13th. The site now says 20th for delivery.
Has anybody else had anymore info regarding when these will hit people's hands?
I paid a visit to 3 this evening in London. They do have them in stock in the store. But when I asked them online, they told me they would have stock on 13th May and deal with all the orders.
I also asked buymobilephones, at first they told me I can get the contract on 12 May but today they delayed it to the 18th.
As an update I rang 0844 481 2353.
I spoke with a nice, helpful lady called Katherine.
While she wouldn't guarantee that it will be out for delivery tomorrow, she did check the warehouse and said that it was pretty certain to be in my hands on 13th.
Maybe tomorrow will be a lucky Friday 13th.
I called out of curiosity on Wednesday the 11th, they had stock even though their site didn't mention the phone. I bought it on contract, 24m, 0 cost, 40 quids a month for their one tariff with *unlimited* data (nice!). Got the phone Thursday pm, activated and all. Very pleased.
Nice.
Mine turned up today. All ready to be used. First thing I did was pop in my old o2 data sim card. It's unlocked. I didn't configure the internet settings.
Boot screen has a Three brand part. Also got a ton of crapware on the device. I can see why they didn't send it out earlier in the week.
Overall very happy with the beast. Definitely glad that I sold my iPhone 4.
Just got to wait for my old number to be ported.

I got mine yesterday, coming from hd2 and various android roms. Can't get over how cheap and light the phone feels. It runs well and the screen is very nice. Can't wait for lots of custom roms to try out - Samsung have ruined the android experience I enjoy. I do dislike the UI and can't figure out how to host USB mass storage. Wifi hot spot doesn't work. So frustrating having win cash apps and Sims 3... I can't remove them! Never rooted before as all roms on hd2 where allready rooted so time to do some homework. I also wish it came with some kind of case/ cover. HTC always provide them. Decent earphones though and a nice sound

Settings>Applications>Development> tick debugging and that will enable USB hosting.

Ah, thanks! I did check that earlier but for some reason it never stayed on and assumed it had not sorted it. Thanks again!

Actually, USB hosting still doesn't work. Hmmm. Rather odd, I'm a computer engineer and usually don't get stuck. but this sgs2 has given me a headache.
Do you really have the "USB connected" option in your drag down notification simply from enabling debugging?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I use a Mac. Plugged it in and it tried to load Kies. Which I don't have.
Searched google for a bit, found someone talking about doing the USB debugging on their SGS1. Found the option and did it on the SGS2. It worked and still does.
Just to make sure I tried it again.
Rooted the phone at last and now things are working as they should. I can start enjoying the phone.

I can also confirm that rooting the phone using the technique shown on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334 works perfectly. I flashed the Kernel back to KE1 post root and no problems.
I bought my Flyer on 5/26. Went to Best Buy and asked (nicely) if I could get a pen, and they gave me one. Worth a try; you never know.
I was searching yesterday, deciding between the Q550 tablet or the flyer and saw the free pen on best buy. Today it's all over the net that it's included, but it doesn't mention it on their site anymore. Weird. Glad to hear it worked for you.
I would still give them a call, 'cause you never know. The tag at the store didn't mention the pen either, and the blue shirt guy had to go research a little because he hadn't been told anything about it.
best buy doesnt seem to be offering this bundle anymore but sprint still is as of Tuesday when i became a EVO View owner
As mentioned in another thread, it seems that the free pen with the Flyer is very random, and maybe up to the specific location or store manager. I bought my Flyer right around the same time as the OP, and asked about the free pen. All of the employees working in the tablet department said they hadn't heard anything about it, and couldn't give it to me.
I guess I lucked out. =) Other than the mentions online, I didn't see anything on the BB website or local store, and the dude hadn't heard anything either. Maybe he just liked me. I hope not too much, though.
i just got the view about a week ago from sprint and they gave me a pen for free just fyi

The pen is free (at least for a limited time) with the purchase of the View from Sprint. This has been officially advertised by Sprint.
http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1955
The case of getting a free pen from Best Buy with the WiFi-only Flyer, however is much more inconsistent, with no official announcement/advertising for it.
Just went to the store and got it 210 after tax and weaved 18 dollar upgrade fee
Just got home. I told them il hook it up later. (45min drive from my house)
I was the first person to request/Buy it here
Just unboxed it and put my sd card in it time to play with it
Anything I can help with?
Here is an Unboxing/Little software tour. Might do a better video with (autofocus) lol if people request it. (Yes I know it shows my number idc)
Also What I dont understand is when I do A Speedtest even on my Microcell I dont get more than about 2.5mbps down:/ whats with that? ( Ihave a 7mb down connection)

I was their first SGS2 sale at my local store also on Sunday. I was there waiting for them to open up at 11AM. $214 out the door.
How do you go about waving the upgrade fee? Do you just tell them you want it waived?
What I just did is tell them to go ask the store manager and he said ok and got me the. Alist on there and waived activation fee I think I gotta good deal

Like I've been telling everyone around the forums that speedtest app it's so unreliable and inaccurate most of the time. For example when I test my iMac Wi-Fi or Ethernet speed I get around 5mb when I'm suppose to get around 35mb down on Verizon Fios. When I switch from server to server I get different speed some correct some extremely slow. I notice the same thing with the app and the web site. Go to speakeasy.net/speedtest I found to be more accurate.

Love it
Every time I watch a review I just start drooling even more. I'm not sure if I will be able to wait until Friday. You're going to see me on the news breaking into a fed ex truck whenever it leaves the warehouse lol.

Us people that ordered through BB have to wait till Sunday. There now don't you feel better. lol
I'm not sure if the extra 2 day wait was worth the $50 and a case I'll probably never use. Right now it don't feel like it.
That was my dilemma as well. Of course BB made it easier for me when I got up at 3 AM on Feb 5th to preorder and there wasn't an option to preorder on BB yet. Also, I'm not sure if I just overlooked it or what, but on BB's online orders I didn't see an option to keep my 2 GB of data for $25. I barely use 1 GB so I definitely didn't need 3 GB. That really sealed the deal for me. I didn't see myself using the flip case either.
Although I'm going to try out the AT&T live tv 7 day trial when I get my Note and see if it's worth the $10 per month. If I end up keeping it I will probably need the extra gig of data for $5 bucks more. We will see though.

I have an older Slingbox and I'm thinking about upgrading to a high def one. It really is great. You get all your channels that you get at home. If you have Sattelite or cable and movie channels it's awesome.
You should look into a Slingbox. It will pay for itself with a lot more channels, including all your locals.
That looks awesome, but it has a little too much up front cost for me right now. With getting a $300 phone, I don't think my wife would enjoy me spending another $330 to be able to watch TV on it. But you are right, it would definitely pay off in the long run. That is unless I got fired for watching TV at work, haha.

I know what you mean. I need to do the taxes and then hide them from the wife. lol I'll probably stick with my Slingbox SOLO for a while longer.
I noticed she didn't mention the video editor as one of the included apps. Do we not get that app since we aren't on the international version?

I don't know if we get that.
Also I wonder if we get that cool sample HD video that shows off the screen capabilities, like the Intl. Note has.
@ 9:30 she points out a speedtest result when "we forced the phone to HSPA+"...does this mean LTE can be disabled in the AT&T version? I remember reading that was not an option with the Skyrocket?
Does slingbox provide its own content to cable and local channels or is it working off an existing provider like a fios tv?

It just slings whatever channels you have on your satellite or cable TV over the internet to your phone.
It has these infrared things that hang in front of my satellite box that allow it to change my channels. It used to freak my kids out on Sundays when they were watching cartoons and the channel would change to football all by itself because I changed on my phone at work.
One great thing about these phones with the hdmi out capabilities and a slingbox is that you could be in a hotel anywhere in the world and hook your phone up to the TV and watch all of your channels, local, movie, etc.

I will ask her and report back.
EDIT: Lisa said there is not voice and data over LTE yet. When you make a phone call, the phone switches to HSPA+ and then takes a minute to go back to LTE after you end the call and that is when she did the speed test on HSPA+. There is not LTE/HSPA+ toggle on the ATT Gnote.
Thanks for the update! Hopefully a custom rom will remedy that sooner than later!
Here is the official APK for the Order and Chaos game that for SOME REASON still isn't on the Play store for the Motorola Photon. Might work on the Atrix, I have no clue.
