Not sure about the right forum for this one, so posting it here... mods, move if you need to.
I am interested in buying an HP Pre 3 if I can get my hands on a cheap one... and/or an HP Veer. Seeing as HP has announced $75 for the Pre3 in UK and France, I hope the Veer would also see a similar price drop.
But the real question is: is Android going to be ported to the Pre3 and/or Veer? Afaik, both phones' hardware should be capable of running it, in principle.
Price drop announced in France... I would also like to know if we could have Android on Pre3.
If it's ported to the Touchpad, It could very well be added to the Pre, the only thing is how the Home/Menu/Back Buttons would work.

Announcement has been made in France, we're now waiting... I heard Germany went out of phones, they sold everything... I don't know about Italy.

I'm serious about this. Calculate the price after its change (phone cost + shipping cost to Macedonia), and if reasonable, buy me +1.
I must be the only guy in the world that actually had a Pre3 on Preorder. If I can pick up another few in the firesale then i'm happy to ship them out to people at cost. Drop me a PM and I'll do firstcome first serve.
When's it due on sale in the uk?

I had one, but just got an email from the supplier saying that HP recalled the stock which was going to be sent to them, so my order was cancelled.
Shame, I was really looking forward to getting one... I hope I can grab one in the fire sale, but I probably won't...
I wish someone could make this happen for the Veer. I saw an article on precentral that someone was able to port a semi-working version of android to the original pre and pre plus. should be able to do the same for the Veer if someone put their mind to it. PLZ!
would be interested in running android on my pre3.
missing the android market a lot.
pre3 should have some potential for developers I guess.

I think it would be easier to handle these buttons when Ice Cream Sandwich reaches AOSP
Or SB develop driver to handle gestures like swipe to left = "back", swipe to right = "menu" and just tap = "home".
Any news?
XDA-developers has Beta MIUI.us Tenderloin HP TouchPad 2.3.7 by scott951 done, does anybody know if i can use this ROM to install android on HP Veer 4G?
I tried with alpha releases and nothing.
I'm curious about buying an HP phone too. The Pre3 looks nice but I think I want the Veer.
Maybe someone will develop an Android version to work on them. The issue with the home/back/menu buttons would be solved if they used 4.0. I think there's an app in the market that uses on screen buttons too.
~100 Euros for such a nice piece of hardware, the only thing holding me back is the fact that my whole life works around my android handset
Bump
I own a Touchpad and a Pre3, running one of the latest ICS nightlies from Eyeballer on the Touchpad and it rocks dual boot with WebOS.
It would rock to have it on the Pre3 too, as WebOS doesn't have whatsapp, which is needed on a phone these days.
As the Pre and Pre2 had some Android version running, I was hoping the Touchpad ICS could be ported to Pre3 pretty easily.
Not as many Pre3's out there as there are Touchpads, but still reasonable numbers I think as they were sold in UK, France, Germany and some other countries. If I look at this picture the Pre3 would be a candidate for ICS/CM9

ps: this topic has over 20.000 views... There IS interest for such a rom!

Thanks for the info, there is another thread with the same update though for the UK sku it looks like. Great to see them putting updates out already even though no one can buy the thing. (yes there is some resentment in there)

who knows until we actually get the device in our hands. And we won't have it long enough to really tell a difference. Plus from what I understand the issues with WiFi was hardware related. The only people who will know are the reviewers. That said them releasing the update now makes me feel like yesterday was really supposed to be the launch which coincides with a lot of the early information.
I remember some reviewers mentioning that an update was pushed that improves performance and battery life. Maybe this is it...
Was posted already in this thread, an hour before this one.
Edit: It appears it was posted in the TF101 forum, and recently moved though.
Well I tried to run unpack blob scripts on it but it says its invalid so I don't know whats inside of it.
Maybe it will fix the release date.

i lol-ed on this...haha
Nothing as of yet until now (12.40 PM, 27.09) and I keep checking sporadically....
Has anyone else had the update yet, here in Finland? Or if anyone sees it come out, please do drop in a word to give a heads up.
Thanks in advance. Cheers...
Edit: PS., I understand its probably not necessary to have another JB thread.. but its just a bit difficult to pick out any news / info regarding the update roll-out in Finland specifically from the other bigger threads.
Nothing here
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
Not sure is a yet another JB-thread necessary.
Anyway, nothing here too.
Nothing here in Slovenia and Norway either. So I am guessing none of the WW-devices has gotten it yet. We will just have to be patient and hope it won't take too many hours of biting nails while waiting.
Why dont you read the other topics? JB is only for sweden and USA right now. it will pop up in the next days for other countries (asus words not mine!) i hope soon tho!

I just checked the swedish page on FB, and people complained less than an hour ago that the update is still not available for them.. so I would say only the USA.
:banghead:
Nothing for Europe again. F***ck you, ASUS!
Download some vpn changer from play store and use that to download it from USA servers. While you do that I'm gonna just sit and wait for a custom version

Well, from what I saw from the other thread where this 'option' was mentioned, I understood that this is for people who have the TF201 from US but who are now physically outside of the US!!!
Meanwhile, I think the update will roll out here in Finland possibly tomorrow (28 Sep)...
Edit: Called up Asus Finland and I was told it hasn't been released here yet. When I pressed on about when it would be released, the guy said "I have to ask Google because they are releasing the Jelly Bean update...." what the...? Anyway, so... it's not here yet. Guess we just have to wait.
So asus sweden finally woke up and had posted that some users could be getting the update already now (although I have not seen any such reports), while some might have to wait for a full week .
Seems like pretty much all the american users have gotten the update by now though, so for them it went pretty fast, so I think it seems strange if they are going to spend a week gradually rolling it out here.
I'm going to Sauna with my Sandels, check again later!:good:
We really don't need another JB thread...
Closed.
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,
I opened this topic because officially Sony has not given yet a release date for the aforementioned products.
I live in Italy, which is basically the third world for anything remotely technological, and I gave up asking various clerks for the Xperia Z Ultra (launch was due mid September worldwide, here nobody knows nothing about it), let alone asking for accessories.
It might be the same as asking for a microprocessor at a grocery store.
So I sent Sony an email, I tweeted them, but no response whatsoever.
I scoured the net for dates, and as of now only Clove in the UK seems to have a date (September 13), but even that's not sure 100%.
All I want to know is, as a friend of mine is going to NY on September 17th, if I could tell him for sure to bring me back a SBH-52 and a SmartWatch 2,and possibly how much would he pay them, and maybe where to search for them.
I know I'm asking a lot here, but maybe there are some New Yorkers here that could give me an advice...
My friend is not as tech savvy as us, so I don't want him to run around in circles to search for a unicorn that will be on sale next month...
I only saw price for the sbh52 on UK webstores, they talk about 64£ with VAT for mid September. Couldn't find any US website, or maybe didn't look so well. So with today rate exchange it would be about $100. Didn't look for the smart watch 2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The SBH-52 is priced in Germany at 64€ ~ 85USD, and the SmartWatch 2 at 179€ ~ 235USD.
But usually the devices here get the same value in USD then in Euro, due to VAT, customs and generally higher price level.
So if it will be tagged at 149$ (just as an example!) or whatever, we get the same in Euro.
Both are not set up with a release date yet. But for me its quite evident/presumable, that they will be avail together with the XZU Europe/US release as both were hardly advertised with.
I know, if I had to guess I'd say 199 USD for the SmartWatch 2, and around 70 for the SBH-52.
So it sums up to 270 USD, a little more than 200 euros.
If they make it available from September 17th or before it will save me 70 euros, not bad uh?
If they throw the SmartWatch 2 at 149 USD I'll be more than pleased...
P. S. Does anybody know how much costed the last SmartWatch at launch?
If i remember right it was a SRP of 129€
Smart Watch 2 is selling for about £60 on eBay here in the UK
What they're offering there as SM2 is not the real 2nd version - it is actually the first.
So the price is not a decision-making basis.

I have been looking around as well for price availability and release date. For a week or so Sonymobile.com/gb had a price for the SBH52 as £79.00 with coming soon with a Buy now option which didn't work. They have a corrected it now and it just says coming soon.
As you might know clove.co.uk is selling it for £64.99, while amazon.co.uk seems to be out of stock and will dispatch as sson as they receive them. Amazon is selling it for £56.03..I have placed an order and just Waiting
I have read most probably this is coming out at the end of September. Well we will see.
Has anybody in the uk recieved there smartwatch 2 yet from what ive read the release has been pushed back till Oct 1st,
Almost 20 days since the first post and no news yet.
My friend is in the states and I'm afraid he won't bring anything home...
I tweeted Sony but they didn't reply, I asked the support centre but they say they don't know about release dates...
It's getting frustrating.

Not yet, but I might get one soon.
The watch vibrates and lights up like the old one, but the vibrate is MUCH more powerful.
