I bought the Asus Nexus 7 and truly believe in many ways it far superior to the Sony S tablet, my opinion, so, please no sarcastic comments etc., I mean that in a nice way, I know lots people love the sony S tablet, I did too.
Fully boxed, 14 remaining months Sony warranty, completely original, not been messed with, and, in mint condition, as new condition.
Probably asking £250 -£300, not sure, I paid full price on Sony web site and got 2 years warranty, still 14+ months to go, if any problems, I'll send to Sony and ask them to return to you.
Complete with a leather case, SD card, OTG lead. and all the normal extras it came it, completely original as bought.
Please pm me or email: [email protected]

A pleasure to take it off your hands, Brian - even if I did have to practically rip it from your fingers!! - and a pleasure to meet you today!
The tablet is joining my stable of computing products and will have a long working life ahead of itself.
Thanks, XDA!

With the 1.4.1 update, Barnes & Noble has demonstrated an aggressive anti-root and sideloaded apps intent.
There is no reason to think that 1.4.2 and later won't continue in this vein.
I don't want to work with a device from a manufacturer with this attitude. Even things that work today - might not tomorrow.
My still-wrapped Nook Tablet is going back today.
Thanks again to all the developers who worked so hard to make this the best tablet in it's price range!
I do hope B&N achieve the success in this market they so richly deserve.
I am outta here...
Moved to other thread.
Bend, Oregon.
This is pretty much what I posted on the B&N web site today. They sure make it hard to provide feedback on company policies.
My Nook went back to the local B&N today - but I was totally unsuccessful in getting my reason for return registered.
I stated the Nook Tablet was the best device in it's class - but B&N policies about side-loading apps as evidenced by the 1.4.1 update make it a non-viable solution for me.
At least 4 times, the department manager did not exactly say I was stupid, but she did keep repeating that I was misinformed, and that unless I called Tech Support I really had no idea.
The reason for return was listed as "Customer did not like it" - which could not be further from the truth.
B&N feels that the modder community is no more than 3 percent of sales, and no risk to alienating them, but my fear is that the influence on sales is far more than 3 percent.
We will see how it goes after the technical web sites pick this up.
Side note - if you do return one, take a printed copy of the B&N return policy with you. I was told my unit was past the return date - but I had a policy copy with me. They grumbled a bit.

Please!!!! tell me where you found a link to the return policy that is good till Jan 31st. I went to the B&N site and they only state 14 days. I don't want to drive almost two hours to the store and have them tell me it's only 14 days. Thanks for any help you can provide.

yeah i am thinking about doing the same thing. will probably return after xmas, i know it will be crazy then but ... just need a little more time to decide.
Mine is going back as well. The one thing I don't want is to be trapped in the B&N environment ever. This was my first tablet, and it made me realize what I DO want in a tablet so I pulled the trigger on an Iconia A500 last night. Yes it is a giant fat pig compared to the NT, but it has full honeycomb, Bluetooth, GPS, and a full size USB (host) port. I really love the size and hardware specs of the NT, but I do not have the energy to battle B&N . I also retracted my recommendations to my friends, as they are less techie than I am, and would just be disappointed. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up another one day
Cheers

The nook tab is great the way it is (pre-update). I played with my wifes while setting it up before wrapping it up for xmas. Being able to sideload apps and get the amazon market to get the same apps cheaper or free was amazing. My only gripe at the time was the lack of a copy/paste function. why in the world, they won't let you copy/paste to share an web address is beyond me...
If I'm not able to get this thing rooted and stop the OTA update, I might take it back and get her the kindle fire or a used nook color...
Looking like a return for me as well, Which kinda really sucks, but I suppose that's life.
No, those are only pebbles from a tree falling on your heads, not the actual sky, guys.
Mine is a keeper! Eventully someone will find a way to let "us" run what we want on it, without the control of B&N...
In the meantime, I've caved in for a KF to play with too
I'm thinking of using it until January 30 and then returning it. 4
This update is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I had just been debating to myself if I should take this back and get the HTC evo view. But now the choice is pretty clear. I'll be taking my NT back tomorrow morning. At least htc is pretty open about unlocking bootloaders to spur development. About to pull the trigger on an evo view for $239 on ebay, come join me brothers.

You could get a really nice tab if you returned both and used that money...
Well I just returned my Nook, I absolutely loved the device, but I did not feel like fighting the uphill battle and never knowing if an OTA update would stop me in my tracks.
Best of luck to everyone that keeps trying.
Returning mine as well...
and buying a Nook Color. **** you B&N, I will still hack your device and use it how I, the ****ing customer, want to. Take my money
While I am not happy that BN is locking the Tablet down, I do have complete faith in the awesome developers here on XDA.. I am sure they will crack it in no time flat...
For that reason I am keeping mine.. People are seriously over reacting to this... Manufacturers do it all the time and it is cracked all the time...
there's also no reason to think that they WILL keep on this way. wow some people are so negative.
i have one, it's rooted, and according to this site, all automatic updates are blocked by the rooting method. I'm not sure why everyone is throwing a fit, it's not like BN is the first company to patch an exploit in an update or to have a locked bootloader.
I was thrilled when the Tablet S first came out and really loved its unique design and Sony customizations. But I was invested in other Android devices at the time, and I never purchased one.
But over the weekend, I finally pulled the trigger and got a great deal on a new 32Gb Tablet S with Cradle on Woot.com.
I know I am little late to the party and I don't have any questions - most seem to be answered here. Just wanted to say that I am excited to join up with all of you!

Congrats. Its a one of a kind tablet that is also very functional. A few things that bother me are the wifi instability and frequent ics screen flicker. Hopefully those software issues get addressed by the supposed 4.1 update sometime in a near near future.
I made the same buy and got mine today. Did ICS update and then a hard reset. Everything is running great so far. Only played with it for a bit.
It is a sexy piece... 399+ was too much, but for 260 I felt good about purchase.

I havent yet unboxed it.. vacation bills are all coming due and the expenditure might raise tempers, but it was too good a deal to pass up.
Of course, I also know that I better unbox it soon and make sure it works, knowing Woot.

According to their update they are getting KK update on their smartwatches? How? Can we have some too? Maybe we can borrow / beg for the AI Rom / source
I don't get that...
They raised 32000$ of 100000$ and they said it'll be founded?

Yup, on indiegogo.com you can choose "flexible funding" which means that even if just a few people purchase then they still get the goods or if its another type of project then it helps someway to give the creator something than nothing.... IG takes a much higher cut to stop people going too made with flex funding..
llepen said in the beginning of the year that MediaTek would have KK ready in April, today he wrote KKin July. So MediaTek schedule has slipped too.
AI Watch is not released yet...
It'll be same story again, just like TS and Omate...
It's great to develop and to support developers and new projects but I won't pay a penny or support with a cent those kinds of project.
It's clearly only for taking money and sending Chinese, plastic crap (no offend, sorry) that has been produced two years ago...
LLP is the one that made me think and learned me not to trust founding campaign ever again...
I'll have to pay around 400$ for TS!!!???!!!
234$ is TS and everything else is for fine and customs...
That piece of plastic didn't cost more than 20$ in real world...
But hat down to LLP - greqt way to steal 1 million dollars.
You buy 5000 watches from Chinese company.
You hire three persons...
One kid who will adapt clean version of Android for device.
It's not important if anything works, it's only important that device can boot.
Second - one Mrs to pack them and send.
Third person is just for fun, your friend who'll travel with you and spend money...
Your total cost is around 100 000 $ so it's very easy to see how much money LLP stole from us...
There's no update, there will never be update...
What do you think, why all devs abandoned TS?
TS will never have iPhone support and even if they built KK for it, it'll be something very bad and something unfinished and not stabile...
It's sad that this kind of fraud is OK by KS standard, very sad...

I think your maths and sums might be off. I'm pretty sure production costs weren't factored in there. Not saying it'd be close to 100000 but I'm sure it would be more than that especially when you consider the testing and the broken/failed units. Who knows though!

Mate, they sold us old, "already in manufacturing" devices.
There's no testing, drawing or anything else...
That's the problem...
They said they will bring something new but they gave us crappie old watch, nothing new...with awful firmware.
That firmware will kill you battery in 30 days, no companion support, no iPhone support, old bare and plain android 4.2.2 and no sources...
All devs left because of those reasons, they don't want to be part of that scam...
I said 100000$ but that's not important...
What's important is that we have something that isn't even close to advertised device...
It's no 1.3gzh, it's not 5mox camera, there's no update, there's no swimming with it (remember first KS video?) that was the reason many users pladged - take your watch to places you never take your smartphone....
Where is that?
I have Z1 and rain isn't problem with it...
All I'm saying is - that's not something I would support if I knew things I know now...
If you are satisfied with it, that's great...
I know I'm not...and I still don't have it...
To be honest I don't even want it...
I said, I'll probably sell it, - that's the most likely scenario...

You'll be happy when you have it but yeah the lack of support and crappy ostore etc are kinda of downers. Out of the box after putting Loki's patch (so grateful for that) it does what I want. I bought mine as something to use for running and my Note 2 is way too big for that. This serves it's purpose but for something that actually works as a companion etc you're right it doesn't seem to be doing what I want. Annoyingly the Moto 360 might be the one to wait for but as far as I know it's not standalone and is likely to cost over £300. However with this thing costing me £140 it's still a great deal as a fitbit or withins pulse is around £100 as it is.
When you see things like the AI watch and a few others, the TS looks positively elegant, there isn't actually anything like it, even the X201's are quite techy looking... TBH what the TS does do, it does it fairly well, it's just having the time to get the user experiences right.....
@funky0308 - to add fuel to the fire the Z8 (omate clone) is selling for $150 for the 4gb model.
Someone has purchased it and testing it out, see the Z8 thread. If it's decent it might be a possibly for me too ... without all the torture.

Also have a couple of touchstones that are only being used as stands for my samsung.

I'd be happy to see if I could get one or both of those working and set them up with KK so that my kids can be on equal footing. I'm not familiar with 'collection' or 'SAE', my wife deals with shopping and shipping a lot more than I do. Do you have any takers yet?

SAE stands for self addressed envelope, yes one the big contributers has also asked for one. I believe that shipping cost to the US /Canada are approximately £20 ($32).I'm happy giving them away and will probably chuck in a Touchstone with each but don't want to be out £40 ie 20 per.
I will check on the cost and report back .
Roland you definitely have one to play with, I can't believe that haven't got one bearing in mind all the tutorials you have done.
If you and Roland are OK with that I'll get it organised next week or when ever is convenient.
Please note that I can't guarantee that you are able to get it to charge. They haven't been dropped but just refused to charge. Hopefully if you can't get it working you can cover your costs by selling for part's.

Hey, I ran this idea by my wife, and while I thought it was a stellar idea, she didn't agree. I really appreciate the offer, so I won't be able to go through with it after all. Sorry
Hey buddy, i would be glad to take one of those off of your hands along with the touchstone, i live in Colorado, please pm me and I'll get you whatever you need to get it out to me, thanks!
I would like one please, I'm here in the UK west middle-lands which would make it easier for you.
Hi
If you still have one of these I would love to have a play with it. I am actually in Brighton so could collect from you as long as you are accessible by bus (I don't drive)
Have you left them on the charger for hours??? I had the issue a couple times where they wouldn't charge, but after leaving them on the charger for hours they finally came back to life. Also, does the little light flash across the home button when you put them on a charger?
I am also interested. Any chance either of the TouchPads are the white 64-gig devices?
I understand at this point I am last in line, so if other takers back out, please let me know. I can paypal you the money ASAP.
--McBean
I'll take one. I need it for parts.
@sstar Great thing you're doing, happy with my touchpads but would love a touchstone if you have one still. Contribution wise, my Touchpad Automated Installer has had 17500+ downloads so helped a fair few people!

I deserve an invite because ...
I started this thread
Invites are needed again?
Sent from my LG-H815
I genuinely want this phone and hope someone is kind enough to throw me an invite!! Paying it forward is an awesome (and rare) thing to do these days.
I have gone mad by using HOX+ and his 3 hours SOT battery and now I am looking for something new but cheaper. I wanted to buy Oneplus One but thetn I read that Oneplus Two is coming. I would be very happy if someone is good enough to share invite with me.

I deserve it because.....
I'm really cute
And I'm giving up on htc One X and htc one m8. They are great phones...but I want more!
Please, share the invite with me too....
Thank you in advance! - And now you are cutie too :good::fingers-crossed:
*sigh*
this again... I would like an invite but even more I'd like the ability to just order the phone... without this invite game. No one liked it the first time (well no one without invites) so why repeat it? I have to earn the right (lotto or sweepstakes style) to pay full price for a phone... really? Only thing that will help is if they have a crazy number of invites. I would actually prefer them wait until they have enough stock before selling the phone and just have a normal preorder then regular order system.... even if that means it wont come out for another 6 months.... think I'm crazy? You probably wont even earn an invite until then anyways.... I wasted so much time trying to get an invite for the oneplus one that eventually I lost interest all together.
If this phone is priced the same as others ($600-700) I think sales will suffer due to this invite system and there wont be a one plus 3. I hope I'm wrong... but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane... Oneplus one launch was NOT a success but a failure... so repeating that is a bad idea (the metric to judge this is it was a desired phone by by the time everyone could get an invite they were so pissed that they didn't want it even when they had invites... I couldn't give my invites away). I'm hoping this time they will be more prepared and send out 200,000 invites a day at LEAST.
Sorry had to be said
*drops mic*
From a buyer point of a view the invite system is as annoying as it can be, but from their POV it was a success.
They did not antecipate or have the resources to meet the demand without cutting it with the invites.
They also do not spend money on marketing so the invite system is free publicity, hey arent we doing it right now?
Im looking for a replacement for my N5 so maybe the OPT might be it, we'll see when the specs are out.
I'd like an invite because I'm curious about Oneplus phones. While I won't just go get the One because the 2 is right around the corner, I'd like to give it a try. I've been forever stuck on brand name phones, changing phones out every year, I'd like a phone that has a great price point.

I think the price was what made them successful not the invite system. The big thing that hit the media was a top of the line phone with midrange price. The invite system brought frustration and the same media outlets that praised them at first turned against them. Now their name is out and they do not need to play with invites... Bringing that back would be a mistake. Maybe as a pre-release - get your hands on the device before launch thing but other than that I see it as a bad idea. If they just release normal they will probably win the market. If they keep playing games it will be their down fall. Yes, I agree from their POV they may think it was a success but it brought frustration. I do know they did not have a choice but this year they do, if they anticipate high demand put off the launch until they can fill most orders within the first or second month. If people know a decent ETA of when they can have the phone in their hand it will restore faith in their buyers. Problem solved. ☺

Australia shipping maybe?
An invite and local Australian shipping would be great. Don't like having to give other people money just to get phone into Australia when they could just list it as an option.
I deserve an invite because my dad is still using a laggy Nokia c7.
I'm looking forward to getting one too! If someone ever got one, I'm already in the line ahah
Give me an invite, or don't, doesn't really matter to me. It would just be nice to have a phone that isn't locked down tighter than Guantanamo (current Verizon S5 user).
I would love an invite as I'm currently running an HTC One M7 with the horrid pink/purple camera issue. I don't have a spare phone and use it for work so I couldn't deal with sending it in for warranty repairs, and I'm waiting until August before my contract is up with AT&T to get a new phone without paying full price. Either way, all of the current options this time around just don't entice me, but being able to get a flagship-level phone out of contract for (assuming) not $600+ would be great.
As an upcoming university student this fall, budgets and money is very slim for me. It sucks because my hobby and passion of having the best devices is very expensive. I love my Nexus 4 because it provides great experience and was very affordable, and the One Plus Two will continue that for me. Would LOVE an invite Thank you !
hi, I would like to receive an invite because I'm fed up with these brads that are selling in my country. you could only buy samsung, HTC, LG, Apple,... no other brads. Can you please send me an invite?
