am I pretty much screwed on the upgrade and need to pay retail if I want the 3D?
I'm on SERO also.. I knew the 3D was coming out but there was no way I could wait for 2.5 months due to needing a better phone for work.
Before that I had a Moto q9c for 3 years which wasn't cutting it.
Anyone ever have experience with this?
I gotta say man, patience is your friend. 60 days of Moto Q9c wouldn't have killed you.
IMHO, just buy it from Amazon @ $469 (Total).

Well I knew it was coming out, there was just really no way I could have waited.
I got a new job in April and desperately needed a better phone that could do everything a modern Android phone is capable of.
The painless way to do it is if you're paid bi-weekly, save $113 from 4 checks & you'll have it in est. 2 months from Amazon. (Again, patience is your friend, don't go spending it.)
And hey, by that time, it may have root & roms available.

lol yea, well I have the money, just don't like paying full retail for phones.
I was planning on waiting for more dev support anyways, dunno how I could go back to a non-rooted phone. Plus I spent so many hours theming my phone to get it looking good
Fieldrunners on android! finally! ok not free only 99 cents still a win
http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...utm_campaign=Feed:+droidgamers+(Droid+Gamers)
They can't change a free app to paid on the Market, so now instead of being free the 1st 24hours, it's going to be .99 cents then up to the 2.99 regular price.
should just make it amazons app of the day.
I'm excited! This was one of my fav games on my iPhone before it got 5 finger discounted off me.
Can't wait to play it on a 4.3 inch screen. Bring it, well worth 2.99 and glad to pay .99

It's not free anymore. Anyways, is there a way to get these games for free onto our device. This is my first android. I haven't done research yet so I'm hoping someone can give me some insight, I'm being lazy again. I'm not cheap just broke, haha. (OK I'm cheap too)

Just search for the app name with apk after it on Google or get 4shared from the market
Don't call me cheap I have bought apps before...

LoL it cracks me up how people will spend hundreds of dollars on these smartphones, screen protectors, expensive cases, insurance over the course of a contract hundreds more. As soon as you ask them to pay $.99 to support a dev giving them an app to enjoy in this case(or better their experience with system apps)it is all of a sudden too much to ask.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS of free games and apps if you can no longer afford a few dollars every so often stick to those.

It costs developers time and money to produce an app. Why is it wrong for them to ask for a small fee? People don't want ads, but then complain when a developer wants to put out an ad free product at a nominal price. And what you were talking about in your previous post is piracy. I understand not having money. In that case if you don't have the money to buy something don't, but also don't think that makes stealing it ok.

It affects all of us.
Regardless, use common sense. Do you really think going to a DEVELOPER SITE and asking to pirate apps is a good idea?
Not to mention against the rules

Pirating these games is just assholish if you ask me. Just pony up the 99 cents.
So none of you pirate videos, music, software, games or anything like that then do you. If you do, don't say its different because its not, your a hypocrite. I do donate to ROM developers on here, nothing huge, usually $5.
Also, maybe i should specify that I don't care for the games they have on the app store. I would prefer PS1 games or if possible PSP games. Maybe that will change your minds, I got rid of robo defense right away and I dont want this fieldrunners game. I dont do angry birds or any of those, so sorry I wasn't clear, but I bought my fair share of PS games and I feel I can get them back on my phone for fun.

No, I don't. Besides, you run a much greater risk of picking up some malware or something with those stolen apps you find.

Just a word to wise, asking how to get free paid apps on a Developers site is an instant flame.
Cmon man, you're a Senior member!!!
Honestly, its just $0.99. Give up a cheeseburger or fries for one day and you get the real deal.
I admit I pirated a couple of apps, BUT I do eventually buy them to get the updates or if I use them more than a day or two.
Im not really keen on paying $5 for something ill only use once, or god forbid 16 minutes. A lot of apps I noticed are fighting piracy buy selling a key or license to unlock the full version. That's fine with me.
I agree people have money for internet and cell phones but wont pony up a dollar for a game. I think you need a job or go back to school to get your life together.
What part don't you guys get, I don't want the $.99 cent apps. I read they have older PS1, Nintendo etc games that have been converted to play on phones. I also seen it on the apps store to get the downloads for $4.99 but to me that seemed odd. The app wasn't for the games but for an app to DL the games. I thought I was clear I didn't want this app so for people to continue to say $.99 I don't get it. Also, if you think I care about flame then your wrong. I'm helpful to people, and mean to those who are arrogant, so if you think I'm being arrogant then it doesn't bother me at all if your hating on me. We all have opinions, I'm asking for an answer and the smartest on i got besides the .apk one, was about the viruses.

Looking for something fun to do this Labor Day weekend? Forget the BBQ, it’s time to play some video games.
Gameloft has just started a brand new promotion today (lasting through the 5th) in which they will be giving away their “most popular and iconic Android games” for absolutely free. Which games are going to be included? You’re gonna have to watch Gameloft’s social networks to find out. Here’s how it works:
•Follow Gameloft on Twitter
•Like Gameloft on Facebook
•Watch for Gameloft to tweet or share the free game
•Rush to download, because you’ve only got two hours!
In addition to the free games, Gameloft is also having a $0.99 sale on all their games for Android. Every single one. You can only access the sale by going to Gameloft’s special link found here. You’ve only got five days to download and save
Here is the link for the $0.99 games.
http://www.gameloft.com/android-hd-games/?ms_sid=4&adid=166527&ms_sid=4&country=223
So are they going to send out stuff On both facebook and twitter or just one at a time?
Why does gameloft only show me the 3d games they have all the rest for the sensation?

I purchased Lets Golf2 so my kid would have a decent game to play when I need to keep her occupied lol. I went through the "enter your model" steps and paid via paypal ... transaction was successful. However when I click on the download button i get a message that some sai.sprintinstaller.com or something is currently unavailable. Did i do something wrong? Could this be because my phone is rooted and running a custom rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

wait what rom are you using that could be the problem since some Devs remove bloat and that may have been under bloat
I am running Viper Rom but have removed extra stuff that viperboy left in it ... i bet thats my problem.
Any idea how come when i go to buy a app for 99cents, I go to pay on Bill, it says it can't process it so I got to pay with my pay pal, and it says its charging me the full $4.99! If I continue with the buy will it change to 99cents?

Who preordered the Nexus 7 tablet??? i did anyone else??
Pre-ordered the 16gb shortly after it was available. Google said I wouldn't be charged until it was shipped. I was charged immediately. So I expect to get it in 2 days.
I ordered one.
I like my Kindle Fire but I wanted bluetooth and some other goodies that the kindle was missing.
I ordered one too. I have some long flights coming up in August and was thinking about getting something to play with, this came along at the right time to trigger an impluse buy. Hopefully, I won't regret it.
Yeah just pre-ordered as well - very excited about it
I also pre-ordered the 16 GB one. I offloaded my KF tonight on Craigslist. The one thing that surprised me was the final cost with tax and shipping was $282. A bit steep but should be worth it! I wish Google would have done free shipping for pre-orders. I was already charged too which surprised me.
i also pre-ordered the 16gb one.. cant wait!
Ordered the 16GB one. Cost is £208.99 including shipping.
Well worth it!
I've been waiting for a "nexus" tablet for at least a year, the minute it became available I ordered the 16gb.. at $259 (cdn) it was a no-brainer.. Up until a few weeks ago I was prepared to spend $400-700 for one, super excited!
charged the CC imediately??

I saw a couple people post that they were charged immediately. Im looking for some clarification I know usually this isnt how it should work and as you said should be charged upon shipping. Many times they will charge a dollar or just check to make sure there are funds in the account but dont actually put a charge through, can you verify that the funds were removed from your account. Also, does anyone know what the deal is with the nexus 7 appearing to run some version of the phone OS and not the Tablet OS interface, should i be put off by this or is it something that can be changed easily enough. Thanks

The funds have been deducted from my account although it is still pending. It usually takes 3 days for a pending charge to go through and I don't doubt it will. I have 2 other unrelated charges made the same day that are the same status. I assume its because I used a debit card. I've seen many others in the same situation.
Yeah it looks like a phone OS. I'm used to that running CM7 on my Nook Color. By the time it ships it may be different. It really doesn't bother me either way.

Interesting, thank you. My only real experience is with the HP touchpad running CM9 and that has the tablet UI which i do prefer a bit over the phone UI, i wander if this is something that can be "tweaked".

With it in the hands of so many devs already I would say probably.
I ordered mine last night!
Dont mind paying the shiiping as I have read there is virtually no markup on device..
Cant wait to get it. I didnt pay attention to if it hit my account now or later and dont really care as long as i get it mid july as stated on their site... But, I wont cry if it comes earlier!
I hope so

Ha, i believe you are indeed correct, but as both a noob to the site and really to the android experience over all I'd rather ask first, than to appear a fool and pretend to know something i dont. Interestingly enough, the Dev. version from the conference is actually a unit with a white rubber back, not gray, it looks fairly nice as well, honestly looks like a golf ball.
I am going crazy here! I have called nearly every Wal-Mart in town and no one knows ANYTHING about the Nexus 10. Does anyone have a UPC number from Wal-Mart they can share? Then maybe I can get these guys to look this up.

My local Walmart mentioned that they don't expect to carry it until, at the earliest, the following week after release.

Walmart is basically a wast of time no one seems to know anything. I'm never going back! The electronics department reminds me of 60's decor, they actually had a pastel green/blue computer. Google should rethink who they associate with.

That thread is a wasteland that's impossible to find anything in.
I finally found a competent employee at Walmart last night. The guy had his nerd on and knew exactly what I was talking about, he said the lack of information they've been given about it says they're at least a week away. His best advice was to keep checking their website and have it delivered to the store when it does come in stock.

First-world problems, indeed.
I would agree with most people saying that google shouldn't sell to Walmart, but in some ways I prefer them over best buy. I mean best buy would be great if they could keep anything that is even remotely popular in stock. On at least three occasions I have gone their and tried to buy products that aren't even in high demand and every time I have had to either go to another store or order it off amazon.. I wish amazon wasn't their direct competitor, because it would be so much easier to order from them.
Wallyworld has the best return policy called no questions asked.

yeah I went by walmart on my way home from work today and they didn't know anything about it but had about a dozen nexus 7's :/
I'm guessing it won't be until next week maybe that there will be some sort of availbility on google's website such that I won't have to watch the web site like a hawk and refresh every 5 minutes.

The skew number for the Walmart Nexus 10 is.... 88727601774 however, it won't give associates any info on arrival, only that it is in the system.
Out of frustration and impatience. Just bought a Note 10.1 from my Walmart. Sometimes you just have an itch. Hopefully the Nexus 10 arrives during my return window.

Since no B&M stores have it, I am wondering if Google pulled their intended stock to meet Play Store demand. Why there is no word on when they will start showing up?? How about an announcement with an expected arrival time. It's like all the info is top secret or something and we play guessing games.

Possibly, but the Nexus 4 sold out too yet if you go to any O2 store you can ask them and they'll have one. So I'm not sure about that.

This WalMart thing is killing me. I was planning on just ordering the 16GB from the Play Store, but I have 35 dollars in a WalMart gift card, and with the shipping costs I would save picking it up at a store, it would only be like 50 more out of pocket for the 32 GB model.But since not all WalMarts are going to be even carrying it, I might be waiting around for nothing.
