I emailed the guy at egadgetsdepot.com and he says they are in stock ready to ship out. I'm ordering 3 right now for overnight shipping to arrive here by Tuesday. I'll let you guys know.
Well, he's probably out of stock now, then. I ordered one at 08:14pm, and if ltxda, just ordered 3 (I think with something this hot, it should be 1/customer) that takes up the 4 he had left that he communicated to me exactly 55 minutes ago.

I can't wait than for Tuesday to hear if you got your device.
I'm very impressed with Stan over at E-gadget Depot. He already sent me the UPS tracking number to ship on Monday with Next Day Air. Too bad my UPS guy always comes in the evening At least I'll finally have it on Tuesday. It seems like I've been waiting forever! I'll let you all know when it shows up.
Don't forget to put some info today about your Advantage
I'm olaying with my one right now. Just oicked it up from inkino on tcr. Laptop? that's for children..
Tell me what do you think of build quality of your Advantage?
GOT IT!!!
I got my Advantage/x7500. Came in on Tuesday like Stan promised. They are great at EGadgetDepot.com.
I already have TomTom working on it with a bunch of other software. Only warning I can tell you is DO NOT install the GPRS Monitor that comes on the utility CD. It kept locking up my device.
I'm looking for some desktop enhancements but can't find the post. Anyone can direct me to it?
Also, someone wanted some graphics off of this thing. If you tell me which one you want and how to get it I'll gladly post it up for you.
One more thing...Since I'm in the US and use TMobile, I had to change the band on the phone for it to work. In case anyone runs into this. I initially thought it was my SIM but it was just the band setting.

I don't see any problems with the build quality. I keep wanting to wash my hands because the black glossy keeps picking up my finger prints.

when you say desktop enhancement, what do you mean? please explain a bit more what you want so the rest of us and help you out. btw, welcome to the Athena Family.
As for the black glossy finish, it's one of the thing which makes me think the silver one is better, it just way too easy to get your finger prints on, but at least for silver one, it not visible. Well i guess that is the price you have to pay if you want the sexy black look, just like lots of mobile out here, easy to get finger print one, but people still love it. Just Advantage is quite big, so more easy to get finger prints on and easier for people to see it as well.

I saw a post a while back that had software which allowed you to change the look of the desktop. The "Start" menu looked more like the WinXP Start menu and it allowed you to make the Today screen look MUCH MUCH better. I'm still searching because it was within one of the forums on this site. Annoying when I can't find what I'm looking for.
Oh...and thank you for the welcome. Glad to be part of the new family! This phone is AWESOME!!!

There are lots of software out there which makes your Today screen looks nice, for changing the start bar: use Wisbar Advance, for today screen, use iLauncher or SPB Pocket Plus, and Pocket Breeze.

ahhh i didnt't see their price! I just did a quick google product search and did it cheaper than the lowest found there, which was £469 justifying my £459 starting bid
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=htc+mozart&scoring=pd
You might get lucky on ebay either way, I've sold plenty of stuff there for above RRP.
How come you're selling? I played with one today, I really like the form factor. The screen not so much.

Yea got a bid so far! I personally dont like windows mobile 7, android all the way for me. This was the upgrade Orange offered as they dont have the HD for now and so getting this and selling it for one
I'm finding myself in a similar position, I wanted the HD but they have sent me this out. It'll be here Monday also. I imagine there will be more listings after Monday for sure, good thinking on getting that head start. I think I'd rather do that than pay £7 to send it back to Orange.

Exaclty yeah, I want the HD but they dont have it as of yet therefore selling the unwanted Mozart for it. I was the first on ebay but now there are 3 others, one of which was 'highly inspired' by the wording of my listing down to the letter at points lol but my lisitng is at £499 so far being lead by an American, perhaps they cant get this phone right now, VERY curious to see how high this goes!
I intend on picking up the HD from a Phones4u store as soon as the cash transfers

Well i find it Super intereting to modify and loading android onto the touch pad, but i have a asus TF, Works great, Love it.. but wondering would it be worth the hassle just to have a new toy to play with (mearly jut that reason)
i think a Bestbuy 40miles away may have a new shippment in today. but debating weather to go and buy 3 (me, mother,step dad) what your thoughts about this?
I think a better question is, can you find a Touchpad to buy? If you get one, you will definately be happy with the purchase. And if not, there are plenty of us out here that will be more than willing to take it off your hands.
Sent from my EverVolV Eris using XDA App
sounds good i would say yes and they is plenty of people who would take it off your hands
You should definitely buy at the PRICE at least for the hardware
yea i know the hardware veiw point im like "what for $99!!" but currently waiting to find as rumor has it.. new sale is bound to happen soon, ( as i read from many forum posts) but i think if i do I will buy it.. but i wont be heart broken if i dont...
Don't forget that if you get a TouchPad, you can also register for 50GB free storage at Box.net (you have to do it via the app on the TouchPad). Depending on what your storage habits and needs are, that might be worth taking into account.
I would say you should not buy it just so I have a better chance of getting another
Why do you need another tablet? That'd be my consideration.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
IF you can find one, buy it. Worst case someone will buy it from you if you don't like it.
Also I think Best Buy will limit you to one per customer, at least that's what one employee said his store was going to do.
well thismorning the local bb got a shipment and it was gone before i got there at 10am. Didnt think people of brownsville knew... :| but i think ill give up. Causeyeaidont need another tab, but wanted touse and play with it, moding hacking..etc. , i ill only by if i stumple on a online sale, but i now wont go out my way to buy one, good luck to all on getting a touchpad

one for development/hacking, one for useage. i assumed that would be obvious
I didn't see any reason not to buy it. If you can find one the are practically giving them away. I have a Xoom and love it but I can never have too many toys. Got one at Aarons rents yesterday.

The process I went through to figure out if a TP was really a good buy was to figure out what exactly I needed it for. I just can't justify spending $400-600 on a tablet that's not going to fill an integral part of my technology needs, but $100-200 (depending on size/shipping/etc) is a reasonable amount for me, even if Android never gets ported to it.
The UI is attractive, and there are enough games and apps that I could let my 3 year old play with it while supervised and it wouldn't be the end of the world if something happened to it.
While your situation is likely different, hopefully there is a bit of insight into my personal decision making process in deciding if a TP was a good value or not.
Of course you should buy it...then flip it for 2-3x the price. Then put that money towards an iPad. Then jailbreak and hack to your heart's content and/or develop apps for a viable market.
Then sell the iPad for near full retail right before the next iteration drops and either buy the newest version or three Nook Colors for your family members.

lamest advice ever
especially when there's people out there that honestly want this device to use or to develop with. this is xda, not slickdeals.

He wants to tinker around on android but he already has a transformer and you think his mother and step dad want to develop on a dead platform?
How are they going to use it? Browse the web one tab at a time? Read e-books with the broken app? Play movies on the gimped player? My guess is you don't actually have one.
My advise is not only solid but it's based on experience with all of the devices in question. But perhaps his parents are xda members
well i know they wont develop on this, i had mentioned to them its a tablet and if they wanted one they can get one (if found) for $100, i told her to look at youtube reviews about the TP, she liked and wanted one.. i wasnt one to mod, toy, develop, and since its not bad hardware. and i dont want to turn around and sell for $250 as i have seen on Craigslist.
we mainly want one due to the firesale Price of $99, but i am unablet to find one so i dont think i will get one. i am no noob when it comes to electronics and software. i wouldnt get a ios device since i dont like the feel of ios, nor apple software. android is nice love it, webos, havent really had enough time to play with it but seemed to be promising if HP let it grow more.nook color is a nice toy, but not really my flavor, now i think ill retire my TF (for modding)when TF2 comes out (Kal-El) platform, so yea

Yeah...so he should go buy a real tablet at full price and not screw people that want to actually develop for the touchpad...
Amazon is coming out with what will probably be a cheaper android tablet soon
To the OP: I hope you find what you are looking for though from your previous comment above. You seemed to thought things through at least
Pending on buying.. worth it?
The only reason why I'm even considering buying this is because I saw that android will be able to hopefully run on this and id like to see honeycomb as well as ubuntu on this and the price has become cheaper. I know you all here have it so i was wondering your personal opinions on the device.

Hannspad or HP Touchpad?
Hello!
Lately I have been looking at the Hannspad, but since the kernel hasn't been released I assume that the custom roms aren't as good as they could be (or am I wrong?).
So I was looking at the HP Touchpad instead, which has very nice specs (better than Hannspad? 1GB Ram & 1.2GHz snap, 10 point touch! Better price) and Android development for it is slowly starting for it, 2.3.5 is working and I hope they'll get it functional soon!
So what are your thoughts? Should I look at the Touchpad and see how development goes over the next three weeks or get the Hannspad ?
I'll buy in the beginning of next month, and I'd like to have a somewhat functional tablet, so what are your thoughts? Will the HP ever get ported so good, that it'll work 100%? How about hardware accel.
Thank you <3

I wanted to say thanks guys! All of you have been great and I have learned a lot about my touchpad. But on Friday I will be getting a Xoom. I like the touchpad but I really want Honeycomb. I like CM7 but I am kind of sick of it as I have it on my Nook and phone. So My touchpad will go on e-bay this weekend. I love Webos but I just dont see a real future in it (even with a new ceo). If they pick it back up and start putting out new stuff maybe i will return one day.
I know you guys will be rocking these things to the fullest!
Best of luck with your new device.
the whole community basically collapsed on itself. I don't think I'll be buying another tablet anytime soon. it's not worth it. Maybe 2020, things might improve... I'm throwing this TP in the trash..

Good luck with your new device but are you sure you wanna get the Xoom? You should really give the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 or 10.1 a try. Better yet, wait for the Sony Tablet S.

Personally, I would get a Xoom too, with it being Google's child basically, it's always going to be in the loop for things.
Good luck i would to recommend the sammy im gonna hold on a bit longer and wait for cm7 after a month the £89 i paid doesnt seem as much of a bargain

I don't know what the hell matter is over HP, and I used to trust HP a lot and still hold my confidence with those guys. But why HP just pick up some changing plans and move on? I still HP still have unique competitiveness in hardware field of IT industry.

How did Google Chrome get all it's apps?
Well i like the Samsung, but it does not have a SD slot, HDMI out (I think there is another one but i can remember). Now i could but the adapters for the Samsung but the hell with that lol.
The Xoom will not cost me a lot once i sell the TP. The xoom also has some great Roms, apps and accessory support.
I will miss the touchstone.. that's my favorite thing lol.
Good luck OP with your new device.
End of discussion, thank you.
Hi, i always wanted to have a Nexus 10, i really loved this tablet when it was announced but i never bought it because it was too expensive for me. Now i wanted do buy one, i found some great offers for 80-95 euros and i'm thinking on buying one.
Yesterday i fond somebody selling its nexus 10 that does turn off after the google logo for 25 euros including shipping. Do you think i should give it a try? I'm familiar with rooting, unlocking, flashing and so on so that is not a problem. But do you think it can be saved somehow?
Thanks!

hmm, the problem is i don't have the tablet so i can't check. I will ask the seller but if he understands what i want to do (he is selling it for spare parts) he'll probably change the price

Depends on the cost of a working Nexus 10 motherboard. Generally, swapping the motherboard fixes those types of issues, but might not be cost effective. You also have to be comfortable doing such an operation.
