Anyone want to sell their skyfire beta 1 for $20?
Before you get ripped of, let me just tell you its device locked.
So, people can sell you the cab, and the user account/pass and it still wont work with your phone.
Sadly, I think you already bought one
Being that I have never seen the profile, thought some things were configurable like phone number, email etc. Apparently not . Haven't used one yet anyhow, but thanks.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think the man had some good advice. There are a lot of things that were not right with this phone out of the box, a couple tweaks and it runs great.
Here is a link to official VZW 6.5:

About the early upgrades, I've heard of it happening, especially if you can provide real examples of the phone not functioning regularly. It will require persistence.

I think your last statement sums up how you feel, and from reading your previous posts as well, have felt about learning to use the phone.
Early upgrades are rare on verizon. The best bet would be opening a case at a verizon store with the problems you are experiencing and to go back to the same store multiple times with the same problem. If you are really interested in staying w/ VZW I would suggest waiting until the 25th to use the upgrade (since that is when the HTC Incredible is coming out). Also, a couple years back they gave me the 1 year upgrade price when my treo started giving me problems, so it definitely is possible to get something out of them.
Perfect, that's what I needed to know. Thanks
I would like to start a poll. I know this will be criticized, but I have to ask.
How long does everyone think it will be until the Incredible is rooted?
The Incredible appears to be a success. I bought the last one at Best Buy where I live, watched three others show up asking for it while mine was being turned on, bought a case at verizon two days later and watched every. single. person. that came in ask for an incredible. So obviously our community will grow quickly.
I read where Modaco says of the Desire that the level of security is growing, and its like a chink in armor, and I know the N1 as my first Android phone spoiled me. But let's just go with crowdsourcing here, and guess a timeline for rooting.
No offense to you, but all of these root and unlock threads before the root/unlocker comes out just end horribly.
I've been around long enough to realize that happens everytime a new phone comes out, just as an fyi.
But considering it's the first Snapdragon on Verizon, and we're in May already, I'd say next month sometime (More so me hoping since I'm up for upgrade on the 26th).
Hey everyone,
Even back in my n900 days I so wanted a Powermat. Now that I've got a (what could be) somewhat popular device, I was hoping they'd make one for it.
Anyone else interested, or am I alone in this?
If there are enough of us, I suggest we all send emails to them requesting that they build one!
it's doubtful that they would...feeling adventurous?
you can probably hack it to work with a touchstone.

Anyone lost their money from them?
I actually bought twice from them in the past but this time it's been more than 2 weeks and my order still shows New. A friend told me that his order is still new after 40 days. I know they will ship it at some point in time, maybe 2-3 months but I was actually thinking to cancel the order. On the other hand it's about 100EU cheaper than anyone else. All those issues with HOX also made me cool down and add a plus on those thoughts and I'm also making thoughts for SG3.
I know, all review sites on Internet have them very low rated (one star) but still they are by far the cheapest.
Any of you guys lost his money from them?
I didn't personnally buy from them but when i was planning to i did a little a search and found that it's really not recommended, some product arrive very late others never.
Yeah, when I saw those reviews I just didn't care anymore... I'd rather pay 100€ more and actually receive the product than to pay less and get burned...
Now th big concern is if you cancel or not. I've seen that most people who lost their money is when they attempted to cancel orders or claiming funds. That gives them the chance to "confuse" things and keep your money while not sendingany product. Here's the question: to cancel or not to cancel?
I'm a gambler so, I'll take my chances and play heads or tail. I'll give some more days though but in the meantime I recommend that noone uses them. I guess that some people, like myself, don't learn from our past mistakes.

in our country they sell the HOX 700 euros so they are poushing us to buy throu ather countrys
i wish one day they will come to there senses and sell things in a more logical prices
I ordered an HTC Desire HD from them last year. It was taking ages and I cancelled the order. They only cancelled it after 2 weeks chasing them about the cancellation. Finally, after a couple of weeks and tons of emails and threats I got a refund. They have awful support and I do not recommend ordering from them.
Not to mention that the product comes from Hong Kong, so you will need to contact HTC to check if they cover warranty.
I bought my LG Optimus 2x from them, it took ages to arrive but it did in the end. It was a hell of a lot cheaper than everyone else too. Heard some bad things about them so I probably wouldn't use them again though.

I bought 2 cameras from them till date and they both arrived in time as described. The 2 purchases were a year apart. The second camera though had a European battery charger. Apart from the above I haven't had to use warranty on either indicating the items must be genuine.
Mind it - for whatever good or bad reason, I hadn't researched anywhere before buying from them. Had I known about their reviews, I would not have bought from them.
My friend recently purchased ipad2 from them but cancelled it before they despatched and got refunded without any hassle.
Don't know what to advice you but hope the above experiences shared help.

Not worth the trouble!
Just come across this post and thought I'd share my experience (to back up the thousands of others you can find on the net) about how ridiculous SimplyElectronics are as a company and to avoid them if you care for your sanity.
I placed an order for a Galaxy Nexus on 30/06/12, enticed by the low price and 'expect delivery in 2-4 days' advertisement. After 6 days of the order being stuck at 'New' (which I found out means that they haven't even processed the order, it means they have accepted your offer of purchase, which means that they take the money out of your bank, and then do nothing for a while) and after sending a few emails asking why my order hadn't been processed even though the Live Stock Report said there were plenty in stock, I decided to cancel my order on 5/06/12. They asked me why, I explained that I needed the phone as I work offshore and was going away, and had ordered it elsewhere from a more efficient company. They said they understood my decision and my refund request had been passed to the relevant department. I left it for a few days. Then when 10 days later the money hadn't been returned I started emailing them again. I have now been sending emails daily asking for my refund, yet 24 days after cancelling my order I'm still receiving apologetic emails saying they're trying their hardest.
I guess the short version of my warning to others is this is not a company you should conduct business unless you have the patience of a God. I know from looking around other sites I'm not the only one who has been a victim of their incompetence. I'm sure they have 10's of satisfied customers all around the globe, I just wish I'd done more reading first. If you can find the product elsewhere that costs slightly more than they are selling them for, pay the extra, it will save you alot of time.

It's a lottery, do a bit of googleing, there's forums dedicated to pissed off customers.

becouse i think about possible problems with the device
I've posted on Facebook, Google + and anywhere else I could think of after my recent attempt to get a One X from them.
Web showed stock, blurb said dispatched & delivered in 3 to 8 days. Took my money immediately and then the problems started.
Used Barclaycard fraud department to get my money back while I fought SE for a refund. 13th May to today spookily enough to get my refund.
God knows how many calls & emails...
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
And if you already have, use your card company to get your money back.
Just stop right here. If any manufacture start too sell massively obviously some phones will have problemes like 10%. If you see the most popular phones have problemes.
I've got mine and its a model ht23 without any problemes its the first hox I have and the only.
And with expansys you will have internacional warranty for 2years and houses for support on your country. Trust in expansys!

hmm and what about oll these negative posts??
I did indeed NerdGuy, sorry! But working with Simply Electronics the months just seem to blend into each other it takes that long. I was told today that my refund will be with me within 7 days, I'm neither holding my breath nor stopping the daily emails, after 27 days of asking I fail to believe they'll pull their finger out any time soon.
I learnt the hard way also over a month to get my 500$ back. Since then anything expensive I buy in person regardless if it's $100 cheaper online.
