So I ordered my M001 off eBay on Friday - 92 bucks including UPS 3Day shipping to the US. Patience pays on eBay. ;DI bought this unit primarily as a geek toy and am optimistic that I will get my money's worth. I have some experience with embedded systems and am also pretty savvy with my soldering station, both skills I plan to use on my unit. One goal is an internal 4G Wimax upgrade, as Clear 4G Wimax (www.clear.com) is available in my city and to improve the batteries (got some RC background when it comes to LiPOs). Beyond that, we have lots of apple fans where I work and I am trying to counter-steer a bit with the 'droid.

Hello SlateDroid!First post - here's my story...I was going to order from DealExtreme, but I've had a bad experience with them in the past (never got one of the items I ordered, and they have YET to even reply to my emails about my missing item), so I went ahead and did some late night eBay sniping and got one on its way for $92.xxVery anxious to get it, as I have many things in mind for it.Interested in: adding more ram, replacing batteries, r00t, droid 2.2, possible camera addon, etc...(am I missing anything?)

[/quote]haha, I think those might be just a tad more difficult.GPS would probably happen before 3G, but still...........
[quote author=itanium link=topic=191.msg2396#msg2396 date=1274911091]which seller did you guys went into for 92USD incl. shipping?[/quote]I simply searched for "android 7" and then sorted by "ending soonest."I found one that would end after 11pm PST (so I could possibly out-snipe those East Coasters [haha]), and ended up watching quite a few. The one I ended up getting was NOT a buy it now, so the buyer doesn't matter - it's simply a matter of skilled thought on which ones to bid on (based on the ending time), and getting LUCKY!Not that the prices on some other sites are that much higher than I paid, I just feel that if there's an issue with my transaction, I have enough direct numbers to eBay and PayPal that I'm confident that I will get my issues resolved (at least I have every time so far).

My seller FINALLY replied with my tracking number (even though I requested it in the NOTES section during the payment process within eBay/PayPal).I should get mine tomorrow!Had it delivered to work so I'd get it quicker, and will be updating firmware as soon as the box is open (well, maybe a LITTLE after).Here's my tracking details if it will help anyone else in their wait...Status: In Transit - On Time Scheduled Delivery Date: 06/01/2010Shipped To: SACRAMENTO, CA, US Shipped/Billed On: 05/28/2010Type: PackageService: UPS SAVERWeight: .90 Kg
