Broken N9
 

this device is not mine anymore.

I don't think you get much for that Mike. Why not fix it your self and then sell it?

What's the shape of the body? Scratches, chips, etc?

LOL and SAD

Paypal is for those who do not care

Re: Broken N9
 

i cant understand your opinion, do not care for what?

Re: Broken N9
 

May I suggest:
development device for juiceme (if he likes/needs)?
Or maybe other kernel compiling/providing members? Jackburton, NielDK, coderus come to my mind (do not have bitcoin).

or other contributing members!

Re: Broken N9
 

I can take it, but i can only pay with paypal.

Re: Broken N9
 

That is a nice idea, and I could really use one as I am currently fairly often out of communication with people as I tweak boot with my N9 which is my main (only really) phone.
It does create some tension now and then as somebody tries to call me :)

@mikecomputing, are you not doing any development yourself then? A device with no screen is OK for all kinds of kernel tweaking activities...

Feel free to google around for any number of problems with PayPal as a company, both general screwing-their-own-users garden variety stuff and larger ethically more relevant issues.

Or, as an example, try moving or receiving and unusually (for your typical use of your PayPal account) amount of money through their systems. It's like playing Russian Roulette, s/bullet/frozen paypal account and assets/

And let's just hope you never get an itching to support a cause like Wikileaks, because you certainly won't be able to through Paypal (speaking of, last I checked Paypal never did release the many thousands worth of funds that Wikileaks had in their Paypal account when they froze it on a whim).

Edit: and yes, I happen to use PayPal myself, so to a minor extent I am a hypocrite, but the unfortunate reality is that in many cases they are the only option. I also have a VISA credit card, and they as well as most any credit card processor are guilty of things similar to PayPal. But that's part of the point, about "it's for those who don't care". If enough people did care about the issues at hand and avoided using those things as much as possible on principle, we wouldn't have this situation where the majority of the options are somehow problematic.

Well. For me paypal is the best service for paying for goods.
I'm not using it for any other operations, you right. And i think it simple and stable service :)

Re: Broken N9
 

What really sucks is that I JUST bought an N9 (not migrating from the N900 by any means, just wanted to get one as a lower-level priority for a while now, so that I can maybe get some development done on it as well).

Looking at the screen situation, it looks like I could've probably paid for the BitCoin to cover shipping, and bought a full screen replacement, for cheaper than what I ended up spending on the N9 I got (only would've been about $20-$30 USD cheaper most likely, but any money saved is good).

Oh well. This way it may go to someone for whom it would be more useful, such as a developer that has the skills and time needed to do the kinds of development that make having an extra N9 particularly useful.

Re: Broken N9
 

I'm glad you've added that clause, considering your signature :)

Off-topic: Here in the UK PayPal pretty much mandates that you link your PayPal account with a bank current account. Does the same happen in other countries?

Re: Broken N9
 

I had PayPal but heard too many nightmare stories of hijacked accounts used to launder money. I just didn't feel safe with my info and closed them for good.

Re: Broken N9
 

My many years overdue signature that I just added last night at that (just think of the 1-2 USD in donations I probably missed by not having that signature since I joined).

But yeah, I figured that if I didn't add that clause, some would feel the need to take issue with that, lol.

They don't per-se require it here in the US, but depending on what you mean, they may do exactly the same stuff. I know there's some features that they want you to link a bank account for, so if you need those features then you pretty much have to, but I haven't needed any of those features enough thus far to even remember exactly what they are. :)
