Hint links devices for sale online
 
I thought it could be good to have own thread just for links to offers people come across online. I'm thinking like good offers and cheap prices.

Here is first:

Huuto.net: Nokia 770, N800, N810, N900, N9 http://www.huuto.net/kohteet/503649136

N770, N800, N810, N900, N9

Starting price is 179€ for all together, it has been for a while without anyone offering anything, 14 days left. I don't have money to buy it but if someone is reeaally interested I may be able to work as a middle man if you can't make the deal by yourself. Gonna help though only someone active member here. And the price may rise if some members from here are lurking there and waiting for the last minute before bidding.

Hi. Thank you for sharing this post.

Tempting, but says paying with cash only (bank transfer). This is too risky, I would prefer PayPal for instance, it charges 5% but provides safety.

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
The price has been lowered to 149€ and payment through bank seems to be an accepted method.

Huuto.net: Nokia 770, N800, N810, N900, N9 http://www.huuto.net/kohteet/504547143

So now it would be like 30€ each. But I just got bill of my folk music class for my two row accordion and there goes 250€. And I would only want to buy N810 and N900 and willing to pay 20€ each. But at the moment even that is not possible bend in my financial situation. On monday I found 30€ (20+10) on a ground in front of a kiosk. Took them inside and left them there if someone would come to ask. Left them my name so that if nobody comes I will pick them on friday. Had to go there on wednesday already cause my account was empty. Was so glad that no one had come to look for the money. Was a bit embarrased to go there early but could not wait on friday. One must eat.

Someone is selling a presale version of N900 online. 139€. Not sure if someone would be interested or if there is any benefit of it. Could it have something unlocked or something other needed information for Leste development?

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
The presale phone's price has gone down to 60€. Has a box and all bells and whistles with it.

LOL: pirate N900, Immediate buy 500€
Or bid, 42€ with reserve price.
They say the phone is installed with PwnOS.
Here is the ebay auction.

Maemish 2019-12-03 14:49

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
I have one N900 with that installed. I keep it in my closet. The boot video with an elvish/diabolic character whispering in a hizzing voice is too scary. I am always afraid the phone hacks my home router if I open it.

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
There's a few Prototypes up on Ebay at present. A few N950s, an E7 Engineering Proto too.

But is this Os something one can install or are these devices so unique?

edit: one thread about pwn

re #13: somebody didn't check prices & availability before starting that auction... well one can always try.
Also, the hero of Mr Robot uses a dead boring smartphone with no slideout keyboard whatsoever.

re #15: I'm amazed what price these N950s go for. Collector's item I guess.

Was #15 a N950 when you posted? I don't see it there. If so what was the asking price? #13 is very nice looking. Thanks!

Yes, among others, and for 700£ if memory serves... :eek:

Honestly, mine looks just as good. Used but in good condition. Or do you mean the OS? Some "hackers" might be very impressed by conky ;)

edit:
Just to be clear, there's nothing wrong with it - except the price.
"Reserve" means that the seller has a secret setting where the device won't be sold until a certain price is met - and judging from the Buy Now price, the reserve will be much higher than what N900s usually go for nowadays.

By shiny I meant it looks good to eye.
Just saw an N950 for $200 on ebay using your link. Has a large dot on the screen. What caused that? Is that fixable?

Unfortunately that seems to be the fate of these devices; the type of LCD that is used in N950 is such that sooner or later it starts to "rot" with black blotches, often looks like perfectly round balck cutouts in the screen.
It seems this is not related any way to mishandling or dropping the device or anything; I suppose the material of the LCD suffers some kind of chemical breakdown.

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
There is also this one for 30€ with shipping.
Usb broken, charger, nothing else.
So, it is cheap but you have to re-solder the usb.
I think the most part of the time will be spent in re-reading of all the threads about how to fix an usb port, to find the post with the bast advice. ;)
By the way, is there still somebody who has done that here?

If I can remember rightly, some re-soldered the USB port back onto the board and reinforced it with glue from a hot glue gun. A tricky task as the USB port was surface mounted to the board, so there were no legs going through the board to reinforce the socket.

I read it was more reliable to scratch the board from enamel around the plug and re-solder it widely to allow better reinforcement than adding glue as glue is too soft and elastic.
I'll give a try these days on an old n900 bard.

Done and working!
I explained how I did here

And by the way, don't throw your n900 with broken USB, fix them or send them to me, I got addicted to save them :)

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
Yup. A hot glue gun is pretty much useless. You can peel the glue right off.
Solder it in like this. If you want, you can reinforce with epoxy. Not a hot glue gun.

Has anyone ever made a linux cluster using a bunch of N900s?

Did you try to contact them? Sometimes, sellers change their mind and accept to send it if you organise the shippment for them that they just have to print the label for the parcel. :D

Maemish 2019-12-20 20:38

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
With this seller I would not accept anything else than seeing the product before paying in cash. You would not believe what kind of messages he has thrown at me since 5am in the morning and through the day. And several phone calls. If I say a drunk guy from Savo having a good time with someone he doesn't know before - well all finns will understand and be sorry for me. But the phone is a kind I have never seen before so I will bare everything untill it is sure case I either get it or not.

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
Many here has probably seen it and know it. Just new for me but before I'm sure either getting or not getting it no hints. Not wanna get competitors from here. But if I get it or not I will tel later. About 15 years old phone.

Just saw this on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-Motorola...0AAOSw849eH003
6! motorola droid 4 for ~100€.
You know, the second best supported device for Maemo Leste.
They look good enough on the photos, no scratches or broken screens.
If only half of them work it would be a good offer - all other offers I saw were from USA and that adds a lot of additional cost to Europeans.

Maemish 2020-01-28 13:21

Re: Hint links devices for sale online
 
I would not want to do this but I have to. I tried to buy this but it should be bought with cash in Kuopio. I asked a lot from people but could not find any friend from there.

So here is a link to online sale for Fujitsu Pocket Loox T830. As I understood it should have the box and cables with it. There are old linux images for this device.

If you contact the seller by sms or calling - good luck. You may be asked to come to drink and he may offer to bring cigarettes or booze from Russia. The sms and speaking with this guy are both a confusing experience. I'm not sure if using english is an option at all. And you may start to receive reports which bars he is going next and how there are russian ladies.

But the device is cool and cheap. 25€. He may drop the price and then lift it back to 25€. So 25€ is the best bet for price.

https://www.tori.fi:443/pohjois-savo...=18&w=3&last=1

So cash only in Kuopio is the deal with him. Have a nice trip!
