LOL...."Hardly used" still equals second hand.

Why not just walk into any CNA or Edgars and buy it brand new for R1999?
 
Not forcing anyone to buy mines. I just said that im thinking about selling it and guys started PMing me. Haven't even put it up for sale on carbonite or anything. If someone wants it and cant find stock in any of the stores let me know, you can have mine. But like kingronb said, you better off just going into a store and buying one.

Because you're looking at getting a device without that whole buy a SIM you don't need but have to RICA anyway (I saw mention that they're on Vodascum, from which I infer that you *have* to get the damn thing) grind. And are saving yourself the angst of dealing with [-]the idiot swine[/-] your fellow citizens (I can't stand it but YMMV) and malls, etcetera. And not getting gypped either.

So where's the downside here?

2nd hand is 2nd hand
I wouldn't pay the same price I can get it in store, but someone else might like you

Tortured prose aside :rolleyes: I don't conflate 2nd hand with automatically meaning a loss of value; in fact, my post makes a case for added value here. But, as you say, it depends on your value system.

theres no guarantee how the phone was handled
im not saying it was abused, it might be in perfect condition
but thats the risk you take when buying 2nd hand, as with any risk there should be some reward
in this deal there is none for me

the 5 min it takes to rica and swiping my card for payment is not an issue for me
 
Anyone manage to install the B105 update yet? Phone shows that there is an update available, but it fails every time after downloading... Currently on B104 bought from CNA in Heidelberg about 2 weeks ago.

Also couldn't manage to update. I installed cm 10. Works well except for the deep sleep. Miui is awesome but need to test it properly still. There isn't a dedicated section on xda yet for this phone so information on custom Roms is quite dependent on translating the Chinese and Russian sites.
 
Huawei launched there own rom as well. Called emotion ui. It's similar looks very similar to the miui Ron but its official from huawei. It's also jelly bean. But not yet available in English. They have launched it in Chinese though and some Russians have translated to Russian and abit of English. They should officially Launch the English version in 2013 hopefully.

Do you have a link to the CM10 download page?
 
Yes B105 was released last week. The update worked fine for me. Although after the update my FB notifications stopped making any sound so I just installed Friendcaster instead.
