Selling my evo:D

I put my EVO up on eBay moving onto the 3D one not a bad price for how new it is and mint also the stuff that comes with it only 3 months old.
How many of you moving onto the 3D ?

you might want to start the bid a something low and let it grow, it will be hard to sell when you start high. Just a fellow ebay power seller tip.
And i wish i could afford the 3d but i have to wait! lol

Sucker is clean sweet and wouldn't be selling just won't need it anymore and not gonna sell it for cheap since the phone by its self is 200 plus all the **** that comes with it is brand new would be shooting my self in the foot for selling it for anything less.

From what I have read camera been swapped out to fix issues people had in 0002 and 3 lcd been swapped out and the buttons feel better firmer . Camera is nice . Buttons feel better any quirks from the 0003 are fixed in the 0004 builds.

Ahh ok thanks, I never knew the differences
I'm waiting on my Sprint rep to call me and see what deal she can offer me on the 3D lol.

That's a good deal. Best eBay price when I bought mine (March '11) was $285...and that was for a refurb with ONLY phone/SD/battery shipped in an envelope!!

try craigslist, and make sure you bring friends during transaction. I heard horror stories!!

Worth the wait?

So my phones been broken since August, and I have no backups. In other words, I haven't had a phone since mid-August. Anyway, I just got some money for my birthday and job. Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for tmo in late November? If not, suggest getting any other phone?
EDIT:hmm alright. I need a phone.. Im trying not to spend the most amount of money because im going to buy the Nexus during christmas time, but can anyone steer me in the right direction in buying a used phone off craigslist? Preferably a decent one? Price Range $100-$275. I have T-mobile but any phone thats compatible whether its unlocked or not I'll be willing to get. I'm in jersey BTW, in case any of you want to give it a look.

if you read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316800
you'll know you're in for a very long wait
but it might be worth it, depending how fan are you of stock AOS

If you have enough money to buy one unlocked for the full price, then you should hopefully have it by this month end.
If you are looking for tmo subsidized, then there is a possibility that you might have wait longer.

yea, I read through a bunch of pages in that thread. If I have to wait a week or two, I'll be fine with that... And I'm just going to root it assuming it will be possible as other Nexus phones were easily rooted..
Just not so sure if its hitting tmobile.. I dont come on here as much as I used to, but if you find ANY news having to do with tmo and the galaxy nexus or the release date, mind Pming me? thanks

yea, I think ill just be buying it full price unfortunately.

Only you can decide for yourself which phone is best and what is "worth" the wait for you.
Just do the research and decide what's good for you.

I will personally wait till prices drop at Christmas. My captivate is going super strong after installing miui. I got money, lots of it... So gonna buy unlocked! No seriously, it's because I am going out of the country mid next year for a while... Some legal issues...

Aria is old and doesn't have AWS for 3G on T-mo. G2 is good. You could always get a MyTouch 4G (not slide) or an original Galaxy S very cheaply.
Whats it matter if you're only going to use it for 1-2 months then get rid of it anyways? Get something that works and is cheap.

I'm not sure about your area, but I could find Nexus S for around $200

Hmmmm..Is the nexus S worth it?

I can relate to you. I lost my phone (Nexus One) 2 months ago. Since then I have been using my 5 year old Samsung. It works great as a phone for calls and text msgs. That's it!!! I feel so disconnected from the world without my neXus 1. Considering GS was going to come out soon, I did not want to waste any money on an temp android phone.
If I were in your place without a phone I would get the cheapest one possible.

I've seen G2X's on ebay around 200 give or take, of course not in perfect condition. If you like tegra you should consider that phone over older ones.

This is already being discussed in the other threads. That page shows the MARKETING push for after Black Friday, which is including the Galaxy Nexus.
That does not at all indicate when the phone will be sold. As you notice, the map shows the iPhone being marketed too, that doesn't mean the iPhone isn't on sale till then

Issues with this phone?

I want to buy a new phone. I have had my evo 4g since it came out. My friend has a s2 and I love it but what are the common issues with the sprint variant and are they worth looking over? I am currently running cm7 so not having sense won't be an issue

I came from an EVO as well and absolutely love the sgII E4GT (maybe not the 8 character abbreviation) but the phone rocks. It is just like every other brand of phone out there. The majority play nice and then you have the ones that want to be stroked and then you have the bad boys. And last but not least the occasional bone head behind the keyboard.
But my over all experience has been great. Your mileage may vary.......

Thanks so lemme ask you this, is it worth purchasing without a contract? I've seen a couple on Craig's list go for $300

300 doesn't sound bad.........not tell you to go out and do it. But for that price I would.

I hear a fix for most bugs is coming next month. At $300 i would do it. Thats how much sprint will take u for if u buy it new on contract.

Buyers beware

I have always owned and loved android devices since the g1. I always got carrier branded devices and switch every so often. I thought it would make sense to grab a gsm nexus so I started researching, and boy did I research. I thought that the price of a gnex from google is not bad and i had enought money to get one, but for whatever reason i figured i'd check ebay, but they sell for the same or more used. so I checked craigslist- on payday i saw what looked like a great deal... new gnex with extra battery 300, so i contacted the dude and met up about 40 minutes drive. the phone was in new condition there was the extra battery and vanilla ics, tried it made a call so i took it. while driving away i started playing with it.. i went to the camera app, got a message stating to insert sd card, i was like wth a gnex with an sd card. then i got a call the there was a flashing led at the bottom. i got home and examined it well, turns out its a fake ( my fingernail can operate the capacitve sereen) it looks so damn real... now im screwed out of 300 bux. I was so upset i went to google and got a new one, so I should have it soon... learnt my lesson well.- i really didnt think that fake phones existed and damn they did a great job... i think ill just give it to my son- he will by happy to have it

Pics or it didn't happen LOL. Can we see it? Wanna see how good of a "job" they did.

nevr thought to play around with one, i was just going off youtube, but seriously its a DAMN good job will add SLR pics tomorro

You didn't notice the feel of a resistive screen? It is distinctly different from a
Capacitive screen. Also always check the about phone, storage, EVERYTHING. I hope you learned your lesson, sucks for you :3

I would love to see this too. I mean, it sucks, but it's also a fantastic lesson to everyone out there. Don't buy things used carelessly. Ever.

I want to see this as well, I tend to avoid Craig's list nowadays. After I nearly got into a fist fight with a man after deciding not to purchase his phone which he would not let me hold nor turn on...

Yeah that's a fake. The site even looks like amazon, with the way it's laid out and even some of the graphics.

This is why I like buying things eBay over CraigsList. eBay has gone to great lengths to protect buyers. With that being said it is such a pain any more to sell things on eBay (major hassle listing/shipping items, excessive fees, picky buyers) which is why I usually won't sell things on eBay any more.
In your case though you got a fake phone, which may have been hard to tell when you bought it but hypothetically if it were a Verizon phone for example it could have been completely real but may have been stolen and had a bad ESN. Even then though I believe you can check with the carrier to see if the ESN is clean. I guess what it boils down to is you just have to be very cautious whenever buying something from an 'un-trusted' source.
On a side note, I just received my Verizon Nexus that I bought on eBay for $240. This thing was listed at 'Used' but it is seriously in like new condition, not a scratch or scuff on it (and it came with a nice case). I am absolutely loving the phone so far. Only thing I don't like is that I didn't upgrade to it sooner.

I'm staying away from eBay and craigslist from now on, just for certain things I guess- i got a sweet shih tzu puppy for 300 bux on CL so I guess in the end it all evens out. I'll just get a simple mobile sim and give it to my kid, so its not a total loss, he will be happy with it. I'm just amazed of what a good job they did with it. and the fingernail test is how I narrowed it down - compared it to my girl's SG2. Im getting withdrawals waiting for the real phone to ship from google.

Hey guys,
My wife currently has the first generation note (i717). It's been having all kinds of problems and we are thinking of getting her a new phone. She wants to get the Note 2. I've heard really good things about it, but I don't want to buy this if the note 3 is going to be coming out soon, you know?
What do you guys think? Also, we are going to be buying it full price and it's still $800, which kinda sucks. Is there a cheaper place to buy it from?

I had the note 1 before and recently switched to the Note 2 (rogers/at&t version). I'm loving it. Everything is so much snappier with pretty much 0 lag. I got my Note 2 for $370 used and thought it was a steal so did it. A slight ding on two corners but with the UAG case i ordered, shouldn't be noticeable. Oh and the stylus is much more comfortable in the hand with the Note 2. The reduction in width also makes it much nicer to hold and use with one hand.
With the note 3 coming in a few months the price for Note 2 is going to keep going down. I can't imagine really needing anything more powerful than the Note 2 for the next 2 years.
