I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.
Thanks guys/gals

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.
How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price
another vote for craigslist.org
swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Sweet...appreciate the advice. Just listed on swappa.com. Went and tested the thunderbolt today for about 20 mins. Damn that thing is quick and smooth as butter. I love my evo and I have it running top notch, but there really wasn't a comparison.

Uhhhh....what?
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.
I hate the waiting game.

Starting today, Costco has the DINC2 for 29.99 for upgrades. Bay area, California. Tempting, but with how 'locked' down this phone is from what I can gather, maybe not worth it...

If you are at your upgrade time, Target has the Inc 2 for free. I just upgraded 2 days ago.
Funny the OG Inc would have cost me $50. Maybe cause it has Netflix support
I can't post links yet, but if you go to Target . c o m and go to their cell phones you will see it after they do a check with Verizon.

i can't post the link cause im a newb to the forum, but just search google or slickdeals for the costco july coupon book, it says 70 bucks off, although i dont know how this correlates to the phone. i think when you go into the store, its just the 29.99, its like the coupon is already applied. i would suggest calling ahead to make sure they have some. costco is nice because they give you a free car charger and case with purchase. never knew to look at target, seems like a good deal too, looks like they give a 50 dollar gift card?

Did go to the site, upgrades to an existing non-primary line was $80.
Costco, however, has the $30 upgrade across the board...
Anyone upgrade using costco online and keep their unlimited data? I want to jump all over the DInc2 but I'm worried about losing unlimited data.
So the other day I looked on My Verizon too see how much sooner until I could upgrade...and to my surprise I am eligible! Woo! My Inc has done well, but sadly, it fell on a carpet from a total height of 4 inches and cracked pretty badly. Still functional though. I cannot decide though. I would like the durability of a Droid Razr, the Rezound is nice but I don't want another plasticy phone. The Nexus is good too...but again, its all plastic. Why can no one but Moto make decent built phones???
Any thoughts, ideas?
I went from an AMOLED DROID Incredible to an LG Spectrum. It's an excellent phone. I know you said you don't want a plasticky phone, but you could always put a case on it. That's what I've done and it works wonderfully.
I compared the Rezound, Galaxy Nexus, and the RAZR. I greatly preferred the Spectrum. Its shape and size are perfect for me, as is its true HD RGB stripe screen. But I didn't want to burn my upgrade, so I got it off ebay.
Glad I did.

I got a Galaxy Nexus about a month ago, and it's been pretty great. The activation process was a little weird, but I think that's because there's no 4g in Vermont yet. The store tech said it's happened with a few different phones.
I love the screen, pure ICS is pretty great, the phone is so much faster than my Inc, and I don't really have any complaints about signal, battery or the screen. I also like the fact that if I decide to change it off of the stock rom, it's easier than the Inc. Unlocking and rooting it was painless.
That said, there are some promising phones that have been announced, but until they're in the stores, it's not a sure thing. Same thing with software updates - until it's officially pushed and received, it may as well not exist. If you want a new phone with ICS, get the Nexus. If you don't want the Nexus, but want ICS, I'd just keep waiting.
I'm not sure how long you can wait, but if you liked you original Incredible, the Incredible 4G will be out in just a little bit over 2 weeks. You can google to find out more about it, or heres a link to a post on a different forum where I gave some of the details... post 18 in this forum
I wouldn't mess with any LG android phones, personally.
And the Galaxy Nexus doesn't really have much going for it other than the huge screen (not really an exclusive feature) and stock ICS (also not exclusive if you root, which most of us here on XDA do).
As for plasticy feel... There aren't a lot of options out there that aren't made of plastic... and for me, design is always the lowest priority anyway. I think the Kevlar backing on the Razr is mostly a gimmick anyway. It's not as if the phone is made out of the stuff. It's just a covering on the back to, I guess, protect the back from scratches. It does nothing to protect the screen or the camera lens, which are pretty much the only parts of an Android phone that ever break. Plastic is pretty durable on it's own... that's why phones are made out of it (except the iPhone, which is made of glass, and that's why the thing shatters when it drops from greater than a foot... lol). If it's the feel you don't like, then just put a case/cover on it.
EDIT: I think the fact that your dinc screen cracked from a drop of 4 inches (on carpet) is mostly a fluke. I beat the hell out of my inc, and I've dropped it from about chest height in parking lots before and all it gets is scuffs around the sides and back. The screen has never cracked. Not to mention (although I already did mention it), the kevlar backing on the Razr that you like so much isn't going to protect your screen anyway.
I know it was just a fluke. See the other thing is I might just have to go with the Rezound...I'm in college...50 bucks on Amazon is a steal....

It's also $50 buck on Verizon. They dropped the price a week or so ago. They said "limited time" but I doubt that it will ever go back up.
I'm hoping (and optimistic) that the Incredible 4G will be released at the $199 mark (like the Evo 4G LTE). Not that I'm saying the Rezound is a bad phone, but over the life of a 2 year contract, that extra $150 isn't that much, especially considering what you're already paying in monthly payments.

It might be 20 months for the primary line, but for everyone else on the plan, it's 2 years.
The thing that's stupid is, the early termination fee if you cancel with just 1 month left on your contract is $120 ($350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete). That monthly $10 adjustment should be $14.58 (350/24).

Hot off the presses... New information on the new Incredible 4G...
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ils-of-the-verizon-htc-incredible-4g-surface/
Specs:
4-Inch display [unconfirmed - the tipster couldn't reliably measure the device, so this is an estimate]
qHD resolution
1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor (we suspect it's an S4, but haven't confirmed at this time)
1GB RAM
8GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
8MP rear shooter with zero shutter lag, VGA front camera
NFC
MHL
Beats support (no headphones included)
LTE
Android 4.0 with Sense 4
It doesn't say whether or not it's a removable battery, but it does say "an interchangeable back" so I'm assuming the battery is accessible. The lack of the sexy white back we saw in the leaks is a bummer, but maybe you can buy that separate.
Also note, 3 capacitive buttons, not 4 like the early images
Last comment... Why the hell did they swap the positions of the power button and headphone slot?

I was afraid that this would happen to my phone so I bought a Ballistics case for it (since Otterbox decided NOT to make a grossly over-priced case for the T989). Anyway, I'm sorry this happened to you
I would scour ebay for parts or see if someone is selling a defunct t989 you could buy and scavenge the parts. You shouldn't have to pay more than $200 including shipping.

Not really because you get warranty for life you can have as many exchange as you want even when you brick your phone plus it works for any phone that is or was used to your sim card so I think paying my end 5 bucks is well worth it.
And by the way you are right, if i ever crack my screen I prefer to get a new one. people the repair cell phone screens never leave as it used to be. you can tell a lot that the screen been replaced

Hahaha the only phone I got from a warranty exchange that was new from tmobile was when my sensation got a power button defect and tmobile gave me the amaze brand new in box as a warranty exchange. then a few days later i guess they figure about the glitch because the amaze was not long since it came out and took it off from their system as a alternative phone lol.
but guess what I'm kinda tik off from tmobile is that I called to change a plan for my sons phone and the rep could hear an echo so we ketp talking and she said that if I wanted a warranty exchange, my answer was there is no point on getting the same phone that my have the screen bleed or else cause of samsung defect and she had the guts to gave me these alternative phone that I was like omg I better stick to what i have.
1. HTC AMAZE 4G I already had it sold it for the sensation
2. Sidekick 4g
3. Nokia Lumia.
4. Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
5. HTC HD2
Phones that are not even compatible to the S2
Warranty exchange and insurance claim is different. You can exchange as many times as you like but you can only claim insurance twice in 365 days.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
The other difference with an insurance claim is you have to pay a deductable of about 130 per claim when you have the TMOBILE US insurance. I had the insurance on my last phone the HD2 and never used it. Have it on the SG2 as well. Have no idea what you get when you have to file a claim, lesser phone if the phone is discontinued or refurbished?
I had coverage on other phones with SquareTrade and their servce was great. Bought a used phone off eBay, put on the coverage. If something happens, they basically refund the cost for up to two years. Not considering the insurance is dirt cheap compared to the TMobile monthly cost.

Ouch! Well, if this will make it feel better, I've had worse:
Phone + Pavement + Bus # 85 = I'll leave the state of the phone to your imagination. I will, however, say that the SIM card inside was also dead.
And if that didn't make you feel better, I hope it at least made you laugh (I can tell you I wasn't laughing when I saw the result of this combo). That was expen$ive.
Ok, here's the deal: the glass on your phone is just that: glass. What makes it strong is that it's laminated: several layers of glass at tension against each other. You compromise one layer, the entire piece of glass is garbage, it cracks in a spiderweb pattern like what you see. So your glass is a goner.
What about the digitizer under it? Test it very carefully: touch everywhere on your screen and test if the phone will detect it. If not, your digitizer is gone too, you do need that $180 screen assembly. What about the LCD? Any dead pixels / lines / areas?
HOWEVER
If the LCD and the digitizer still work, there is some hope yet: your glass is broken, but your phone still works! What you need to do now is find a way to glue it together again. It will never be like new. It will never be strong again, and your phone will probably die a nasty screen death within a year or so, but that's a year you don't have to buy another phone. I think Walmart has some service to repair broken glass (at least here it does). If the digitizer works, that is. IF it works. And IF your LCD is not damaged. And IF that service is what it claims to be.
Don't expect miracles, your best case scenario is a phone with visual artifacts from the broken glass.
Damn ...
Heard they were now selling our phone for $299 brand new. Not sure how much truth there is to that since I'm in Canada but worth looking into.
