I have a Motorola Photon 4g. Excellent Condition! Screen is PERFECT and has been in a case from day 1! Who wants to trade? I'm already looking on craigslist to find someone local but am getting impatient. In North Indiana.
I have the orig box, charger and like I said, comes with the grey and fake leather case that I bought from Sprint. I bought it straight from a corp. store.

NOTE: I'm only interested in trading the Photon and some Cash for an Epic Touch at this point.
wishful trading but most people are completely in love with their epic touch 4g, and you may have better luck putting this in the market section
Thanks! I did so we'll see.

Well if anyone wants the trade, someone better make the first offer. I have someone emailing me from the post I have up on craigslist just interested in trading the Photon for their Epic Touch, they don't want the touchpad.
Anyone want to trade?

How is the signal on the photon? I'm wondering because my wife and I use these phones for our work and in low coverage areas, so it might be smart for us to have 2 different phones just for diagnostic sake.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've never dropped a call. People all say on the forums that the photon has one of the best radios they've ever used. I'm just bored with the phone, that's why I want the epic touch. I have zero complaints about this phone as far as call quality, and reception is concerned. I just want something thinner.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Well, according to the photon forums, it appears to be mod friendly as well which is primarily what I care about, and the touchpad would actually be highly useful for my business, so I'd do the trade.
My S2 has what amounts to some light rubbing on that bottom piece of shiny plastic... You have to look at it in the light at an angle to even see it. It had the anti glare screen protector put on in store upon removal from the box, and both it and the screen are flawless.
I can get some pics if you're interested.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I tried to include some pics of the photons light rubbing as well. Due to it being in the case since purchase, it has gotten a few scuffs on the sides. I'm assuming like yours, something you need to look for to see. You don't happen to live around Fort Wayne, IN do you? Also, the TP is a 32gb with the touchstone dock and i have an old iPad 1 case that it fits in and has 2 stands built into the case that work really nice. Tho after thinking about it last night, it's not exactly a fair trade so I was thinking either I'd trade my Photon and some cash for the Epic Touch or both my Photon and TouchPad for the Epic Touch and some cash. What do you think?

Doh, oh well. I don't get paid again for a week and trading the S2 for just the photon (cash doesn't sweeten it much, still left without the S2 in the end) doesn't work, was much more the touchpad I'd be interested in.
I can understand where you're coming from though, so good luck!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well I'm still open to the idea. If you really want to trade, I don't care when you get paid... we work out a deal and swap phones ASAP... we can just work the TP deal when you get paid. It's up to you. I just think if I trade the TP and my phone for an ET, I'm getting screwed.
How much are you thinking in addition for the Touchpad?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
IDK... $100. I think that'd be fair. The 16gb Touchpad is $99... the 32, $150. After tax, shipping, the case, and touchstone charger, I spent around $225. What do you think?

It destroys the EVO.
<<<<former EVO owner.
Absolutely a good buy.
Its a great phone very responsive and for me does everything i could ever want/ need in a phone. That being said if you have the extra cash go for it because its the best phone sprint has out right now, but if the price you'll be paying for it off- contract is steep for you I suggest holding off on it because newer phones are coming very soon
Definitely worth it as mentioned before. The xda marketplace has better deals for the e4gt but they don't pop up too often. Expect to pay a good amount of money but it is a great device.

I have no complaints about both but I have heard others complain about them. The speaker could be better but I like it. I never owned the evo but compared to the evo 3d (which I still regularly use), the E4GT has both a better earpiece and speaker.
Here's a no nonsense review of the E4GT from flossy carter. Enjoy the show haha
E4GT Review FlossyCarter
My friends wife just got the White E4GT like 2 days ago. From her own words it's been one of the first phones shes been able to setup herself. Shes not very tech savvy (reason she has her husband or me to help at times) but so far she LOVES the phone. I'll be rooting his this week but going to leave his wife's phone alone for the time being. She really has no need for root and honestly wouldn't know what to do with it anyways . But they got the E4GT after they had a chance to use/play with mine for awhile and they love them.
Coming from HTC hero , id say worth the buy! Wanted the galaxy nexus but was like eff it and took the chance been by accessories i'm on it every minute
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I'm four days into my SGS2, upgraded from the SGS1. I am pissed I waited so long! The S2 is a far superior product. It's faster, cleaner, thinner and just feels right when held in your hand. The screen is clearer, ntm bigger. It supports call recording (#1 biggest reason I bought the phone) and has a nicer camera. Longer battery life, thinner than the S1.
I spent $395 on an eBay auction for one new in the box, never touched. Lotta money, but well spent, imho. And I can sell my S1 + accessories for $200.
Better on everything the epic the evo is a good phone but once you get an epic you will see but on another note with the speed phones are being manufactured and with a year left I would save your money the epic will be mothballs by then and you could have an even better phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I'd say buy one on eBay and sell your old one to help cover the cost; I've been on Sprint for less than 2 years and the E4GT will be my fifth phone (Samsung Moment, Samsung Transform, Samsung Epic 4g, EVO 3D, E4GT) - whenever I see something I want, I find it on eBay.
I won't even qualify for my first paid upgrade until April 1, but I plan to save that for the phone that I see and decide I can't live without the instant it comes out.
YMMV, but I paid ~$340 for a mint/used E4GT with original box & accessories; the better shape they're in, the more they go for but mid-$300's seems pretty average.
Good luck!
Totally worth it! Best phone hands down on sprint. You will love it.
I just bought one for a friend off craigslist, like new, mint, for $200. Just make sure is you go used, call sprint and ask if the esn is clear, AND if the phone is attached to any account.
There is also a couple g threads going around.. Get a airwave for free, and another to use it to get a upgrade price phone. Might want to look into that.

Without a doubt, best phone. Stay on top of rooted ROMs and it's the best. But even on Stock ROM this thing is tops.
Camera rocks. Speed is amazing. Could do better with GPS, but it works. Ear piece speaker is very loud. Very few issues.
The build quality is far superior to the Evo line. People complain about the plastic but it's super light and thin. No dust or light leakage problems.

I have to agree about that Dictator movie. That looked funny. I was messing with my Nexus during some commercials and missed the Sammy one. Thanks! Edit...interesting..

Obviously I can't write on the screen but between that and my Bluetooth, my phone stays immaculate

I do not think people are going to realize how big the Note really is from that commercial and anyone who thinks it is the same size as your larger phone will be in for a big surprise.
I wear my phone on a belt clip and for some reason I do not see that happening with the Galaxy note. I would like to know for the people who plan on getting the Note how they plan on carrying it.

john they are much different. this is like a pro level stylus that uses magnetic input. almost like on the touch pro type of screen accurate only now it is also a cap screen instead of resistive.
Reminds me a bit of the Motorola Xoom commercial last year. Although this one rags on Apple fans more blatantly.
Like others, I think the Galaxy Note is just too big. Even the E4GT is pushing it for me, although it's thinness and light weight help a bit. Plus I would not carry the stylus with me, which defeats one of the purposes of buying the Note. It looks like a cool phone but just isn't for me.

The stylus slips into the back of the phone....can't even really tell its there....of it wasn't for the GS3 coming out I would get it....got to play with one a few days ago.....it would definatly fit in the average back pocket.....feels thinner than my E4GT
sent from the near past
I cant believe i am saying this but I am honestly considering the Note...yeah its BIG but thin, and yes its not for everybody...hopefully itll ship with ICS by the time it gets to Sprint, and will be rooted within the first 24 hours LoL
Haha, thanks OP....Somehow I missed the commercial last night, so this was the first time I had a chance to see it (see it, that is, on a FULLY working version of CM9 on my freaking Nook Color ereader....goddang, I love Android)....
Anyway, I don't know what I was expecting from it, but I wasn't really expecting it to be about the Note, and I DEFINITELY wasn't expecting Samsung to bring back that most epic song by The Darkness: I give it an all thumbs up rating.

I'm coming from an LG revolution on Verizon, ill admit it's plagued with issues. The main reason I liked it was locking in my unlimited 4g data, and it handles wifi tether somewhat well. Anyway
Seeing prices on an off contract Verizon GN ($200-300) makes me consider buying one outright to replace. Doesn't help my revolution has a crack in the glass (not screen). Are there any considerations I should make beyond what I find reading out of reviews and going by user experiences? I'm so far happy with all that I'm seeing, and the caveats aren't big for me, such as omitting Google wallet and it having a pentile display. Ill bet it's miles ahead of my revolution (plain LCD 800x480). I have the extended battery for my revolution and will most likely soon after buying a GN go for the same, but I want to also hear from the xda community. Thanks all in advance.

The phone is great. A few days with it and you'll wonder how you ever lived with a smaller screen.
The stock experience isn't bad, but unlocking the boot loader and rooting couldn't be easier so you'll be up and running with new Roms all the time.
I'm quite enjoying mine, but it is slick and has a tendency to want to slide out of your hand. Get a case and an extended battery.
It does get warm near the top when browsing the net but its a big deal. Anyway off to work I go, get the damn phone you'll have no regrets.

Thanks all for the support! Forgot just how free and open nexus devices are. Is there a particular extended battery and case go for? I noticed an off brand 3800mah with cover (same company also makes suitable cases) for $20, didn't look like a half bad company at least. I know batteries can be hit or miss. Also, does the (insert power control widget w/wifi tether button) trick still work for that? Atm I use wifi tether and by sheer luck it works in AP mode, vs adhoc, which I much prefer. Also any particular big pros to rooting besides jellybean? I only really rooted my revolution to remove bloat, extend battery and use wifi tether. Afaik with the nexus, there's no particular bloat being vanilla android, battery is more solid than my phone, and if that tether trick works then no root needed for that with what I'm reading.

DON'T BUY SKETCHY BATTERIES!!!
Buy only genuine Samsung extended battery or from a somewhat legit company, like Mugen power.
Sketchy batteries present a high risk of breaking your phone.

We do have a subsidized phone available through T-Mo, so I'm inclined to use that.
GS3 seems like the obvious choice, but I'm loathe to hand her electronics destroying hands a new phone (this is her 3rd phone in just over 2 years. The others were similarly destroyed).
I'd be very tempted to hand her the GN and keep the GS3
How annoyed am I going to be with the GS3?
Other ideas?
And why couldn't she have waited a month until the Galaxy Note 2 came out?
Why not get her an older phone like the defy lol

Honestly the Lifeproof case is a good idea too.
Same thing happened to me. My wife broke 3 phones and a laptop in just over a year. She now has an old flip phone and only uses the desktop computer. Electronics are way too expensive to be careless with.

It's a fairly new desktop. She actually prefers to use it. It gets expensive replacing electronics every other month. I wish I could somehow force her to use only Internet Explorer. That would be the ultimate punishment.

Perhaps you could look around and checks phones that will have a nice resale value right now. Not sure what choices you have with tmobile. A gs3 could be had for $200 upgrade price, flipped for $500+ and then buy a nice little mid range expendable phone that will get the job done. Or maybe buy two. This method has it's goods and bads, but if a smartphone is really needed for phone amd text, and the extras for distraction/minimal tasks and getting on the web for fun, reading or tips on breasts hurt while breastfeeding then this might be a good path. Otherwise, get a nice little unlocked nokia or moto for cheap until toddler destruction improves.

Or a defy as suggested. My friend accidently dropped his off the top of a 2 story building while taking a picture. He walked down, picked it up, entered a caption and posted it (he was using instagram). There's just a little nick in one of the corners now.
Also it's waterproof, so that helps with the drink issues.

This generalization is pretty disrespectful, despite the fact you tried to add that you understand there are women who do, this still was a harsh post. We do have female users.

The key word I see here is toddler, give the toddler that busted sensation. That way he/she has their own phone to dunk in coffee. The other thing is to teach your wife the proper way to deal with water damage, ie battery pull and rice.
And teach her not to put her phone in front of a baby. And tell her she won't like it the next time it happens.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
why does she need a phone in the kitchen in the first place?
