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?
Hey guys! Currently I'm on tmobile with the gs2. I've always had a nexus device until verizon stole it Lol. I loved always having up to date software, which is not the case with the gs2. I'm also sick of the sg2 xda forum.. Too much ******ry going on there.
Do you guys think it's worth getting? After selling the gs2 ill only be paying around 100 more. Amazon is selling for 500.
Before the nexus i have a gs2 i like the nexus better people's here saying that they have reboots problems with the phone but i never have a single problem with it i love it also coming from a 4s two

I think so dude. I moved here from the i9100. I haven't looked back. AOSP ICS is simply amazing! There are small hardware gripes I have with the nexus compared to the i9100, but I moved to the neuxs more for the ICS and updates. Plus I have the Verizon LTE version and the speeds are pretty sweet, minus the battery drain. Oh and that Amoled HD display is so damn sexy.
I'm going to be making the switch too. I wouldn't be losing any money making the switch, make a good enough profit buying and selling things here and there.
lol, it is impressive how every 2-3 days we have someone posting the exactly same thread here

Thanks for the response. I'm gonna miss the camera but I think I really want a gn.
wait until a better phone then the nexus. Going from galaxy s2 to the nexus is not really a big step up. I would wait for the galaxy s3 or if you need a phone really soon I would get the HTC one. The nexus isn't so much better then the galaxy s2 and some might even say the galaxy s2 is a better because of hardware.

unless you actually switch your phones alot....i'd say stay with the i9100 until galaxy SIII
I'm only switching cuz I feel like it and I got the nexus really cheap (in my eyes) and I can sell my i9100 for almost just as much since I have a white one and a good amount of accessories.
Plus I sell laptops and other phones and stuff making good profit like that.

I'm not going to buy another non nexus phone. If I remember correctly the nexus was launched in nov-dec. The next nexus will be released around the same time I assume. This will be the time my upgrade will be available so hopefully the new nexus phone will come to tmo and ill use it to get that.
If not I'll use it on the gs3 sell it and buy the International nexus
I'm ready to pull the trigger. Does anyone know where to get one cheaper than amazon?

Negri electronics, NTT DOCOMO version unlocked. Exactly the same except it was originally Docomo locked and has docomo branding on the backplate. $460 and you get warranty unlike amazon. Negri and Expansys assist. It's on backorder right now so I would just go with Amazon. I ordered mine sunday from Negri and it will arrive Monday according to Fedex because they ship from Nevada. There are some concerns with IMEI though because of the way they unlocked it but not a big deal for me on AT&T. I'm just going to save the original IMEI files etc...as backup

Wow, I'm somehow not surprised man. Everyone was itching for ICS since every day that one guy kept posting articles about CM9 and ICS. It was bound to explode once ICS was released.
I didn't want to be a part of that immaturity and left reluctantly. I say reluctantly because the phone itself was beastly, I had the white one and it was probably one of the best designs minus this phone I've owned so far.
Stop making threads about it and just do it.
I'm thinking about shooting myself but I took an arrow to the knee. Somebody should start a website "thinking about selling x so I can get x". Then whoever takes me up in the best idea eva can start a thread called I'm thinking about selling my website so I can buy Facebook.

i came from an htc sensation which is think is very similar to the gs2:
- both considered flagship phones (dual core, 4.3-4.5")
- both have microSD slot over the gnex
- both have better camera than gnex
the biggest thing for me was that most of the sensation roms were Sense based (even on XDA) and i wanted pure AOSP. im not sure how it is on the GS2 but i am assuming the same (ie most of the roms for the GS2 are probably touchwiz based). if you want pure AOSP, nothing beat the nexus

Naw...galaxy phones have huge dev community. We have a lot based on Samsung firmware but also a ton based on aosp. Cm9 was one of the first to go nightlies and be every day usable for a while now. A lot of aokp and aosp based roms also or a decent amount at least.

The nexus looks awesome and I'm sure it is, but at this point why not wait a week or so for the HTC one X?
Ok guys and gals, I know I have posted a question like this earlier just bare with me, because I am not really any good at decision making. So i can get the sprint Galaxy Nexus for 100$, is it worth it or should I wait or should I buy it because it's the latest Nexus? I see that Sense 4.0 and the Sony roms are not on the sprint Galaxy Nexus, are they planned to be? I really just want to know if you guys were eligible for an upgrade at this point in time would you buy this phone right now or get a different one? Thanks to begin with!!
got it even knowing the sgs3 and the evolte where right around the corner. Couldnt be happier. Bought it the first chance i could which was about two weeks after launch day.

Depends on your preferences.
The Galaxy Nexus is great if you:
1. want the Android that Google designed, free of modifications by phone manufacturers and carriers
2. want to be able to unlock the bootloader (and, subsequently, root) your phone fairly easily
On the other hand, the Galaxy Nexus has some drawbacks:
1. no removable storage
2. 5MP camera - not too good compared to some other phones
3. shorter battery life (because of the AMOLED screen)
4. and a few other minor issues
?

yeah but now all those things are out and im stumped and its kinda cheap for the phone. I wish people were into lg products, because the lg viper is 20 bucks and it beats the galaxy nexus in quadrant.
If you're looking for a deal, then I'd say yes. $100 isn't bad with an upgrade for a GNex. IF that isn't your main priority, even though it seems it is, then I may suggest checking out one of the aforementioned devices during the trial period (14d), more so the GSIII than than the EVO LTE.
I will say the new EVO is pretty sweet, have had some time with it as my buddy has it, and the battery has shown to be significantly better than the GNexus. The cameras do not compare, either. I'm not a big shooter, and even though I find myself taking some sweet pictures with the GNex ... it doesn't compare. Factors, though, of course, as it depends on usage and what you're looking for. Remains to be seen how the GSIII will compare, but I'm wanting to get my hands on it.
If it came down to the EVO LTE or the GNex, I still think I would go for the Nexus for multiple reasons; straight Google experience, SW keys, sexier device. Again, it remains to be seen how sweet that new Galaxy S is, but if you can hold out that long .... check it out for that week or two and determine what you feel to be the necessary decision.

thanks for the reply and I don't have the money for either of those atm as i am 14 but the only thing that is holding me back from going an buying right now is the camera isnt the greatest, but i dont take many pictures, no removable storage and a cheap 20$ LG viper beats it. The only reason im not getting the viper is there isnt much developer support and lg isnt very good on software updates.

Hi everyone. I have a G2. I've had it for quite sometime now and my contract is up with tmobile. I'm looking to upgrade. Its either the Amaze, Sensation, or One S. I know HTC has gotten out of the mass production of cell phones with the release of the One S. My questions are is this going to be like how apple releases only 1 iPhone or no? Also, which would you guys recommend. I don't care much for the One S's camera. But the development behind the amaze is virtually non existent. Sensation is something I've always wanted, but all 3 seem to be with sense. Which I hate. Help a guy out as I would like others opinions. Thank you in advance!

If you want to upgrade soon ,I would go with a galaxy nexus ($350 from play store, contract free). If you want to uprade in a few months I would wait for the next nexus phone. I prefer pure android over sense,touchwiz, motoblur.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
if i were to buy a samsung the above mentioned would be the only one currently. if i broke my g2 today... i would just buy another g2, even at the same price as any of these "better" phones
just my opinion
The One S is a beautiful device. Honestly, if you are looking at the "best" phones on T-Mobile it is between the Galaxy S III and One S.
yeah, im still debating. Plus people always say the iphone is coming, which i refuse to believe until i see it lol
I actually just got my G2. It was either this G2 or a galaxy nexus (fantastic phone, test drove it in the VZ store). I ended up going with the G2 to test how tmobile prepaid plan works before dropping a lot of a gnex. Now however I will wait for my dream phone. So I guess my vote is for the gnex. If you are not sure check out a VZ or ATT store, just be sure to put on bug spray (for all the sales people.. quite annoying..)
My contract is up in a month and I can't wait to get my hands on a sgs3!

If I were you I would get the galaxy s iii. The one s has had some problems like terrible battery life, lag and many other things. But I would not get the sensation or amaze because those are sort of old hardware. If you are going to have to wait for 2 years to get a new phone you should get the latest of the latest :silly:. So in my oppinion you have either the One S or the GSIII.
The problem with getting the galaxy nexus is that it is a year old and if THAT runs so well with jelly bean, could you imagine the GSIII??? It would be amazing!

My response to that would be- Why would I get a locked down iPhone when I could get an Android device? The quality gap between Android and Apple used to be drastic, but now I think Android has an edge. The One S and GSIII are better devices than the 4S, and will hold their own against the inevitable 4inch iPhone 5.
That said don't be shocked when the iPhone 5 reaches T-Mobile, Tim Cook isn't going to leave an entire carrier to Android like Jobs did.
My contract already expired, but I kept my DZ and Ill wait for the next nexus device. Its just a damn big advantage to have pure Android as its meant to be, fast updates and great dev support. Sure I was tempted to switch phone as the contract expired but I know that Ill be happy for my patience in November.

That's kind of where I'm at too. I want to wait. Its really my mom and bro who want/need new phones. My mom is dead set on an iphone so I told her to wait and my bro really doesn't care. They both still prefer blackberry which is retarded but whatevs. I guess ill just make them wait. Our contract was up this past month. I refuse to switch because verizon is too expensive, att is too clogged and annoying, and sprint is not gsm yet.

The phone is just awesome. If you're in for hardware, then the S3,but if you want a better software and hardware integration then the GNex, cuz it really is so much smoother now, the hardware doesn't even matter. And since it's a nexus, epic dev and updates all year round. If you do buy it, trust me, you're never gonna regret!

Came from HTC One X AT&T.
Trust me when I say this: The GNex GSM is exactly what google wants you to use with their services.
Everything else from Samsung, HTC, LG, etc is exactly what AT&T/Verizon/Sprint want you to use. As soon as you boot up and get a huge HTC or Samsung logo followed by a AT&T or Verizon logo, you know you've made the wrong decision.
Boot..
1) HTC logo with their stupid sound
2) AT&T logo with their stupid sound
3) WELCOME TO AT&T PLEASE USE THIS STUPID SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR! ... or skip
4) WELCOME TO HTC PLEASE USE THIS STUPID SERVICE THAT GOOGLE ALREADY DOES BETTER! ... or skip
5) HERE ARE SOME MORE APPS THAT YOU DIDN'T INSTALL NOR CAN UNINSTALL!
You get the picture.
Stick with the unbranded: iPhone or Gnex
GNex is awesome phone, and you can't go wrong considering the price $350 and the software support. If the hardware matters more then go with the GSIII.

The hardware itself is 9 months old, but considering the device is $300 - $350, and you will run JB out the box. Hells yea it's worth it. Oh and yes, the community here is awesome, lots of friendly people and devs love working on a device as open as this.
Oh and last thing, I don't know about anyone else here but once Iv'e gone to a button-less device as the GNex, I can't see myself buying a phone with capacitive buttons now.
Came from nexus s , worth it ! .
The GNex is where it's at. Not only is it a pure Google phone, but you'll be first in line for all the latest and best custom ROMs and hacks. This phone is a developer's dream!

I'll give you another side of the argument...
If money is a concern, I say wait. Buy yourself a cheap android phone and get a $30/month tmobile plan to hold off until the next Nexus comes out. I don't know if you care about it, but it's probably going to be announced in a month or two at most three. It's highly likely it will be better than the galaxy nexus in most aspects.
I believe by waiting, in the long run you will save more money and will be able to afford the new nexus easier. Once it gets announced, I don't know if you will be able to resell the galaxy nexus for close to what you paid for it. So you might end up losing more money than necessary. But if cash is no concern, then yea buy a galaxy nexus now. Personally, I don't have tons of cash to throw around so I'm using the strategy I just explained.
I have SGS2 T989 currently and been thinking to switch to GNex because I don't care about TouchWiz and I really like the so-called pure Google experience . I want to check out JB OS but I'm having a hard time finding stores with GNex loaded with JB OS (Verizon has it, but it's still ICS I think). Anyone know which stores would have the demo unit with JB OS?
Not worth 350 with possibility of new nexus device. Don't see it arriving in next month or two. More like January.
Unfortunately the hardware won't be far ahead of what's already out. All nexus devices since ONE have been small steps ahead with major sacrifices in hardware. ( bad touch screen , lousy cameras , weak gpu) no manufacture has given AAA hardware effort for a nexus phone.
An s3 will be a smart choice with the built in community likely getting OS updates out much quicker than other phones.
