Trading a Tmobile Galaxy S2 for At&t Galaxy S2 +50

Hi guys, I have a couple of offers that I can't deciding. First off my phone is literally brand new. Just take it out to root it and flash the cwr. I put my ad up to trade the Galaxy s2. And I've two offer one is the AT&T galaxy s2 +50 and sensation +150. I don't use tmobile data only wifi, can someone tell me should I do this? I thought it a good trade but kinda hesitant. Which one is the better trade?

what are you trying to do?
what do you want to get next?

Hi thanks for replying, I'm thinking about getting the iphone 4 unlock and keeping the extra cash. For some reason my GS2 is not as smooth as I would like. But I really like my gs2. I think once we have a very good custom ROM I think the phone would run better. But I afraid by then the value would decrease. I also receive another offer for and iphone 4 and 50 dollars. I think that's a bad deal. Considering I already spend 50 dollars for the case and screen protector.

eerrrrhhhhh.... then you should just accept the deal for the iphone 4 if that's what you wanted
and don't waste time trading it with other phones, which are even harder to get rid off

I wanted to trade mines for an att gs2, but being stuck on edge is a no go. Anywho, an iPhone will suit you well.

just my opinion id rather go back to my vibrant before the iphone 4...

LOL thanks for replying everybody. I still don't know what I'm gonna do. But the GS2 is one of the most stable phone I have use. The reason I want to trade for an Iphone because I have at least 400 apps I previously download or bought. and I like to use offline GPS.

Google maps app has offline mode i believe now. Though i do understand the 400 iphone apps you want to take advantage of.

Your GS2 will work on at&t. Put your 400 apps on iPod.

no, only our version is true world phone, the other ones are partials

If you had all this money tied up in iphone apps and stuff why did you get a GS2 in the first place.not flaming just a question

just trade it in for an iphone 4. i think thats a good deal if the iphone is in mint or near mint condition.
also - there are plenty of offline gps apps for android. im using Navigon now, and have used co-pilot in the past.

Because I'm with tmobile and I have a good deal on this phone... lol.. I was hoping iphone would come to tmobile.. I'm not a fan of iphone.. but love the quality Apps on ios..

Get a iPhone4S at least, the iPhone4 is a step down from our device for sure. The 4S is pretty beastly and worth the extra $$ IMO

Offered a 4 day old Nexus for £300

As the thread states my friend just got a Nexus on contract and is using it to pay off his O2 contract as he already has a sim free iPhone 4S.
I can sell my GS2 for around £200-230 so just need to pay the difference to get it up to £300
Played around with it a tiny bit and it looks ok but not really sold on it however I do love the pure google experience (previous nexus one owner)
Good deal or not?

Yeah! Honestly, I got this phone yesterday and you will NOT be disappointed. The screen, the smoothness of ICS, it's just a freaking monster man. And You're only going to be paying around £70-£100 for the phone so you can't go wrong!
Edit: Just read you already own a GS2. I would not be so sure then, it depends on how desperate you are to get ICS, because once that hits the GS2 the only thing that will be to the Nexus' advantage is the screen and dev support, which is more than enough for me to go for the Nexus lol.

Decisions decisions....

Get it! and sell it me small profit for yourself

It's really a beast! Some of my favorite things are the screen,led,and the software buttons they are geinus!

Honestly, if I were you, I would wait until next year Q2 2012 when it is rumoured that quad core phones that are coming out. I'm pretty sure there are already ICS roms for the Galaxy S2 and you're getting it next year anyway from Samsung. However, I haven't had any experience with the Nexus so I can only tell you from what I think, I haven't actually compared the fluidity and smoothness of both phones.

keep your gs2 and wait.for.ice.

Good deal, go for it while you can still get that for your GS2.
I sold my GS2 for the Nexus and haven't looked back. It's just a better overall device and probably one of the coolest gadgets I've owned.

Gotta agree. There are a few users here that I see post the same useless drivel. Makes ya wonder.
Anyway, like I said before, go for it. You won't be disappointed.
Side note: The touch screen buttons have just made other Android devices look antiquated.

I am pretty sure I will if my friend doesn't decide to keep it.

£300 is not a great deal considering a brand new one sells for around £428.79. If you do not like it, you should be able to sell it for more than £300.

nice signature. lol.

It kind of depends. Since you already have a GS2 it's not really an upgrade but a lateral move from one phone to the next. The GN2 will definitely outlive the GS2 as far as official updates and dev support is concerned, but the GS2 already has plenty dev support right now and will likely have it for as long as you own/use the phone. The screen on the GN is way better, the processor is just as good, the GPU and camera on the GS2 are the only real advantages so it pretty much evens out in my book. It really is going to come down to personal preference. The reason I jumped to the nexus line was because I was a Vibrant owner and never saw a froyo update on my phone while Samsung promised and promised. The dev community and custom gone were the only things keeping me happy with my phone. About a week after the Nexus S was released I walked into a Best Buy and put my phone running a custom froyo rom with an overclocked processor up against a bone stock display model and the display model Nexus won every battle. I bought the phone a few days later and haven't looked back since. Now there are a few caveats to the story, one being that I had a variant of the GS and that Samsung had indeed finished the froyo update about two months before the release of the Nexus S (just not for the American variants) but at the end of the day, the Nexus S is going to receive an official update of ICS and the GS isn't despite them having nearly all the same hardware components. The devs are still there and they will give the phone a proper update but it would be easier with an official kernel to play with. Just my thoughts. Personally I'd go with the GN unless you plan on playing multiple high end games that require you to have a better GPU.

The stock google experience is swaying it for me right now and it looks like I will have to pay a minimum of £80 to £100 + selling my GS2.
Will see my mate on Thursday and take it from there and will let everyone know if I suddenly become a GN owner
My wife said no I cannot trade so I said it's an christmas present to myself so may have to sweeten her up a bit haha

Actually its a very very good deal. Its 429 + vat which is more like £520. Also considering its from his friend and not some random stranger he can be pretty sure there's not some weird fault with it or something dodgy. Its pretty close to having a brand new phone with £220 off
Personally for around £100 I would probably upgrade. I agree with other posts its more of a lateral move, but the SGS2 is soooo common now, especially in the UK, and its coming up to a year old soon. The Galaxy Nexus will stay 'new' for a while. Also remember the GN resolution is the native resolution for ICS and what it was designed for. Although other phones with lower resolutions will also get ICS i'm sure there'll be some compromises somewhere.
Anyway its all opinion, but for me i'm slightly for the GN. BTW I upgraded from a N1 to a Galaxy Nexus, and my only experience of a SGS2 is 5 minutes with my friends one at the pub.

Interesting as o2 would let me pay off my remaining 2 months of my contract so i could get the galaxy nexus earlier.
They told me they do not allow this anymore and for that they have lost a customer, they never even tried to do me a deal.
I pay £41 a month for unlimited everything on my new contract which would mean i will pay £984 over the 24 month contract.
Hes going to be well out of pocket once he pays off his contract is o2 let him.

Text my mate to say I am going for the GN so now it's just down to when I go and get some cash for my phone and when I get to see him next.
Good timing as well as he was considering selling it tomorrow!

I bought a galaxy nexus and returned to my s2...
Only the screen is better on this phone and the new os, everything else isnt worth spendig money on it...

It's costing my friend around £200 to pay off O2 and he managed to get the GN for FREE on 12 months at vodafone so he will actually make around £100 from this and will also be on a 12 month agreement not 18-24 months.
On o2 he pays £37-38 a month and Vodafone will be £41 a month so makes sense really for him to sell it and for me to buy it lol

Is it worth it upgrading from my S2 to the S3?

Don't get me wrong, I love my S2, but I'm also loving the new S4 processor, screen (HD Display), bigger screen, 2G of RAM, better 8MP camera and the new TouchWiz changes on the S3. I just wanted to get a few opinions on if it is really worth upgrading to the S3 or just holding out for something better? I would have went with the HTC One S, but the no sd card slot killed that decision for me. Thanks for any advice/input guys.

Yes its worth it imoTheoretically twice the performance and super amoled+ 720p screen alone are enough to warrant an upgrade over this phone. Remember we got the runt s2. This phone is sweet but in no way is a power house. Even the exynos powered s2 feel ages ahead of this chipset.

Do you know if the AT&T and Sprint versions of the S3 will be getting the same version of the T-Mobile S3? Like the S4 Qualcomm processor...Instead of last time where Sprint and AT&T got the Exynos processor instead of the S3 Qualcomm chip on the S2?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

I would wait for Google io and decide from there. Tbh, the smarter thing to do is wait until fall.
It's not that big of a leap to warrant paying and renewing your contact imo.
As far as i know all US carriers have the same hardware except for radios.
-dark

I think the the S3 is a solid generational leap from the S2. I'm still disappointed that they didn't go whole hog ICS, keeping physical keys and a menu button, but hardware wise, it's a hell of a phone. Put CM9 on it and wow.
And yes, the chipset, specs, and design are all the same on all US models.

Well that's the one big turn off for me on the S3 is the big physical button at the bottom

Ironically I've been disappointed in all US SGS releases thus far b/c it hasn't had the physical button. I think it add character to the phone and will offer some uniqueness as opposed to all softkeys. But, different strokes.
I am going to be picking up the TMO version this coming Friday (roman is too). We are planning on doing a stock smali hacked rom (like Juggernaut) AND of course putting AOKP on it. Gonna be fun. ^^

As if there weren't already enough reasons to get the S3
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

I personally like how the gs3 looks. Dunno if that melting issue affects all gs3s but that's something else to look out for. That drop test video shows it being more fragile than the gs2.
In waiting to see what the new nexus has to offer.

Well I've made my decision, and I'm picking up my S3 on Wednesday morning (6/27) as soon as my local T-Mobile store opens. It's just too much of a beast of a phone to turn down. I'll be sure to post back on my opinion of the device. Thanks guys.

I spoke with a sales rep today and they told me its gonna be 350 after mail in rebate. Ill not pay that much with a 2 year contract... just seems insane. Ever other phone out there is 200+/- 50

Personally I am just going to wait until the new nexus (or nexi?) Come out. Remember rumors have it that we will have up to five different versions this year to choose from. I think it will be worth it to wait a few months.

I personally don't think is worth upgrading
First of all Im not going to pay an insane price just to upgrade. my current phone cost me enough. Also the phone has some nice feature however I believe its better to wait for the next Google phone since there always more development.
Plus we already have CM9,MUIU,AOKP and AOSP. I think I can wait a little longer

I will be paying a 229.99 down payment for the 16GB version and then 20 bucks a month after that, only because I'm on a value plan. The 32GB version is a down payment of 279.99 and 20 bucks a month after that. If your a new customer or on a standard plan (and have an upgrade available) then it will be 279.99 for the 16GB and 329.99 for the 32GB.

I think that's to much money for a phone. The max I will ever pay for any phone is $200

Well sometimes for the latest and greatest technology I think its always going to be a little extra money. Especially when its brand new. Plus its not like I'm paying out of pocket for most of it, I sold my GS2 for $400 to be able to get the GS3...I think its well worth the upgrade.

Wow you got a lot for it. Where did you sell it

Would you do this trade for your Nexus?

I know a guy in real life, he is offering me a Galaxy Note in exchange for the Nexus and $100. I am really one the fence. I like the phone, but it might be a bit too large, would you do this deal?

So you would have to pay him $100 to get the Note? No chance. What makes the Note worth $100 more than the Nexus? Samsungs amazing TouchWiz UI or their lazy update procedure?
Phone for phone without any payment could be acceptable for someone who is ok with that.
But then I wouldn't even take the Note if he was paying me $100, so I'm biased.

Nope , don't do it ..
Now if the $100 wasn't in the picture then it would be a decision worth thinking about or if he was giving you the $100 =P

Stick with the Nexus

Straight up trade or nothing and that's only if you think you could find use out of the Note. I know quite a few store owners who love it especially for their online sales as they can just take pictures of products and doodle on it and send it out to prospective customer.
My father's colleague, who's a Apple guy, switched to a Note also for simply one reason; He could have the text large enough to use it without his glasses on .
There are use cases for the Note for sure, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it like most on here would .
On that note, I wouldn't use one personally as again, it doesn't fit my use cases.

Don't do it, especially if you like rooting and such.
Not sure Samsung ironed out the brick bug, but it's not the device to have if you want to run anything other than stock. Even doing a factory reset was bricking them. Ridiculous.

I wouldn't do it either. Just because something retails for more money doesn't mean it is actually worth more. Then Nexus is a better phone, period.

SGN is a super nice gadjet , but Nexus is the most compatible with android , if it was me , I'll *****slap him with his 100 buks and keep my phone. but this is me, maybe you have a different opinion
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

He should be paying you $100 plus the note to begin with, if you do it not only has he ended up with the better phone but he's robbed you $100 , just because the note retails for more new doesn't mean its the better device, look at the iPhone for example its inferior to the nexus but still costs more.

Keep your Nexus, it's still the backbone of Android.

When i thought to buy a new phone, the first on the line was the Note. So i went to stores do "meet" it. First look, i feel disconfortable by its size and start looking other phones, so i saw the Nexus and it was love at the first sight. When i held it in my hand, i knew that i´ll be my phone.
It fits perfectly.
Today i think that if i bought the Note i was regret. Not only because the size, but the OS updates and customizations.
Keep your Nexus and be happy for the rest of it´s days.
(sorry for the english)

Keep your Gnex and the $$$ , add 99 more and get the nexus7.
So you ll be complete

I have both and if its the ATT version its worth it. The dev support over there isnt bad and once you get used to the size, which I did very quickly, I don't even use the nexus anymore as the screen is so much more vibrant. Just slap on an AOSP rom and it turns the note into a great phone/tablet.

In my opinion the only S3 worht having is the international version as the US versions have been nerfed as they usually are by us carriers.
As to the OP keep your Nexus, I have friends who have the Note and they love it but development on it is nonexistant in comparison to the Nexus, heck my old Vibrant has more development going on right now.

S3 now or waiting for S4?

I am up for a new phone with my provider.
So I am wondering should I get the S3 now or should I wait for the next phone from Samsung.
I read abotu rumors that the S4 might be pulled up to go on sale with the iPhone 5.
Though based on track recrod I doubt to see a S3 successor prior to July 2013 (if not later).
Currently I have a Samsung Infuse (AT&T) and I am quite happy with it.
What are your thoughts?

No way will an S4 be released along side the iPhone 5. It's still a ways off I'm sure. Just get the S3, you won't regret it.

You should always upgrade ASAP when on a subsidized carrier like AT&T. Every month you delay is money down the drain because your current phone is "paid off", yet they don't reduce your monthly bill to reflect that.
Upgrade to the S3, and either sell your old one on ebay, or keep it as a backup.

Had the S2 and kicked the idea around for a bit. Man I'm so glad I went and bought the S3 out right. Sold the S2 on amazon and haven't regretted it once. If the S4 somehow resurrects the lord Jesus Christ back onto earth I'll snag it as well. I'm not really sure what the game plan for Samsung is next year.

Exactly, I had a skyrocket which is not much different from the S3. But I upgraded to the S3 and man what a difference it is in terms of software. Lots of great new things that I couldnt get even with the S3 roms on the skyrocket. Really good decision for me. And just like the other user said, you should get the S3 since your bill doesnt reduce. The S3 had all the features that I wanted in the skyrocket. HD screen and LED notification light. But I just had to get the skyrocket I couldnt stand my iphone anymore.

If you wait for the next greatest and latest thing you'll always end up waiting. When the s4 comes out you can always sell your s3 for some descent change and come within $300 of buying the s4 with no contract more than likely.

That's what I did with my s2, sold it on ebay for 330 after I unlocked it, and bought a brand new s3 for 475. In the end bought an s3 for $145 off contract. I'm up for renewal next March, so the s4 should be right around the corner then.

Not exactly true, if you are the first line on the account, your upgrades come earlier. For example, I am the first line in our account and get a yearly upgrade because of it. I get the 2-year price for a 1-year contract.
The phone is a great one. Top of the line specs, great size, and thinness make it so much better to hold. My only problem with the phone is the heating and that stupid home button.
Once you get past that though, it's really great!

I went from the Infuse to a S3, its a night and day difference... Put JB on it and its even faster.. Well worth the upgrade.

s3 since day one, will upgrade to iphone september, will get the new nexus device december and s4 april or when ever its released therefore keeping 3 updates a year!

I would get the SIII. The phone is sick and so fast when running JB. It is the best phone ever IMO. You would not regret getting this phone.

I thought I would hate the home button too. After a month with it, however, I really like it. I now wish my tablet had a home button!

Xda members are so savvy! I love all the talk about selling your old phone and paying the difference for the new one. It usually works out to paying less than the $199 new contract price. And when you're actually up for renewal, you actually make money selling the old phone since you dont have to pay full price and the new one is only $199! I've been doing this for years. I never keep a phone too long because its not worth much later. So definitely get the s3, then if you want the iPhone 5 or note 2 or whatever, sell the s3 and buy your next gadget. Waiting two years is for suckers!!!

I'm sooo sick of these kind of posts. The phone has barley a couple months old and people are already asking if I should wait for the next model. Who knows maybe the S4 will have 8 cores and be the best phone ever, but in the end it's your choice what phone you buy.

if you are sick then go to doctor. Don't come here and spread your sickness with your ****ty comments.
@OP: I understand your dilemma, but I think we don't even have any news/leaks about S4..so you should just get S3. As many people said "you won't regret it"

The only dilemma I see is the new snapdragon s4 pro quad with adreno 320 probably hitting in a few months. Either way I'm loving my s3.
