So...
this is my current Situtation...
I've been under a Contract for +14 months now with my career; when i first got the contract i got an Xperia X10 Back on October 2010 but i got bored of it and around May this year i made a switch for Free with them for the SGS1 which i must say is a beautiful phone and I really love how the phone works even it's more than 16 months old since it came out.
Here in Guatemala we have not too many options in regards of High End Phones such as the SGS2 or HTC at all... But i have the option of a Free Upgrade for 1 Xperia Arc in early December.
I've got someone from here who is willing to buy my SGS1 for a really good price (around USD $500 - High End phones are kinda expensive here hehe) and i wanted to ask for your opinion if you guys think is it worth to upgrade to the Arc and sell the SGS1... I mean i have the option of selling any of them and keep the other...
Also have you heard if Eventually the Arc will get the so awaited ICS update?
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
I have to say Yes We have few developers stepping in for building ROM's
Here is a comparison, you decide:

I would upgrade to arc from SGS1 any day of the week... it's a really really great bit of kit... Love the camera, love the screen.. and it's not 100% confirmed for ICS but leaks have suggested that it will.
Sony have officially stated that all of their 2011 xperia models will be getting ICS. That includes the original arc as well as the arc S.
As far as the upgrading question goes, i would say the arc is definitely worth it. There are faster/more powerful phones out there, but nothing as well designed or with as good a camera.
Wow.I wouldn't buy a new galaxy S for 250$.sell it now

Going on line and spending $500 has nothing to do with getting a free upgrade from your service provider. Especially since he said dual core phones werent available in the original post.
He can sell his phone for500 = free upgrade

He specifically mentions not having the SGS2 or high end HTC phones available. And he's getting the offer of a free upgrade from his carrier. And yet this is your suggestion:

Not to be a wet blanket but if you think for one minute the WH gives a tinker's damn about those petitions, you should start by looking at what's already there with 100k+ sigs. Like every state in the union wanting to secede. On top of that, this was bought and paid for in a negotiation between the carriers and what is, in my view, the finest government money can buy. Look at it this way: if you want to get your phone paid for by someone else, be prepared to accept their conditions. Or spend the $ to get an unlocked version. Or ask the carrier to unlock it. Word is they will if you're current. At the end of the day this really only hurts (US based) unlock code vendors and people trying to buy a ATT phone on ebay to use on TMo's 2G (or similar).

On the fifth day since petition started and over a quarter of the way there to the 100K (almost 26K sigs). Hopefully this will continue and speed up. Perhaps with more than 100K in half the required time the White House will actually look at it and make the change.
I'll post in my thread. Could probably get the rest of the signatures just from there. lol.

I was under the impression that the rules state it only affects phones purchased after the date it goes into effect. So this shouldn't even matter to those who already own an S3.
Don't get me wrong, it's still important for future purchases, for anyone planning to get the S4 and 5 eventually.

To be honest I don't see the big deal. If people did their research they would know this only applies till the phone is paid off at the end of contract and doesn't apply to any lte device due to the agreement with the FCC when the late bands were bought

Thanks. Never even thought about this factor. In theory, the LTE phones should never be carrier locked since the LTE is utilizing the 700Mhz band. This means happy unlocking...whatever method I choose. Wonder if AT&T would cave in eventually on this?

I was just asking him by PM if he received the note it's been 8 days already counting weekends hope he gets it soon
Probably will take sometime getting past their post office and customs, if its anything like where I am probably need to pay some custom tax or bribe someone to get it faster

I've seen this situation occur on every Galaxy device I've ever owned. Vibrant, S2, different carriers, now ths Note.
I recommend when you want to donate money to a developer, ask them directly for their donation preference. Or you'll end up in a thread like this where the guy who was supposed to be in charge doesnt even know where people's money magically went.
Not accusing anyone, just stating the facts.
I remember this 12 year old kid hustling thousands out of people when the S2 came out, he used multiple accounts to "talk up" other accounts that were wannabe developers for false hope donations.
Kinda just comical at this point.
Seeing how the other Developer in these forums received his Donated Note 8.0 with no problem I highly doubt there will be an issue here.
That said, I would think it would be better to just donate to the Dev himself and let him order it. E-Bay ships all over.
Want baked? I'm considering one of these or the Sony Tablet Z, a donation could go along way towards my decision!
Emwno any note 8 yet buddy? Can't wait till you get your paws on one of these?

The day I get it, you shall find something new in either of the development sections
* Looks like AT&T cuaght it last night and changed it back*
Saw this at work today and thought I would share it with everyone. I don't know how long it will last though. It says web only, but I called and they not only moved my upgrade up a couple months but they also matched the price!!!
If any of you have an upgrade or know someone who does, this is the chance. They only had white left when I called this afternoon.

With a 2 year contract. ..??

Of course with a two year contract, it is AT&T after all It's still a great price if you have an upgrade though. Last week when I checked they were $199 with a 2 year....
I know I didn't hesitate to grab one today!
Now it's time to do some reading on rooting and roming so I can put this Infuse in the desk drawer

Yea, looks like AT&T made a mistake and fixed it last night. There was a really short time frame. That's why I posted the screen shot as well to show what I saw at the time I got it ordered. I was hoping to help a couple folks out and get the deal before AT&T caught it.....

Wasn't a mistake. Att does has done this for the refurb note 2's twice already. Cheapest refurb it ever went was 99cents.
This deal started 2 days ago and was posted in slickdeals.net. Just so happened all the refurbs sold out already.

In looking at my post, I may have come off a little harsh on that comment, I want to apologize if I did.
But it's good that you started this topic. Probably made some curious people into buying a note 2 for cheap. (Just like how I'm curious for the $130 HTC one at Costco)
Not at all, I honestly didn't know AT&T did that.

If you're near Fairfax VA or Columbus Oh those two Microcenters are the first ones selling ATT phones. They have the S4 and One for $99 and Note 2 for $149. Bought my One there while I was visiting friends. (Then went on to trade my One straight up for 2 Note 2's )

I managed to pick one up. Should be here by Wed. Can't wait. I'm coming over from the Skyrocket forum.
So I might be purchasing a new phone through Craigslist, the guy doesn't have a receipt but claims to work for T-Mobile, and has the phone bought out right paid in full... If I just go to a T-Mobile and have them check the IMEI and the dudes plan, they can pull a receipt for him and me showing that it is paid up correct? Also, how can I go about preventing him from calling it in stolen or lost, and then me having a IMEI corrupted phone? Any word of advice fellas?
He will have to be present to give them permission to access his account. Then he will have to ask for the specific info and let you view it with him.
Then ask a store employee, not him, to remove the s3 from his account and make note of it in yours.
Make sure you view either an e-receipt, or his last two phone bills. Check if he's paying on an eip.
This is just what common sense would tell me to do. Not sure if there's an actual transfer of ownership they can do or what. But I would have to be highly satisfied with the info before handing over my cash!
Its a little extreme, but you could have a bill of sale written up, kinda like when you buy a car from an individual.
Just be comfortable with the situation and seller. It doesn't matter what steps you take, if he does something to get it blacklisted, you'll have no recourse w tmobile I don't think.

Almost exactly what I asked from him and the second I did ask, he backed out and said its too complicated and furthermore removed the post from CL...
