Does anyone want to hook me up with a GS2

Hey does anyone have an extra galaxy s2 that they got from Tmobile retentions that they want to sell?
Desperately want this phone. It's so sexy! Finally made up my mind on getting the GS2 after debating between the HTC Amaze. Now i can't find one.

why don't you just get it from Telus on Friday
it's the same phone
and you can unlock it easily on any of those malls phone stands that does unlocking. (expecting darn telus like bell not releasing the unlock code for 3 months)
if you buy it from the US $529.99 + shipping + Canadian custom fees = the same price you buy it locally at $599.99 + tax
with the added benefit of easy exchange (and un-branded) in case we find any of those screen pixel errors people have reported, or worse case scenario this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318972
the next best thing is to drive to the border go into a mall / tmobile store and buy it yourself
but... if you add the cost of GAS to go and come back... again it will add up to just about the same price, if you buy it locally.
LOL

Not being sarcastic. Did you try eBay or Craigslist. That's where I got mine.

Start a bounty thread.
I have nothing clever to put here. Sent from my: T-Mobile SGS2

well in a way it's a fair idea to get a good phone for less than retail value
but i very doubt any one would be willing to forgo their free upgrade/retention for less than $500
considering the phone only came out 2.5 week ago

Desire Z worth selling second hand?

My contract expires in a weeks time, and I will be changing carriers and upgrading to a new LTE handset (most likely a Razr HD). I am trying to decide if the DZ is worth putting on ebay or not, I have watched a few DZ auctions and they are lucky to go for $100 these days, and that's for stock rom handsets, mine is probably worth even less as its running CM7.2.
I can't believe I paid $650 for the handset 24 months ago, talk about depreciation. What is everyone else doing with their DZ handsets? keeping or selling, I don't really need another old phone sitting in my draw but $100 seems like such a waste of a great qwerty smartphone.

I would keep it myself but I'm also the type of person that would snatch up that phone for $100. I'm Happily using a 3 yr old N1 I paid $115 for a few months ago from a member on here.

I would say it depends on your phone's condition. If it looks fine then you should sell it. If running on stock make it more desirable, then maybe unroot the phone if that's not too much work for you?

it's more like overly marked-up. The Nexus 4 and the iPad mini is sold for about 150% hardware cost and they are still at half of that $650 price.

Dude would be willing to trade for a G2?
I have two htc G2's, and want to trade one for a Desire Z??

Interested in buying my Desire Z? Its an unbranded and unlocked GSM model which I purchased outright from Handtec in Nov 2010, it has heaps of accessories such as:
Desktop dock charger
Additional original HTC battery
Black rubber case
Authentic PDair leather case
Original HTC earphones and charger (UK plug like all handtec stock)
I still have the box and receipt
I would sell it for $100 (AUD) plus freight, which is fair I think considering the above accessories cost me well over $100.

The condition is not bad, like not perfect the rear battery door is a bit scratched but you can replace them easily and there is a couple scratches on the corners and a few surface scratches on the gorilla glass as I didnt use a screen protector over the last few months, you can only notice them on certain angles though.
I dont really have the time to unroot the phone, if it was worth more I would probably find time.

Nah mate not interested, I thought the G2 was the same a DZ anyway?

I think shipping would be expensive as I'm in Canada. But I will check.

$275 for my Note II from Tmobile

I was just at a Tmobile store and they offered me $275 to trade in my Note II. Is this new $275 is pretty close to what l would sell it for on CL. Just thought I'd Pass this into along to anyone who might be interested.

I just picked up a really clean rooted one off swappa for 325. That doesn't sound THAT far off, unfortunately...

TMobile is taking trade ins straight up now? Even with out jump program?

Yep, I specifically asked if there were any restrictions or stipulations. There were none, I didn't even need to buy a phone.

sold one on ebay a week ago for little over $400, after fees+ ship I net around $350
$275 isn't bad if you don't want to go through the trouble

Listed mine on craiglist 2 days ago for $425. No one interested, then i lowered down to 400$ , still got no calls or texts. Today, I lowered down to $375, finally got someone offered $325. I sold it to him. If this WAs an iphone 5, its probably been sold the 1st day.

[Q] Best Buy Showing Note 4 Verizon version as $349 today.

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...

crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay

Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.

When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.

I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...

Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.

I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck

I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.

Sprint Moto Z2 Force on sale $120

FYI to anyone interested: Sprint is selling the Moto Z2 Force Edition for $120 for the full price, no contract or lease. I ordered one a few days ago after researching the device, GREAT PHONE! It pretty much has the internals of the Samsung GS8, so I thought I should buy one and I was not wrong, at least so far.
Sprint and Best Buy are selling at $120. Not sure if anyone else is.
Also looks like we have a bootloader unlock and root method? I was so pissed about the Galaxy S7 bootloader because I pre-ordered one. Never again will I pre-order, I sure learned my lesson there.
Only "major" problem so far is the tempered glass screen protector, which I did take note of during my investigative process before purchase. Turns out I also am a victim of that, so I suppose the route is the film-type screen protector.
In summary, buy this phone at the price point! You will not regret it. Also, Sprint's Kickstart $25/mo unlimited promo plan, you can still buy this phone at this price straight from Sprint. Best Buy, you can buy it unactivated for $159, and afaik Best Buy is sold in-store only.
Best of luck to you deal searchers out there!

Yea just got one at best buy and I'm on the sprint free one year unlimited, plan service is not bad.

Hm, with the screen. I will never understand what the people mean with the scratches. I have this phone for a very long time and no one scratch until today. There are people who tell that they got scratches just after one day. How? Ok, maybe I have to wait one year to see any scratches on my Z2 Force For 799€ the phone should be over the top.

i saw the sale to late.
sprint website is out.
local stores have stock but mysterisouly arent allowed to sell unless purchased online.
att and verizon willing to price match but both are out of stock!
ebay reseller scum have plenty of stock at 2-3 X the price!
i dont buy phones often but i would buy this in a heartbeat.
i am proud to say i am totaly hosed on this sale YAY!!!
