Galaxy Nexus new user

Hey all just want to say, I got this phone for a great deal and although I own a galaxy s3 international I am super impressed with this phone.
Not sure which one to keep now!
How much do you all think this phone is worth since its in perfect condition and have the original box and charger?

Not much more than around $300, given you can buy it from the Play Store for $350.

I got it for 150 usd!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

$150 is a steal considering its modding potential & not even a year old. Which one to keep depends on your priorities and whether you need some extra cash. If you're the type that must have the latest & greatest, keep the SGS3. If you want a phone with the best dev support, or you need cash, then keep the GNex and sell the SGS3.

Well bought my gs3 a month ago and love it.
I saw this deal and took a chance on it. I will end up selling it though as my gs3 is better suited for me. Maybe trade this for a nexus 7

So you came here to start a new thread to let us know you got the phone and will be selling it.
Mmm, okay. Thanks for the great info.

right, im thinking the OP should just stay on the gs3 forum instead of buying the phone to tell us how it isn't as good as a gs3.

First of all no I didn't come here to talk about the s3, I am talking about this gn that I just got today for 150 bucks. Its an amazing device none the less but I do still have my gs3 which I personally like better.
Was looking for some opinions on it. I am going to keep it as a secondary phone plus it has great development capabilities.
Please don't try to make me sound like arsh.
Anyways will look into rooting all that jazz later!

$150 is a scream'n deal. Nice

This lady was selling it here in Germany because she thought she can't use it in the states or something.
I didn't argue or inquire to much, just gave her 150 cash and got the phone.
Its really nice to Jelly Bean too! The s3 might get it this next week.
With having the nexus I think it will take care of the flashing habit of mine plus I know it will get android updates in the long run versus the s3! So yeah win win for me!

Has anybody seen the branding on the Verizon version? They actually put the Verizon logo on the home button and the logos on the back are huge. If sprint does this I won't get it, Verizon managed to make a great looking phone into crap. I really don't mind the back, but really on the home button?

But there is no carrier logo on the sprint version

Haven't seen it yet, I'll get it if there isn't any. Love that sprint is doing so well now, first to get jellybean and start rolling out 4G faster. Happy I stayed

I am in December. That's when I'm paying my ETF and switching to either ATT on contract(I actually might buy the phone outright from them) or t-mobile prepaid, where I'd still have to buy it outright. I'm just fed up with Sprint.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

sprint's been doing good with 4g rollout and 3g speeds in san antonio, so i may pick it up. 5.5" is huge though!! (that's not what she said)

Bigger screen with the same resolution as the S3, pass.

Bigger screen is nice in bed watching youtube and movies, but you could have a tablet instead, and keep a phone for calling and stuff.

Phone has nice specs but with S3 and a 7" tablet w/pen functions I don't need it. I can see how a device like this could really catch on in the business community though. Wish I could put it in the hands of all my field techs but the cost of data plans is still too high.

I want to see what the lower dpi screens about. Also probably won't get cm10 for note 2 and even if we do probably won't get the s-pen working. I might pass and keep the s3.

Cheapest way to upgrade before being eligible for upgrade?

Hi, just wondering if there are any loopholes that have worked for anyone in the past.
I'm really interested in either the Nexus 4 or Note 2. I love the S2 but I dont have an upgrade until Jan 2014 and these new phones are just so intriguing. I definitely don't want to pay a non contract price for these phones, but was hoping to sell my S2 and use it to buy a new phone at hopefully a good price.
Any advice?

not sure of any loop holes. most companys make sure there are none.
i say sell the s2 and get the n4. with the price being so low its worth it.

I looked up on the sprint buyback program and they'll give you $85 for the e4gt.

Well I have three phones mine wife and daughter wife never likes upgrading so I get her upgrades with mine not cheap but it works

That's at the moment. Look at the Gnex. It was released GSM first then Verizon got it, and then Sprint. I don't think Google is that dumb to cut Verizon from getting the Nexus and Sprint has gotten the other Nexus devices aside from the Nexus One.

I get the distinct impression that future nexuses (nexii?) will be gsm only given the widespread dissatisfaction with the update process on CDMA carriers

When I got my gs2 back in April I wasn't up for my upgrade till mid may. Anyway I brought it to a 3rd party sprint store and told me we could pretend it had water dmg and in that case sprint cuts you a few weeks slack and forks over the upgrade as its cheaper for them then asurian claims sending a new phone....at least that's what my rep said to me... he's a nice guy

I'm not sure there will be one, perhaps just maybe but I highly doubt it as google was left with a bad taste with their experience with Verizon and Sprint.

I love the hardware of my epic touch but I know we can do better in regards of software. Jb leak is proof of that and what is likely to come. However I am getting tired of running gb. Having a nexus 7 tablet doesn't help my case when i get constant updates as soon as good drops new source. I am hoping I can hold out for the jb update or even a newer leak. But if not I would love to find a way to get a sg3 for cheap. And I don't really want to add another line.

I used to always buy my phones out of contract, I would ebay my phone, get paid apply that $ towards my new phone and ship the old one out. I would usually ship the next day so I wasn't holding up my buyer.
These days I just buy from Craigslist. Picked this phone up for 240 around mid summer, I think.

I agree with this, I bought my sgs2 in June for $220 off contract (used). It came in great shape and working perfectly. I'm thinking I'll keep buying phones this way - just wait for them to be ~9 months old and you can get them for the upgrade price. This way if a new phone drops that I just have to have I'm always ready with the upgrade. Also if I somehow kill my current phone I don't have to worry about carrying insurance, just use my upgrade on whatever's out.
The only thing better is direct from Google pricing, which I may switch to but I will loose some coverage in my state by leaving CDMA so I haven't decided on that yet.

On Black Friday you can purchase the SIII for $50. You could definitely buy that, sell it along with the S2 and buy a note.

Wait. $50 out of contact?
or let more rephrase. I wouldn't get the $50 price because I'm not eligible for upgrade until 1/14 right?

I've heard that people sold their current phones on Craigslist, used that money towards buying out the rest of their contract then upgrade.
Or sell on Craigslist and use that money towards buying one you want on Craigslist. Either would cost around the same

I wonder what happened to calling the retention center and threatening to leave the sg2 and the countless problems the ICS update I would think would be a great bartering chip to try and get retention to let you upgrade to the sg3 either cheap or for nothing.

Hah, I can assure you, after 20 phone calls, they don't give a **** about their customers.
I've had my account open with sprint since 1991.
There are 5 lines on the account.
They have made ~$50,000 from my family.
Yea, no, I will switch to anything better as soon as possible.

[Q] Quick Question please advise

Hey fellow XDA users I've got a question regarding pre-ordering on ATT.
I've been unable to receive a clear answer from customer support or any other sites.
Basically does pre-ordering a device give you an upgrade?
I believe so because when my Galaxy S2 I-777 was stolen my dad used his upgrade to
get me a Galaxy S3. He had his upgrade left over since he pre-ordered the Galaxy Note1.
Now my GS3 screen is cracked, but still works so i plan to sell it(got the unlock code) and
pre-order the S4 when it becomes available, so does pre-ordering in-fact give you an early upgrade or was that just luck?
Thanks

Only AT&T will know the specifics. If you are having trouble with the CSRs on the phone, try going to a store, they will be more willing to answer questions like that.

No it doesnt give you an upgrade. You can only use the up grade for a pre order is the up grade is already available.

Thanks guys just wondering though since my dads upgrade was still there after pre-ordering the note 1

Most of the time the account does use the upgrade until the device comes in and the account is changed. This could also be that he paid full retail for it.

and don't forget that S4 for U.S variants won't come out till June.

Thanks dude and no he payed $300 subsidized

i'll smack someone in the face for talking down to an S2. i'm with ya. that was the best phone i've ever had. it took everything i ever threw at it and ran like a champ.

You know, I am not sure. I used to be able to upgrade a lot earlier if I pre-ordered a iPhone on AT&T on my family plan. They may have done away with that. You should ask though because it is possible.

On the box it's called the galaxy note 2 so it has something to do with the galaxy line. OP, Sprint won't drop the price for awhile. Maybe never. If you want it asap then look to other dealers or buying it used.

I doubt there's going to be a price drop on the Note 2. Not till the Note 3 anyways.. You guys are comparing a phablet to a phone. Price drop for the GS3? Sure, you can already get one practically free..

It's true. If you can't afford it at a certain price then don't buy it. But that's probably why they want to see it go down in price, because they can't afford higher price. Nothing wrong with that. Plus I saw an article that said s3 and note 2 aren't far off in costs to make. In the end the reason for price difference is the cell company trying to make more money cause phone is bigger. I guess it could cost them more but either way just look at the prices for the note 2, started at $299 for new customers, about 3 months and new customers were able to get it for $99 from Amazon.

3. People. There's people out there who simply cant afford the best things in life. Some not even a peace of bread. Consider your self lucky to even own a phone. And stop trashing on other people who cant.

He's not making up anything man. It IS called a phablet. Yes it's a phone too but it was designed as a tablet. I know the word phablet sounds really stupid but that's the chosen word I guess. How many phones out there have an SPen or have the features ours has? Think about it. Our device already does more than the gs4 ever will and once we get all the new software it will be even better.
Btw op watch the prices on Amazon.com. I got mine for $199 and I've seen it go as low as $169. It's different almost every day.
