Do it man. I left this phone and had it for a good 6 months. If you truly care about updates you will not regret it. The development is great and the phones is amazing. You will have all the newest updates and besides, the GS2 will not likely see JB. Nexus has slower data speeds, but not a huge difference, has a pretty decent camera, storage wise, you just need to handle memory better, people have so much crap they don't need.
In short, I am super happy I made the switch to the Nexus from this phone.

I just realized it only costs $349. So tempted.
If you're gonna make the switch, do it quickly. Apple just won a ban on Galaxy Nexus sales in the US.

Everyone is jumping ship for JB. If its in perfect condition there should be someone willing to pay around $300+ for it. Im just going to wait it out and re-up when my contract is up.
I just got my t989 a week ago so its in perfect condition can probably get 300+ for it. but im going to be patient and wait. I'm not going to rush and sell this phone yet.

Purchased mine back in January off-contract, don't plan to get the GNex, if i do get a newer phone it will be the GNex's successor and ill prolly purchase one in January at the earliest.
So, I saw a girl write on Facebook that she is selling a T Mobile Galaxy S3. So I inboxed her and ask how much she wanted. She told me to make an offer, so I said I wouldn't pay any more than $300. Then she asked me would I pay $220? I told her yes!!!! Says its brand new used since June comes with box booklets etc and flawless condition! Did I just hit jackpot? Is the phone worth it? Anything I should "lookout" for? I'm a galaxy nexus owner by the way guys!!!

Hopefully she isnt scamming you by selling her phone, reporting it stolen, having TMo blackball your phone rendering it useless, using insurance to replace her 'stolen' phone and pocketing the leftover cash.
Other than that you did good!

Ask her for the IMEI number so you can verify everything is in order with TMo, if she still has it. Than call TMo and ask them to tell you if everything is good with that phone, and have them document it in your account that you called.
"iSwitch"?
Something seems fishy... lol

Since you told her they are going for 300(which is really cheap to start with for a s3) and she offered you 220 for it, seems too good to be true.
But if everything checks out OK with the imei then yes you scored big time.
But make sure you get pictures over the device. I've ran into so many scams on Craigslist that it wouldn't surprise me if they migrated to Facebook.
My advice, proceed with caution

Either she's pulling a fast one in you if she's beyond stupid. You offered $300 but she only wants $220? What? Like everyone else said, verify the IMEI before you give her a single cent.
Sent from my SGH-T999
How do you verify the IMEI?
Does she lives near you? If so meet at T-Mobile and transfer the phone to your account on the spot.

I appreciate the replies guys. Honestly I think shes just a clueless teenage girl that has no idea how much its worth. Notice her spelling. She's about 18 years old I'm sure, and she's just switching carriers, I really doubt there's any fishy stuff going on, but I will see if she meets me at the T-Mobile store in our local mall. I don't wanna go there and have the people say something like "your selling it for only 220, that's unfair!" And blow everything up in my face :/ I wont be using the phone as my daily driver but I will switch from galaxy nexus to s3 every few days ^_^

He said that wouldnt pay more then 300 he never offered 300. She shot him a price and he accepted. Why is that hard to believe.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Because most people would say 'You wont pay more than $300? OK, $299'
Thanks for the help guys. I'm coming to conclusion that when I said 300.00 she assumed that's how much they go for brand new. So offered a lesser price. I highly doubt she has any cell phone knowledge. She told me its in flawless condition as well. Used for a few months. I'll contact her again and see what's up!

That was before. Its no longer on backorder. We just got 20 in and their now in stock in every one of our locations. Also available through asurion and AE.
We went through this exact same issue with the s3 multiple times and as well with the iPhone 5. That phone is still on backorder through sprints insurance. Lg releases a popular device and it goes on backorder everyone freaks out and claims an eol which turned out to be a mistake (that is now fixed).

Hello. My ex girlfriend cut my phone off when I broke up with her. I went to tmobile corporate office Store and switched the phone to a prepaid. 2 months later she is calling me saying I have to pay her 400 to cancel her plan or she is reporting the phone stolen when I paid for the phone. Can she do this? Since I had it switched from her plan on mine which is prepaid.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wait...the line is under her name? You're screwed lol, her account, her phone. She can have the imei blacklisted and you have yourself a nice android version of a iPod touch.
If she does report it, you can keep the it or sell it for parts, don't expect to get too much for it though.

How did you pay for the phone ? Did you pay through T-Mobile or to her or what ?
If you paid through her she can do this and you'd have to take her to small claims court or something and hope you have enough proof to win the case. This is pretty much the same way that people on CL scam people into buying a phone and then stopping paying for it / reporting it stolen - and there's plenty of evidence of people getting burned that way.
Otherwise, this is why it's a bad idea to have things in a significant other's name when you're just dating. At least with marriage there's automatic legal recourse if you divorce (even if it's still an expensive and drawn-out process). This is just way too much ridiculous drama, I'd suggest that you talk to a T-Mobile rep but they're going to have to sift through all this he-said she-said crap and I can't blame them if they can't figure it out or just don't care, sorry dude.
if you have the receipt and it was paid for by your bank card, then that changes the game to in your favor not hers. (this happened to my step dad)
That 400 is probably the early cancellation fee PLUS the contract price of the phone.
You're best bet is to convince her to spin the phone off from her contract to your own contract. T-Mobile won't care as long as the contract isnt broken. In this case it's not, she has her contract and you have yours.
Good Luck
Damn what a hateful chick lol
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Exactly. I paid 235 with my bank card at the store to get the phone. And I paid 100 for her cell phone bill. Her bill was 95 a month when I got the phone with my employee discount added it dropped the bill to 145 a month. I was paying 80 a month for my half of the bill.

If you have a receipt from this ^^^ transaction, then you are in the clear. Sounds to me like she is trying to scam you for the ETF and $400 is in that range (probably with a little extra tagged on for her "pain and suffering")

first things first. your freind is young and stupid. not only will he have a strike against his credit but they will

let this be a lesson to you what not to do.. i spent a whole year repairing my credit because i wanted to buy a house and there was no way around that. he thinks it's nothing now but he will see how stupid it is later. and don't forget that any decent job is checking your credit flle before hiring you.. fyi.. same with car insurance companies. having bad credit can be like having a criminal record follow you around.
remember, how can two walk together except they agree..

anyone else getting the feeling that "shaqqq's friend" is actually himself... you seem extremely concerned about your "friends" credit and what can happen. personal i hope they send the cops to "your friend's" home and arrest him for fraud and grand theft. he basically has three note 2's & and iphone 5 he feels he doesn't have to pay for (shows character) so that right there is close to $2,800 plus a couple months over due on service. just enough for GT of the third degree.
but unfortunately that wont happen... "theres procedures, we love procedures" (sorry, Top Gear quote)... but most likely "your friend" will just accept the bad credit strikes, whatever comes with it & live with his moral standards.... im sure its not the first time you (i meant he) does this type of scam. might get away with it now but one day you wont get away with it and get caught and thrown in jail... and we'll still be paying for "your friends" 4x8 box
just sounds sad. "he" needs the money? get a job... obviously he couldnt afford the first note 2 when he signed up with tmobile in the first place.

Will if it is you and you're really stealing and lying why would you tell us the truth. What you need to recognize is this community doesn't take to kindly to anyone stealing from the phone company. not that we like them so much, but we like electronics and know that eventually we are the ones who will pay for it with higher bills, phones and insurance costs.

Okay what could happen is shot credit, and he gets beat up. I say that because tmo WILL blacklist the phone. Your friend will still sell it, probably as new based off my take on the kind of person he is. So he then screws someone who doesn't know better, or gets someone like me who takes every penny I lost back one way or another.
He will also never be able to come back to tmo and will have all the benefits of poor credit for a long time, you know no car, house, credit cards. He will then die a virgin because girls don't want low life scum. Or if he gets a girl it will be a trashy girl and your friend will get an std.
