[Q] Upgrade incoming, need advice - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I will be due for an upgrade in a few days and I have decided on the Galaxy SIII! I am looking for places to buy it and I am considering a refurbished unit to get it for a lower price. Has anyone had experience with refurbished units? Good or bad?
I haven't seen a brand new S3 less than 100 (from amazon wireless). Do you have any go to places you would buy a Galaxy S3 from?
Thanks!

So I moved onto the Atrix and have a brand new Tilt 2 that I pretty much want to sell and seeing as AT&T is selling this phone for damn near $600 what would be a good price to get a fast sale for this?
I was looking to sell for $350....
Any advice

Check eBay, you will see you can buy brand new "AT&T Tilt 2 New" in the box for $249 - $349, so you'll never sell a used one for $350. You may see some used ones on there as well to get an idea of price for a used one...
My Tilt 2 is brand new I got it from insurance before I upgraded to the Atrix, but $300 to $350 seems to be the norm

I would advice you to go no higher than $200. Even if it is new from insurance, they generally send out refurbished devices for warranty replacements now. AT&T and Sprint are the only US carriers still offering the device brand new. It is an old device now. Also, it's generally nice to offer the devices at a lower price on XDA in order to contribute a bit to the community. Offering it to chefs for a low rate is also another good idea. Some chefs don't cook for certain devices anymore as they don't have the device anymore for whatever reason. These are all of my suggestions.

[Q] Best way to get Galaxy Nexus?

This may have been asked before recently, but the only posts I saw were old when prices were way higher.
I had the iPhone 4, and I traded it for the Skyrocket. I've been trying to trade the Skyrocket for a 4S, so that I can sell it and buy the Nexus, but where should I buy it? Wheres the cheapest place?
Have a Skyrocket on AT&T, need a place to buy GNex for cheap, or some plan to get it cheaper.
Cheapest I've seen is $600.
Negri Electronics has Canadian versions for $595 (free shipping), and there are some coupons floating around that should work with it. I got it from them with a $30 off coupon on Thursday, but they've killed that.
AFAIK if you want a brand new one, that's the cheapest you're gonna get right now. There are some open box and used units for around the same price or a little cheaper if you search hard. Right now $595 or a little less is a steal for this device.

[Q] Cheaper location to buy Galaxy Nexus?

Hello,
I'm looking to buy the Galaxy Nexus but i'm looking for the cheapest place. I already found this:
www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung-Galaxy...ndroid-4-0-Ice-AT-T-T-Mobile-4G-/220995379111
$458 + free shipping (USA), that is the best that i can find, do anyone knows about other cheaper place? I'm not looking for subsidized/contract phones, thanks.
That's about as cheap as it gets unless you wanna buy used or wait for a deals site to drop it.
Newegg has it for $450: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176322
Amazon about $455: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-I9250...8HHK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1335138568&sr=8-7

[Q] Any SIM free offers in the UK?

Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Where to buy the Note 3 for tmobile online?

hey all. nexus 4 user here.
dropped my baby on concrete and shattered it, and then dropped it in water (both on accident, of course!) and now i need to get a new phone. I've had my eye set on the note 3 for some time now. I bought a note 2 last year off ebay, but the seller reported it stolen so he could get a free replacement, and i got screwed, so im not going to trust ebay with high value purchases. I cannot seem to find the tmobile model on amazon, or at least, i can't find one from what looks like a trusted seller. It looks like i need to get the n900t model for tmobile. is the regular n900 model compatible with tmobile 4g? any links would be appreciated, the cheaper the better, obviously!
thanks!
swappa.com, there is no other answer here...
