I hope this question isn't too annoying or vague, but I'm considering a trade offer from Craigslist and I want to know if it is "worth it" or not. The offer is an iPhone 4S (I know, not Android, but I'm curious..) for a trade with my S3 - no extra cash either way. I'd prefer an iPhone 5 due to the larger screen but is that too high of a "request" when trading off my S3? I'd just hate to wait for replies for an iPhone 5 trade if the two devices are not even comparable enough to trade from the beginning.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Ok ok lol. I still have an Android tablet and will be back as soon as KLP is out just getting bored. And it would have been funnier if you put "trader" instead... ok bad pun.
The S3 depreciates in value quicker than an iPhone does. But I do think he should be offering you cash + the 4s for your s3.
My friend has an EVO LTE and he got an iPhone 4S + $125 offer the other day. I'd avoid that trade if I were you.
Lol whatever as far as your question goes I would assume the s3 is worth more and I would be asking for money considering the s3 is the superior phone

Ok thanks. Maybe I'll try and get a few bucks thrown in. What are your thoughts on S3 to i5? Would I need to throw in some cash for that?

It'd be a nearly equal trade, possibly a little more expensive for a used iPhone 5 over an S3. But I haven't done much off contract trading so I'm not necessarily the best one to ask.
Honestly I would do straight up trade for an i5 maybe throw in a few bucks if any but of course this is based on opinion.

Exactly. Say it ain't so! iOS is the most locked down, boring, unchangeable thing you could image being on a phone. Flash a ROM or something. And I would only except a 5 no 4s. :thumbdown:

If you're bored with the S3, time to start flashing ROMs. CM is a lot different experience, so is AOSP/AOKP.
To me, going to an iWhatever is a downgrade.

Is trading a Tmobile galaxy s2 for a thrill 4g plus 100$ is that a good deal? is it worth it?
I say no. If your on tnobile and you by that then ur gon be on edge. Plus I heard the 3D ggives people headaches and onr guy threw up. And the user interface is pretty bad and the cameras as well aren't as good as our phone is. And I would think he should give another 200 instead. The phones lack of 4G, user intrface is rubbish, and the 3d giving people headaches is unacceptable.

Are you looking to get rid of your phone or something?
IF the iphone is in min condition AND it is factory unlocked or Jail Broken and Unlocked via Ultrasn0w then it might be worth it.
Okay please ignore if you are not interested. I already have a thread in the marketplace and have tried many other times. I am wondering if anyone here with a gsm gnex is willing to do a straight trade for a white unlocked sgs 2 for Tmobile. I have extra stock accesories which include extra battery , mhl adapter, and hdmi cable. I know its a long shot but just casting my net. Ive had it for a few Weeks and still have box. Anyways, please pm me. No I wont do trade plus cash. Oh and I dont care for your extras, just want the phone, USB cables and charger and possibly the box. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Good luck with that. The SGSII isn't worth what the GNex is. Bottom line.
They're better off selling their GNex and buying a SGSII and pocketing $100.
Guess you might find someone willing to do it with no hassle but they'd have to be willing to take a loss.
So aside from the OS difference , lack of sd card slot, and similar specs, the gnex is somehow worth more?

You have to import the GNexus whereas the SGS2 can be gotten just about anywhere. Supply vs demand.

Fair enough you prefer the SG2, I prefer many aspects of it over the Gnex as well. But it came out 6 months after the Galaxy S2 so obviously it's going to cost more.

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

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.

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.

I don't particularly like Apple. I guess it's not the company so much as the people that use their products. Some people, you can just look at, and you know they have an iPhone. I still recommend iPhones to people who are not very tech savvy and just want the phone to make calls and play Angry Birds. Android is your playground. What's the point if you're just going to stand at the door the whole time?

Like im currently using the HTC One S, i dont hate apple but dont love it either, i just want to know if the trade is worth it, leaving the fact if you hate apple or android do you think its worth it?
Well, it is a little hard not to be biased, but a couple of deal breakers for me when I was originally thinking about staying with HTC was the lack of expandable storage and no removable/replaceable battery. To me it's a no brainer on that one and given the option I will never buy a phone like that. They seemed to be trying hard to win iPhone users by being like the iPhone!
Aside from that, I don't remember much about the iPhone specs. But I can say this is one of the greatest devices I've ever owned, and I would never trade it for an iPhone. The vast majority of S3 owners will tell you the same and that they have no regrets on it.
Lastly, this phone is just plain fun from an xda or dev standpoint.
Hope that helps a little better than my first post!
