[Q] Evo for sale question...

I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.
Thanks guys/gals

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.

How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price

another vote for craigslist.org

swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Sweet...appreciate the advice. Just listed on swappa.com. Went and tested the thunderbolt today for about 20 mins. Damn that thing is quick and smooth as butter. I love my evo and I have it running top notch, but there really wasn't a comparison.

Uhhhh....what?

Can anyone talk me out of...

..buying the Galaxy S3, and instead waiting for the next Nexus?
I'm sick of waiting for a new hardware qwerty to come out (will it ever?) and my Vision is really starting to show it's age, looks and performance-wise.
So I need a new phone, like yesterday. The S3 is begging me to buy it. Can you convince me otherwise?

Sure. Just send me the $ you'd spend on the GS3 and you can't buy it. Done deal.

Have you looked into the HTC Doubleshot?
It's a great qwerty phone that I've been using for the past few months to replace my old G2
And we've been getting a good amount of dev action recently too. Check out the threads

Not available in the UK :-(

You're sick of waiting. Your Vision is starting to suck. Get the best phone right now, rather than waiting. Waiting is generally silly when it comes to tech. Sorry to not be talking you out of the S3, but it's going to blow your G2/Vision away, even without the QWERTY..
I'm thinking of doing the same, because it seems that we won't get a decent, customizable phone with a hardware keyboard in the foreseeable future..

For what it's worth, if Google goes with Samsung the next Nexus will prob be a slightly tweaked GSIII.
Don't keep looking toward the horizon, find a phone you like now (or the near future) and get it. Something better is ALWAYS coming.

I agree with Nospin pretty much. Keep your G2 for now. There aren't many phones right now that are very much comparable IMO. I've got ICS running on mine and its lightening fast. Every time I go to check out the new phones I can't help but think mine is slightly better of just as good. So why spend the money on something new when you don't need it? Just keep flashing away until you find something that fits you, but again IMO, be like me and go with Adromadus Audacity...its a great ROM.

well I was talking about the looking toward the horizon part. Better to just stick with the G2 for now as there are all of these "better phones" out now. Wait it out until something REALLY good catches your eye, for now the G2 does what all of the new phones do if not more.

Has any found a good Privacy Screen?

I'm looking for a quality privacy screen for my s3. Any one out there have a good one or know of a good one.

Looking for 3M to release it.

I had a 3M one for my Incredible, it was PERFECT! Did exactly what I needed to, to stop nearby lookers peaking at my screen! All my friends would always comment "how are you able to look at your screen because its so dark!", and I'd show them and they'd be amazed. Sensitivity was never an issue, and the protector was very smooth, not like the other cheap brands you see on eBay and Amazon.
Def well worth it, I'm just waiting for them to release it too. I actually emailed them today asking when they'll be available for purchase. Hopefully soon. Will keep ya updated.

why diminish the screen quality with this. im sure 99.9% of the populating wouldn't give a crap what you are doing on your phone. lol..

Privacy screens are only for people who think they're important. In reality the guy/girl next to you could give 2 ****s, I don't think I've ever looked at someone using their phone besides them purposely showing me something.

In reality, some people are nosey and some people are not. Just as some people are more private then others.
Thats the whole point of privacy screens. They are not for everyone.
They may not be for you, but no reason to come off as a **** about it.
At my workplace? People are super nosey...

Optimus G pre order page is up!

Well, for the apparently small number of us that care, you can now pre order the Optimus on sprints website. I just placed an order for mine. Super happy to be ditching my Evo 3D. Now hopefully we can get some people together to crack the boot loader.
I just saw that you can get it for 149 on wire fly with a two year contract but I bought mine full price from Sprint. No contract for me.

just ordered mine from wirefly
are we supposed to be getting the phone on the 10th or 12th?
the 11th falls on a sunday

No idea...hopefully the 10th.

Sprint's site suggests that it should come before the 11th "Pre-order: Order online today! We'll charge your card for your phone and do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Sunday, November 11."
Wirefly says that they are shipping them on November 11.
I'd rather save the $50 and order from Wirefly. What's 3-4 more days when you've waited 2 years?

Where's the white one??

Ordered mine from Sprint today in hopes that I receive it on the 10th, maybe even the 9th...

If LG doesn't unlock the bootloader, will it be hard for devs to unlock it themselves? Considering that i has the same hardware as the Nexus 4.

why get this phone over the GS3 or the GN2??? just curious, the Optimus G don't even come close to the GS3/GN2..

Come close in what? It has a faster processor and arguably better screen along with being a little smaller. Probably a better camera (more mp anyway on the sprint version), more solid build quality... i feel like i'm forgetting something.

Uh yes it is. Every review compares it to the Galaxy S3 and says it is considerably faster, which you can literally see. Also, yes, I do concede that LG has made some bad phones in the past, but so did HTC before the nexus one and Samsung before the Galaxy S (the behold and moment were awful). Reviewers said this could be the rise of LG and I happen to agree. Great looking hardware, great screen, amazing processor, top of the line specs. It doesn't need gimmicky features like sbeam which require people to have the same phone (how many people do you know with an S3? If they don't have one, that feature is moot). Camera, I don't really care about, but reviewers said it is about on par with the One X and GS3. The date for JB isn't exact but they said Q4 and if I remember correctly, lg has been more accurate with their software promises than Samsung, who promised my device Gingerbread in July of last year, but didn't even roll it out until November. Smemo, who cares? And the Optimus has a very similar feature, I forget the name of it, but they've shown how in many situations, like in a call, you can press a button and write down a phone number or address for example. Multitasking is more or less the same. The recent apps UI is the same, unlike HTC's, and it also has Qslide, which is similar to pop up play, but you can adjust the transparency and opacity with a slider so you can decide which window you want to be able to see more clearly. No microsd is a bummer, but so is pentile and terrible cheap plastic build quality.

Whoever gets their tracking number first should post the date of expected delivery so the rest of us know ASAP! I feel like a kid at Christmas, but in all fairness I've grown tired of getting my Epic refurb'ed and it has become very unstable and constantly reboots itself.(Gets worse after every hard reset so no fixing it =/)

Wasn't going to get one, but then I saw the specs . . .

And now I think I might really want one. Trouble is, I have to buy all my phones unsubsidized, as I'm on a business account through my job and I'm not "important" enough to warrant a high-end Android device. So I was thinking I could sell my Shooter, 2 EVO LTEs (a white one and a black one) and an M8 to try and raise funds for it. I assume the price will be around $700, as has been the case with previous flagship devices.
Anyone know of a good place to get good prices on these devices? I'd like to defer the cost a bit if I can, otherwise I won't be able to get one until next year or later (also have to save up for an anniversary gift for my "first mate" lol). Priorities, I guess.
It seems like there's going to be a good crowd on this device so I think I'd really like to be a part of it.
Please share your suggestions so I can make this happen!
P.S. I'm still hoping to be able to build Android from my phone, but I guess that would require an Ubuntu Touch port. I wonder if that would be possible . . .

I'd think the price would be $600-$650, as that is what most flagships like the S6, G3, M8, etc. go for.

If you have craigslist, go for that. It may not be the safest but you can find fantastic deals. Or... you know, wait for the m10 to be released! who knows, in that year or later it would be out.

You're talking about the U.S. right? That's the price for most flagships. The exception being the Note 4 which I believe was $699, and the Note Edge.

I hope you get an M9 or M9 plus. I use your Beyond Stock Rom as my daily driver. I haven't updated to Android 5 yet, figure I might as well just wait till M9 is out. I have pretty Loyal to HTC. 8th HTC phone in a row I will have got most of them on release day. HTC Touch Pro, TP2, EVO 4G, EVO 3D, EVO LTE, M7, M8 & M9 or M9+

Just threw you a little donation for your M9 fund. Thanks for all your hard work.

I'll probably have to pass on the m9 or won't be getting one anytime soon with grad school coming up I can't really afford it right now off contract and I'm not due for an upgrade for a while.
