Hey guys, I have decided that this handset is far too unstable for my needs. A 76% chance of the 'no sound in call' issue is too much for me.
As some of you have prolbably read, due to the whistling screen I am getting a brand new XDA2s sent to me by 02. Should arrive very soon. I am going to sell or swap it before even opening the box and try for either an XDA2i, iMate Jam or Sony Ericsson P910.
I thought, seeing as you were all so supportive and helpful I would offer this forum first shout at it before I put it on ebay. I will sell it for a slightly lower price in appreciation. If anyone has any offers of swaps or money I will consider anything.
Sorry if this is against the forum rules. If it is I will gladly retract the thread.
Cheers -Mike
ah well, shame you said today, as my bro wanted one and he just entered into a 12 month contract just to get one!!!! :roll: id have prob made you an offer!!!
Hmmm, I solved the Call silence problem by upgrading just the Radio Rom to 1.12. Never had the screen issue tho.
As for stability, Corporate Mode solves all.
Give the new one a chance.
Or pm me if still selling. :wink:
Well theres the problem, I'm not up for taking it out the box to give it a chance when the odds of a crappy screen or crappy radio hardware are so high. I'd rather just buy something I know will work.
I am defo still interested in selling. I gather you can buy an XDA2s on ebay for around £310. I'll probably sell for about £285 if anyone fancies it.
I've seen them go on eBay for £225 so good luck getting that price.
I might be interested in swapping my Brand New XDA2i for the 2s. The 2i has all the original packaging obviously and is unlocked.
Make me an offer as the 2i is worth slightly more.

Really?!?! For boxed brand new ones? I only checked what was on today and £300 seemed about average. Hmmm, perhaps I'll ebay it.
Considering the 2i offer. Thery're both the same price from the O2 shop. I know 'cos the 2s was actually an insurance replacement for my XDA2 and I had the choice of 2i or 2s.
It's a shame to sell 'cos the 2s is such a nice concept, but it all seems so rushed. From what I read on these forums, changing ROMS rarely works for noticably improving stability. I really don't know if I trust HTC devices now. I mean before the BA, I had an XDA2 which was a bit more stable, but if I was ever waiting for an important call I' have to swap handsets. I also had the Orange C500 and it was appauling for receiption, no sound in calls and a lack of basic phone features :S
If anyone has a Sony Ericsson UIQ device I would gladly swap.
I also have a P910i which is brand new fully boxed and unlocked. I got it on an upgrade but I havent used at all.
add me to ur MSN contacts [email protected]
so we can chat about it.
Where abouts do you come from and how would be do the swap?

As for average pricing of the BA's on Ebay ( I tracked them for over a MONTH, before purchasing both an SPV M2000 and an XDA IIs ). I'd say that the prices have gone up and come down and gone back up again.
I just saw two auctions close within an hour of themselves, where someone got an MDA III for about 250 GBP, and an XDA IIs went for 311.99 GBP, so go figure. Some of the ones going for less we a year or so old, and rather used. Those have been seen for around 205-215 GBP.
So if you've got a brand NEW one, in the box, with the wrapper, I'd say START at 250GBP ( If you're not going to swap it ), and if you can get up to 300-320, you're not doing too bad.
Good luck. I haven't decided which one I'm going to sell the SPV or the XDA IIs. They're both unlocked ( Gee, I wonder where I got the software to unlock them....Hmmm )

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.
What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread
For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

what about meeting the seller at a tmobile store and having tmobile activate it right there and there could they block it after wards?

Here's the link to an earlier thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957825
+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.
I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy

U didnt mention its 64gb lol. Tought it was 16
I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
on PAYG it costs more than a s3.
on contract it costs either equal to the s4 or MORE than the s4 depending on the provider.
When I rang vodafone to query why they charge more for the s4 mini than the s4 they said due to demand.
Is a shame this phone doesnt have mhl out, otherwise it would be a beast. As I see it kept a fm radio which the full s4 doesnt have.
Do other countries have it cost more than the s3 (and s4)?
Not here in Singapore! I don't know any other S4 Mini users around here actually. :/
350€ in Germany. Quiet similar to a s3.
I got mine I9192 off UK eBay for £285

I got a GT-I9195 from UK eBay for £300, you just need to shop around.
Here in Sweden S4 mini and S3 are pretty much on par with ~375€ / ~$500 in the established shops.
However the s4 mini was much more expensive at the release date and the price dropped approx 25% in one month! I really noticed the heavy price drop. Possibly an intended strategy from Samsung.
Here in the UK the cheapest I've seen from a trustworthy provider is £21 pm..Cheapest I've seen from the internet is 16.23pm on dialaphone. Not sure if I should go for the dialaphone one as it has mixed reviews :/ If anyone has ordered from there before please tell me if they're dodgy, thanks!
Hmm I thought this phone would be a lot cheaper in UK. Here in Sweden you get it for £9 / 24 months with contract. If you buy it cash it costs £235.
Gernany Hamburg, 429€ in July
and i think it is worth.
/€: s4mini LTE i9195

yeah thats under half price on contract. your price seems more realistic, here in the uk I think they alter pricing on popularity, if something sells well then regardless of spec and cost pricing is pumped up. here in the uk the s3 mini and s4 mini phones are extremely popular outselling the flagships.
Just bought mine from Facebook for sale, free or wanted for £250. Did have Xperia Z before and prefer this phone.

i did't want to open a new thread so i'll ask here...
I'm from Croatia and i think we will not get the DUAL SIM version here. We recently joined the EU so if i buy it anywhere from Europe, it will be tax free.
My only condition is that it's dual sim and that it's unlocked for all networks.
Could you advise from where can i order it online for the best price?

Ebay UK, it costs about £270-280
Got it for 400 Euro.
Carphone Warehose £329.
I bought mine from there, I like to be able to walk into a local shop if i have any issues, and will pay a bit extra for that. I think, when considering the price, that it's worth remembering that this is a really well performing LTE enabled phone. I think it's worth every penny. I also have an HTC One, and it easily feels as snappy day to day as my One, just not as big and heavy.
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!
