One word.... HTC must be CRAZY!
mine was offered $179
GSM is getting 170'
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Smh...regardless I can get $250-$300 on Craigslist.. I know I know ..duh. But not everyone will know that.
Why would HTC pay you market value for a phone when they make phones? The guy on craigslist who would buy your phone doesnt have millions of phones at their disposal.
With that in mind, its a generous offer.

haha you can never win with those guys!
This would be worthwhile for someone who doesn't want to deal with people on craigslist. I can see why some would not. I don't have time to answer 50 emails all asking if I'll take $150 for my immaculate-condition phone that is worth much more.
Luckily I can ask my wife to handle it usually but not everyone can.

Really don't understand that's not a bad price. Unless you thought HTC was going to buy a old used phone for five hundred then sell it for six hundred. That would never work

CDMA phones for you. Lose value so much quicker. My GSM was $175 offered from HTC.
That is a solid price. GSM won't fetch much more than $200 since you can get a new one for $350

Hey, I was wondering, what does HTC do with the phones they get from the trade in program? How do they benefit?
Sent from my DROID RAZR
that is a fair price. I wouldn't pay more than 175 on cl for a gsm or cdma. nexus has never retained value. People seem to want them more when they are older because of os updates.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
For what it's worth, my GSM GNex will get me $170. My brand new HTC One X (AT&T)? $175 lol
Best Buy Trade-In is offering $356 for an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus in mint condition. Since mine hasn't been seeing much use lately (the GS3 is taking up most of my time), I'm considering taking advantage of this.

So after 6 years of being on my mother's cell plan I'm getting the boot. I have a decision to make now. In 3 weeks or so I'll be moving to Verizon and I'm having a problem making a decision on what phone to get. I'd like to get some pov from the community.
1. I could get the S3 but I don't see a big difference from my t989. It's just my opinion. I'm not to impressed with the S3. To me it just seems like an extra gig of RAM and that's it.
2. I could get a Galaxy nexus and save some money. Save some money till something more impressive than the S3 comes out.
What do you guys think? If I'm wrong I'd love to be told.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
The difference in money is not worth jumping to S3 from S2.
Nexus is good, but no memory expansion....so I'll pass on it.
I would wait for Galaxy Note 2.....Now THAT I will buy too, even
if I love my S2....
Just my 2 (billion) cents here...lol...

When talking on the phone (Note), use a small bluetooth.
And when you do something else on it, yes it will draw
a lot of attention...just remember...they are ALL JEALOUS of you!!!
So, it will be a "good" attention!
:good:
Try considering a prepaid plan w/ the use of google voice and VOIP program. I've heard it saves quite a bit of money.
And if you do end up going to Verizon, buy a Note2 and sell it. It'll probably sell pretty darn high if it's unopened.

I like that plan. With that money I could get something that's impressive at the time and extra to play around.

I would wait for the Galaxy Note 2. If you don't mind being on a GSM carrier, than I might also wait for the LG Optimus Nexus. Some of the leaked specs for it include a 1.5 GHz Quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, 2 GB RAM, a 4.7 HD display, 8 mpix camera, etc. The best part is that the 8 GB model will retail for 299$ and the 16 GB will retail for 349$.

I woke up to an email from http://lastcall.dailysteals.com/ and saw the International Note 2 for $580 plus $5 shipping. I remembered I had a $150 paypal balance, which brought the Note down to $435.
I am on AT&T so I will miss the LTE speeds, but I think thats a small price to pay when I saved over $200.
Bye bye iPhone 5

Save $200 where? The ATT note 2 is $650 outright. And I know you had PayPal balance but you could have easily had someone buy a note 2 outright from ATT and then you could have paid them through PayPal, using that balance and paying them the rest. You would have paid 70 more for lte

That's too much work for LTE. Not to mention I send 90% of my time on wifi anyway.
Any of you guys having second thoughts on your purchase with the nexus 4 news? I already pre ordered the note and never really thought about the nexus till now.
Nope... I want the larger screen and the expandable storage.
i bought s3 for 49 2yr, sold for 500, bought note 2 for 200 2 yr..my work phone will be another note 2 (free, thanks att), i'll sell my purchased note 2 for 650 and get lg nexus 4.
so ...450-200+650-350= note 2+nexus 4 and 550 cash. not bad :d

Which one do you think your are going I enjoy more. I'm not crazy into modding so the small dev support on the note 2 isn't an issue for me. I like then note because I feel it would go great with school.

i have never used a nexus phone so seeing latest updates interests me; the design of the lg, especially the back, looks nice. i like the lte, spen, and larger screen for the note 2 though.

I wouldn't consider the PayPal balance as a discount on your phone, with 3 clicks you could of had that balance transferred to your bank account for free.

I have a mint note and I was offered a brand new note 2 for my note and $200. I know this has been asked to death, but I primarily want to hear from note 2 owners who upgraded from the original note. I figure $300 is the going rate for a note in my condition, and since I'm not due for an upgrade for another year this is my best shot at getting a note 2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Yes do it. I went from note 1 to 2 and it really is an upgrade. Once you learn the ins ands outs its a helluva better phone. Not to mention battery life ive never had a smartphone come close to the life this thing gets. Anyway im not gonna get into all the reasons u should get it cuz you can read that all over the forums. Just get the phone then u can report back that I was right

IPhone 5 because it will continue to receive support and updates from apple for another 2-3 years, the note 2 will become forgotten about when the note 3 comes out

I would also recommend the note 2 but make sure you put your sim in there first to make sure they havent filed an insurance claim.
I would also call tmobile to inform them that you are getting the phone frombthe registered account holder so that once you leave they dont call and claim it was lost or stolen.
This happens all the time especially with craigslist transactions.
Guy sells/trades phone, calls tmobile pays $175 for insurance, gets new phone, buyer gets stuck with a bad imei.
Just a heads up

What he said ^^ with the new installment plans if the guys doesnt pay off the phone you will be stuck in a worse situation than u are now. Get the imei and call tmo make sure its paid off
As far as note 2 vs iphone 5... you may want to consider size... I tried the note 2 and gave up after a few months is its definately a niche device... the size of the iphone is way more realistic, but if you're like me and must have android then get the note, if money is an issue im sure you wont have a problem getting an s3 plus 125

IPhone will continue to receive support from apple, like software updates. The screen may be small and iOS may seem dull but give it a shot. The iPhone plus 150 cash is a great deal. 4g lte won't work
