I love my n1

Just bought my first nexus one tonight for 200 and I have to say this is the most amazing phone I have ever used. I am coming from a dream and this thing leaves it in the dust big time. Can't wait to root it! Sorry you guys can imagine how happy I am

I upgraded 2 weeks ago also from a g1. Debated back and forth over a sgs or the n1 for a long time. My only regret is not buying both docks

Yeah where did you buy it so cheap, even if it is a refurbished or used unit?

I still love my nexus like the first day I bought it by far the best phone!

Why'd you pay so much, I only paid $150 for mine... with a dock. LOL

Awesome, I got mine from Craigslist too... guy was asking $500; I offered him a brand new (still in the package) 16gb iPhone 3GS for it and he accepted. I went to the AT&T store, renewed my contract, paid $199 for the iPhone and he met me in the parking lot to swap.
A few days later AT&T announced that they were dropping the price of the 3GS and offered everyone a price match credit, I went to the store and claimed my $50 credit, thus making my N1 cost $149 + 2yr contract...

Sweet! Thats a good deal
I had a in package 3gs one time but it was running ios 4 already so no jail breaking but i sold that sucker to buy 2 g1's and $300 cash in my pocket.
I use Simple mobile which is an MVNO of t mobile. $60 no contract gives me unlimited talk, text, web, mms and it supports 3g . The N1 flies on the network

I really don't mind the contract... I have 5 lines and have been with AT&T for over 6 years... another 2 won't hurt.

not if it was purchased at a corporate store. 30 days no questions asked. if i remember the only catch to that is their is a certain min and data limit you couldnt have exceeded

How much for one without a contract? I always need extras.

new from store... 499 at sprint... that doesnt go down... or 699 at radio shack like they said above lol.

Do anyone know how long this offer is for? My wife got an optimus last week and its been having problems. So I'm thinking about getting her one of these Epics.
I'm just hoping sprint don't charge me a restocking fee. After all the optimus isn't working correctly. People on the other end of the phone can't hear her.

I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.
Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.

I still have (and still using) my TouchPro2. (due for a upgrade for a long time)
This looks like a good deal! but what are the chances of a new EPIC2 or a better QWERTY smartphone coming out very soon?!

Yes. The guy at my local radio shack was pushing me towards an Evo. Boo! he said there was no other phone in its class. I said what about the epic? And he just kinda scoffed and said it was a decent phone.

we have 3 lines rt. now. one for my son, my wife, and myself.
If I wanted to get my wife an epic for this deal, (she currently has the transform) and we're not eligible for an upgrade, how 'could' we go about it ?? I don't believe there is a way without committing to a 4th line, rt ?
just cuious how some of you would accomplish this.

It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.
Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.

Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.

Confirmed. I just got the email too.

Got my email too just wondering it says 200$ with a two year contract , how much for the retail price ? Best buy has it for 699$ and they always put their phone expensive like that, ( EVO 599$ last year when I got it 499 $ at a Sprint store)

My impulsiveness has me wanting to try a new phone, but the other side is very leery of samsung. I've said this many times before like everyone else. Readng the problems people are running into makes me think twice about it. It really is a damn shame that this nexus wasn't as impressive, hardware wise, than the original nexus. Dumping 500 into a new phone that is basically an epic minus the keyboard, with stock android. Damn I hate that I'm so impulsive!
Yeah I got the email also.

I just switched from sprint to t mobile and got a Nexus. I don't miss my Evo one bit. This phone puts my Evo to shame. In terms of speed, performance, and aesthetics. It feels like a much nicer higher-quality device. If I was still on Sprint I would be getting the Nexus and it would be the easiest decision I ever made in my life.

I currently have a Fascinate, but we're switching to Sprint soon, and even though better devices are coming, I'd love a Nexus S 4G, mostly for the stock experience and updates. My only concern is the dev community. Would it be easy to port ROMs from the Nexus S to the NS4G? If so, it's what I'm getting.

Well whoever you are I'm pretty sure you're wrong
$399 is the two year contract price as it clearly states in your copypasta. (You also get an "instant rebate" of $200, for a total of $199).
The "off-contract" price will almost certainly be $549.

You people are crazy if you think Sprint is going to sell this phone for $399 off contract. Not a chance.

As of now, off contract prices are:
Epic $499.99
EVO $449.99
Shift $399.99
I would guess off contract is $399.99. You have to remember this is a niche phone. There is not going to be a huge pre-sale or line out the door such as the EVO (was) or EVO3D (will be). Only devs and hackers want this phone. The average end user has no idea what AOSP or Gingerbread means lol

The EVO is almost a year old. The Epic is 7 months old. The Nexus S 4G is "new". I'd guess $549.

Best or Cheapest place to buy a new epic 4g?

My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started. I'm gonna call them to double check.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract

Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.

Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

I called a 3rd and 4th store in my area, both said that upgrades were a go. They also said that ANY working trade-in phone would qualify for the deal, doesn't matter the value. I guess I'll just have to wait until my brother and I head down there later this week.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Looked at the radioshack ad. The epic price IS $149.99 on new activation, and the $100 trade-in IS also on new activation....
....Buuuuut...went to my local radioshack store. She took my cheap $20 virgin mobile phone, and rang up the epic under my brother's line. Kept ringing up to $198 after a couple tries, then she did something with the computer and it rang up to $98 after taxes...

just annoyed since sure, it makes business sense to reserve them for new and upgrading customers. Buy if I'm buying a tmobile branded phone I am, with a 99.99% probability, going to be using the phone on their network and I'll still be using their service... Not to say I've been a tmo customer for 7 years but because I'm not a new customer or ready to extend my contract 2 years, I have to wait
