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.

Best Place to Buy Nexus One AT&T

I've been looking for an AT&T Nexus One for weeks now. Is there anywhere to buy them brand new in box other than ebay?

craigslist

Ebay and Craigslist... good luck

Google discontinued the at&t model nexus one, the only place to officially purchase it was through the Google web store which was taken down at the same time. Because of this the at&t nexus one is going to be extremely difficult to get, let alone brand new as there are no official channels for it.

So there are no places that any of you know of that will have any left in stock?

I think it was mentioned above, but no other place stocked them other than Google itself. Since you can't get it from them anymore the only place you might get one that is unopened is if someone bought a bunch of them and is selling them on Ebay or Craigslist. However, you can get a used one in pretty much pristine condition for around 325 dollars now days.

Do what I did, But a Tmobile Nexus, Call HTC, say youre switching to ATT and would like to switch phones. You send them the TMO nexus, and they will send you an ATT nexus. And my tmo nexus was all mesed up to, lots of nicks and blemishes, and i got a PRISTINE condition ATT nexus.

I'll sell you mine. Used for about 1 week now, no scratches. Interested? Give me an offer!

Wow, I had no idea HTC did that, wish I had known that a month ago. Oh well I managed to pick up an ATT Nexus One today for $220. It's pretty beat up but I plan on fixing it myself. Everyone ATT Nexus one I've seen on eBay goes for $400 plus...

I'm selling two, both in near perfect condition, AMOLED screens, unless HTC will swap them out for T-Mobile versions also. I just switched back to pink jesus yesterday myself.

Theres no way i would sell my n1, not only is it still top notch an perfect for root users but it becoming a collectors item

I picked up my ATT Nexus One a week ago on Craigslist. I got it from a guy who worked as an intern at Google, but didn't want to keep the phone. He just got around to selling it last week. I paid $410.

You can visit this page http://developer.android.com/index.html, register as a dev developer and pay the fee, then you can buy a new one from google directly...I think it cost about US$530

Phone itself is $530 and there's a $30 registration fee if you're not already a developer. That, and you're almost sure to get a Nexus with an SLCD screen instead of AMOLED, unfortunately.

Call them up, tell them it wont read sim cards or something, and that you would like to do a switch. they send you a new nexus, and you send them youre old one. Bam, you just got a brand new nexus for $220

Where to get a new T-mobile Vibrant the cheapest?

Hey all,
So I have been a proud owner of a Vibrant for half a year now. Bought mine from T-mobile stores a week after launch offcontract for $500 and have been really happy with it. On 2.2 Nero V2 now.
Anyway, a family member wants the same phone now since they've tinkered with mine and love it. Where can I find a brand new Vibrant off contract the cheapest?
I'm assuming after half a year, the phone should be cheaper than the $500 I bought it new but I'm not finding any place really which has it cheaper than that. Anyone can help?

Last time I looked I saw some on ebay for around the ~$300 range. So you should be able to find some there around that price. Maybe even some cheaper if you don't care if they are used / refurbs.

Well I do. I prefer a boxed one.

Double post.

You can still find boxed ones for around the 300 range just take a look. I saw some in the lower 300's like 325 or so.

Where... would that be?

purchased my vibrant for about $160 with box and all off craigslist. Rooted it and unlocked it for my carrier

just bought one off Craigslist..... (hopefully you are near a metro area) 260.00
Typically here in n.cal 250 is the low side and anything above 285 you can get all day every day......

I bought mine off ebay $250 with free shipping. Granted I checked everyday for half a month for it.
Had to root and unlock it myself though.

[Q] How much for a mytouch 4g?

Ok so here is whats going on..
I live in Toronto and is using mobilicity(same frequency as T-mobile)
I currently have the mytouch 3g slide, i got it off the flee market.
I loved the phone so much and i have been reading about the mytouch 4g that i want to upgrade.
Now my question is where is the cheapest place to get a Brand New mytouch 4g unlocked?
I know T-mobile sometimes unlocks their phones for free but my question with them is that on their site i cant get the phone without a contract.
I am willing to drive to buffalo to an actual T-mobile store but what is their price on the phone with no contract?
Thanks in advance

Well that depends if you want new then I recommend buying from TMobile as you will have remorse and warranty without contract for 450+tax total 480 or so. Using website you can't order it as you have to call it in and order it via phone or go in to the local store. Now if you want to buy new or mint like conditions for cheaper price then try Craigslist or eBay which is selling for $350-400. You have higher chance of getting washed out display which you will have issues now if you don't care about it then just buy it. Far as unlocking goes you can do radio s=off yourself and sim unlock it.

I got mine for 350 on cl new in case right after I returned the Nexus S to Best Buy.
Best phone yet hands down.

Well 350 is the avg price but the thing is what will you do when you get bad display?

Thanks a lot guys for clearing that up a bit for me.
I think i might go with buying a brand new one,
I'm the kind of guy who likes to have things from the start and since i don't see myself getting another phone for a while i think it will be better off to get it new

Cl for $250 new from a tmobile rep, was unopened when I purchased it. May try a costco or sams, im looking into a two year contract and can get another mytouch 4g, or g2 for 99
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I've had a couple of chances to buy them off CL in barely used condition for $250ish, but average price seems to be about $300.

Ive looked in Craiglist around my area and the cheapest I've found was 400, i dont want to order from ebay because my visa is currently over due
for 400 i think id rather just buy it from T-mobile.
But once again thanks for tips and your thoughts

Shop more carefully. Post a WANT AD instead and you'll get lower prices. Worked for me. But then again I live in the SF Bay Area where CL was born, so there's a lot of action.
Check this one out - this one is within driving distance of me.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mob/2148760594.html

The best thing I like about CL is the false advertisement to lure folks in each threads by the seller. How they claim its new then when you go inside you see its used lol it can't be new (NIB) but its used morons. Don't waste your time with CL with 1st batch still out in large go pay the full price if money is not object for you or get it via EIP though tmobile I am guessing they have like 30-35 smaller payments.
Now I wouldn't mind buying it of CL year later but not even at that price as most idiots do want 350 for device that should be 150 due to time but they want the price they bought it for lol you have to love people who has 0 to no experience in sale department.

If you do your due diligence as a buyer and inspect the product it's fine. Just like buying a used car.
I bought a mt3g on CL for $200 and sold it on CL 9 months later with accessories for $200. Then a couple weeks later I picked up my gf's Captivate for $200 and in a year I'll probably sell it for $250.
I'm a perfectly straightforward and honest buyer and seller. Post a want ad to buy then post a sale ad to sell. This isn't rocket science.

lol I actually completely agree with this. Just two months ago I wanted to buy a N1 and people wanted $350-$400 for them. I even had to prove to one guy that they were $529 at full retail not even a year ago. SMH...

Its not that i dont shop carfully.
I live in Toronto, theres probably only a few people selling around here and they want 400+ especially since "It's not out in Canada".
When i check buffalo and that area there are only a few low priced phone which are used and when i tried contacting them they where already sold.

I purchased mine from them a week ago.
Mine came in an open box, but from what i have read, this happens in all stores.
New Egg is definitively not Amazon, i had lots of problems ordering mine, and customer service could not provide a simple answer. Having said that, they currently have the white version for $279, and you could see if their Masterpass offer (20% off) is still active for even more savings.

Yes. You have to go in store and have one of the workers look online and see that its indeed cheaper. Sometimes you can show them on your phone but most often they look it up themselves. Sometimes they try to say its not the same item but obviously there's only one model of the gpad. Only difference is white and black. Also they think all tablets are white due to the box only showing the white version. So you need to educate them that they need to read the sticker to see if it's black or white.

Honestly it all depends on the store. They will probably just price match the 299 price. The good thing about best buy is if you have any issues you can exchange easily. I had to exchange mine that had a dust particle under the screen.

Two days ago I had best buy match the $329 Newegg price. I am going to factory reset and return this tomorrow, then order from Newegg for $279.
Best buy will not post purchase price match with anyone other than themselves. They also won't match the coupon deal part.
While best buy has improved recently in response to online retailers putting pressure on then; they still will loose business this time with the restrictions of their policy.
It will be a pain to do this but worth $50.

I bought my LG G Pad 8.3 from Newegg when it was on sale for $250, tablet came just fine and works like a charm, no issues, have dealt with Newegg in the past and never had any issues.

I purchased mine yesterday using the 20 $ off total was about 299$. LOL I live in New Jersey so I had to pay $20 tax. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Newegg is usually fine, though they do like to re-sell returned items from time to time (especially for exchange replacements), and their return policy blows (they force you to pay shipping - about $12 - and won't ship you a new item until they receive and process the old one, which takes about a week). The one I got in the $250 sale was perfect, but the screen got borked during a screen protector installation, and the replacement seems to have faulty power/volume buttons.

Just returned the Best Buy one. That was $329 plus tax. Just ordered newegg with 3 day shipping, no tax to GA only $283.99 total.

I ordered mine yesterday as well for $283.99. As with all stores and sites, there will be some bad experiences. After reading all the positive reviews I opted to go with newegg. I paid via paypal in case there is some big problem and it's easier to dispute through them than my bank. Hopefully will get home from work on Fri. to have it waiting on me.

Back between Thanksgiving and Christmas I had Best Buy price match New Egg twice via phone. At that time they were running a post purchase guarantee but currently they (BB) only post match with themselves. The low price guarentee page on their site shows the policy. Scroll to the bottom to watch for special price match offers like I was able to get... twice.
Good luck!
