[Q] worth buying for $150 - myTouch 3G, Magic General

i like to know

Which version of the htc magic are you buying? If you're buying the t-mobile versions such as the mytouch 3g fender edition then possibly it's worth it because they only made so many of those and possibly the mytouch 3g 1.2 could be worth that price too. As for the other ones I'm not sure.

the original mytouch is worth about 100
the fender is not going to be collectors item or anything, so maybe 120
the 1.2, it has a 3.5 jack and 288mb of RAM so I'd say the mytouch 1.2 is most worthy and these prices are in very good condition....
either way I would just save the money for 300 go get a nexus one if you shop well enough you will find one on craigslist/ebay...

I was under the assumption that the fender had as much RAM as the 1.2 but I guess not. But yeah I would suggest saving up a bit more and trying to buy a better phone such as the nexus one. Pretty soon the mytouch 3g 1.2 will be just like the g1 is now, which is considered a very low end phone.

thank you guys for your suggestions

Fender edition RAM

The Mytouch 3g does have the increased ram 130Mb free showing in taskiller. If you are wanting to run a hero rom that should help.
I know it was rumored but I just got hands on with one. No other big surprises, it is basically a htc saphire with a 3.5 headset jack.
Do they still sell it at tmobile though?
Goes on sale 1/20
The fender edition mytouch goes on sale january 20th. My store just got our demo unit in stock today, so I could check it out. Basicaly what it sounded like, a mytouch with more ram, 3.5 headset jack, 16GB memory card, and some music apps installed.

Oh i thought they already released it, silly me.
I think it's the 32a under the hood.
Yep, 32a
Yes they are 32a like the rumors, just wanted to post verification.

Thinking of upgrading...

Hello all,
I bought a Rogers HTC Dream a couple of weeks back but stupidly performed the E911 update. The whole thing has me pretty bitter knowing that I can't get anything past Android 1.5 on there (for now) and I was thinking of selling it while I can still get a decent price. What would you recommend if I were to upgrade without paying too much of a premium. Here's what I have so far:
1. Stick with the Dream, wait for exploit to root/flash new roms
2. HTC Magic - newer Android, but still Rogers (they blow), and no QWERTY
3. LG Eve- QWERTY, but resistive screen and unknown build quality
Ideally, I'd want to stick with Android as I love the OS, but would also like a QWERTY if possible. Milestone is a bit out of my price range. Any suggestions?
Cheers
The G1 without Rogers. nuff said lol
Haha I was thinking of that as well. I was also weighing up selling both the Dream and my 32GB Zune HD which could fetch a pretty penny up here in the Great White North and getting the Milestone....hmmmmm
This is why we buy the T-Mobile G1 and use the rogers sim card =) Pretty sure the Rogers G1 was only out there to attract kids with the keyboard

buying a mt3g

please tell me your offers!!
need it fast!!
you might want to put this under the marketplace
ebay or craigslist... and dont get a mytouch 3g, buy a 32A phone, such as Rogers Magic, faster cpu and more ram...
I was searching on ebay but Rogers phone (32A) are too expensive, hoped I could get an used one from you guys, don't have that much cash on me ...

[Q] Buy another HD2 or SENSATION time?

Hi all. I'm asking for the expert opinion of all the xda ogs. I bought an HD2 about 5 months ago off ebay for almost full price. And now it won't start (I tried everything). Sent it to htc repair center in Texas.
Now my question is: If it costs more than 150 to repair the phone, I'll probably just buy a new one instead of repairing it to have better peace of mind. Should I get another HD2, this time brand new from amazon for 299, or should I get an HTC sensation for abouit 540?
I really don't see myself using the dual core cpu that much, but the higher megapixel camera would be much more badass, and I do take alot of pictures.
Any productive opinions are welcome.
You say your HD2 will not start, so did it just start this or were you flashing something and it did this after the flash? If so what were you flashing? I ask this cause it sounds like you have bricked your HD2 and that is fixable for a third of the 150 dollars you suggested.
Now as for your Sensation question I don't really have any advice for you as I am currently wrestling with what device to upgrade too myself. And the Sensation is like one of the top devices I am looking at.

I have the same question...my HD2 is also gone for repair and I was thinking of selling it..once I get it back...but the problem is HD2 still allows you to do so much...there is no other phone like it quite yet...there is also possibility of DFT still releasing new version of MAGLDR for wp7 mango which you never know, it maybe good enough for daily driver...
I'm in same dilema...still not decided though
However, instead of sensation I was thinking of buying TMO G2X (LG optimus 2x)...You can get a new one for ~ $350-400 on eBay compared to sensation which is almost $500-600 now...
Compared to sensation it has better camera and no death grip issues, while you lose out on High res screen and Sense UI (which is quite good in its 3rd installment but i think I can manage with cm7, as I was using that on my hd2)
blah, seems like the Sensation has way too many issues right now. I wouldn't be able to stand having dust underneath my screen. Or death grip.
At 299 right now, the HD2 seems like the best value. 4.3 inch screen, and I could flash a new rom every week if I wanted.
What I really want is the samsung S2 of course, but it's still almost 700 on amazon.
I just wish they had another phone for about 300 with a bigger screen (I prefer 5 inch lol) and a better camera.
Best advice of all is to wait if I can. Prices will drop quickly, and maybe the next batch of sensations will be better built.
I'm due an upgrade next month (or if O2 won't match/beat Vodafone's tarriffs it'll be in 4 months when I jump ship) and so far the Sensation is the only thing that appeals to me.
Tried one out in CPWH yesterday and was impressed, no lag, no stutters.
That's a UK based version though, and from what people say about the phones over in the US, your carriers add a load of bloat that can affect performance.
My HD2 will go to my fiancee to replace my old HD.
I will miss the ability to make calls without having to go to the home screen, but I'll get used to it.

HTC Sensations and LG 2X have already sold in Jakarta.
Next week, 23 July, Samsung will launch Galaxy S2 at Pacific Place, Jakarta, with the special price starting from Rp4.1 Mio (USD 500 - 600)
I think it is reasonable price, considering the specs
I remember that I bought HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) at Rp10.5 mio (USD1.100) when it was launched
I heard that Sensation has a death grip issue. So, You might consider waiting till the price of Galaxy S2 drop
Cheers
If you still want to stay with HTC and don't mind a single-core phone, there's always the Desire HD. Same sized screen, but more RAM (same as Sensation but less than SGS2) and newer generation of Snapdragon. It also has a 8MP sensor but I don't know how that compares to the one on the Sensation. It's also about $100 cheaper too. I see one right now that is actually the Inspire 4G but it is unlocked and that is like only $400. I would buy that buy I think my HD2 will last me maybe until the end of this year and then I might move on to Virgin Mobile or something and keep the HD2 as a test phone and for traveling.

Man, you can pick up hd2s for less than 200 on Craigslist... why would you spend 150 on a repair?
even sensations go for 350 max... flippin' eck...

Sensation is far superior to g2x, trust me on this, I've owned both...HD2 is still the most enjoyable experience to be had..

Pretty Rare UK Smartphones

Just saw a site that has stock of both the Nokia N9 and HTC HD2s. They're both pretty hard to find in the UK, especially for bulk buying anyway.
http://www.mobi-city.co.uk/
The HD2s are refurb units though.
I need one of those HD2s!!!
i want one, yet I have no money and no one here on XDA wants to trade sooo
