Should I get the HD now??

Should I get this lovely device now or wait for a while? my concern is the price!!!

yes as it is a good device.

wait to see new roms, now Diamond is better...or iphone

Well, waiting will bring the price low and also new ROM will be available but by that time newer devices will be available and you will impress no one.

I just ordered my from expansys. I was in the same position but I have read all of the reviews and played with it in the shop and I was really impressed. When I left the shop I wanted the phone more. Buy it either sim free or on contract which is what I did.

I second every word of this

of course u should get it now.
i got mine last week and i ****in love it. there is no phone better
lol at the guy saying the iphone and the diamond are better. especially the iphone. haha
i got mine for $790 with free shipping on ebay from a guy in miami, fl
i paid $710 cuz i had a 10% discount

I think the price is basically quite low, so I wouldn't expect it to get much lower before long.
What makes me wait a bit is I got so disappointed buying the Touch Pro when it hits the stalls, that I prefer now to wait and see more comments and ROM' improvements before going for the Touch HD.

who cares if it doesn't turn heads... as long as it turns your head it will be fine. read around on what the phone can actually do and see if it still excites you. remember you get what you pay for... i love the phone so far. great screen and the fact that I can customize every little detail to my personal liking is a plus.

thank you everyone i will proceed with my order now

Wtf Nexus one worth 270 dollars?

So, I just sold my baby to my mom because I am leaving for the Navy in January. I'm still using the phone until I leave, but I sold it for a cool 150. I thought it was a fair price. However, I just came across this site called buymytronics and their site says the phone is worth $270! I checked the price on both the HTC HD2 and the 16 GB Iphone 3G, both only fetch about 120 in flawless condition.
I know Nexus's(Nexi?) are sort of a collector's item now that they are discontinued and only around 130,000 sold in the US(Pcworld article is my source). I just thought it as kinda interesting that some random site is willing to pay 270 for a phone when others of similar spec and much more popular are going for less than half of that. I almost want to contact the people that the site and ask WTF is up with that.
Oh, well I guess we can all revile in the fact that we have the the phone with the best resale value on the market However, if you are looking to upgrade, that Nexus S looks pretty sick, now might be the time to sell it to this stupid site.
Btw, I know multiple people who have sold electronics on this site, so it's not some cheetos covered nerd in his basement BSing all of us.

Which version was it..T-Mobile or ATT? You can still get the Tmo version by being a developer I'm pretty sure. Not sure where you can still get a New N1 with ATT bands though. That may increase its value?

I had to hunt down my 3 N1s I recently got and spent around $350 each and thats considered a great price. Mine were in brand new condition, with no scratch or mark anywhere. 1 of them has some dust on the bottom of the screen. Ebay sellers with good feedback get $380+ on mint condition tmo n1s, $400+ for att versions.

I sold mine last week for $500 AUD ($502.25 USD) and was the T-mobile model.
Not bad considering I paid $600 AUD for it 6 months ago. They are holding their dollar value really well in Australia.

i bought mine off someone on CL locally about 3 weeks ago for 300 with the box and all accessories, it was in good condition but had been dropped once and has a few dings from the fall as well as a small scratch on the screen. it was a screaming deal for sure. most people want at least 350 if not more. most t-mobile ones on ebay sell for around 400 and broken ones will sell for anywhere from 100-200+ dollars (i know i bought and resold a broken one hoping to fix it but ended up finding the one i got now for 300)

It doesn't specify which carrier it is. It just pops up the HTC Google Nexus One. I tried searching for a T-Mobile Nexus One no luck same listing.

That's crazy. Mine is in mint condition. I have never dropped it on a hard surface; carpeted only and that was only a couple of times. I guess my mom got a killer deal. I told her she needs to take care of it. If Nexus phones keep value you never know I might make money off of it one day. I will probably buy it back from my mom once I get back from RTC because I will have a ton a money and nothing to do with it.

i just paid $400 on ebay for my att n1, mint condition with CM6.0 and root already loaded up... i considered that a great deal, since i had been seeing plenty of att n1's goin for $450-500.
these are great phones, and that guy got a steal even for a tmob version.

Never sell your nexus one. It was the beginning of an era. It belongs in a museum.

I am just wondering wht you would call it a "stupid site" seems to me it is a site that knows what it is doing!

haha this thread is pretty interesting. Idk how much my rooted running CM6 would cost. been dropped a few time and there is one small scratch on the bottom. overall it's great though. especially i take care of the screen even though the multi-touch is crappy as hell but just a small problem. I paid $30 for a piece of sticky plastic made by zigg to cover it. but all the deals you guys been saying would probably be half of my nexus two. only if the nexus two will rock my face like my baby N1 did. otherwise I'm keeping it.

oh yeah thumbs up for the Google Museum

The funny thing is it is a stupid site. They will pay me a whole 47 or something odd dollars for my mint condition Nook. I freaking paid 185 for that new. I paid 550 for my Nexus and they will give me half that. Roughly, they are willing to pay 20 percent more on the dollar for my Nexus than my Nook even though the Nook is in better shape and has less wear. Also, the suckers that out right bought an Iphone, or even signed a two year contract, get only 120 for their phone. I just wish I had more obscure tech than this site is willing to buy for top dollar.
I like the idea of a Google museum. I had a G1, one of my brother's friends has a Cliq, my old boss has a MT3G. Most of those are antiques by now. I say we start tomorrow lol

Hell, I needed the money. I sell all my old tech to my family. I figure I can keep tabs on my family's tech needs better if I already know how to run it all. I'm the only tech savvy one in a family of 12, so there is a lot to do. So, I cut operating costs, opps I meant time lol, by letting them use the stuff I already had fun with. My Zune 32 Gb is going to my dad, and my computer is going to my sister when I leave in January for the Navy. Now they can call me any where in the world and I will understand what the hell they are going through. Although I really wish they didn't. I'll probably running a nuclear reactor or something when my mom calls to whine about how the touch screen is going out of wack on my old phone.

Well does anyone have one that they want to sell cause I would like to buy

never sell! You can't even get the ATT version any more can you?
This is honestly the first phone I've EVER owned that is COMPLETELY scratch-less almost a year after purchase... that's taking absolutely NO special care of it either... I treat this thing like it's a set of car keys and FLAWLESS even today. That's the majority of the incentive for me hanging on to it for so long and not jumping to another phone... prior to this I was changing phones 3-4 times a year all 500+ a pop.

Why is the G2 so cheap these days?

Hi, all!
When I got my G2 a few months back, I remember it was still a pretty sought-after phone. There were a lot of posts up on the Marketplace for trades; I traded the Vibrant I had previously for one.
Then I broke it.
While searching for a replacement (I love this phone and thought it wouldn't get fixed under warranty), I was shocked to see that people are pushing these phones for low $200's, which is surprising considering that (a) it's a really quick phone, and (b) it's one of the few QWERTY phones out there right now.
Why is this? Is there a new QWERTY out there that I'm missing out on? Are dual-core phones really that much faster?

well theres two dual core qwertys one is the mytouch4g slide and the other one is the motorola droid 3 both with nice specs but not enough for me to get em

Well sorry to say yeah I'm missing the g2x speed wise but that's really all I miss and the g2 is selling cheaper on craigslist cause this phone has been out what a year more or less... 800 mhz compared to 1ghz dual core that's all people see plus mp camera difference they don't know about overclocking and if you describe it them they think you've done something really bad to the phone... With technology changing every 6 months you shouldn't be so surprised...

There's a few stores here in Canada now that the DZ will sell without contract for 169,99$. Makes for a cheap replacement to my current DZ. I got a brand new DZ in the box that hasn't been used as a backup hell... I don't even know if I'll ever need it.
But yeah the price on it has dropped in the last 7months.

Its a year old. That's damn old in the smartphone world.

Yeh, a bit of last year's tech.
Price is still going strong on ebay for the Desire Z NAM/Canadian version. US $250-300's, laws of supply and demand.

No wonder.. Those sellers on ebay are definitely making money each sale.

Figured that was it. It's just a bit tough when you have two of them and are trying to trade one for a NON-qwerty device lol.

Price dip was very fast though. Fact of the matter is that gadgets are depreciated already the moment you buy them lol

The G2 was a rather large flop - it was lambasted by the electronics media for having an 800MHz processor when the competition had a (slower) 1GHz processor and was deemed slow, chunky, and very heavy for its segment.
That, and with iPhone mania in the US anything other than an iPhone is worth almost nothing. You could say you got what you paid for though - the G2 was free quite often, and so are most android phones. To get $200 out of an off-contract G2 is actually quite impressive if you consider that an iPhone 4 is worth ~$400 used and cost $200 new.
Granted, that used iPhone will probably sell for more than that and much faster too, but,.. yea..

Where did you get the "flop" thing from? The overwhelming majority of G2 reviews (I did a ton of research) were very positive. The speed of the 800MhZ processor was praised across the board. The general consensus was that the G2 was the best QWERTY phone on the market at the time. The relative weight and z-hinge were blasted, but that's about it.
Nobody knew about this phone because T-Mobile SUCKS at marketing. I think it's one of the main reasons why they are in such trouble. Nobody even knew what a G2 was. (Just as most people are blissfully unaware of the G2X, Sensation, or any other T-Mo high-end smartphone) You are 100% right about iPhone mania though. It is the mecca of smartphones by sheer force of brilliant marketing. The actual phone matters less.

T-mobile Galaxy S2 hands-on impressions from a Vibrant user

I went to T-mobile and did a hands-on. The reviews from phone reviewers didn't quite answer my questions as a vibrant user. So I hope this helps. Plus I don't own it so I won't be justifying buyers remorse.
Bottom Line: Not worth the upgrade from a Vibrant. Especially off-contract. If you are locked into T-mobile and are upgrading anyway, it is worth it. All others should wait to see what the deal with the new Nexus phone is. You will NOT be upset with your purchase regardless though.
Screen: Huge and beautiful. Since it's not pentile, but it is larger than the Vibrant, it looks very similar. The GS2 might be SLIGHTLY less pixelated, but its not the crisp sharpness that I was hoping for.
Build Quality: What the Vibrant should've been. It's the best looking GS2 and it feels very solid. The gunmetal band is plastic as far as I can tell. It feels more solid than the Vibrant, but not nearly as much as an HTC phone. this should not be an issue whatsoever. And boy is it pretty.
Data: I live in a 42Mbps area and i speedtested about 4Mbps. The T-mobile rep said they got 8 yesterday. My vibrant got 2.6. YMMV obviously.
Speed: Quick, but with a live wallpaper and as low as 3 widgets, it started to drop in framerate. However it did NOT lag. things still load and run quickly, but not necessarily at an ideal framerate. especially the homescreen. I benched a 3200 quadrant after a memory clear. it wasn't loaded with smartbench unfortunately.
GPS: Didn't get a lock indoors of a mall (top story). 1400 meters was the closest. But I didn't get to test it outside. Grr.
Didn't get to test: Game performance, Codec Support, Sound Quality or Loudness, Camera, Camcorder, FFC.

I got my SGSII today and love it so far. The screen is beautiful, the gps worked out of the box and its fast as hell.
We'll see how I feel in a few days......
Now we just need some custom rom love
Edit: i get 13mbit/2mbit at work in minneapolis on 4G

I got my SGSII tmo too. i'm loving it XD
everything works perfectly!

im gonna have to say im loving it too!

Guys if you have both vibrant and the new SG2, please check and reply if the batteries are interchangable.

i dont think the batteries are...this one has 4 gold pins and apparently NFC built into the battery (?)...plus it looks taller.
Since I loved the Vibrant, I'm sure I'll love this phone and it's extraordinarily enticing. But to those who signed a contract with the Vibrant, 2 years isn't up yet and they would have to pay full for the phone. I didn't sign one and I paid-in-full for my Vibrant and to get the GS2, I would have to spend $530. For that, I could buy a PS3 AND Xbox 360, or a fairly nice HDTV or desktop computer, for what I consider an incremental upgrade for a phone.
It's not that I think the phone isn't worth it, its just not worth it as an upgrade from the Vibrant.

i managed to drop my vibrant in the washing machine and am looking to get a new phone starting a new 2 year contract. they didn't have the sgs2 in the store i was at today unfortunately, but i did get to mess around with the htc amaze. it seemed to be pretty dope from what i could tell from messing with it for like 5 minutes, would you guys pick the sgs 2 over the amaze? i'm a little hesitant to buy another samsung product based on the way they handled the whole gps issue on the vibrant, so i'm kind stuck here. it's either one of those or wait until they announce more details on the nexus prime... but i dont even know if that phone will come to tmobile :/

luckily there are no known issues with the SGS2 like there were for the Vibrant. Even in early reviews, the Vibrant was criticized for lag and bad GPS. It isn't the case with the SGS2, so you are good to go on that front.
As for the Nexus. It may not directly be associated with T-Mobile. However, at this point according to rumors, there should be a GSM version and it should support T-Mobile's 3G band. So the likely scenario is that you would buy the phone unlocked and then get your T-mobile account.
The issue with that is a full price phone and a full price plan. I urge everyone who wants to use T-mobile to take advantage of their off-contract pricing. That math has been done on this dozens of times, but if you buy a phone at full price and join one of their off contract plans, in two years, you will have saved hundreds of dollars. You even have the option to spread the fincancing of a [T-mobile] phone over the months. I'm sure with the nexus that you can finance with the retailer you purchased it from as well.

I just asked and checked a couple weeks ago, the previously called "loyalty program", which lets you split the hardware payment over 20 installments, is no longer available to non-contract-binding customers. Basically if you are not on contract ATM and want to utilize that financing option, you have to sign a new 2-year contract. Sux, right?

Good phone for the wife?

So we are looking in to switching from Verizon to T-Mobile, currently the wife's # is out of contract and I have been looking into phones I like the price tag of the Nexus 4 and if it where for me I'd get it no questions but it's for the wife. The only phone she has had is an iPhone 4s so I'm wondering if this would be a good replacement? I've looked at some extensive reviews and I'd say yes, but I wanted more of a long term opinion would you guys or gals have your significant other (non techy individual) use this phone?

i think that xiaomi red ice for you wife is the correct phone!
it costs around 150$ and it includes miui v5 with android 4.2.2 and they are always updating!
is a chinese brand but the quality is so good and the screen is made by AUO the same as apple!
http://www.xiaomi.es/#!xiaomi-redrice-general/c1kk2

My wife thought the phone was a little to thick for her to use with one hand comfortably. (No jokes please).
Her last 2 phones were a HTZ Rezound and a Motorola RAZR M. She said she has no idea how people use phones with bigger screens then that but then she held the HTC ONE. Well needless to say, she ended up with the HTC ONE. It felt thinner and narrower in her hand then the N4.
Could she have used the N4, yes but another one of her requirments was a good camera...
As long as the size is okay for your wife and based on her other requirements in a phone, the phone itself and the software just running stock 4.3 work perfect. With older versions of Android I would usually say you really would need to tweak it for the average user to enjoy it but 4.3 is running better then ever and can pretty much please anyone just running stock. Heck, I am running stock and don't feel the need to change right now to a custom. Only tweak I really needed was to make the Nav bar smaller and it is perfect now!

Without hesitation!!
I got one for mine and she loves it...I left it all stock, but did root it as she likes to change fonts like the weather changes...IDK why but I'm not going to ask her...Sometimes you're better off not knowing why
It took her a little getting use to the size difference. Had a 4s and an Atrix 4g.
Now she wouldn't go back. No lagging runs smooth as glass...speaking of which
If you do get her 1 I'd recommend getting a case right away as they are a slippery phone and glass front and back.
AS for the camera not being outstanding...it's a phone 1st and foremost, and takes some decent pics with a little tweaking.
There is a thread showing off some pics in the general section...Link Here
The price vs performance ratio can't be matched right now.
No contract crap, updates before any other phones, you own a quad core phone outright for a couple hundred $$.
Deal!!
Good Luck!!

I swear to God that when I read your post I read: "Good phone OR wife" hahahahahaha
That happens to a lot of people in here... including myself... if we get a good phone, we may lose our wives! hahahahahaha

Like mentioned by one of the previous users, Android 4.3 has come a long ways. For the first time, I am actually running the stock ROM (with root and a few modifications). For the average consumer, the N4 is a very viable option, ESPECIALLY at the current price of 199/249.
Size could be a concern and the HTC One is definitely a better design for folks who have small hands, but I think the N4 is by no means uncomfortable. Having come from a HTC Sensation and Galaxy Nexus, the phone feels better in my hands than either of the two previous devices.

8gb are gone now, only 16gb($249) is currently available. Just ordered one saturday and shipped today. Hopefully im not disappointed when i get it

There is definitley nothing to be dissapointed with! Coming from an S3 I don't miss it at all. With the wife having an HTC ONE, it is a great device for her but I would personally take an N4 any day.
Stock Android with quick updates just cannot be beat! Also, I do not even understand why they made this phone in an 8GB version. Talk about limiting a device and what you can do with it. What is there like 4-5GB of usable space when it is all said and done.
Good thing for people buying one today that there are no 8GB ones left. You will be happier with the 16GB which is still kind of pushing the low end size of memory but is at least somewhat do-able.

Thanks for the insight.. and yeah i love the phone overall, based on the reviews, videos, pictures online. The only thing that can really disappoint me are the negative things i keep reading online, major issues with it. Some on top of my head are: "Sleep of death", "Reception really bad", "call buz", "battery Leaking" "Red light of death" all of those make me not want the phone LOL. I know this does not mean ALL devices come with these problems, just saying I would hate to recieve a Lemon Lol

Well it looks like we might have to put the switch on hold her car is acting up and I fear it will need a transmission.. I did the math and if I buy out of our Verizon contract for the other 2 lines we would end up saving around $250 in the first 15 months that's after paying $450 to end the contract. And that's with getting 3 new phones on tmoble. Might just get a G2.

If your wife's contract has ended can't you just unlock the iphone? It would save money, even though I hate iphones

Doesn't work. While you can unlock the iPhone 4s from other carriers you can not from Verizon, unlocking a verizon phone only let's it work international nor on local networks. Unless I missed something bc I'd be all over that if someone has info I don't.
