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.

Pricing between stores

So the epic 4g has finally been announced - august 31 for $250. Is there any chance that other retailers like best buy or radio shack will sell the phone for more like 200? It seems as though most phones are priced at 200 already. Will the epic see a drop in price anywhere?

I don't think any stores can sell it for a different price. The best you can expect is instant rebates instead of mail in at places like Best Buy and maybe a gift card like a lot of places did for the Evo and Droid X

Physical stores don't tend to sell for less. However websites do. On Amazon the captivate and vibrant were both $150 on release day, and on the 2nd day they had both hit $99.99. I could see the epid 4g going as $200 then $150 or maybe $150 then $100, it's hard to say for sure though.

It would be nice. The mail in rebates don't help offset the cost very well. You have to have the phone for 30 dats before you can submit it and then up to 12 weeks to receive it. In the mean time you have to pay $350 up front.

Radioshack just called me 2day concerning the epic. Preorders start Friday 8/13/2010 with $50 down, u get a gift card and pay the rest on the 31st. Overall price is $249. This is at the waterfront store here in Pittsburgh, pa. Thought y'all would want to know.

@ygulp does radio shack offer instant rebates??

About amazon:
how hard is it to get one ot the phones off of amazon? Do they sell out quick?
Also, do you have to go through the rebate process to get money back? This sure sounds like a great deal vs buying through sprint. My only issue is availability.

Can't comment on availability much. I have only been watching the Galaxy S phones on there, but the Captivate and Vibrant both had 0 issues with stock, I never once saw them sell out on amazon. The evo I have even seen on amazon once or twice, and I've never seen it anywhere else in stock online. The droid X is shipping in 1-2 weeks though. Popular phones get backstocked. The EPIC 4g is it hard to say whether it will be backordered or not for sure. There isn't really even a guarantee that Amazon will get it on the first day or at all.
The EVO 4G btw isn't discounted at all despite being out for so long, but other phones from sprint are, I think stock availability is likely to play a major role in pricing.

Thanks for your help and advice! Much appreciated to save a little $

newegg sells the current US galaxy phones for $50 and $100
I reserved an epic at BestBuy but I'm checking Amazon and Newegg on release day.

Hey kennethlongshaw,
How did you pre order already from best buy? I don't see any epic 4g pre order info on their site. I'll try calling one of their stores tomorrow. I would really like to purchase through best buy so I don't have to do a rebate.

How much are G2's (unlocked/no contract) are going for?

Hi XDA, I'm a current G1 owner looking to move on to the G2...I held on to the G1 for the most part b/c of the physical Keyboard...
I do have a T-Mobile account (PrePaid), so how much Unlocked/No Contract G2's are going for as of now? Haven't seen too many on CL yet.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App

Before I saw them in the high 3s maybe low 400s but news of root has slightly bumped that price up to mid 4s from what I'm seeing.

Where are you seeing those prices? Best I have seen is 540 from negri electronics.

I got it from T-Mobile for $200 down and $300 spread trough the next 19 months. And I'm on the even more + without contract.

I just ordered mine for $520 from Negri Electronics

My apologies, I was quoting eBay NIB prices. Like another user said T-Mobile has it for $500 if you're wary of eBay.

Nah, I'm pretty cool with eBay...
Another question, slightly off topic, do they come in Black?

I traded a vibrant even up for my g2...then the guy texted me two days later saying he bricked the vibrant, so I gave him a hd2 even swap and a excellent hacker friend brought it back to life on froyo.
on clist, I've seen new g2's selling for 300

paid 400 even for mines on craigslist a month ago

Cool...But anybody, what colors do they come in? I only seen gray so far. I want a Black one like my G1!

Gray and... gray. There is only one colour that I've seen.
I bought mine off eBay BNIB for $490 first week it came out. You could probably get it for a little less now.

It only comes in the Metallic Grey.

Damn that sux...Oh well, should I wait for a Black version?

They may not come out with other finishes. But you never know, they may come out with different colors after the holiday. I am on the even more plus plan and paid full price $500 plus tax and shipping.

[Q] Where should I sell my Evo

Okay so after much debate I'm looking to Upgrade to the Evo 3D. Really, after going to my local radio shack, they informed me that Sprint will allow me to upgrade early (only for a limited time) and therefore I can get the Evo 3D. In addition, they said I could sell them back My Evo and I could get up to $150 back. So my question is, should I sell it back to them, or would I get even more money if I went and sold it someplace else like Ebay?

I'd try craigslist. They seem to be going for $175-200. my brother sold his just the other day (upgraded to a 3D) for 175 cash on craigslist.

Your best bet would be ebay or Craigslist, but be prepared to wait a while for it to sell unless you sell it with plenty of accessories. The flood of EVO4Gs on ebay is pretty crazy, also try wireless toyz.

Okay thanks. Yeah the accessories I have for it will be the standard case, charger battery and that's it. Maybe I'll try Ebay first.

Okay...sorry to sound a little naive, but how would you go about selling it on Criagslist, I never sold anything on there before. Also...at what point should I have it deactivated? I'm just wondering because I'm thinking of the process.
1. Buy EVO 3D (still end up paying $200 upfront)
2. Sell HTC EVo (reimburse myself with whatever I made from the sell)
or
1. Sell HTC Evo to radioshack
2. Buy EVO 3D, only end up paying about $50 upfront.

Well Craigslist is pretty easy, you just go to like post or something, I haven't done it in a while but be sure to post pictures along with it, and a way to contact you.

Well the guy just said, until the 31st of this month, sprint will allow to push your upgrade date. I don't know if that applies to phones other than the 3D

Well sprint isn't very generous when it comes to upgrades, especially two yr upgrades, but I know they usually give you a two week advance of any upgrades, they tried doing this to me when I moved from a hero to my EVO a couple of weeks ago but I bought my EVO from a friend for 120. Saving my upgrade for the next best thing after this whole 3vo thing gets better and more stable.

You're comparing 2yr contract price with non contact price?
I think it's been that price for a while

It has been. I have absolutely no idea as to why they sent out a notice now.... screwy advertising.

wtf indeed. I got mine for $49 back in june.

Yeah, I bought mine for $49 (w/ two year contract) from BestBuy in July. The no contract price has not changed (I don't believe)

It was a penny from Amazon (w/2yr AT&T contract) back in June.

i may not be the sharpest, but i''ll still shank the eff outta you. keep ur condescending effinb remarks to yourself genius. I happened to buy my 1st atrix outright because i had just reupped my contract for an i-4 and sold it to get the atrix a few days after it came out. not that I need to explain it to anyone such as yourself. If all you have to say is **** like what you did then save your breath. its not needed around here.
