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
I have a used but in excellent condition Nexus One unlocked for Tmobile and ATT. I might be interested in selling.

You mean one for T-Mobile, and a different one for AT&T?

I have one phone that is unlocked for both carriers.
I miss my focus reasoning is because of I wanted to save some extra cash for the holidays I returned my focus. But the reason was my (tech guy) walmart contact told me they have the samsung focus in finally and that it was 148.88 I was like well thats only 50 in savings from when I purchased then he told me that it came with a $100 gift card to Walmart! So if you are wanting the focus and to shop at Walmart the actual cost you will spend is 48.88! When my upgrade is reversed going to pick my toy back up!
Its effectively free at Walmart now, pay $99.99, get a $100 Gift card.
AT&T just started a buy one get one free WP7 promo. Good in AT&T stores only.
This just kills me! All these great promotions I can't take advantage of. Buy one get one free, uh...
Amazon also is selling it for 49.99, i returned my surround (i paid 99.99) and am getting the focus and $50 back.
The cheaper they are the more there will be! Go Walmart!
i bought one off of amazon when it was on sell for $50... Im glad i saved $150 for other things and if i dont like it i can just return and get the captivate or sell it on ebay for $500 plus and get a unlocked phone. but i have a feeling ill like it regardless off what everyone is saying

What do you mean? Apart from a few biased reviews like inforworld.com, it's been very positive in most of the places. Check the owner reviews in Amazon, they all seem to be happy though not all techies like the usual WM or Android crowd.
I'm hoping for a Black Friday deal on a no contract Focus. Not holding my breath, but it would be nice...

i meant the people who complained about how M$ messed up by not have 1 or 2 feature and blah, blah, blah ( some of them on here). Which i dont see why they are complaining, because its a new Mobile OS and it takes time to develop things. None of the other OSs were perfect @ start.
Same here, but it's not looking to good.
My contract with AT&T just ran out, so the last thing I want is another 2 years with them. I'd like to pick up one of these off contract to hold me for a little while until I can decide which carrier I'll eventually switch to.
Yeah, I haven't seen a lick of any kind of deal anywhere.
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.

Ahh, that makes sense. Bummer.
So I recently got a new job and the company gave me a cell phone, so I no longer need my Evo, and I'm trying to save money, so I cancelled Sprint.
But selling this Evo has been so crazy hard to do. Anyone have any recommendations? I would really like to sell this guy to offset my ETF with Sprint.
how much
Sent from htc evo
$300 would be awesome, but I'm willing to accept offers if they are reasonable.
Craigslist and meet at a Sprint Store should work pretty fast. At $300 is a great price if it's almost new. I just paid $375 for a BNIB one off of Ebay.
Set up an Amazon Marketplace or Ebay, compare & 1 up the guy selling it the cheapest or autction it on Ebay.
EDIT: Highly recommend what the person above me said. That exactly is how I sold the Mogul, Diamond & the Hero.
where are you located?

Check with your employer on policies regarding personal use of the phone.
My employer has very strict policies against personal use of the company phone.

I sell all of my old phones on eBay. I've sold 6 so far. The EVO will go for 300 in like 5 minutes.
The EVO you wish you had

True. I know a lot of people who got fired for sending steamy text messages or visiting porn websites.
If they gave you a Blackberry those are monitored on servers depending on the company you work for.

craigslist.org is what I use.. and very easy.. and free!!!
you wanna know why you cant sell it for $300? because of these:
1.) everyone has android
2.) alot of people already have an evo (like me)
3.) alot of people prefer verizon
4.) many people dont want to pay for 4g since not many places have it
5.) most people do what i do- wait for upgrade, and get it $400 of and get it brand new. $100 off what youre selling it for.
6.) some people want to hack verizon iphone onto sprint probably
7.) some people are waiting for a thunderbird on sprint with the tegra 2 processors (2 1ghz processors)
8.) like everyone above said: put it on ebay or craiglist. my dad sells random junk on it within a week all the time.

My area sucks. Sacramento is terrible. I've had it on Craigslist for about a week now with no bites. Maybe eBay is a better way to go.
i had my touch pro 2 on craigslist for 2 weeks.. with very little bites.
then someone wanted it... and paid my price - $15 discount.
Where can i buy one off contract? The tmo store will not sell it as of yet.
A few options:
- Non T-Mobile phone stores (In Houston, I tend to look for cell phone stores in Chinatown)
- Craigslist (Always ask for seller's ID due to the blocked IMEI scam on the rise)
- E-bay
- Market place on here (I think I've seen a few)
- Did you try calling T-Mobile directly? Also, just FYI, my friend bought her 16GB White T999 from a T-Mobile store here in Houston TX for full price (payment plan) about two weeks ago. So I'm not sure why (I'm assuming) you were told that T-Mobile store will not sell it yet or why the store wouldn't sell it to you.

please elaborate on the ID, you mean ask them for the IMEI?
I want to buy it off craigslist but it's obvious people stole bulks of these phones off somewhere.
I called the TMo stores directly, not the company. They all told me they have a memo from Tmo not to sell off contract s3's until further notice.
They are available for their value plans but you will be making payments on $599 plus tax.
.. via SGH-T999 by TT2
On craigslist make sure they give you the receipt is one way to go. Or have them meet you at a T-Mobile store (preferred) when you do the exchange. Kinda like buying a used car and meeting at the dmv to change title.

No. Not asking for the IMEI number because the IMEI will be on the phone and on the box.
What I mean was this: A lot of people buy their phones on Craigslist and the phone will be working for a few weeks or a month before it will eventually stop working. When you call it in, you will be told that the phone was reported stolen and as such, the IMEI was blocked, rendering the phone to be useless on T-Mobile's network. What had happened was, the person selling the phone on CL would have claimed the phone to be stolen and received a replacement phone through insurance. This way, he would have your money and still own a galaxy S3.
For example of what I think is an example of such scam, click me
So, when you do a transaction on CL, take a screen shot of the CL ad, do the transaction at a T-Mobile store. Always ask for a receipt or any kind of proof of purchase, and ask for their personal ID so you can track them down in case the phone was reported stolen so you can have support for when you go to the Police (if you choose to go to the police).

Thanks for the info. First time with tmo and was going to return my Costco s3 and try to get one on CL so Im not stuck on a contract. Now that I know this ill be more weary with phones off contract. Quick question. Besides getting their ID info which could be difficult to do, could you technically let T-Mobile know that you just bought it off craigslist and have the seller give his info to them which the seller would most likely do rather than give you his ID. Assuming ofcourse that he is also with using tmo service so his account can be noted.

Wow thats crazy.
Here's my short story.
The family decided to start a new 2 year contract and everyone got Galaxy S2's. This was like in April. Sold the S2 because I wanted the S3.
Started looking on Ebay, then Craigs. I checked on Craigs one day and found a pretty good deal for a sealed blue 16gb (though I had to give up the micro sim in the deal). Jumped on it that same day and met locally. I get to the spot and it turned out the seller is the older brother of this dude I knew in middle school/high school (they were both there at the spot). In my head I was like oh nice, this should be easy.
Opened it up on the spot, paid the guy, and left.
I feel pretty lucky for that to happen. I mean, of all chances I was able to meet up with someone on Craigs that I know.
But hearing these stories of people scamming people through IMEI is crazy.

T-Mobile stores won't sell them off contract? I bought mine full retail at a factory T-Mobile store almost 2 weeks ago. No issues what-so-ever.
