I have a dummy (the phones you see on display but dont really work) titan you can have for real cheap. I could also send you some links to places where you could find a job and EARN one.
sorry for the threadstarter, but LOOOOOOOL at previous post.
He posted the same thing over at ppcgeeks. They removed the thread because he was being ridiculed mercilessly.
You're going to college, i have no sympathy for you. Being broke and in college is a rite of passage.

I have to agree with that. I remember the days...
Raimi noodles...
Tap water filled over & over into a recycled Evian bottle...
And washing my clothes in the boiler room sink...
But it all paid off; now I get a new PDA phone every 2 years (some free of charge) and a lobster dinner once a month.
Getting into college might be a difficult time for this kid. Just reading his post is painful. I see prep English in his near future. But then again im no English major myself either....
I just finished 3 years of college studying full time, working 20 hours a week in a call center and maintaining a 3.3 GPA.
I have had 4 PDA's during that time and they where all bought we hard earned cash.
Yes I paid for my own tuition, and no my socks do not have holes in them.
It can be done, tuff it out homeboy !
craiglist would be your best bet probably for a good price on a titan and then make some changes and activate it on cricket network or something similar / cause once u have the 6800 plans can be expensive
Here is a free one.

WHAT?!?!?!?!
Hey guys,
Out of curiosity, did someone on XDA who works for Sprint really get fired (for posting sales numbers)?
Cheers.
its possible thats private stuff lol..if you work for a wireless carrier and you leak stuff out and it gets traced back to you...its your ass lol
its possible thats private stuff lol..if you work for a wireless carrier and you leak stuff out and it gets traced back to you...its your ass lol.,.rememeber the guy who worked for verizon and dropped the verizon droid x in the gym..he got fired too..
Well, I feel bad for the bloke, stupid as his move was to leak corporate data, because now it'll be hard for him to get a job with any wireless carrier.
He broke his contract and deserves to be fired. I think it's also possible for him to be criminally prosecuted as well (depending on how severe the leak is)
They did what they should have done. If you've got a job, you know any information of this sort is sensitive and should not be shared under any circumstances. Doing so is just begging to get in trouble with your employers.
Engadget is saying he posted the info on XDA. Or am I reading that wrong?
from what I remember I think it was in the thread about a guy that worked for a florida sprint. The thread was called in u live in florida pm me or something like that, but the did post something like that either in his thread or a different one.
Search for this thread "How many evo's will be sold this weekend?" third post now changed
Wait, did it say how many phones were sold? I'm curious to know how many!
if u go to Engadget and click on the source link it takes u to mobile crunch where they were able to get the google cache of the thread and it states that the post said 66483 were sold.
edit: but that number is just what sprint sold not from third party places like radio shack best buy and such. Plus we don't really know what the guy was looking at in the internal sprint numbers it be off
66.5k sold by sprint?? hhhmmm.... seems low
I would really be interested in the real total EVO's sold on the first weekend.

Depends if that is only Sprint numbers. Add to that Walmart, Best Buy and Radio shack and that is a pretty good week.
He can definitely be fired for breaking a contract. However, one can argue that he can sue Sprint for being insincere. After all, they lied and he spoke the truth. Lying to public may result in damages to shareholders and the common good, and judges and jury may consider it important.
Just wanted to say hello...
I'm due to pick up my Galaxy SII tomorrow from my local carrier.
Man, they are hard to get your hands on around here. I was told by the corporate rep who's also a friend of mine that the waiting list has over 200 people on it right now!
Short version. I'm coming from a Dell Streak 5, which I bought used from an XDA member and was able to sell here to a friend. My boss is going to foot the bill for half of the price of my new contract GSII, so I'll come out about $200 bucks ahead to upgrade!
Been lurking over in this section for a few days trying not to make too many bonehead moves so I don't end up asking the same dumb questions again. The search button is great, but it honestly doesn't always produce very well in terms of direct results.
Anyway, I'm glad to be joining your ranks.
Great congo ;D
Disclaimer................I am no longer selling the Transformer due to the below story.
*So karma is a bi?!#. Yesterday while taking my 3 year old to potty at a restaurant my E4GT fell in toilet. I had just taken a picture of my family at the table and put my phone in my front shirt pocket. I don't normally put my phone there because I know what happened can happen but, I forgot. So I'm leaned over pulling my sons pants up when he jumps up and his head catches my pocket and pushes the phone right out and into the toilet. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU££££$$$$$$!!!!! Yeah so I don't carry insurance on my phone because I have never broken or damaged a cellphone before. Doh! Yeah I immediately pulled the battery and and the restaurant gave me a bag of rice to put it in but, I don't have any high expectations since the phone was on when it went into the toilet. So now I have to sell the TF or do some kind of swap for a phone. So angry at myself, LOL* end rant
So I post my Transformer for sale on Craigslist last night. It's in mint condition and I have the original box and manuals. Also have a Case Crown case for it. I was selling it because my wife is awesome and bought me a Prime. I posted it for $350 or willing to trade for a 7 inch tablet and cash which the amount depended on what kind of 7 incher it was or some other crap like a E4GT or Photon. I said I was not willing to negotiate if it was a straight cash sale.
Anyways I am posting the text conversation between myself and some dude. I am am going to post it word for word except for *Redacted* things like names and or locations.
Him: Do you still have your transformer
Me: Yes I do
Him: Will you take 325
Me: No, sorry 350
Him: Oh well I have someone wanting 325 so Im going to talk to him
Me: Ok, sorry I just cant do 325
(Please keep in mind I have already had 2 other offers at $325 and I have declined them both)
Him: Alright its cool. If it doesnt go through can I contact you?
Me: Sure
Him: Hey man the other didnt come through
Him: Still have your tab?
Me: I do. Not going to be able to do anything tonight unless youre willing to drive to *Redacted* after 9pm. Im stuck at work until then.
Him: I can but can you do 325?
Me: I cannot. Sorry.
Him: Ok
Me: You still want it?
Him: Yeah
Me: I'll be home around 8:45. Dont take this the wrong way but, I have a CHL, so please dont try and rob me, ok? Good. I'll give you the address to my house, if you want to meet there, when I'm on the way home. I'd give it to you now but, my wife and kids are home alone and I don't know you from Adam.
For those that are curious a CHL is a Concealed Handgun License, which I do in fact have. Also I am not stupid enough to give him my actual address and would only have given him the street that backs up to my turn about which is another turn about. I live in a very affluent neighborhood in a very crime free city.
Him: Dude can just meet at a 7-11 or something
Me: Where are you coming from?
Him: Have you ever done Craiglist before?
Him: Coming from *Redacted*
Me: Yeah lots and someone tried to rob me a year ago next month.
This is true. Luckily my CHL came in handy, dude ran, I got his plates and the Police were able to arrest the idiot.
Me: I work in *Redacted* Same place he was coming from we can meet at my job tomorrow morning if youd like.
Him: Is your tab at your house? Because I figured we can just meet somewhere in *Redacted*.
Him: **Redacted*
Me: Yeah it's at home. If you want to do this tonight I can meet you at the *Redacted* Station on *Redacted* and Main in *Redacted*
Him: Well there is actually a *Redacted* Chicken right off of *Redacted* on *Redacted* if you wanna meet inside I'm kinda hungry lol and it's public
Me: Yeah but, then I have to go home, get my tablet, then drive to *Redacted* then drive all the way back home. See where I'm coming from?
Me: It's rooted too by the way. Not a problem right?
Him: Oh yeah! Sorry. Well that *Redacted* Station is fine. Just text me when you get your tab so.I can start heading to *Redacted*
Him: I was going to root it anyways lol
Me: Cool
Him: And don't worry I've been screwed on Craigslist before so I know where your coming from. So we agreed on 325 right?
I'm shaking my head at this point but, since he's tried so hard for 325.....
Me: No, lol. I'll do 340 because youre trying so hard for 325
Him: I wouldnt mind giving you an extra $15 because thats not much more nut $325 is seriously all I have. I have a few more quarters in my car but apart from
Him: the cash that's all I have(had to buy books For school)
I'm kinda gritting my teeth trying not to be PO'd cause he's wasted so much of my time, but I was a starving student once too....oh well
Me: Damn dude. Bring your 325 and quarters....sh**
Me: Good thing I'm a fu**ing sucker for a sob story
Him: Nah nevermind man.
Me: LOL seriously? After I just agreed to 325? Whatever, guy.
Him: Like your doing me such a grand favor by dropping it 25. I'm sure some other guy will buy it. Cheers
REALLY A**HAT!!?? WHAT THE EFF!! Yeah dude I feel like I am kinda doing you a favor by dropping it $25 when my post said I wouldnt negotiate and I already told you twice that I wouldnt sell for 325....But I'm not a jerk.....so
Me: Dude you worked me down 25 bucks when my post said I wouldnt negotiate. Ive passed 2 other offers of 325 down. Your textbook story is what sold me when the others couldnt. Never said I was doing you a favor but, instead of taking the deal and running with it, you get your feelings hurt over a good natured ribbing? The should have shown you I was joking. I don't need to sell this thing so it's not hurting me to keep it. Good luck, I hope you find what you want.
END
Effing people....This conversation started at 3:30pm today and finally ended at 8:05pm.....what a waste but, once I looked back at it I found it pretty amusing.
Anyone else have any funny stories about trying to sell their old gadgets?
Haha, you wouldn't like my dad, then. He is one of those that has to win in a negotiation, even if it's a 50 cents difference. I've seen him walk away from a really good deal simply because the seller refused to go down $10. This was a piano. My dad's a musician and he deals a lot with pianos. Both my brother and I at the time knew the piano was worth a lot more (probably twice to 3 times what the owner wanted). My dad also knew this. The owner didn't know the value and so wanted to sell it for $300. At the time, we could have sold the piano for $1,000 easy. Been dealing with pianos all our lives. Anyway, my dad wanted to bring bring it down to $250. The owner refused. After talking back and forth, my dad finally declared that if the owner was willing to sell it for $290, he'd buy it right away. The owner refused to budge. So, my dad left.
Again, we've been dealing with pianos all our lives. We could have resell that piano as-is for $1000 easy. But because my dad was hard-headed...
Anyway, can I buy your tablet for 349.99? That's all I have, I swear

Yeah but the dude was getting it for the 325 he wanted it for.

You're braver than I am. Selling stuff on amazon and ebay is as far as I will go. I stay away from craigslist like the plague. And I have an arsenal of guns in my place.
I try to believe the best in people but I'm prepared for the worst
when you post on CL you have to be prepared for offers even you dont accept them. Same goes for ebay.
That guy probably trolled u.

I have an arsenal of those gun apps that make gun sounds- cheaper, quieter, and much less cleaning.

I've sold SEVERAL items on craigslist. What I usually do, I'll buy a new latest and greatest phone for upgrade price. In a year, I'll sell that phone for the price of a new upgrade phone. Therefore, I end up getting the newest latest and greatest phones for free. I can't tell you how many sob stories I get, with people trying to tell me there bad luck, and can I lower the price 50 bucks, 100 bucks etc. I even put that in my ads now. Please, no woe is me stories to get me to lower the price. The worst, is when you are dealing with someone for a few days, back and forth, and you keep saying the price is xxx amount. I won't take anything less. Then they always show up and say, oh, all I have is xxx cash. Will you take it? Then they continue to go on about how someone screwed them over, and they don't have the full amount. I never sell to them, and they end up wasting my time, gas, etc.... Still, quite frustrating, but I NEVER back down.
I can't tell you how many, "my wife has cancer, my brother has parkinsons, or some other disease", they made up. I understand trying to work the angle, but I think just about everyone knows this. Either way, it's frustrating. Stick to your guns man. You will get 350 for it.
I would have told the guy to do one after the first few lines of conversation
This is why I hate CL...

I was selling a car a couple years back and had a guy agree to the price. When we met up he starts telling me how he's a church pastor and was trying to get the car for one of his parish members who's daughter had cancer. Long story short he didn't even bring any money and wanted me to "donate" the car to him. I told him sure but I'd need a donation form and the number and address for his church as well as a copy of his ID and that I needed to talk to my lawyer so he could verify all the information the guy was going to give me. Dude started going on about how I needed to trust in God to tell me if it was ok and there was no reason for me to talk to my lawyer.....whatever, guy. Adios
Cl buyers annoy me. When I was selling my epic touch a dude offered me like half of what I wanted and wanted me to drive to him after I kept saying no to low balling.

Last time I sold something on Craigslist, the idiot came to pick up a $75 car part I was selling, and he wanted to pay me with 6 rolls of quarters and 15 $1 bills....
That was my only, and final, experience with selling locally on Craigslist..

lol I had a similar experience but not as bad. Was selling my old modded ps2 with like 100+ games for like $70. These two kids had like $68 in bills but the rest was change. I only accepted it because they were cool about it and I could tell they were gamers like myself and really wanted it.I had a cool like 20 min convo with them so that kinda helped too. turned out the car they drove was like on E and the money they gave me was all they had. I would have hit the floor if they asked me to spot them some gas money lmao.

My apologies. The stroll wasn't directed towards you, but the entire situation.
Basically, my Evo had finally came to an end after heating up multiple times and basically frying the processor etc. So, what did I do? Just like anyone that has a full upgrade and has seen the Evo4GLTE and Samsung Galaxy SIII commercials. I went to Sprint in search of my new S3. I traded my OGEVO and got $60 towards my bill on the new phone. Got home, everything was perfecto! Went to sleep, worked all the next day. I get a call from my friend asking if I had talked to my uncle. I said no, why? He said, someone tried to call my grandmother, pretended to be me and told her I along with my girlfriend and my best friend got arrested in Cancun Mexico... Asked for $4100 wire transfer immediately.
Basically long story short, the day after I traded in my Evo is when this happened, a Hispanic man helped me, my family said it was a hispanic man trying to sound like me. Does it sound like the Sprint guy to anyone else? I mean, I didn't erase anything on my phone, as I should have. There were only two people I text, and the only two people in my SMS box were the two people he said I got arrested with... My grandmother in my phone is under "Nan" so its obvious that's my grandmother. I put two and two together and basically came up with this odd hunch that its the Sprint guy who is trying to scam my family. My mother filed a police report but haven't gotten a phone call from the detectives... & assuming the detectives don't have time to worry about this. I have no other choices, but to be SOL.
Leave your comments and feedback's please. I am just curious to understand what others think about this problem I am trying to deal with.
I think..uh...I don't. I got bored halfway through the story
I believe it was him what a coinsidence that the people u had on your phone were the two people he named. Id go to the store and complain about it.

It was most certainly that person, because here are the rules sprint has with turning in old phones
Sprint's policy is to erase user data from all mobile devices collected through the company's takeback programs before they are reused.
Either two things happened
A) Sprint resold that phone the same day without erasing the data which holds them accountable
B) That person you turned it into was behind the scam and stole the information and re-used it ( I hope you had his name)
C) Even if that person had nothing to do with it, this incident occurred after handing the phones to sprint, so they could be responsible.
You need to GET BACK TO THE STORE ASAP and talk to the manager about this, and tell them to contact the authorities and open up an investigation. DO NOT WAIT
That is one bizarre chain of events! :screwy:
Yeah I know. I need to go back up there tomorrow after work. It was Monday of this week that I got the phone. Tuesday when I got off work is when thIs happened. I hope I'm not too late. Yes I remember his name, Edgar! It's all his fault!

One more tip, DONT CONFRONT HIM YOURSELF!
Goto the manager and explain everything, then he will confront him
Its not too late, this guys an idiot its so easy to track his wire transfer, hes headed straight to jail!
Also if you can take your grandmother, maybe she can hear his voice and confirm its him on the scene.
Wow what a crazy story. It doesn't surprise me one bit.
I had a interesting one myself. I had to calk sprint one day an talked to a rep in Chicago.
We upgraded our rate plan which went very smooth. But my wife, usually pays pretty close attention to our bills happened to look at the account 2 days later. The rep I spoke with had activated 2 extra lines that day and sent them to herself.
It was such a HUGE ordeal to contest the new lines. But when I threatened legal responsibility for the actions taken by them, they removed them.
Do not be afraid of telling them you will take legal actions against them. I ended up completely getting out of my contract and now I'm with boost. Obviously same company but I couldn't beat their service in my area. Plus a hell of a lot cheaper bills.

Something similar happened in the Atalnta area as well so could be coincidence......
An 80-year-old woman in unincorporated Stone Mountain reported to DeKalb County police that she was scammed out of $6,500 last week.
The victim told police that on Feb. 17 around 12 p.m. she received a call from the suspect, identifying himself as Robert Wells, who said he was with the American Embassy in Barcelona, Spain.
According to the report, the victim told police that the suspect said her grandson had been in an accident and that he had some unpaid medical bills that needed to paid before he could return to the United States.
The woman told police that the suspect transferred her to the grandson; it was later determined that someone was posing as her grandson, according to the report.
