If you had the opportunity, would you trade your Vibrant for a Nexus S (for free)?

Let me preface this post by saying it is not about what phone is better or that you hate Samsung blah blah blah.
The fact is, I have the opportunity to trade my Vibrant for a Nexus S with no money out of pocket. I have to do this within a week or two, otherwise I'd wait for a dual core or the PSPhone.
The best phone available (in my opinion) is the Nexus S because it's a legacy phone for Google, which means it'll be privy to new OS releases.
That said, would you do it? Yes, no, why?

Yes, if ur looking for updates.
Else stay with vibrant because of the sd memory

yes. how did you get a deal like that?

Personally I love my vibrant. Hmmm...but if I had some experience with the s I might. Just because of the upgrades but why do that when we have all of these roms?

I'm adding a family line for a family member. She doesn't care what phone she gets so I figure:
1) Active Nexus S for her for $218 (with tax) + activation fee
2) Buy a cheapo prepaid or craigslist phone $50 ish
3) Sell Vibrant on craigslist/fleabay for $300 - $325 ish
4) Use the difference to buy a 6 pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Even if I have to spend a little money out of pocket, I am thinking this is still a good idea.

I originally used the lack of SD as the reason I didn't want a Nexus S. Then I really looked at how much memory I was using. Only 12GB of the 16GB on the Vibrant's internal. And I don't even watch movies or listen to the music that is on there (ended up getting a rooted Nook Color for that).

Um, what?
Why does it matter if I'm under contract?
I'm activating a legit 5th line on my account for the Nexus S. Then I'm taking my sim card and putting it in the Nexus S. I'll take the sim card associated to the Nexus S and put it in the cheapo prepaid.
Then I'll go online, let mytmobile detect my current phones, and remove the data plan from my 5th line.
The NS has zero rebates. I only have to activate it with a data plan. No where in the T&C does it say I need to keep the data plan for X amount of time.

I believe they changed that and you'll get hit with an ETF if you drop the data plan before your contract period is up.
edit: Here's the relevant bit from the current T&C: "Some Devices require maintaining certain features or Services (e.g. a data plan) as part of your Rate Plan, and cancelling them before the end of your Term will result in an Early Termination Fee."

in order for the NS to cost $200 you have to get a data plan with it....unless you are not under contract on the vibrant then you can swap plan...

I'd sign up for whatever plan gets you 9% IPA. 2 year contract no problem there.

Does Best Buy charge a secondary ETF? Normally third party resellers only add the ETF if you cancel, not if you change plans. I've done this plan a few times (hence 4 lines on my account).

If I wasn't under contract with the Vibrant, I could just do an upgrade on my line.
I talked to a BB rep via chat. He said I just need to keep the data plan on the line as long as the phone is on that same line. Well, technically that line wouldn't have the Nexus S on it any more....

OK, you all got me paranoid so I googled this question.
Best Buy does NOT have a secondary ETF.
I know they've withheld rebates because users have changed features on their plans that are required to get the rebate, but the NS is $200 outright.

Keep in mind Nexus S does not do 720P, that's the sole reason I haven't purchased it. Per Supercurio its a hardware limitation of the SoC

I totally agree with you. Storage memory is not an issue with me.
I had the Nexus S for 4 weeks last month, and boy, I really loved it. I love Gingerbread for it is very fast and very snappy. I love the curve glass screen, it's beautiful. The touch screen is very responsive. I got stronger signal with the Nexus S compare to with my Vibrant. Even though, it's only 3G, but surfing the web is very fast. Pictures load up real fast in Facebook, video clips load up real fast in Youtube. GPS and navigation is very accurate. Battery life is about 6 hrs of moderate use. I have no complaint for it except one bug, it's intermittently reboot itself during active calls. This has been fixed by Google, thought.
I bought it without contract with the intension to re-sell my Vibrant. But now my Vibrant is rooted with stable, working ROM thanks to Master. I decided to return it because I'm stuck with the Vibrant being on a 2-year contract; and because I also wanted to wait for the new, incoming phones with dual-core and 4G, etc .... But if I have the opportunity to trade my Vibrant for a Nexus S evenly, I absolutely would do so right away.

I'm not talking about a secondary ETF, I'm talking about T-Mobile themselves. When Best Buy activate that line with T-Mobile, you're agreeing to keep data on the line per the terms of the T-Mobile T&C.
From what I remember, that requirement stays on the line regardless of what phone you change it to later on.

Absolutely YES

I would trade my vibrant and a nexus s for some Dogfish Head raison d'etre. Wait. Is it too late to change the topic of this thread..?

ATT unlimited data

Just a little update. ATT is now letting iphone owners who switch there data plan from the unlimited plan switch back to it. Even though I got the streak I told them that im still using my iphone and bam, they gave me my unlimited data plan back. Oh and they did ask for the imei and ipcid number.

Before I got my streak I asked the employee helping me if I could keep my unlimited data and he said it was no problem to keep it...he said they keep it for most people...but that may not be consistent across all best buy locations.

The reason I bought the streak off contract, full price was because when I got the tilt 2 when it came out, they still had the unlimited data. Using wi-fi, I can stay on the old contract, and retain the unlimited data, unlimited messaging.
I'm sure eventually, the death star will change that.

I had the Tilt 2 also when I bought my Streak in December. I didn't know I was switched to the 2Gb plan until I looked at my account online. Best Buy claimed that AT&T makes them switch your plan, but when I went down the street to the AT&T store, they said they were wrong. I was told the Best Buy rep had the option to click the unlimited plan box, but didn't. AT&T sent an email message to corporate, and I was back on unlimited by the end of the day.
peterson65 , go to the store and tell them you want unlimited back. If they do it for even one person, they have to do it for everyone.

Atrix for $199 or wait for a different phone?

Hi, I am new around here. Been lurking around for a little while.
I recently lost my iPhone 3Gs so I have been looking around to replace it with an Android phone bc I am kinda bored of iOS.
I dont have an upgrade til at the end of the year so I decided to call the customer relations and see if they can work out something for me. I remember reading in a "how much did you get your atrix for?" thread where the guy said he was leaving unless they gave him a killer deal and got his for $130 +$180 in credit and no renewal of contract which is hard for me to believe. I tried and the best they gave me was $199 with extension.
I am having a hard time deciding whether to move to verizon or t-mobile but they dont have any phones that i am interested in at the moment although it seems like there will be some interesting phones on the way soon.
but I need a smartphone again ASAP bc the 'dumbphone' is makin me feel dumb.
Would it be worth it to try to hustle them a bit more for a better deal or just move on to a different network? I thought they'd give me a better deal since i been with them for a decade now but i do think $199 for the atrix is still pretty reasonable. It is just that I can always use a better deal.
Sorry if this thread is pointless but any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

$199 for an Atrix off-contract is a killer price considering that you can still take your business elsewhere and get at least $400 on ebay for the Atrix if you decide to move.

that's a great deal! go for it, you'll love the atrix

awesome deal
worst case u can still sell it on craigslist for 450+ and u are not in a contract

Honestly... I'd hold off for another month or so and wait for the SGS2. The atrix is a good phone. I jumped on this bandwagon a little early and regret it; I'm waiting for the SGS2 international (I-9100) and jumping ship as soon as it's out.
Don't get me wrong though - if you're not a tinkerer then this is a great phone. And coming from an iphone I assume you don't care about the phone being locked up seeing as how that's Apples M.O. It could be a good phone for you but personally, I want to customize it more than I'm currently able to.

Isn't the SGS2 International like $950 off contract lol.

Yep that's a great deal!!!
It is great phone and hopefully in couple months or sooner the boot loader will get crack which im hopping for it because that will unlock tons more enjoyment from it and with the docks imagine what you can do with those. And even Motorola might even release something or unlock the boot loader when they see sales going down because everyone wants too unlock the full potential of this device!!
I got the atrix laptop dock also which is pretty nice but it just needs a bit more speed.

So I read this as, $199 for a 2 year contract (EXTENSION)..
That's the same as everyone else.. How is that a good deal?

you can get atrix for 119 in costco.

i was about to say the same thing
i was about to say the same thing. bought it few days ago for $120. The good thing is if I dont like the phone I can return it within 90 days without any charges and if something good comes by then (lets say Iphone 5,6 or whtever)..all I have to pay is the difference which is $80...

the price is with contract extension so basically the same price anyone can get. I just said that they would give me the contract/upgrade price now instead of waiting until the end of the year when I will be "eligible" for an upgrade. My bad for the misunderstanding. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the costco price since I can't get it for $199 even from the corporate store. As far as i know, AT&T will only allow me to get it at a discounted price through the customer relations department.
I guess I'll try if I can have the customer relations put a note on my account so that any at&t carrier can see my eligibility.

Hell, you should just buy it outright for the price; if you don't like it you can just sell it for 400+.
The phone is great though, I only took mine back because of the locked bootloader, the galaxy s 2 is coming out, and I just got bored with it.

Amazon's web store has it for $149. You'll lose your unlimited data plan if you have one, but I read that if you badger them enough they'll give it back to you.
That's what I'm going to try anyway!

do you mean if you get it from amazon?

Yes, they force you to change your data plan. Last night I found out you can also get that price at Radioshack, but I don't know if the data plan hassle remains.

I bought mines from radioshack and yes i was forced to convert to one of their new DATA plans, After the changes were done i called up at&t to have my unlimited databack. They submitted a case to their so called "BUFU dept" and they switched my unlimited back in 3 days.
Keep in mind i called before the changes and confirmed that they will put back my data plan

Got mine at Radio Shack for $149. No hassle at all with data plan or setup. Took less time than it typically does at an ATT store.

DVP AT&T and medianet data plan

Can i keep the medianet data plan if i buy the phone unlocked from dell? I currently using it on my Bell Desire Z. If i buy the at&t DVP unlocked, will i be able to keep the plan? Did anyone try this?
Thanks

On my wife's DVP, I bought it subsidized from Dell for AT&T and they switched her $10 dumbphone plan she was using on her Pixi to the Smartphone plan since I had to pick the plan when buying the phone. Once AT&T switched it in their system, I called and switched the IMEI on the billing system from the DVP to a dumbphone IMEI. Then I logged into OLAM and picked the $10 unlimited family data plan again and it has been on that for a month with no issues. The OLAM system still shows the phone on her line as a SE z520a instead of the DVP, so it would seem that they do not pick up the phone type automatically on the DVP like they do with other phones.
Because of the above, I would assume that buying unlocked and using the old MediaNet plan would work without issue...

Has anyone else tried this? I too have a Bell Desire Z that I use on AT&T but this phone has had my interest ever since I saw it in the Microsoft Store last November.
There is a great sale on eBay: Unlocked 16GB brand new for $299 either version (AT&T or T-Mobile) and I'm really considering getting it if I can keep my cheap data plan...
Edit: Looks like it is this price on Dell.com, too.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but I purchased a DVP locked to T-Mobile and unlocked it through dells unlock code request email service. I have been using the phone since the beginning of April on AT&T. AT&T does not recognize my DVP's IMEI # as a smartphone number and allowed me to purchase the unlimited *EDGE* data plan for $10 a month. If you don't mind slightly longer load times for youtube videos and longer download times for apps, I would recommend it. As for reception and call quality, I can't tell the difference and I've never had issues. Not a bad deal!

UPDATE: Yesterday, AT&T sent a sms and email saying they were changing my wife's line back to the $25 plan....oh well.

Darn. I was really considering the phone, now that I know I'll be switched to the $25 data plan, I won't be getting it. $300 is a steal for it, though. The only thing I wish it had was 512MB RAM. I can't believe they skimped on such a cheap component.

The ram bug was fixed in newer firmware. It does have 512 ram. I ordered one anyway, since I don't use over 2gb anyway.

I just bought an unlocked Dell Venue with AT&T bands, and AT&T replaced my $15 medianet unlimited plan with a 2gb smartphone plan. They must have all the IMEI numbers now. Lesson learned.. don't buy unlocked phones from a mfg that also offer them with a contract.

Oh I thought there physically was only 256MB in the device. I guess not. Still though, I wanted to get one to play with and see how I like WP7, but if it means I'm going to lose my $10 data plan I won't be doing that. Maybe if that new Galaxy S 2 slider comes out on AT&T next month and I'm forced to get the new data plan, I could pick one of these up, too.

Its probably an at&t (greedy bastards!) thing. I have a DVP on T-Mobile and still have my GF'ed $19.99 data plan, no trying to get me on the higher priced data plans.

Galaxy Nexus at Bestbuy $99.00

Not sure if this is a deal or not but I purchased a Nexus at Bestbuy yesterday for $99.00. I upgraded one of my phones. The local VZW store had them for $149.00 but they did not have any in stock. This is the second phone I've purchased at Bestbuy and I really like dealing with them. Of course, I don't have my unlimited data plan anymore but that was bound to happen sooner or later. I'll just have to watch my data usage now.
PS. I really like this phone. lol.

bestbuy has good price however i would complain to your carriers customer care i wouldnt give up my unlimited without a fight

I'm assuming this is $99 with a new contract?

Not considered a great deal if you were required to sign a contract for it.

cool :highfive::highfive:

yeah it's $99 with a new contract.
wah wah wahhhhhh.

Try Newegg, its free as a new customer or $49 as an upgrade. They are also throwing in a free dock and $25 gift card.

This might sound like a crazy question but do you need a 4G plan to have a 4G phone?
I got grandfathered into the unlimited 3G plan on Verizon and was just wondering like what's stopping me from buying a Nexus and activating it myself?

From what I understand if you try to upgrade now with a grandfathered unlimited plan they will force you to switch to a metered plan. The only away around it is to buy a non subsidized device at full price.

Alright, cool. That was my plan (paying full price) I was just afraid that after I activated it they'd make me switch to a 4G plan or whatever but I don't plan on going through them to get a new phone anyway

There were never separate 4G plans, its just that around the time most phones started coming with 4G, Verizon was making the switch to metered data. You could buy the HTC Thunderbolt before unlimited data for new customers ended and it was a 4G phone.

Basically if you want an "upgrade" for Verizon.You have to pay full retail price or buy it from someone,if you wanna keep your unlimited data as of the 29th of June.But I heard Verizon will eventually kick everybody off the unlimited plan in a year or two.

Yeah, I'd return it and get your unlimited back. Then call up VZW and ask to keep your plan. I did the sa,me thing with AT&T and they honored my unlimited plan.

Just thought i would pop in and say if you can find a Walmart with them in stock, last time I was at work they were .97¢ for upgrade or new line. So 99$ isn't a great deal
