What phone should I trade Vibrant for? - Vibrant General

I have two vibrants and I want to trade one of them in for another phone. What good phones am a able to trade in for?

If you get lucky, a mytouch 4g or g2. I was recently attempting to trade mine and had the most difficult time finding anyone with an equivalent phone without requiring me to throw in cash. Everyone turned me down when they found out it wasnt "the 4g vibrant" .... I'd respond that there isnt a 4g vibrant. Etc... it was such a pain, but I ended up getting an hd2 plus cash for the vibrant.
Btw, completely happy with the hd2. I wouldnt say its better or worse, both have their downsides, but im not regretting this phone. I still have my wife's vibrant, so I'm not missing out on anything.

A nexus one would be good deal too.

G2 for sure. I went from vibrant to g2 and if your into the xda scene, its a night and day difference. 90% less brats on the g2 forums also and no dev's dropping left and right like I know they were a couple months ago when I was here.

I traded mines for an hd2+120 couldn't be happier, but I installed an ffc on my vibrant so I just said it was a 4g.

Where are you guys finding these trade offers, because I for one am getting tired of the vibrant and the community as well. :/

If you enjoy crappy digitilizers and broken power buttons.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm not sick of my Vibrant I just believe that change is good and I have two Vibrants so if I miss it I can still use. I'm just lost about what phone to get....

Uhh... you do realize that the Nexus S is still a Galaxy S phone don't you. Many of the devs that are making these terrific roms for the vibrant have already started working on Nexus S roms as well.
I am sure that they will still see you around the forums brother!
See you there, about to go trade mines with my friend in an hour
First the developers left and now users too ;(
Good luck with nexus S

I am holding out for the S2

Anyone up for a trade?

I have the htc g2 as of right now. Originally, I only got the phone because of it's physical keyboard, but now, I'm kind of finding want of a larger screen. Don't laugh, I know there's a few mt4g owners out there that want a keyboard ;P well, my phone is already perm-rooted, but id trade for a stock mt4g if the owner is desperate enough for a keyboard xD

If you ever feel up to it, just hit me up ;P I've loved the phone so far, but the screen just doesn't meet my standards. As far as performance goes, cyanogen himself has a g2 ;P oh you don't need to return to stock, I'm willing to trade for a rooted phone. I'm just cautious cause I don't want to accidentally trade my working g2 for a bricked phone and have no one to blame but myself xD

You know the screen on the mt4g is only .1 inch bigger right? I mean it is noticeable... But was thinking if the screen size is what you want you can check out the Vibrant 4g or NS. Or a Vibrant 3g and you could get cash on top in exchange for your phone. Food for thought is all.

Sorry bub, I love my Samsung Epic. I am running it with Gingerbread. You know what the best thing is some dude is working on port HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic. Dude you are screwed. Try posting an ad on craigslist too, if you have not already done this. You might find some sucker who has the Samsung Epic with Enclair. You can probably tell them that your phone is better because it has a better operating system or some crap that that. Good luck they say a sucker is born every minute.
P.S. Maybe this person might possibly sell you his Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086880

I think you should try BestBuy, they're giving out Epics for FREE w/ new contract/upgrade. Buying an unactivated used one can cost quite a bit still. Might as wel grab yourself a new one.

Evo for galaxy s 4g

I had a Guy who wants me to give him my evo for his galaxy s 4g. Should I do it? I know the galaxy has a 5mp camera and a .3 in the front although Samsung makes some dam good sensors. I also know its 16 gigs built in memory vs my 8 gigs with expandable memory. No notification light and a smaller screen. Hmm I don't know what to do lol help please. Thanks in advance.
EDIT : CRAP can a mod please move this to evo 4g general? Sorry been up for 26 hours. I know no excuse.

No. It's nice at first but you will soon realize it's a piece of crap. The camera is the only advantage it has over the EVO.

If its the original Galaxy S, no go. Keep your evo.

I say keep it. You'd be better trading it to sprint for a galaxy s II or waiting for the should be galaxy nexus.
I don't know what people are smoking, but if you are getting a trade for a Evo vs Nexus S 4G, absolutely do it! There are many threads here comparing the 2 and the Nexus always wins.
Hmm so I should trade it then

I'd do it, especially since you're not jeopardizing an upgrade. NS is definitely a step up.

i have the evo, my wife has the nexus s 4g. i love her phone a bit more. it's much more sleek, just as fast. if it were me i would probably trade.
I had the ns4g for a day. Couldn't stand the lack of microsd slot and the lack of a notification light. I ended up exchanging mine for an EVO and haven't looked back.

I bought my wife and daughter each a NS4G on launch day bth Its faster and slimmer but i still like my evo better. I like the bigger screen and im stuck on MikG roms with the wired theme. The color saturation on the NS4G is horrible IMO. Too yellow. Keep the evo.

Tradeing phone for different phone need opinions

So my aunt offered me a mytouch 4g for a vibrant. Should I do it? And if not what phone should I try to trade for. I love my vibrant but I kinda want a new phone. I switch phones like once every 3 months
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Screw that phone. I wouldn't do it.
If she's willing to propose that trade, that proves she doesn't love you. Lol
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Mt4g=180 on craigslist
Vibrant=150(that's being generous)
So if you really switch every three months, the mt4g is worth more to you. Also they're not as bad as people make them out to be.

I had a myTouch 4G before and its a great phone
myTouch 4G has more development plus you have the CHOICE of running Sense which is a really good UI on a well built ROM. That being said, you should read a bit about the good screen / bad screen issue on the myTouch as well as the good EMMC chip / bad chip as well to make sure you get a good model.
What i see Vibrant over it is the super AMOLED, better GPU, and ICS Passion ROM, and myTouch has 4G, camera flash, FFC, and better build quality.
Both phones are good, just determining what trade offs are best for you. good luck

IMHO, if you are going to trade, make sure you are getting something that really will be different. Does it have features you want, what are the differences? Is it an upgrade, or is it just a different phone?
For me I have waited a LONG time since the vibrant came out before I really found a phone worth upgrading to. I want the HTC amaze 4g. Many more features, dual core, ffc, better camera, dedicated camera/video buttons, NFC.. the list goes on. For me it is a phone that will take better advantage of ICS, and should get an official ICS update. The downside is that there isn't a whole lot of development.. yet. But it is a new phone, so that will come in time(and I even hope to make some development offerings once I get one)
So what are you looking for in a new phone, because unless the mytouch 4g has some feature you want that the vibrant doesn't have, you are trading a very solid phone for.. just another phone.
