Went to Best Buy today and saw the new phone price cards stacked up on the counter. The NS4G price was $49.99 and marked as clearance. I was surprised to see it go to clearance so quickly.
Yea, I noticed the price online the other day. I want my 100 dollars back lol

Yeah. I don't have reception issues but no 4g where I'm at. But I love the phone so I don't mind paying premium price. There is just something about this all black finish and the screen. Can't tell where the screen ends and phone body begins. I love it

saw that too, just bought em at a sprint store on the 18th. Did get 175 per phone in service credits for porting numbers (125 plus extra 50 from rep, plus no activation fee) so prolly came out about the same. oh well.

There is part of the screen that is always a very dark grey, it is a circle. It is hard to notice, but when you notice it, it is very annoying.
It is kind of like having an image burned in on a plasma screen... except on this device.
I see. Thanks for explanation

Amoled screens don't get burned in. The LCD technology just doesn't function this way. It's just probably going bad in that spot. Samsung has 1 year warranty on your phone so if you can't get the carrier to replace it claim your warranty.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a att branded Nexus S, found one on Craigslist for $300..
I think its a fair price, Guy is local and I'm tired of my Inspire.
Reasons I would like to buy it, smaller screen size, pure aosp, battery life...
I just got the inspire about 3 months ago and will more then likely keep it..
What are things I should look for to make sure it is the real deal or just in general?
Any help is appreciated honestly.
I know I could wait for something better to come out ina few months but I don't use my phone for gaming, just purely alot of web browsing, texting and surfing forums..
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Only advantage to the Inspire is screen size. I have owned a Inspire and currently own a NS4G and I like both, but Nexus is smooth. When I buy phones I really just check cosmetic and play with it and check about phone to see what its on and browse the interwebs for a few.
Make sure it is truly the i9020a version and not the i9020t or some other variant. Otherwise it isn't truly the AT&T phone (would not work with 3G otherwise).
What should the about read besides 2.3.4 which kernal is stock etc and thanks for the replies guys keep then coming please

Nexus S phones do not have the carrier branding. Only Samsung and Google in the back.
Basically I was asking if the "a" at the end of the model number is for at&t?

That I am not sure but, I told him I wanted to me up and he goes, ok my friend works downtown and ill confirm with him, I'm assuming he posted for a friendz but then goes on to say the Guy, who apparently owns his own business.
So sounds kinda sketchy to me, if a Guy can run a business downtown why can't he post his own ad?

Get the IMEI # and call att check it. If he wont give it to you then move on! Gsm phones don't have esn they take sims and you could end up with a stolen phone and not even know it. I know here in Austin they are going for less than what that guy is asking. Just seen a white one for $260 and it was squeky clean.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
The AT&T nexus s is only $99 on contract, so $300 for LBNIB isn't sketchy--but the white ns for $260 kind of is. I say meet with the guy if you like the price, inspect for damages and all accessories, then stick your sim in and wait for that 3G or H symbol to pop up. Also make test calls and take pics to ensure speakerphone/mic/camera/etc. is working.
I just bought a LBNIB for $325, so $300 is a good deal imo.

So I just talked to him again, he sent the pictures like he said he would, sweet baby jesus she looks fine! lol
Turns out the reason he mentioned his friend was because they are old business partners and the actual seller wouldn't be able to meet me in person, because he would be at work, so he is going to give the phone to his friend, who he trusts to meet up with me.
I didn't ask the guy where he worked but his friend works downtown here and it's not to far for me, so hopefully all goes well..
I'm here now talking to them and was just told they go off early upgrade eligibilty not the amount of it... so even with only the 75 upgrade I can still walk out of here with this phone for 199.99 just like new contract! So just fyi for anyone interested

Are you talking about at Sprint or Best Buy? Also since they are doing away with the Premiere program you will be with that phone for 20 months. It seems like a good phone but just seen a glimpse of the Galaxy III for 2012 and may just wait. Anxious to see what the Devs will do with Gingerbread source code.
Are you going for it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No I'm not getting it but was curious how they would handle the 75 upgrade as sprint no longer let's you get gold status as of 10-1 as of my talk with them earlier.. I had my eyes on the nexus prime or new quad core phones in 1st 1/4 next year. My 150 upgrade isn't till 8/1/12 btw

Pretty sure since yyour current contract was signed before the change, it'll stay 22 months. Your NEXT contract will entitle you to the 20month upgrade.

So I have a opportunity to use the stratosphere (temporarily) for a few weeks. I'm an Epic user. I got to say that this phone is the Epic done right. I like how the usb port is on the bottom of the phone which doesn't block the headphone jack with a L shaped charger. The phone is running Gingerbread stock. LTE definitely has better coverage in my area. The back piece is textured and feels good in your hands. It's definitely the Epic done right but it's late to the party. For $99 its not bad.

I love my Epic. And if I had to switch to Verizon, I would want this phone. At least until I could afford a nice, new, shiney phone with a bigger screen and no slide out keyboard. I'm getting so tired of the thickness of my phone for a keyboard I don't use.
I think it's kinda weird, though, that Verizon is getting this, considering I thought that the Epic is nearing it's EOL.

Nexus s is good for messing with roms..
Sent from my modded Epic 1x that I cannot love more.. Thank you EpicCM team, bbelos, and zeppelinrox.
Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

My only gripe I had with the Nexus S was no LED notifications and no zoom on the camera, but I wish the Epic had the internal storage space the Nexus have

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

You all suck.
Traitors!
I may get a Galaxy Nexus next week off-contract.
I'll wait for a new slider because once jelly bean hits this phone its good for another couple months.. or month

Picking up a GS3 from Verizon tomorrow. Sad to leave this awesome Sprint community and my first smartphone that actually lasted me the entire length of the contract. Also kinda sad that I'm gonna have to keep track of data and hope for workarounds with the Verizon version of the device. But I'll be saving money by jumping back onto my family plan (now that they all have data too, only gonna cost me $40 instead of $75 by myself on Sprint) and the improved signal and service should be nice as well. Thanks to all the developers and members here for doing some AWESOME stuff with the Epic 4G for sure!
I have a fun fact for you "upgraders". Your S3 is going to be new, shiny, and exciting. For us late bloomers who got the epic a year after you did, well, let's just say the LTE quad cores with unreleased swag and EPIC upgrades will make you butthurt. So there!!!!! Yes, I might be an idiot.

They won't do it unless it is blue to blue. The model number has to match exactly. I had to swap my white for a blue to get the $50 back.

LMAO!!! thanks for your honesty dude
I got my white price matched with absolutely no issues, try it out... also I am returning the s III and waiting out for the Photon Q ... I thought I could do without the keyboard, but I miss it too much. I am not as productive with the virtual keyboard as I am with a regular keyboard. It's not even that the VK is soo bad, but I am more likely to put off things like enter calendar dates and take notes and reminders because it is more of a hassle than with a physical keyboard. It was also a bit too big for me to comfortably use with one hand.
Bottom line is if you are thinking about switching but are attached to the keyboard, you may want to wait for a little longer to see if another slider comes out. I think a 4.3" slider with a 720p screen would be absolutely perfect.
I just played with the GS3 and I have to say it doesn't feel as solid in hand as the gnex, gs2, and especially the evo lte. However, it seemed the most fluid of them all.

Depends on the BBY. I walked in, asked some questions about the buyback and protection plans, then said, hey, do you price match Radioshack's deal; the associate called Radioshack, they said $150, he said okay. Color wasn't even a thing.
