sell my HD to buy an iphone?

i'm hacked off with windows mobile so probably going to sell the HD
has anyone looked at selling theirs to buy a iphone?
i'm after a 16gb model
anyone know if i'll be able to get enough for a mint HD to buy a new iphone?
i'm sure others have looked into this before
i'm in the uk if that makes any difference

Considering how long ago the HD was launched I can't imagine that it will sell for top dollar.

the highest offer i got on my HD that i recently put on ebay was 475 plus 20 shipping. I relisted because i want at least 500 for it.

I sold mine is feb for $690 on ebay and bought an iphone. You will get enough for an iphone for sure (at contract price).

Will buy the new iPhone 3GS regardless of whether I get good price for my HD or not. Will also keep my iPhone 3G 16GB for my family. Everyone of them wants me to pass to them.

cheers guys
Its about 1 month old as i had it replaced, and is in mint condition
its not however unused, but you cant notice that it has been
Will the prices of a pay as u go iphone (non S) drop when the S is released
How long will i have to wait?
Currently i think i can get a 16gb model for £340
so i'm hoping i can get that for my HD
cheers

You shouldn't have a problem selling it for at least £350... I was monitoring the HTC HD up till 2 weeks ago (I got mine last week, finally got it under contract from O2) coz I was thinking of getting one without contract..
All the phones were going for above £300, even the ones where it's been 'used' for a week or a month...

Might be selling mine on ebay after I get the TP2 with Tmob USA!

why dude whyyyyyyyyyy?
put a dutty or miri rom on and you're golden.

Good luck with your fruit.

Have you tried ebay?
Off topic. Hey homer that is a beautiful American Pitbull you have looks alot like mine but mine but with less white, to bad idiots and the media give them such a bad rep.

well ... OS3 sound great ... at least IPhoners now get "copy & paste" and some other nice features
and about the "S" ... hm ... we'll see
but always remember ... it's all about Marketing and those guys and gals over at Apple now that job
good luck anyway

i've no doubt the hd is better in terms of specs etc
however, i want something that is quick to use, and doesn't give you rsi as you need to put a fair bit of pressure on the screen
who knows, i maybe back in a month!!!

You wont be back in a month trust me you wont be back to the HD at all.

lol, I've used the iPhone 3G for some months and now I'm back to the Touch HD and probably won't get an iPhone again (at least I definitely won't get the 3GS, I'm waiting for the Samsung i8000 or the Acer F1).
The iPhone is still way too limited. At least it's got copy&paste and voice control now but the camera still sucks, it still can't download things from the internet, the display resolution is still bad and lots of other things that were disturbing me.
Unlike the iPhone, my Touch HD does everything I want (except for good pictures in low light) and there's no situation where it lets me down because Windows Mobile is limitless.

x10 v/s galaxy3

Hello ppl
i'm thinking of getting a x10 in replacement for my g3..is it a good choice
x10i is not new.. + it doesn't boot it has this red led of death (that's what its called i think)
anyway so will i b able to get it to work again..also the owner says that the motherboard has crashed!! <- is that possible??
plz your opinions and advice would really help, especially from ppl who have played around with their x10
thanks

i see your in india so x10 is prices at 26,000.INDRS so there are much better options, the reason is x10 is pretty outdated and SE doesnt decide to drop its price so its better to get a newer phone
Dual core's
Atrix(poor battery management!but good performance) - around RS.26,000
HTC EVO 3D(not out yet but pretty good specs) - around RS.25,000
Galaxy sII(best phone so far) - around 30,000
1 Ghz core
nexus s - 26,000
milestone II
Droid incredible
Galaxy s

X10i is available for much lesser price, around 20000 INR, I'll suggest a Galaxy s2, or if you want to purchase within INR 20000, go for x10i or galaxy ace. Edit: Even galaxy S is available in India for 18000 INR.

I'm not buying a new x10...
It's a second hand phone with the problems i've mentioned in my first post...

put in some extra money and get the SII!

I think the red led means that the battery is just way to flat. Leave it charging for a long time and I hear it comes right and will turn on. X10 is a good phone, if its cheap go for it, I love mine and theres a fair bit of support for it here.

only buy faulty hardware if u are getting it dirt cheap, meaning < 10k INR for X10 (faulty)
cause a new battery itself will cost u 1500 to 2500 INR... and that doesnt include any hardware repairs (if its out of warranty)... otherwise that another 500 INR (labor/repair center charges) + cost of actual parts used...

Buy the s2 or the g3 not the x10 the x10 is the last bullsh*t

[Q] Buy another HD2 or SENSATION time?

Hi all. I'm asking for the expert opinion of all the xda ogs. I bought an HD2 about 5 months ago off ebay for almost full price. And now it won't start (I tried everything). Sent it to htc repair center in Texas.
Now my question is: If it costs more than 150 to repair the phone, I'll probably just buy a new one instead of repairing it to have better peace of mind. Should I get another HD2, this time brand new from amazon for 299, or should I get an HTC sensation for abouit 540?
I really don't see myself using the dual core cpu that much, but the higher megapixel camera would be much more badass, and I do take alot of pictures.
Any productive opinions are welcome.

You say your HD2 will not start, so did it just start this or were you flashing something and it did this after the flash? If so what were you flashing? I ask this cause it sounds like you have bricked your HD2 and that is fixable for a third of the 150 dollars you suggested.
Now as for your Sensation question I don't really have any advice for you as I am currently wrestling with what device to upgrade too myself. And the Sensation is like one of the top devices I am looking at.

I have the same question...my HD2 is also gone for repair and I was thinking of selling it..once I get it back...but the problem is HD2 still allows you to do so much...there is no other phone like it quite yet...there is also possibility of DFT still releasing new version of MAGLDR for wp7 mango which you never know, it maybe good enough for daily driver...
I'm in same dilema...still not decided though
However, instead of sensation I was thinking of buying TMO G2X (LG optimus 2x)...You can get a new one for ~ $350-400 on eBay compared to sensation which is almost $500-600 now...
Compared to sensation it has better camera and no death grip issues, while you lose out on High res screen and Sense UI (which is quite good in its 3rd installment but i think I can manage with cm7, as I was using that on my hd2)

blah, seems like the Sensation has way too many issues right now. I wouldn't be able to stand having dust underneath my screen. Or death grip.
At 299 right now, the HD2 seems like the best value. 4.3 inch screen, and I could flash a new rom every week if I wanted.
What I really want is the samsung S2 of course, but it's still almost 700 on amazon.
I just wish they had another phone for about 300 with a bigger screen (I prefer 5 inch lol) and a better camera.
Best advice of all is to wait if I can. Prices will drop quickly, and maybe the next batch of sensations will be better built.

I'm due an upgrade next month (or if O2 won't match/beat Vodafone's tarriffs it'll be in 4 months when I jump ship) and so far the Sensation is the only thing that appeals to me.
Tried one out in CPWH yesterday and was impressed, no lag, no stutters.
That's a UK based version though, and from what people say about the phones over in the US, your carriers add a load of bloat that can affect performance.
My HD2 will go to my fiancee to replace my old HD.
I will miss the ability to make calls without having to go to the home screen, but I'll get used to it.

HTC Sensations and LG 2X have already sold in Jakarta.
Next week, 23 July, Samsung will launch Galaxy S2 at Pacific Place, Jakarta, with the special price starting from Rp4.1 Mio (USD 500 - 600)
I think it is reasonable price, considering the specs
I remember that I bought HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) at Rp10.5 mio (USD1.100) when it was launched
I heard that Sensation has a death grip issue. So, You might consider waiting till the price of Galaxy S2 drop
Cheers

If you still want to stay with HTC and don't mind a single-core phone, there's always the Desire HD. Same sized screen, but more RAM (same as Sensation but less than SGS2) and newer generation of Snapdragon. It also has a 8MP sensor but I don't know how that compares to the one on the Sensation. It's also about $100 cheaper too. I see one right now that is actually the Inspire 4G but it is unlocked and that is like only $400. I would buy that buy I think my HD2 will last me maybe until the end of this year and then I might move on to Virgin Mobile or something and keep the HD2 as a test phone and for traveling.

Man, you can pick up hd2s for less than 200 on Craigslist... why would you spend 150 on a repair?
even sensations go for 350 max... flippin' eck...

Sensation is far superior to g2x, trust me on this, I've owned both...HD2 is still the most enjoyable experience to be had..

[Q] Cheapest Trustworthy Site IN UK

Hey everyone.
Currently have a HTC Hero. Want to get the Desire Z/G2.
Does anyone know any good priced UK sellers?
So far my best option seems to be Play.com, just wondering if its available elsewhere for cheaper?
Ive googled but most of the sites Ive never heard of/seen/or used before so I am a bit edgy...
Cheers everyone! Hopefully Ill be a proper member of the G2/Desire Z brigade soon!
(No, Im not going to import it unless someone can give me a really really really good reason to)

Its a good phone,I got mine off amazon but in the space of 2 days went up in price by 50 quid!
Nothing against amazon but as I found out when I tried to transfer my phone insurance over they would not touch it as they class Amazon as a "2nd hand" dealer even though they sell new stuff as well,good service and I thought 250 for it new was fair, just be mindful about the insurance angle

Thanks! Thats why I didnt want to import really, most insurers will class it as a 'grey import' and not touch it (Ive had the same with camera equipment)
Im guessing Play would be treated as not being a 2nd hand dealer surely...?
I would get a second hand one, but not sure what versions will be locked down and unrootable (if there are versions that are locked down?)... A couple are available locally on gumtree etc for between £190-£210, I wouldnt get insurance, but Ive always babied my Mobiles so may just go without...hmm...

A bonus of getting a second hand one may be that it is easier to root,i think the newer phones were causing problems to root(I think they have sorted it out) I know what worked for me,
Hopefully welcome to the Desire Z brigade

If I were you, this late in the life of the Desire Z, I'd just buy a refurb unit or used from another person. It's really not worth the price that they will be charging online at this point.
Not sure about the UK market for DZ's, but in the US the going price for a used G2 is in the $200-$250 range.

I brought my dz from www.handtec.co.uk. they seem trustworthy and prices were very good.
The XDA app now has a thanks button. Please use it

I have seen them on simply electronics website in UK for 248 pound brand new, i bought a camera from the same website and had no problem.

I'm sure I had an email last week from either Expansys or Dabs which had a DZ for just over £200. Can't find the email at the moment, I will check tomorrow.

Bought my desire z off amazon too...amazon prices change every now and then..I got mine when it was 250 I dont think it usually goes any lower.

Found the email, Expansys were offering the DZ for £280 sim free but it shows up as discontinued now. Though they B grade stock for the same price.

Thats ridiculously over priced, sorry but no thanks. Im thinking in the low 100s. Most are used and new ones are hard to come up on. I currently have an Epic 4G Touch, but it isnt the same as a HD2.
