Without getting banned I'd thought I would ask the question first!
If I had a new XDA Trion for sale, could I advertise it here rather than put it on eBay?
I've done a quick search through the forum & couldn't find any rules.
Thanks

It is good that you asked, alot of people think that trying to sale you phone on here is not good. But i think that sometime it is ok, but then sometimes not!!!
I think that if you write some thing and let it go for people to read, then ok, but some people i have seen will try and keep it at the top of the list and it just bugs people!!!
But if you are nice and dont bug people, i dont think anyone would moan about it!!!
so a long story short, i would do it but if some one does not like it, take it out!!!

There is truth in what Funman says. In general we do not allow selling of devices on the forum except now and again when someone is letting it be known their older device is now for sale. Occasionally it's ok on a device specific board if it's for spare parts. Also I think it best that such adverts are kept away from device specific boards and put in General or Off Topic. If I were you I would PM Flar our admin for official guidance.

Thanks for the advise. I think I'll just eBay it. I don't want to risk getting banned!
Thanks again.

Wow awesome feedback cbunting....since this is your first ppc i would say just mess around with the settings a bit, poke around the device get familiar with it, come up with questions and stuff and ask them on forums like this one, or just read around them, heck even brick it once or twice if thats way it takes to learn more. here are a couple of links you might find useful
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ - lots of useful pocket pc software
http://www.wm6themes.com/- only place i know of to get decent windows mobile 6 themes

Im not going to be an a$$ like the other guy,but it is true that you will get more help if you type in relatively complete sentences and actually spell out words. Abbreviating 4 for "for" may make sense on texting without a keyboard,but for everywhere else,it comes off very poorly. In fact,its rather irritating to most people. In any event,there should be plenty of useful info here. You can also find a lot of useful information just by searching on Google. Thats how I ended up here.
After a week of pondering I decided to buy myself the Sprint Mogul. The final decision rested between the new tilt and the mogul, and I simply couldn't look past Sprint's amazing SERO plans.
Hopefully I can avoid some of the problems people have had here with their Moguls! (I got the insurance plan just in case...)
M.r. perfect

In response to cbunting i think you meant to write learn how to type. You should make sure you don't make yourself look stupid when attempting to ridicule someone else for asking for help. It's very unproductive and a waste of a post.
Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.
I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look
Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..
So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week!
any comments?
sounds like you know a very stupid person.
Well done.
Now post again when you get your vibrant.

Congrats I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?
No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.
$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...
BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.
EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...
Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !
Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:
"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"
If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!

Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.
Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.

nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...
But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.

Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.
Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.
I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.
It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.
OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.
Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.
Awesome !!!
Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry
Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum... If everyone start sharing what a good deal they got out of their phones the whole forum will make nonsense. And it will be hard to find helpfull things.. I hope you all understand what I'm standing for....

I am not sure what you are standing for but sure is not this community ....
EDIT:
May sound like I am insulting you but I am not trying to , I am just trying to explain , IMHO, the "General" Vibrant forum really is for anything concerning a Vibrant, chat, tips & tricks, etc, by its definition, and this thread would qualify as chat.

Hey Thanks to all of you who supported me and backed me up, But honestly the only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that ive been around xda for quite some time now, being part of all android forums relating to GSM Devices starting from the g1, so i truly know whats right and wrong, and where things go of course....
Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...
Anyway this is my last post as i dont want to keep bumping this thread as the thread has been read and seen by others and i have had the comments and opinions i asked for... Once again thanks to you guys and the mods who helped clean up the mess))))

You are welcome...but this thread has had its fun...it is now closed.
I found this add on craigslist
he is charging $25 to just install android on HD2, I dont know if its right or not???
He's basically scamming you of something you can do for free.
You're already on XDA, how easy is it to use the search function and learn to do it yourself? Also, you have a variety of rom's to pick from ... and I don't think 25 dollars is right. What would developers think when they find out their work is being sold for profit.
My advice, don't.
Thats my point exactly, how would developers feel when their hard work is being sold without even informing them????
About me I already had tried android on my HD2 and right now happily using WP7 rom on my HD2.
My main point was can't we do anything to stop people like this making money from others hardwork
How many of these threads do there have to be?
He's not selling android, he's not selling the dev's work, read what it says, he's selling a service of putting it on to someone's phone. You'd be surprised how many people are still wary to touch their device in-case something goes wrong, so paying someone else who knows how it's done is no issue at all, people buy and sell services to each other every damn second of the day, this is no different.

FYI I am not flaming XDA with junk, I just wanted to make sure that XDA members are okay with this kind of services.
I owe a lot to XDA and because of XDA I am in love with my gadgets.
If everyone is okay with these kind of services, then I dont have any problem.
Well do a search and you would of seen dozens of threads just like this

As it stands, it seems like you're advertising for him.

I am not advertising for anyone, and I believe that whoever has clicked on that link is a XDA member, and I dont think that any XDA member would give someone $25 to install android on their HD2, instead they will do it on their own as lots of information is available on XDA forums.
I kept the link so that if someone from XDA need to take action against that guy, they can go through that link. But as everyone is okay with this type of services I am removing the link.
I would also like MOD's to delete this thread as it is of no use now.
Sorry once again to everyone if I have made any mistake by creating this new thread
Thank you for drawing my attention to that.

Seriously backlashsid, calm down. The OP was simply stateing his aggravation over people selling developers hard work, we at XDA are all aggravated by this, but it cannot be stopped. The OP did nothing wrong.
I don't keep my phones long. I'm just looking for suggestions on where to post a "For Sale" ad that'll attract the type of people that'd be interested in a device like this? (ie xda users and other forum users) Is there a forum out there that still has a classifieds section? Kinda sucks that xda's is gone. I'd post it locally, but I believe that the lack of knowledge among the normal phone using population would be a wash. Most people who ask what kind of phone it is say "who makes it, Samsung"? after I tell them oneplus one.
Thanks
Sorry if I hurt anybodies feelers for posting this.

Swappa
I know it's not a forum, but you could post it on http://www.swappa.com. A decent amount of phones they sell on there are unlocked and running custom ROMs, and I think site is affiliated with XDA somehow, so that would probably be a decent place to post it.
Thanks. Never heard of swappa.

Thread closed. There used to be an xda marketplace where people could buy and sell devices but it was closed because there were a lot of problems...scams and just people complaining, haggling, etc. So now the go to place for people from xda looking to sell or buy a used device is swappa.
