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..

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

Does the a and t stand for the carriers? Obviously att and T-Mobile?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
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?

Well to be honest I don't know for sure. But you would assume so or its a huge coincidence (sp).

Yes, that is what the 'A' stands for.
Thanks, what do you guys think about price, seems reasonable?

I paid $399 on eBay for my sealed I9020A and feel it was worth it. I had a SGSII as well and chose the Nexus S due to AOSP and hate for touchwiz.

I had the Captivate before and hated it, I'm solely sold on AOSP, he just messaged me back saying I could just look up a picture, said he's had it for 2 weeks and its still in the box

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?

Def sounds odd, I would look elsewhere

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..

So... I would walk into a store with said seller. Tell them we traded phones. They verify that both accounts are active and the esns are clean I assume? If everythings good then thy would just switch phones on the account for you? Would I be able to keep equipment protection?

Call sprint from a separate phone and do an esn swap from your phone to nexus then have him activate or whatever he wants to do with the phone you give him. of course you will both have to be together when you do this. Just make sure you can activate the nexus on your account and have sprint clear your old esn before you give him your phone. Sprint customer service can swap phones very easily over the phone, as long as you're not calling from ths phones you are dealing with.
I personally would feel weird going into a sprint store and take up their time when doing a phone trade like that. That's just me though.

It may sound stupid but my buddy got one and bought a case for it. The looks and feel of the nexus s with a case are PERFECT for me. Feels amazing in the hand with a case. Holding it reminds me of when I had my iPhone 3g. As much as I hated it it felt great in the hand. I could type one handed and type with very high accuracy with my eyes closed.

From what I've been told by a Sprint employee, it doesn't matter where you bought the phone. TEP covers any phone on your line. I have even told them that I bought the phone from someone on Craigslist.

So i filed a claim through asurion yesterday to replace my stolen phone and they told me that they no longer support the vibrant model and that they were going to upgrade me to a new model at the same deductible. it looks like there are no more vibrants through insurance. i will definitely miss my vibrant =(
Not good!!! Looks like ill be lookin on craigs list
Can you let us know which phone they send? Thank you.

Interesting thread. I purchased my Vibrant the 1st week when it released, and I bought the insurance. The T-Mobile rep told me that "when" they stopped supporting the Vibrant, ill get an updraged phone, if I pay the $100 bucks for the deductible. YES, they used that as a sales pitch to get me to buy the insurance.
Now, I use a G2, but my wife has my Vibrant. It will be interesting to know what they send you.

I got a new Vibrant through T-Mo just a few weeks ago. (GPS on it is great, btw.)
I think it's crazy that a year old device is already "unsupported." WTH?
yeah shows that tmobile really only cares about profits. this makes me think that the vibrant is not going to get any more updates. very sad. makes me really hesitate about buying phones from tmobile if they are not too worried about support
Yeah, the fact that Tmobile no longer supports a year old phone is the reason why I'm seriously considering buying the Galaxy Nexus out of contract even though I am not pleased with the features they released. I would much rather wait for the new Galaxy and a higher res screen but I don't want to take the risk of having support for that dropped too.
I did a warranty claim b/c my phone was not charging, i got a vibrant S and not a Vibrant 4gS....
Read my first post in detail brah. Mine was through insurance. Not warranty
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
I'm actually kind of bummed about the galaxy s 4g. There's no internal memory card, no CyanogenMod, and there are a lot more roms and modifications on the for the vibrant. The front facing camera is a neat addition but i hardly ever use it. I dont really see a difference as far as the 4g modem. It's pretty much the same for day to day usage for me.

Question.
I preordered my Evo 4g thru radio shack, and never had to deal with radio shack again. After purchase, everything (repairs, warranty issues, etc) was handled exclusively thru sprint (the way it should be, I think).
I know many bought thru best buy, and I seem to recall post saying those people had to have certain issues resolved solely by best buy. But I also seem to recall reading that best buy has a buy back plan or something.
Can anyone familiar with best buy report what any benefits/there may be to purchasing thru best buy?
Thanks.

in re: best buy, they do have their own replacement plan, no questions asked replacement. it cost $10/month. all rebates are instant not mail in. and they do have a buuy back program that isnt too bad. i never get it because you do have to pay for it and i dont remember how much it is. i have bought several phones from BB and had no trouble keeping my sprint TEP and doing all repairs/replacements through sprint/assurion.

I went with the HTC one s I've only used it for a day and so far my impressions. Beats audio sound is excellent, cameras is quick and beautiful, quadrant scores of about 5200, speakerphone is loud, battery is pretty darn good. But software... Definitely needs a custom rom. Lol why bother with the question you ask? I pretty much chose the one s because spec wise it is superior to the nexus BUT software wise the nexus will have the latest and greatest from Google....

If you have the money, ditch the contract man, it'll save you SO much money within 6 months, expecially if you buy the Nexus.
As for preference, i would have to go with the one s. I actually like sense so thats part of it (its freaking beautiful) but i like the size of it better. I don't need this massive brick of a phone lol. They are pretty much the same once your root them.
I'd do the one s.
The galaxy nexus from a carrier m. I wouldn't trust it for speedy updates

Ok good so the general feedback is the one s was the right choice.
I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but just like the sgs3 I'm sure it won't be no $99 lol
Lol I've always been against contracts, but nowadays the price of phones has skyrocketed lol I was actually thinking about the sgs3 until I saw the price tag.....on contract lol
No worries tonight at work my only mission is to root this bad boy. Lol
I won't lie I miss the trackball and menu key from our mytouch though.
Thanks for the opinions people.

I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but just like the sgs3 I'm sure it won't be no $99 lol
Lol I've always been against contracts, but nowadays the price of phones has skyrocketed lol I was actually thinking about the sgs3 until I saw the price tag.....on contract lol
No worries tonight at work my only mission is to root this bad boy. Lol
I won't lie I miss the trackball and menu key from our mytouch though.
Thanks for the opinions people.

Well either way. I'd say you didnt make a bad choice because if you end up liking the nexus, you can always sell the one s to help you out.

i'm sure Google is going to sell their new nexus devices at a fair price on Google Play like they did with the Galaxy Nexus.
Really?! Never heard of that....Something tells me it won't be available in Canada.
