Greetings all,
I have been a long Time fan and browser of XDA, I hardly Post on here cause pretty much all my questions get answered by the allmighty "Search" button.
Well anyway, I have had my Incredible for Over a Year, It is one of the Originals that came with the Super Amoled Screen.
I Am switching to T-mobile with a Family Plan, Verizon is just gonna be too expensive... Considering their new Data plans...
So I will be selling my Droid Incredible, Which is currently Rooted and Running CM7. It is in Great condition, everything works... I like to take care of my things, especially if they are expensive.
So I was Wondering What would be a good price to sell my phone? I dont have the box, or Stock Charger, I have a regular wall charger.
Just thought I'd let you know the Sensation was free online last night for new customers. I think it was only a three hour sale. Midnight-3AM

No more than $100. For a phone that already has a sequel, most people aren't going to be interested in buying it.
I paid $120 for mine locally off CL about two weeks ago.
I paid $100 for mine about a month or two ago,used but in excellent condition.

yeah i seen that current verizon customers will be granfathered in the unlimited plans.
but their Family plans are expensive as hell. I got the Tmobile family plan for me and my GF, paying only $160. which isnt bad... considering it's unlimited everything.
But I will be selling my Droid Inc for $100.
I also have a G2 thinking of selling that one for $180 or so...
Just trying to pay my damm ETF >.<
that's crazy dude...i'm on a family plan of 3 phones, mine being hte only smart phone, and it's $120 a month..if we added a second data, that'd still only be 150...you're paying more than i would if i had your plan haha
*edit* my bad, i forgot my stuffs not unlimited lol
Used ones are >$150 on eBay and only the bad ESN ones sell for around $100. $100 for one with a good ESN is a bargain.
I sold one of mine for $225, but I guess that was a few months ago.

yeah im not having much luck on craigslist... I have it listed for$120... the phone has a clean ESN and everything... it's rooted, running CM7... what more would you want..
I dunno if i should up the price though... cause it has no scratches on the screen and it has a case.
Yeah that's what I don't want happening. So I'm telling peeps I will get rid of it by Tuesday
.. which is when ill get my new phone.
So far someone offered $140.
I'm selling my gf's g2 as well for $200.
So that will cover the etf and activation fees.

I think you will get more for it (~$200) on bendoverBay, even paying the 12% overhead might still be worth it.

we should probably go above and beyond to make sure motorola doesn't discover that yous guys have basically provided me with a way to justify the price of a lapdock, i mean, otherwise they're gonna "upgrade" it, and jack the price up over tablets...tablets that don't require a 500 dollar attachment
look at this
http://www.google.com/search?q=moto...gc.r_pw.&fp=718c35d66707d000&biw=1152&bih=567
you see how dramatically the price varies? what in **** is going on with this thing? is it going to be a thing, or something fanboys hoard knowing damn well i won't give them a ****ing dime?
just my thoughts
Im thinking about doing the 175 for the refrub on the at&t website. I doubt it'll go lower than that.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
the att website has it for 175
EDIT:
damn, got beat to it
so new lapdocks are $299 while refurbs are $175.
why... do many online retailers and such show lapdocks at more than $299?
should they not adjust their prices to what the current price from the manufacturer is?
i understand that people sell their items for what they want.
but it just doesn't make sense to overprice something that you don't want to keep. it's like when you buy a car. as soon as it gets driven off the lot, it's worth less. it never increases in value.
unless it becomes a classic or something.
Just be on the lookout for a good deal. I just sold mine on CL for $150...
Lol, just checked on Craigslist vegas, a guy selling it fot $400, and he's giving a link with $499 brand new. Better include the phone with it on that price

Yeah, feels worse when shelling out $600 bucks originally for it and also have a 2 year contract with VZW at $27.38 monthly for 3 gigs of data.
So $600 for the Tablet and $657.12 for 2 years of data.
$1,257.12
I use wifi mostly also dammit lol
The price we pay to get something first.
Thankfully i use Wifi tether. I also plug my company aircard to my Xoom which is unlimited and paid for by my employer.

Totally ordered this yesterday. Order status says shipped but no tracking #.
$199 is quite the deal, even when you factor in the data package (which I wanted).
$30 * 12 = $360 a year is definitely doable for 4G LTE. (Not including taxes and regulatory fees, of course!)

How much data do you get for that?
I jumped all over this on Black Friday. I have wanted a Xoom for a long time to go with my Nexus S but the price was always prohibitive. It wasn't the data plan so much as the cost of the actual hardware. $199 for the 32 GB 4G+WiFi version was a no brainer.
Told this to my gf and then found out sake had ended. She texted back with
Last night I found she ordered it for me!
I'm gonna miss my ipad and the unlimited data though
Is it 3 gigs or 2 for that 30 dollar plan? I'll pay the 10 bucks for a gig if I have to I guess...
Oh and I hope it's got 4g enabled! I'd hate to send it back to have it upgraded

It's a better price than $299 + $720 commitment. For someone who only wants a WiFi Xoom, yes, this is not a deal. For those of us who want data somewhere other than WiFi hotspots though, this was a great deal on hardware cost alone.

I bought one for my daughter. She is loving it in Texas. For what she uses it for there was no need to wait for a quad core version, and the newer Xooms that are going 1.2 GHZ I am already beating that with my overclocked Xoom at 1.6 GHZ.
Let us all remember the Xoom is considered a Google developer reference device, which mean it should get ICS love earlier than any other original tablets.
I have the original Evo4G which I got almost 2 years ago. I haven't upgraded while on Sprint so I am wondering how it works. Last time I upgraded I had Verizon so it was a new every 2 type deal where I was getting a new phone for free. I see sprint gives a $150 credit. Does that mean I have to pay $400 for the new evo lte? Can someone shed some light on this before I go to the Sprint Store as I want to get the best deal I can without them bending me over. Thanks!
Ultimately you get more than 150 off. Basically the Evo lte will cost you 199 at sprint, as will any of their top tier phones. 199 is kind of sprints Max price on upgrade or new phone.
VZW gave em free, huh? Nice.
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
the phone will be 199. plus some BS fees. the total comes to about 225 bucks.
thanks guys, been wondering this myself as well
If your off contract eBay it up man, spend the extra as sprint makes you go a full two years without upgrade. plus you can get an international version which I'm pretty sure comes unlocked from HTC. That's how I got my og and it was unlocked in a sealed factory box.

Or try wirefly for 120 and then if u got AAA call them to get activation waived, if u really want to make the most of ur ur upgrade experience, call Sprint and ask if you have a Contract renewal bonus on ur account, if u do you can extend ur contract and get 50+ bucks, then go and buy a phone and sign a 2 yr contract, then 20 months latter do it again

International version won't work on sprint, and cdma devices can't be unlocked, that only works on GSM carriers I.e. T-Mobile and at&t just so you know before you go buying an unlocked international version of a device and then find out after you have it that it's not gonna work on your carrier in any way, shape or form

Besides not being tied to a contract, what are some of the benefits to buying unlocked phone - freedom to choose from multiple carriers? I live in ATL, and Sprint is about to release their LTE here, so my thought was to wait for the G S III when it's released.
Activation fees are $36. Check out their discount program, credit unions waive it.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
About the unlocked question, sprint has to load every esn into a database unlocked Intl or GSM only phones are not and therefore cannot be activated. If you buy a sprint phone on ebay make sure the esn is clear before buying. Sprint will be able to check the status for you.

Having never gotten a "brand new" phone before, I am curious about the timeline... I'm shocked we still don't know when the phone will be released - how hard is it to figure out when you want to release a phone?
So, with my impatience leading the charge here, how long was it between the EVO 4G pre-order and the actual release date? How about with the EVO 3D? Thanks everyone! I wish they would tell you upon pre-ordering.
Sprints upgrade discount is a complete lie!!!! Sprint customers who's contract just ran out will pay the same price as anyone just walking in and buying the phone. Now Verizon actually gives their customers, who's contract just ran out, and a discount. Verizon discount comes off the 2year contract price, and so you pay less than others starting a new contract. Sprint just makes the normal 2year contract discount $150 less than it really is, but then adds in your $150 upgrade discount; so the 2year contract price comes out to be the same. How ridiculous!!
When I left Verizon for Sprint 2 years ago I was excited that their 2year discount was more than Verizon's.. Just recently found out that I was wrong though, and you get NO 2year discount from Sprint in actuality.... If Sprint didn't have unlimited data, cheaper monthly plans, and carry better phones, then I might go back to Verizon. And sadly, as of lately Sprint is the best at getting in phones, AT&T seems to be getting the best devices for the last 6 months or so... AT&T coverage is a joke in my area, and I'd probably pay twice as much as I do with Sprint every month, or they would be my current choice of carrier.....
I am from Canada and I'm with bell. I see all this people ordering phones for the price of 680$ and i can't help to ask myself if all those ppl are not on any contract. Because if you are in a 2 or 3 year contract you'll pay 200$ for the phone....So. If you are in a contract and are ordering the s3 please post your reasons please.
One of the reasons can very well be that there is a good flow of money and allows to get phones every year

Yep.. I hear ya. I just recently ran my contact out. Bought my GS2 for full price and didn't resign. Now I'm buying the GS3 with no contract.

Cuz my current phone is absolutely uselessly unreliable but if i cancel my contract i will lose my unlimited data which is basically impossible to get now for the price i am paying.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
You can try getting your current contract phone unlocked, sell it, then buy the sg3 (or a newer phone in general) to replace it.
In general contracts are more expensive than their prepaid alternatives (that's the point of having them). They also ensure that you're locked-in. This is why getting something that does not have you extend your contract is preferable. At the end of the day, however, the only way to tell if it's worth it is to do the math and determine whether that's a price you're willing to pay for a $400 discount.
Youhit it right on the head.....a good flow of money allows me to buy 2 to 3 phones a year. so i bought the Note Lte, then im getting the international SGSIII, i will then switch back to LTE when the Note 2 comes out later this year I hope.
i love my phones and tablets........cant wait for the next big break on Tabs. My Prime is gathering dust....lol

I'm in the UK on giffgaff. The network gives you payback for referrals and community help. It's paying me a fair bit this way, more than enough to cover the cost of the phone and topups
In Austria there are some really cheap bargain-contracts where you pay ~10€ per month for EVERYTHING (1gb, 1000 texts, 1000 minutes). These contracts also don't come with the obligation to stay at the network-provider for 24 months or so. The only thing: With these contracts you don't get an expensive phone cheaper, you need to buy it for the full price on the market.
But all in all you're on the cheaper side with these bargain contracts than with the normal contracts, because with normal contracts you pay about 20 to 50€ for the same service! If you calculate for 24 months, it's actually a bit cheaper when you buy the phone on the market for full price. With the advantage that you don't have any obligation to stay at this provider.
I'm in the US under AT&T, my contract is up in June. The reasons I'm getting the Int. S3 are:
- Won't be released in the US until later in the Summer
- Won't have to extend my AT&T contract
- Retain my AT&T phone upgrade discount (in case any come out I want)
- US version will be inferior to the Int. in many ways IMO (other than LTE)
- higher re-sale value
Those are the main reasons.
This is a re-post of something i posted up on another S3 thread:
yyhd said:
meeh, i dont mind waiting, but some of us have more than 1 spare phone available. others dont. so in that case, i'm right there with ya.
but on the other hand, $10 AT&T medianet is a no-brainer for me.. I'll buy an iPhone or an AT&T HOX on AT&T upgrade/contract for $199 and sell it on XDA MP or Craigslist for $600. That's $400 profit. International SGS3 is $700, less the $400 for the sold AT&T HOX. That's $300 out of pocket for an international SGS3.
Then take AT&T's 3gb data plan of $30 per month, multiply that by 24 and I get $720. VERSUS AT&T's medianet unlimited data plan for $10 per month, multiply by 24 and I get $240.
$720 minus $240 is $480. Take $480 and apply that towards the $300 you have left on the SGS3 after i've sold my AT&T HOX. I'm still out on top $180 (unless i did my math wrong, which im prone to do often lol)
This is my rational for getting an international SGS3.

I'm on Sasktel. Sasktel chooses to shaft it's user base again and again.
What's different now? Oh yeah. COMPETITION! I can pop over to Rogers, Bell, Telus, Fido, Koodo...but that damn contract...that's the pain.
So, I figure when it comes out, I can buy either the bell OR sasktel version outright, slap it on Sasktel, and wait until next year to move.
I'm seriously debating the Expansys one though. If I pre-order a 16GB right now, it will be mine in no time at all.
That way...come September 2013, I can move, get a new phone for my wife for cheap (her needs aren't nearly the same as mine), get whatever latest greatest then, and turn around and sell my still amazing SGS3 for $400-$500 bucks, and my new contract didn't cost me a cent.
Because people don't want to be tied into contracts. In the UK 24 months seems the norm where as as few years ago 12 month contracts where widely available.
2 years is a long time, especially if the network you are on has poor signal and such. Most plans have poor amounts of data, but the likes of Three offer unlimited data for £34pm and free phone, however signal can be an issue on Three. And I myself have terrible speeds previously on Three.
So buying outright and then a sim only route does not tie you down, you can sell 12 months down the line and get half your money back if the phone value holds, it'll be worth more than say 2 years down the line. This method does work out more expensive but it's worth it if you keep updating all the time.
Im getting the international version because I think ATT is the devil reincarnated and I hear good things about T-Mobile but Im not sure I want to sign a 2year contract with them since Im already signed with Sprint. The only thing that makes me weary of pulling the trigger on the pre-order is I just ordered the Evo 4g LTE and my money is tied up with that and Im not sure if the US version is getting the 2gb of RAM like the Japanese version. Im just not sure wich I would rather have Quad Core Exynos or Duals core S4 with 2gb or Ram. Plus I plan on stepping up my international travel game this year and it would be nice to have a phone that I would be able to just pop a sim card in and no hassle.
Despite its poor software and being unlocked anyway im still keeping this current phone just for media playback.
I use it to play tunes from samba shares on a wifi harddrive between bands (i do sound) cuz its way more portable than a laptop but it means i cant really use the phone at all while im working. Bit of an oversight selling my previous one when i got this really.
