I haven't had the Nexus for a month yet, so I was wondering if you guys think Best Buy would let me trade in the Nexus for the Galaxy S 2?
And if they would accept it, could someone lead me on how to unroot it and lock the bootloader?
Nevermind, my Best Buy doesn't even have one in stock.

Hi I have a nexus one for sell or trade for samsung galaxy i9000 or Vibrant.
The phone is going for $500.00 OBO
Contact me for more details thanks.
try the xda market...never mind since you wouldn't qualify with just 1 post.
Funny I replace a vibrant for a nexus. Couldn't stand the lag issue even with lagfix. Still have it tho praying froyo would fix lag issues

please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?

You are asking this in a Nexus S forum? What do you think our answer will be?
Do your research and get the phone that you want. We can't tell you what to get.
shop phones based on your carrier network frequency
it's useless to have a phone that can't do 3G/4G
Atrix is AT&T so you'd have to get one from the US and unlock it, which will be expensive if you don't go in person.
You're on rogers, you can't use the Nexus S on 3G until the AT&T version comes out which is probably soon, but no one knows.
SGS 2 is nice, but when do you realistically think it'll hit the US, let alone Canada?
You're in the Nexus S forums so of course people will be biased here. Most of us got a Nexus S knowing it would be a clean, stock android experience with no bloatware and lots of development and tweaking/hacking potential. Personally I'm done with carrier phones, the bloatware is insane. I've had a T-mo Vibrant and MT4G and I got rid of them within a month of use and went back to my Nexus One until the Nexus S came out. It's similar to buying a Dell desktop with a bunch of bloatware installed vs. building your own PC and having a nice clean system that you know is unaltered by some other goon. =)
How do i trade my unrooted mytouch 4g with tmobile for a Nexus S? do i have to pay to do it ? how can i do it without paying and what are some good reasons to do it?
The only way they trade is if you've had multiple defective devices. Even then it's rare you'll get a decent phone, although you could go to retention and say your going to cancel if you don't get a decent phone.. But I mist ask why would you want to switch from the MT4G to the Nexus S? it's so much better
the buttons on the mytouch4g dont work sometimes, the trackpad doesnt click, i also got the bad screen
Last time I tried to exchange my MT4G they offered me a Vibrant S 3G because they were out of stock. I highly doubt they would give you a Nexus S in exchange. They usually downgrade in that situation. (I personally think you should be upgraded if they run out of stock)
the only thing the vibrant has over the MT4G is the screen.. im not gonna give up all of the nice hardware in the MT4G for a screen lol im gonna see if i can get the nexus s tomorrow though im gonna call tmobile
I doubt you could ever trade for a Nexus S from T-Mobile since they do not sell the phone directly. Afaik it is only available on the T-Mobile network through Best Buy.
So how would i get the nexus s?
You won't be able to do it through T-Mobile. T-Mobile doesn't sell the Nexus S. Even if they did, I can't even fathom a circumstance where they would "trade". Your only option will be to sell you MT4G on Craigslist and use that money to buy a Nexus S on Craigslist. The only way you'll get upgrade pricing on the Nexus S is if you are eligible to renew and you do it through Best Buy.
Could always use best buy trade in. You wont get the cash you want, but it'll help you buy your nexus s outright since you can't upgrade.

Yeah man just go through Craigslist. I might be heading that way and trading in my myTouch 4G.
IDK man... its going to be real hard. I cant really think of a way to do it other than what the previous posts have said.
eh i guess the mt4g is good but i want to get one with the good screen, when i send it to them do they send me a brand new one or a used one?

You will not be able to call up t-Mobile and exchange the phone.
1) T-Mobile doesn't sell the Nexus S phone. Best Buy has exclusive rights to it.
2) T-Mobile will not simply allow you to trade in phones for another phone.
3) You have to have a legitimate reason to file a warranty claim on your phone. At that point you will only get a MyTouch 4G replacement. If that should happen a few times they will offer you a "like deceive" which in this case will be the Samsung Galaxy S model. Not the Nexus S you are looking for. And each warranty replacement will cost you ~ 130.00. So you are looking @ 360.00 just in warranty fees.
Just sell your device on Craigslist or eBay then buy your Nexus S. That is the only way besides buying the device outright for full price.
You can call T-mobile Executive Customer Care and leave a message. A T-mobile exec customer care agent will return your call within two weeks to attempt to resolve the problem (give a free phone without contract extension). However this will only work if you've done multiple handset exchanges for the same phone model. I exchanged a Motorola Defy 4 times due to a variety of problems and Executive Customer Care called me and basically asked me how I would like them to resolve this issue and I told them I want a better phone. And they asked me which one and I told them a Mytouch 4g (the newest phone they had at the time) and they said no problem and sent it out the next day. Hope it helps.
Hey XDA. I recently got my nexus 4 stolen around the 3rd of December. I immediately called my insurance company (Asurion since I'm on tmobile) and they told me that they would place the phone on backorder. Well it's been over a month tat I've been without a phone and neither Asurion nor tmoile know when they will be receiving more nexus 4's. Asurion offered me a Galaxy S3 in place of my nexus 4. I know the galaxy is a very powerful smartphone on par with the nexus but I still enjoyed my nexus. I don't know if I should take the galaxy s3 or wait unti god knows when to get my nexus back?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
On par? No. The U.S. version is dual core and the phone is over 6 months old. Although, you could sell it and use the money to buy direct from Google.

I would take it sell it and buy a nexus 4 from eBay. You'll never get one from Google
sent from one of the NEXUS twins 4 or 7.....
"On par"? Honestly? Not even close in my book but hey, to each his/her own, right?
I personally wouldn't accept the deal. But if you're desperate, and I mean REALLY desperate, do as the others suggest: take the S3, sell it and buy an N4 on eBay or Craigslist. (Buyer beware.)
Expect to pay the Piper $450-550 for an N4... Good luck.

I had a Galaxy s2 and now... I have a Google Nexus 4 love it but it's on HSPA + for AT&T and I hate that about it..
I have a choice..
Come to the Moto X or Goto the Samsung Galaxy S4..
Can anyone tell me about their experience with the S4 what you love and hate about it what someone learns after buying it, if you could would you buy it again?

Could also wait till tomorrow and see how the S5 will be.
As for the S4, I like it. Even with touchwiz, I found it fairly smooth. I do have to say the locked bootloader sucks so I will probably buy the google edition, international version or even the Nexus next time. I wont buy the S4 from at&t if I had to buy another one now.
Go with the nexus 5. You'll love it. The att s4 has a locked bootloader and it's very difficult to root and flash anything on it

Yes the main issue being a "LOCKED BOOTLOADER" was my major complaint. Nexus 5 bud is what I would choose over and over in the Twilight Zone

I agree with jd and jball. If you are a flashaholic this isn't the phone unless you can pick up an MDL build somewhere. If not a flasher, wait a little and check out S5 as mentioned. It will still be locked down though. An S4 MDL build is a great phone.
Do you possibly still have that file ? It was removed from the OP
