What phone should I trade Vibrant for?

I have two vibrants and I want to trade one of them in for another phone. What good phones am a able to trade in for?
If you get lucky, a mytouch 4g or g2. I was recently attempting to trade mine and had the most difficult time finding anyone with an equivalent phone without requiring me to throw in cash. Everyone turned me down when they found out it wasnt "the 4g vibrant" .... I'd respond that there isnt a 4g vibrant. Etc... it was such a pain, but I ended up getting an hd2 plus cash for the vibrant.
Btw, completely happy with the hd2. I wouldnt say its better or worse, both have their downsides, but im not regretting this phone. I still have my wife's vibrant, so I'm not missing out on anything.

A nexus one would be good deal too.

G2 for sure. I went from vibrant to g2 and if your into the xda scene, its a night and day difference. 90% less brats on the g2 forums also and no dev's dropping left and right like I know they were a couple months ago when I was here.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I traded mines for an hd2+120 couldn't be happier, but I installed an ffc on my vibrant so I just said it was a 4g.
Where are you guys finding these trade offers, because I for one am getting tired of the vibrant and the community as well. :/

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm not sick of my Vibrant I just believe that change is good and I have two Vibrants so if I miss it I can still use. I'm just lost about what phone to get....

This is about i9000 galaxy s, not the epic or other galaxy s.
BUT, its still good news as we might also get this.

It is linking of WiFi devices to each other without the need of the well known middle man: the router. Seems logical to expect this feature in our phones...right?

Idk but my phone will connect to my wifes phone running her 4g and wireless tether... don't know if that is what they were talking about... I do it all the time though cuz she gets good 4g in the house and I do not
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
If you set up two rooted epics with wireless tether you can run the wifi file transfer on the phone you want the files from while running wifi tether simultaniously you can send files 1.5kbps to each other without a router. Juss sayin
Edit: its kinda of a ***** but it works

Ya I get what your saying but my phone gets great speed off of my wifes evo 4g... I have epic 4g... I get better download and upload speeds running wifi off her wireless tether than I do from just my phone

Actually it is. They both cost the same price, they both have almost the same hardware, and the Epic is a better phone as fast as multimedia. Video recording in 720p and way better camera software/libs. I rather the ns for development. If I rathered the multi media features the Epic would win out. That's why I kept both phones. I use the nexus as a phone and carry the Epic to do video and listen to music so I think its a fair trade.

I believe right now the ns4g is 460 off contract the epic was 540 so its actually more. Epic is a great phone but laggy with the bloat and carrier iq present luckily theres roms out to fr ix that. im currently working on an aosp build for it from 2.3.4 source which should put it on a level playing field with the nexus. GB leaks for the epic are greatly improving the phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
That's the thing. I'm moving out the country and canceling my contract very soon. Wanted a GSM phone... guess this was the wrong place for that. But I posted in the mktpl as well as the ns forums (GSM). But I would take a cdma version because of the aosp. Regardless I like my phone. Doesn't seem like anyone wants to take me up on my offer

Try to trade locally for an unlocked Vibrant or HD2. The Dev support for those phones are ridiculously large. You could also sell the epic on craigslist for $200 then use that to buy an unlocked t-mobile android phone (Vibrant/Mytouch 4g/G2/HD2) if someone won't trade.
Personally I would sell the epic then buy a vibrant. The vibrant has HSPA bands you could use in europe and has aosp/cm7 roms similar to what the Nexus S runs. It is also easily unlocked by everyday users without having to pay a dime, so you can save money by buying a locked vbrant and unlocking it yourself.
Just keep trying OP...
I trade lots of stuff online. I remember trying to trade an Elite 360 for a 60gb BC PS3...I tried and tried and wrote over 10 people every day for a month until I found someone that said yes. It may take some time but you will adventually find someone that is willing to do it.
I wish someone would take my infuse for an i9020a :*( you guys have amazing dev support and roms...I'm so jealous!

To all the awesome Fascinate Devs!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the devs for all the hard work and the fun you've givin me with customizing my fassy. I'm switching to the Incredible 2 because of the many issues I've had with the missed calls and bad signal. I was offered the phone brand new free of charge with an extended battery for 42$ and a month of free service. I know it may not be as much fun as the fassy because I don't believe its rooted just yet, but right now i need a phone that has the functionality of a phone. So again, thank you all for the awesome roms/themes/tweaks you've offered and I hope i'll be seeing you all again when the S2 comes out.

Wait wait wait. Did you use an upgrade to get the inc2 or they offered it? I'm getting tired of the missed call thing.

I believe brand new. i was kinda in shock so I didnt really care to ask but he said it has no battery or back cover so he hooked it up with the extended one for 10 bucks off. and as far as the 4g stuff, none of them interest me.
If it did have a battery or cover, it is refurbished. I was thinking of making the jump to the Dinc 2 as well. Am going to wait for some roms to come out first though.
Oh, and it has achieved S-off, but whoever figured out hasn't released how to to it yet.

Wouldn't the wimax network have allot less users when everyone starts moving to LTE? Shouldn't that make wimax faster until they kill it off?

I only care about coverage and unlimited data.
Wimax is not going away.
Neither Sprint nor Verizon has Spectrum capacity to meet demand. Clear Does.

What use will I have for the phone when I get its replacement? Anything the Epic4g can do, my new phone can do better and faster. Might give the epic4g to a family member or hopefully microsoft brings back its stupid smoked by windows phone challange this summer and I can get a new one of those for free in trade and then sell it. Most likely though it would sit in a drawer for a year in case I need a backup phone and then into the garbage.
