How much can I get for my g2?

So I have a g2 that came from htc and has an imei flagged as a test phone. I was the first one with tethering and wifi calling and have gotten test OTAs since then. I'm getting the mytouch hd. You think my g2 is worth any more than normal?

Personally, I would not want it at all. Never know when they are going to send you a "special" OTA and do something that cannot be un-done.

Exactly. Without proof this is just more BS like the "test" OTAs that went out to like 2 phones a few weeks ago.

This op is one of the ones that got the OTA a few weeks ago. He never made it clear to anybody that it was a special test phone at that time (although he did state it didn't come from T-Mobile). This sent everyone into a tizzy thinking there was the possibility of an OTA for the masses being sent out.
That being said, I'd a pay a small premium for that phone over a standard G2. Risky as far as warranty goes, but that's true of anything you buy used I suppose.

name a price and we can negotiate. no low balling and no highway robberies

imho not more than a regular.
hopefully your phone isn't like some HD2s that have something crippled/missing/less ram, etc,,

Definitely not crippled. Everything works phenomenal.

I don't understand why this device is worth more, all it has is a test imei that allows for test otas. It's not like it's nand unlocked and can be broken into. No offense to the OP, but once we get the nand unlocked, people that root, won't be looking forward to OTAs, except for new releases of Android instead.

What magic can be done with it? Can it make my mortgage payment go down? Can it make my Ex-Wife disappear? Hell, maybe I would be interested as long as you have proof that it can do magic!

a cop was trying to pull me over, i took my sweet time before i pulled over, even sped up some. when i finally stopped he was pissed. he asked me "why didnt you pull over when i put on my lights, and you even sped up, are you crazy? you better have one good explanation". i replied: "well, sir, my ex-wife left me for a police officer, and i was speeding because i thought you were trying to bring her back". he cracked up, and let me on my way without a ticket.

Why would anybody buy a Vibrant brand new right now? It's been out almost a year, that's like comparing a 2010 Explorer with a 2011, which is a totally different body style. Of course T-Mo will keep the Vibrant priced high, because they want to sell the Sensation and upgrade as many data plans as they can.
As far as the Vibrant being epic, it overclocks well, has a great screen, awesome form factor, and does it's job nicely. That's pretty epic to me. But if you don't like it, hey, you don't have to. Go grab your sensation and join their forum

Funny thing. On the sensation forums people were complaining about the lock/unlock button being on the top instead of the side like the SGS.

[NEW HERE] Coming from Hero and Stopping to Say Hi

Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!

hello. nice to meet you

Welcome aboard. I would like to personally thank you for NOT starting a thread about how to root your phone.

c-had - You're welcome. I do my homework.
I am, HOWEVER, going through withdrawal lol. I was flashing my hero with a new rom daily there for a while. I'm bored haha.

Thanks popper..nice to meet you too

Welcome to the evo. Don't mind the trolls they seem to be in abundance these days. Might make me goto the 3d just for that reason.
As for the voice, I had that problem in a few roms. Idk what the problem was but after installing swiftkeyboard x its working fine on my current daily driver. I can't say it didn't work before becouse I didn't try it.

Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap. I just came from the here as well and the 3-D was only an option when I heard about the ram and dual core processor, after I messed with it for a while I was over it lol. Welcome man, its a good step in the right direction. The only way I would even consider going with a 3-d phone is once the whole 3-D option either plays out or gets much better.

Cm9 alpha release for shift???

I've seen posts about cm9 alphas in other threads. Has there not been one released for the shift? I guess these are compiles by folks but I haven't noticed one mentioned for the shift. I was just curious if any of you guys know of one or have ran one. Maybe I have overlooked it.

Evervolv uses a lot of the CM members source code. That's about as close to cm9 as your going to get for now.

toastcfh has been working on cm9 for the shift and the 3d but since hes a perfectionist (which is a great thing of course) he hasnt shared with anyone to try yet that im aware of. itll be worth the wait im sure

Rest assured, there will be a million threads about it on here when it's posted. He's working on it still.

By the time it's done and said most shifters will have moved onto newer phones lol.

I just got my shift maybe 2 months ago. I love it. However, I wonder how (with CREDO Mobil) I could shift out of it if I wanted to go to the Nexus.
Though, like Vicodan, I am waiting til the ICS Slider comes out. I love having a physical keyboard..., i've tried a number of ROMs and I always go back to the CM7 w/Scary... yep. The others just eat way too much battery life for me.
Please oh please, ICS..., come home soon. It is my birthday week so, if there was ever a better time..now would be it.
Thanks to allt he Developers working out the code! You are all geniuses for sure.

Went to the Photon this week. I'm really enjoying it.
I guess the main thing for me was that I thought our ICS roms were falling just a tad short. As much as I like GB and I think roms like Supreme sense are f'in top notch, ICS addresses my functionality complaints i have about GB. As much as I appreciate Deck (pb21 was pretty awesome), Mega and the like for their work, trying to daily drive and be a power-user with the current ICS roms was rough at times, and I cant blame them for moving on to better phones to do development on instead of addressing every minor detail about shift roms. I saw the writing on the wall, I guess.
The MoPho is quite good, though pricey at 200 bucks. I will buy physical keyboard phones for as long as they keep making them. No sooner did i find out about the Photon, (which was just last week. shows you how little I come by the shift forums lately), I concluded it might be time to jump ship. Its too good a keyboarded phone to pass up since I had the upgrade offer. Otherwise, i would have waited it out.
