Epic for sale?

Hello all, I'm looking for a Samsung epic for sale between 150 & 200$ if anyone has one or has seen a deal like that would you kindly tell me? I love my hero but its about time to upgrade to bigger and better things,

There's this website called eBay.com that might have what you're looking for.
Good luck with your phone buying goals for 2011 OP!

Also try craigslist for your location.

I've looked on eBay, way outta my price range, and no one is selling the epic on Craigslist for my area

You're not going to find one for that price unless something is wrong with

Don't know why someone would sell you one for that price when they can easily get more for it on ebay or CL.

Got mine for $200 a few months back off of Ebay. It is difficult to find them for that price, but not impossible.. The good news is there are a lot of people in this forum who want to stick it to Samsung, maybe they will do what they keep saying they are going to do and sell.

Yeah, I'm sure that's how someone would stick it to Samsung, sell their phone for less than half of what it's supposedly worth and then can't buy another phone.... If you're that dumb you deserved to be screwed by Samsung!

If you are up for an upgrade through sprint then I believe that the epic is selling on amazon for $99. Not sure if it works with an upgrade or if it is only for new customers but it might be worth checking out

I would consider a trade... Only for a pristine, mint evo... Black, not white

Ill have to look at amazon for that, and if already had the evo I wouldn't be trying to get an epic though I would trade if I did, I like the epic more lol I wouldn't want the black evo ne way white is so much better IMO

With all the angry people on this site you should be able to find someone. But, If they sell their phone what would they have to complain about anymore. I'm just puzzled why they didn't take their phones back within the 30 day refund period? Well good luck. I hope you read all the threads before you buy one so you know what your getting. I have eb13 and my phone runs great. I still think this is the best phone I have had so far. Just my $.02

Yeah I hear its a great phone, and its everything I want in a phone, great size all around awesome keyboard brilliant display, all that, granted Samsung might not be the best, but they can make a damn sexy phone and to the amazing Guy, my upgrade is in November, and thru radioshack its 150 so ill prolly have to wait till then, unless I can find a better deal,

New phone trade in...

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic

Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.

There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

I've had pretty good success through email, but you have to be reasonable. You might be able to swap it for an EVO. Just be nice they tend to be more willing to help if your nice.

Possible buy..

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..
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

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).

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.

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
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

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..

replacement phone. no more vibrants

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.

Ya let's us know dude!

wonder about through tmobile? i'm still within one year...might get a 4g for the hell of it.

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.

They usually only let you select older phones

I'm curious to hear back what you get, I have two Vibrants......

So my phones lost right now. Thanks to ups. But I called and they're sending out a galaxy 4g

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.

HTC Trade-Up Program

I just got the email to register my information and to see if I'm qualified for the $100 gift card or if the phone is greater. As long as your phone is still usable with no damage you will something. I'm pretty happy because I'm going to get $100 gift card for this crappy Samsung Intercept that I have been patient with for so long lol.
Now all I need is the 'One' and life will be good :laugh:

just sold my One X for $360 on eBay..
might give up my old blackberry if they willing to give $100 for just any phone long as it in good condition

I'm currently on a Motorola Photon, but I also still have my previous phone, an HTC Touch Pro2... I'm thinking about turning in the TP2 for the $100 gift card, and turning the MoPho over to Sprint for the $40 statement credit... Double dipping.
Only reason I've been keeping the TP2 around was for occasional international travel, as the MoPho is a little hit and miss when it comes to recognizing data capabilities on foreign SIM cards (has something to do with being unable to read the APN on the SIM). I've actually used the TP2 as a wireless hot spot for my MoPho when traveling internationally, which is goofy. Hopefully the One won't have this problem, never was able to figure out if the problem was caused by Motorola, Sprint, or some combination... Each kept pointing at the other.

Quick question...
My sister lives in Chicago. If I were to purchase a Canadian HTC One and got her to send in my phone would I qualify?
If so... might be a great offer And I would actually purchase the HTC One on release.

I wonder how this works? I'm on vzw with a thunderbolt, and will probably break my contract in march when the one comes out. When it says carrier, does it mean the one your trade in is on, or the one you'll get your One on?

I believe it's the carrier the one is going to be registered on. I plugged in an old treo i had laying around and it accepted it on the site so it doesn't look like it's limited in any way other than the pre-registration and the purchase date on the one.
