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..

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).

Yes, that is what the 'A' stands for.

Thanks, what do you guys think about price, seems reasonable?

He did note its almost bnib, he ended up getting a deal on something else and wants to get rid of it, still waiting for the pictures I asked for..

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.

I had the Captivate before and hated it, I'm solely sold on AOSP, he just messaged me back saying I could just look up a picture, said he's had it for 2 weeks and its still in the box

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

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..

Note arriving tomorrow!

So freaking excited. I haven't been this excited bout a phone since the original evo came out. Got it for $649 with free shipping which wasn't too bad I guess. So I will officially be leaving the evo 3d forum to here tomorrow sometime. First order of business is to root that motha!!!

Gratz! Got mine yesterday. Previously I had a Galaxy S II for 4 months, with a faulty screen (uneven brightness). It spent 1 month and 13 days at service, only to have it returned formated. Glad i don't have the same issue on the Note. Its a beast

Wow great price, I was going to pull the trigger but their website seem a little shady. No company info, no phone number, no address.
Did a search and only found this.

Apparently shipping people empty boxes and claiming insurance on it?
I don't know if that was just a mistake or what...
How long did it take for them to ship it to you after placing an order? Where did they ship the unit from? Thanks!

I have no regrets at all. I've already rooted and overclocked it is fast as hell. I'm a fan of big screens and this one good screen. As far as service, I bought an att go phone but my note will not recognize it so I got to figure that out. Right now just using wifi to surf and make calls

Beats By Dre from Rezound 39.99

Big Deal on the Beats By Dre that come with the REzound. So they will work with Android phones.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261031836807#ht_2872wt_1209

Do you think they are knock offs?

No, my guess is that HTC stopped including them and unloaded a bunch.

It says they got them from a large company that bundled them with a cell phone (rezound) . They come with a one year manufacturer warranty. I don't see how they are fake.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I hope they are the real deal... I want to hear some reviews first. When you guys get them pump them up and let us know

My estimated time of delivery is 6/18 so I'm not sure the deal will still be going when that comes around for me to review. Also I'm not big on the Beats headphones as they are just overpriced and marketed headphones but for 40 and with controls that work on Android I'm all about it.
I bought them because, 1. I know HTC was going to stop including them with phones, 2. Beats by Dre were no longer going to be made by monster...both of those says to me there is going to be a lot left over and they will be dumped for wholesale.
also the seller is a reputable one on ebay and they come with a manufacturer warranty.
If you are interested buy them, I believe the seller has a good return policy. So if they are iffy you can return them but if they are legit you won't miss out on the deal.

I wonder if these comes with extra ear tips. Anyone?

My nephew got his and he said they sound great, and his had the manufacturer's warranty card. I haven't tried mine but I had to email the seller as mine didn't come with the warranty card.

Have you got a chance to check them Out yet?

Got mine in today, seam like the real deal. Made some calls with them and worked great. Very loud headsets, clean sound. I would feel confident in getting them if your still thinking about it.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but is this deal completely dead?

I have just recently bought a power supply from them. I think i will stick to newegg now, their customer support was horrible. I never felt so insulted before. The first two 2 times i called, they were total d**ks, maybe its the luck of the draw. After 4 calls, and 2 email's I'm still having trouble with my purchase. Shame on you Tiger Direct, i did not have a pleasant experience at all.

You think thats frustrating? Verizon hasnt even acknowledged it exists

U.S. Celluar hasn't given a date other than "by the end of the month". We know the prices but that's all!! Seems like everyone is in this waiting game.

I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.
