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.

it should come in tomorrow so ill let you guys know

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

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.

[Q] Need to Replace Epic... With What?

My wife and I both have Epics, but she's dropped hers enough times now that the screen is totally cracked and it will need to be replaced... Rather than pay to repair it, I'd rather replace it... But with what? What's the best thing since sliced cheese that's available (or will be available shortly) for Sprint? Looking at the current stock of available Sprint phones, I might be inclined to go with the Galaxy S II / Epic 4G Touch if it weren't for the fact that I'm so unhappy with Samsung's dismal support for the Epic...
So what does everyone recommend? Is there something coming out just over the horizon that we should hold out for?

If you need something now, nothing.
But if you can wait a bit, the galaxy nexus should be coming to sprint.
The gs2 has better specs (sans screen) but the nexus is guaranteed to get updates unlike our epics

If it still works I would wait for the LTE handsets in 2012. The 800SMR coverage will be a big plus too.

That spectrum won't be used for lte until identified is switched off. That's getting into 2013.

I agree, I switched over to Nexus S 4G since I'm not currently eligible for upgrade through Sprint. But if I was, that new Nexus would be the way to go!!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

you could always buy a nexus s 4g off ebay for like 200 bucks. then sell it on ebay in a few months when the galaxy nexus comes out for maybe 100 bucks. i hear the photon is pretty good.

Yeah, sammy can go screw themselves... If you want a phone that all the features actually work I'd stay away from them. I hear good things about the Photon and for my Sprint phone I picked up a HTC device.

this is the exact price when I last checked two days ago how much it was worth in the market. $500 to $600 is the range atm

posted for $550 shipped in the classifieds. Mods can close

Got mine on Ebay for £420

I guess I'm the only one that will mention it..... move on????? Are you kidding?? You'll sacrifice your exynos for lte? Its a downgrade in every way *except* for the lte. FYI, I sold mine for $650 yesterday to get a white one.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thats a great selling price. I guess mine is priced accordingly due to condition.
I wish I could say the processor has my tongue wagging but for me I use a lot of data and LTE is a higher priority
But hey if someone wants to pay me 650 I wont complain

The At&t note is a dpwngrade in every way as the other poster said.
At&t is also known for throttling LTE users very fast so until the tech is refined, LTE is not worth trading out the Note.

Has anyone bought from Amazon Wireless

I was wondering if anyone used Amazon wireless before? I just joined verizon using Amazon and bought the gNex. As we know the cdma version has many bugs,and you might get a bad one. I asked them indirectly about replacements eetc and they said they don't do it... What do I do now? Any specific wording I should use when I call again?

I noticed they have the Samsung Note for $249 for new customers. I wonder if they'll match that offer at the AT&T store?
Anybody know??

I've never bought any phones from them, but they are notorious for great return policies. I'm sure that carries over to phones as well.

Amazon is probably better than Verizon at return policies.

I've bought two phones through Amazon.
The first was the Rezound on Verizon for a penny, the second was the Amaze for T-mobile.
Know that they WILL charge you a fee (I forget what, maybe 150$/250$) if you cancel within 6 months of, buying the phone.
I did however, have an issue, with the charging cable that came with the Rezound, and Amazon wireless was very nice and replaced the whole package (phone, cable charger....) immediately.

I bought a Nexus S 4G from Amazon Wireless last year when I was trying to figure out which carrier worked best in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, it wasn't Sprint, but Amazon Wireless was amazing throughout the whole experience. They took my return with no questions asked and I didn't even have to communicate with Sprint at all--Amazon took care of everything during my 30-day trial period.

I bought my Nexus through Amazon wireless and I've sent it back to Verizon for a replacement. No hassle, just bring the phone into a Verizon store and they will check it out for you.
Not sure if you are asking for a complete refund though, never had to do that :/

Trade in old phone from Samsung up to $300!

Was just browsing the samsung site after i got my new S3, and wow I can't believe it! My S2 gets a quote of $135 from Samsung directly! that's right! i can mail in my phone to samsung and they will give me a cheque for it!
anyone tried this service? do they pay you exactly what is quoted?
Seems to work in US and Canada ATM.
also is the S2 worth more than $135 on the used market?
the site is here:

I'll give you $140 NOW.

Your s2 is worth more when you sell it privately. Avoid these type of 'deals' unless you really don't care for the phone and don't wish to make much profit off of it.

140.01 here...

www.gazelle.com and www.usell.com I've seen offers for the GS2 as high as $200 recently.

I've found eBay instant sale usually pays the most. looks like up to $220 depending on which S2.

T-Mobile is still selling it for $199.00 with a 2 year contract. LOL.

Hmm didn't expect this to turn into an offer thread lol. I have no prior experience with ebay I just wanted convenience. Also I'm from Canada, market is probably slightly different here. Maybe I'll see if my friends can help me sell it on ebay and whatnot. Don't want to be a victim of fraud though, does ebay guarantee you get the money if someone scams you?
