Do you dare to sell your X2 to just anyone?

I may sell my X2 and buy motorola milestone couse i would like to try android.
but there comes a problem. used xperia X2 in my country costs from 300€ and up(around 370$ and up). but people expect a good phone for that kind of money not a phone that freezes while taking a video or even while closing tasks in task manager. SE realy relesed unfinished product on us.
So im asking you guys abouth your experiences with selling your X2. well probably if you sold your X2 you probably dont visit this part of XDA forums but i dont know where else to put the thread.
the thing is the X2 costs as a great phone does and Xperia X2 SHOULD be a great phone (on paper it is) but i real life it simply is not worth 500-600$ (price for new phone). Even Im not totaly satsfied with it and i got it for free.
shortly: your experiences with selling your x2, the problems with the buyers you sold it to... or maybe experiences of your friends if they were sold x2.
ty for your time.

For me, the X2 is just a worthless buy. It will be impossible to sell without a buyer complains.
So, I prefer to stay with it and store it on the garage once I get an iPhone 4. At lease, it will serve as replace phone if my iPhone fails in the future.
Trash it, or burn it and post the video on YouTube is also an option.
Cheers.

I would dare (despite for sure buyer will complain) - unfortunately nobody wants to buy this piece of ****. It was suposed to be a business phone but due to lack of bluetooth rSAP profile (which HTC and Nokia have for years) it can't pair with bluetooth premium car kits ... so it's not easy to find another idiot (like my self) who would eventually buy it...

honestly, sorry to hear you've had such a crappy experience with your phone, i personally love mine, but apparently the x2 is going to be "officially" released in america in Q3/Q4 when it does advertisements for the phone will start showing on tv's here and people will start looking on ebay and the internet to buy it and the value for it will start rising again, who knows, if yours is in good condition and you still have the box and stuff you might get close to full price for it.
so my advice, wait a little longer then sell it on ebay

Offer it on a 'geek' forum, so people know what they are buying and they are willing to use it as a toy, not a phone they could depend on

Well if you are lucky enough to live in the UK you can sell your X2 to CEX and they will buy it of you for £174

Nexus one discontinued ..

So I just saw on my local news here in Miami the Google is done selling nexus one how disappointin becuse I bought mine with in the last three weeks..... but I'm actually not I'm happy I like the idea of havein something exclusive.. like when I got my g1 a couple days before release I had something no one else had. Now there are like fifty million androids and there all the same except different camaras how boring in my opinion... any one with a nexus will and should agree that we have something worth having our phone is great and I'm glad that every where I go every phone I look at is not mines. I work at a cell phone store and every one buys what everyone else has I don't even have to try... so thanks Google for not selling a million in one day I personaly love people saying hey wow what is that.... or like my coworker who has iphoney 4 who uses my phone to watch ESPN but will never admit mine is better but secretly loves and wants... I just wanted to put that out there my moment of rant because my girl was like oooooo your 500 dollars phone is canceled hahsha we shall see who pays her phone bill this month lol.

Why doe's it matter how many have a nexus one?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I've had my unlocked and rooted G1, on ATT for 2 years now, before most of my coworkes/freinds even knew what android was. Its overheating/rebooting constantly and its on its last legs. I just bought the ATT Nexus 2 days ago, and im giddy like a school girl waiting for it.
The Nexus One was a REFRENCE DEVICE, kind of like intel and motherboards. They forces the MFG to stop selling dinkyl 528mhz, 3" devices. and FORCED them to try and ONE UP them, by creating the Nexus one as what a staple android phone should be.
The CEO said they're were so successful in this, they didnt need to create a nexus two. look at thhe manufactures. Samsung, Moto, HTC, Dell, all Competeing to create super android phones, which in turn helps google win the fight vs appple.
and btw, the nexus is still being manufactured. You can pay $25 Extra for a developer account or buy it throught 3rd party retailers.

Well I'm glad I just bought one.

Just watch, now that all the news stories are getting this, and the the Nexus One is finally being advertised (the news stories) there will be a huge amount of people buying a Nexus and Google will start making them again. I predict this is not the end of the Nexus One.

That sounds Very Plausibe.......

Highly doubtful.

What phone are you moving from to the Galaxy S II?

As the title says, I think it would be interesting to see where our new Galaxy S II community is coming from.
I'm personally coming from a Galaxy S 1.
So, what was your previous phone before the Galaxy S II? You can select multiple options if you have multiple phones simultaneously, but only vote for phones you had DIRECTLY before getting your SGS II, not ones you've had in the past.
EDIT: Samsung option should say '2010 or newer Android', includes other Samsung Android phones from 2010. Oh, and obviously by Galaxy S II I mean Galaxy S...can't imagine anyone is already moving from an S II to an S II...

GalaxyS 1: My Current
Iphone 4: Backup
both will be sold soon for the sgs2

I got talked into all the hype about iphone 4 now that i have had it for 6 months i cant wait to sell it, ahhh i hate apple.

Haha, I feel your pain!
When I got my Galaxy S on contract last year, one of the attractions was that Optus here were using unlocked, unbranded handsets for it so there was the option of selling it and grabbing a new unlocked phone before my 24-month contract was up.
As I'm doing right now for the S II!

Heh, whoops! Forgot Maemo existed.
Maybe just vote Symbian and you'll be in with the other Nokia owners, although Maemo was definitely a step up there.

Nexus One -> Galaxy S II

Going from this Cappy. Its been a good 2 months. But I can't resist the call of the SGS 2. Just trying to find out how to get it here in Toronto. (Ordering wise)
Roaming the forums on the XDA app.

I'm going from a HTC touch diamond 2, can't wait till it arrives as I know the difference is going to be unreal

well i WAS using a g1 until it went into a boot loops and i think i accidentally flashed DangerSpl again... yeah that's a brick. so i've been forced back to my touch pro. touch pro 1. which was dropped into a sink. and randomly shuts off. or the power button will stop working for a couple of hours.
*hangs head* AT&T needs to hurry and at least give us a timeframe for sgs2 release. i need a new phone so badly i'm considering getting an iP4 as an upgrade and selling it when the sgs2 comes out but i have no idea what it's resell value would be at the time and don't want to end up being out of pocket $500 total on this

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I was never a fan of Android before, but now I'm making the plunge from an iPhone 4 because the GS2 looks awesome

My Desire started overheating with GPS & 3G (known hardware issue), but I won't be anywhere near a service centre I could use for months. Guess that's gonna get passed down to my wife once I can get it fixed.
Now I just need to find a place to buy the SGS2 somewhere in Malaysia or Thailand (with a intl. warranty). Any suggestions?

Gah, wish I could edit the poll.....forgot Blackberries too!
Big fail on my part.

[Q] Took late to buy an HD2?

So my birthday is coming up, and I was wondering if should stick with getting the HD2 off of amazon, I had my eyes set for a Nokia N900 for a long time, but since they are ditching Maemo there is no point in buying one.... and the N9 is going to be wayy to expensive for me.
So any suggestions? I'm pretty much a n00b to the smartphone world, but basically I want a phone that is versatile like the N900 or HD2, but nothing proprietary please.

Too late and not worth the money spent anymore. I personally would pay no more than $199 for this device new, and $100 ~ 130 for it used. This is my perspective.

Actually I own a N900 and HD2. I bought my N900 about 2 yrs ago. It's a great phone and hardware at that time. But now can't compete with newer processors. But still I love my N900 and it has better cellular signal reception than HD2. Comes with front camera and it works great with Skype over 3G or WiFi. But only problem is Nokia abandoned that great device. (but Nokia gave me a great customer service and replaced my phone to new one after warranty period)
Because of lack of support and apps I decided to get a Android phone and week and half ago I bought my HTC HD2. Tested it for couple of days and flashed Android. I'm happy with it.

Didn't read everything through....
DO NOT EVEN think about Nokia N900 If anything goes wrong with the phone.... yer on your own. Nokia has the worst customer support I know.
Example: My son owns N900... USB/Charging port went bad, got un-soldered...
What do you know..... Called and emailed whoever I could, to get the motherboard....I'm paying customer, I do not ask for freebies,,,,,, What happened... NOTHING!!! No one even moved the finger to help.... Ended up with buying external charger and couple of batteries....And that's the company trying to lead the world in cellphone technology.... NEVER EVER NOKIA in my house!!!!!

I saw this last post and it made me happy. At least Nokia USA treated me nicely. My phone was almost 2 years old and few weeks ago noticed cellular signal drop when I press the phone or if phone is in my pocket. I contacted Nokia customer service even my phone is out of warranty (it came with one year warranty). Had to communicate couple of times back and forth with customer service and then they asked me to send a phone for repair. I told then I'm not spending any more money on that phone. Then they said, they will make a exception and repair it as under warranty. They even provided free shipping labels to send it. Within 5 days after they received it got a email saying they are replacing my phone and it's on the way. I couldn't wait to see how the replacement is. Finally I got it and... OMG it was a brand new phone and only thing wasn't there was a battery which I didn't send them.
Now I have brand new N900 and HTC HD2
I would buy another Nokia phone only if they come up with well know OS such as Android. I don't trust any software they start.

Hd2 is the best smartphone ever made in history.
Even it was two years old. I purchase my HD2 in Sep,2009!
it is still the best phone now!

HD2 sound quality is much better than any Samsung phone include SGS, I own hd2 and SGS

Now that is not true. The HD2 distorts far too easily where as the SGS doesn't, plus with the new custom kernels with Voodoo sound. It can easily out do the HD2 for audio quality, call quality is in the HD2 favour however...

you got a bad phone. It is too late to claim warranty.
I have two hd2 s , voice quality is much better than my three Samsung vs, infuse and tab 7

I don't think it's too late. Although myself have moved onto the sensation, with its dust in the screen's issue...
I just sold a sealed and unopened hd2 on ebay for $350, although after ebay, paypal, and shipping charges I'm only making $300. Not bad for a year and half old phone.
Thinking back though, it's only been a little more than a year since hd2 was released on tmous. It feels much longer though...due to the fast refresh of phones now days. In the late 90s, people stick with their phones forever really..

I rang Rogers customer service yesterday asking when they were getting it in stock but they have no information yet.
Atleast good news is we are going to get it and I won't have to import the phone although it we have to wait too long I still might.
I want the Xperia S very soon since I'm running on X10 still and desperately need an upgrade.
