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

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.

Most exciting phone at ces

I didn't follow CES as much as I wanted to so I'm wondering in your opinions what is the most exciting phone coming in 2011? I just saw specs for the atrix and I'm impressed. I hate at&t but when it cones out on March I might have to go with it. I didn't see where sprint was getting anything. Anybody jumping on the attic in March? Thanks for the responses.

sprint didnt really announce anything but there is a conference from Sprint at the begining of next month with another "industry first". so well see

Yea its a 1.2GHz triple core HTC Device running 2.4 and 2 1080 cameras that also works on sprints "industry first" 5 G network ......and YES u can F*ck iT.

Who cares about phones?
Sprint is getting David Blaine at this Febuary event... David Blaine !!! Lol
Maybe they got him cause only magic will get froyo on our phones.

5G, I'll expect a $50/mo data surcharge with a network that isn't available in my area.

Maybe sprint is gonna announce a fully functional froyo for the epic, a first for the galaxy s

And yeah the atrix is pretty much what I expected the Nexus S to be. Gingerbread had no business being released on a rehashed galaxy s. They shoulda just pushed gingerbread to all n1 owners (which was the point of getting that phone in the first place.) And then got 2.4 out on the NS or whatever nexus it would've been if they would've waited. Perhaps a "Nexus Duo" or something since they didn't want a nexus 2

Yeah, the Nexus S is gonna be a complete and udderly waste of google's time with the outs of the dual core phones with HDMI and an actual SD card slot. Not sure what google was thinking with the Nexus S, but I'm thinking they didn't want developers ****ing with their hardware with those kind of restrictions.

Just read more.info on the atrix and I just told my wife we are going to at&t. I hate at&t.but damn I want that phone on March 1. Atone know what the price is for the.phone yet?

Most likely a lot lol. I dont think its worth a switch on march first though..i think you should hold off for a month or so while all the kinks get worked out, like a horribly locked bootloader.

Do you really want that 2GB data cap? I guess it's okay if you don't use much data, but if you ever do use more than 2GB, be prepared to pay for it.

Yeah I know at&t sucks bad and I will prolly hate it. I just couldn't believe the specs when I saw them. I do use alot of data. Way more than the.limit on at&t and I forgot about that so thanks for pointing that out. Wow I never knew they never updated an android phone. Well you guys ruined my dreams. Lol

I wasn't aware that the numbers were this low. I would think that this would be something that Google would be concerned with because eventually this could hurt the growth of Android. Marketing is a powerful thing and if Apple and Microsoft are in some way able to get into the heads of the masses. You know how powerful marketing can be even when it's just trying to spread FUD. The company that I work for has BB as the "corporate standard" but because we purchased several other companies in the past year that standard has been loosened a bit because of the high number of iPhone users at the other company. There are only two of us in the IT Department that have Android and with what I see going on I still don't feel comfortable pushing Android. The first time there was an issue I know that my CIO would use it as the reason why we shouldn't use Android and that would be the end of that.

Haha, so true. I remember when I was showing my friend my wireless tether feature. He was so impressed he did a jailbreak of his iphone4 to get it. Then he got a nice little bill the next month when he went over 2gb. Needless to say, his iphone is no longer jailbroken.

Developers please answer

I just want to know what new phone our developers will be getting. I really like all the work these guys do and I'm trying to decide what my next phone will be so developers please post what new phone you all will be getting. Im really leaning towards the galaxy SII. Thanks

This is good to know. SRF is the only ROM I've ran since I rooted this bad boy and even though I've thought a few times about trying others, I've then thought, "why when this works so well?"
Anyway, I'm up for a new phone (bought the Epic from guy on craigslist since I couldn't stand the BB I had any longer) but thinking about letting wifey use it so she too can rid herself of the blackberry.
Knowing the devs plans certainly makes that an easier decision. With k0 going to continue development, and the very real possibilty of CM7, I think the Epic should last me quite some time.

@k0ane
Still no phone? For real? Where on earth did u take or send it to get fixed?!?! Lol
Anyway I think I might consider any nexus phone that is out when my contract is up in a year otherwise I still love my epic
The development and updates of it seem awesome!!! And im fine with the speed of ny epic and would mainly want a nexus for updates and the rom galore

Sent from my PC36100

My charging port has been loose & I've been putting off taking it in. I just might have to now. I didn't think that the 3D was worth the upgrade, but it's worth the replacement.
Worst case scenario is that I get another Evo, and that's all I need anyway.
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!

Jeez, I'd hate it if my Evo broke, but if they're giving up 3D's so soon after they came out as an even trade... day-um!

Wow, sounds like a pretty kick ass deal. I was considering doing an insurance claim cause my power/unlock button kind of stopped working but it works now, kinda. Has a mind of its own, works sometimes and does work other times... I was wondering how they would be doing replacements since they stopped making the OG Evo. I also felt that the 3D was not worth the upgrade at all, but hell I would gladly take one to replace my old Evo. Only thing I would miss is the dev community and the stupid amount of choices we have as far as roms and mods lol. I think it is safe to say that no other android phone has a bigger dev community than the OG Evo.

My charging ports also been broken for a couple months I just haven't bothered to fix it. I have an external charger

That's exactly what I thought. I wasn't gonna use an upgrade on it but a trades totally worth it

I love my EVO too, but I wouldn't be that unhappy if I had to upgrade. I do enjoy being able to change ROMs whenever and to whatever I want basically, but I've tried AOSP, I've tried MIUI, and I keep coming back to Sense, so I'd probably just go to Eternity ROM on 3D and be done with it. I would still miss my EVO though.

Sprint deading us?

So i recently heard HTC is officially deading the EVO 4g? what does this mean for us?? We will never get an official OTA update for ICS??
Also what if my phone breaks and i go to order a replacement.....the phone will be discontinued and wont be able to get it anymore? im a little confused.

1. We never were getting an official ICS this phone hit EOL (End of Life) status back in October 2011
2. You will get a refurbished evo4g or a comparable phone of no 4gs are in stock, usually a 3d
We are legion, for we are many

^^^ what he said .. EOL . means no more support.. just like they are doing the IDEN customers you will have a discounted replacement of equal options..

Why the jamaican slang?! Dx
$1 gets you a reply

Means nothing to those who follow the dev community. Especially AOSP users.

My Evo was dead to Sprint the day I rooted it, if we're being accurate.
2 years later, it's still very well supported on XDA, for which I'm very glad. I'm in no hurry to replace it.
