Want an inspire 4g? I want your atrix.

This will probably get closed but since a lot of people probably don't look In the market forum or know about it I'm gonna our this here as well. I have a thread in the market and I'm looking to trade my inspire 4g for your atrix(att). I know there have been a lot of people who have decided they want an inspire instead but I am the opposite. Mods if this thread is not allowed please delete and I apologize in advance.

I personally don't think that people would be willing to trade a $99 dollar phone and give up a $199 phone. Just my 5 cents.

Off contract they are the same. I paid full price on launch day for my inspire because I needed a phone asap

Not at my local store. The inspire is 500. I could be wrong but isn't that the atrix price.

Well.... if you go by AT&T's website... they show $499 with a $300 discount... but also mentions an "Online Only" price. If you look at Best Buy, $199 with a 2-year contract, with a regular price of $599.

Best buy has them both off contract for 599.

Best buy jacks the price up on every off-contract phone price. The Inspire is definitely $400 and the Atrix is $500. I paid full price for my Atrix, at the AT&T store and asked how much the Inspire was as well (just in case they didn't have any)

Ok. Well either way. I didn't start this thread to discuss how much a cell phone Is worth.

I need more info on it. Android Central didn't say much. It's a loyalty program so do you have to be with sprint for a certain amount of time? Pay a certain amount (like premeire) have certain types of phones (smartphones? feature phones?)? So many questions and it said it started today x.x

I seen somewhere that's only for sprint employees.

That's what I thought I saw, too, though I can't find it in the Playbook now.

You know i would have a new phone every 6 months is they did this...

Sprint would make so much money if they did this.

Agree on this. They should allow us to buy phones as long as were in the 2yr every 6months.

As a Sprint employee, I say this makes me giddy. I don't know why Sprint didn't do this sooner. How can you sell the latest phones if you're rocking a handset from 2 years ago?

Well, time to apply for a job at Sprint.

Sprint now 1st US carrier to get GSII branded phone

An alaskan cell phone company GCI is getting it first:
http://phandroid.com/2011/09/09/sam...00/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Sorry, Sprint, but you were a bit too slow. Alaska’s regional GCI has beaten the nationwide carrier to market as the first U.S. carrier to offer a subsidized Samsung Galaxy S II. Those citizens residing in the colder of the two non-contiguous United States have the pleasure of heading out and picking up what looks to be an unadulterated version of the Galaxy S II for a mere $99.99 on contract. The GSII operates on GCI’s “4G” HSPA+ network and features a dual-core CPU, Super AMOLED Plus display, and more. We suppose with an asterisk Sprint can still be the first carrier to release the Galaxy S II in the continental US, right?

Actually, sprint could still say something like "the first major us carrier to bring the gs2"..."major" is the keyword there and effectively turns the entire statement into an opinion

did that alaskan company just import some international models? they look like the international version on the website...

Well, the other countries may have gotten it first but, in my opinion, a bigger battery and bigger screen will be worth the wait

Yessssssss! Ive been thinking about switching my Epic for the Epic touch. I just don't like that Samsung never keeps up with the updates, we as developers have to find and make custom roms for it and used "leaky" versions. How ahrd is it to release0 the newest android on the epic?!

Same here. Color me surprised...

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.

Could the lack of info on pricing be because they are waiting for the official "announcement" tomorrow. Samsung has event planned so maybe that is when they will announce prices for all carriers and flavors??

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.

Once your phone is paid off they will unlock it if you're using EIP...if you purchased full price and have had your account over 40 days they will unlock it...don't see the need for a petition lol

As long as you bought the phone outright you can unlock it. I just sim unlocked my at&t varient.

Online sim unlocking services...

I don't get it. I unlocked my SIM by paying some guy (I forgot his sellers is name) on EBay $3.50
Why is there a need for a petition?

At the moment, in the USA, sim unlocking by anyone except the carrier is technically illegal. The exemption was removed. I think they are working on taking care of that though. On that same note T-Mobile should let you sim unlock if you ask. Remember you can always ask for a supervisor.
