Hello all, it's finally come time to get rid of my faithful HTC HD2. I've had Android on it now for a couple of years, essentially saving the phone from a dusty cupboard since upgrading to the SGS2. I use both phones, the GSII mainly for net and the HD2 as a phone because it's got hardware phone buttons and means making and taking calls is so much easier.
I considered putting it on eBay but there's a fair few on there and i've had scammers come at me from all over the place back in the day. I ended up using a comparison website to find out how much i'd get and to be honest it wasn't that much less than I expected through eBay.
So i've got rid of my HD2 and i'm using the money to put toward the Galaxy S III when that comes out. I also have a second contract with a GS II so maybe next year i'll do the same, or even sell it now and pay the contract off
Anyway, if anyone else wants to have a look at the site it's www.onbay.co.uk/recycle
Not worth it in think you better off selling at a pawn shop or craigslist.

Did you try your luck on the xda-dev's seller forum?
All you really have to do is post up your device, and look at the offers from other members.
Not a bad deal in my opinion.

I'm just a bit wary when Joe Bloggs is involved, there's a lot of nutters out there. Pawn Shops rarely give me what i'd like, plus they'll be selling it for £100 more within the hour. Even if the recycler does that...at least I won't be able to see it.

I have listed a phone through there but nobody took interest. I've seen some scams too, plus it all seems to be 90% USA.
Thanks for the replies anyway
Fair points, we'll how much did you get for it, if I may ask?

First and foremost I love my atrix for the most part..but the question is do I trust AT&T to make good on the HSUPA or do I return the phone this weekend before Im stuck in two years of possible down/upload hell in my area I typically get 500-1kdown and 90-200kup my thirty days expire this weekend so I guess its time to make a decision. Your opinions and thoughts are definitely welcome
Well I mean it is your phone and your experience, we can't really tell you if you should get it or not.
If you're happy with it, that's what matters; if you buy any ATT branded phone then you're going tto run into this (4G phones obviously)
I didnt mind for the upload and download speeds, I just didn't like the phone itself.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I was more or less interested in others thoughts on rather or not they believe AT&T will eventually do right by their non-iphone users..because to be honest AT&T is already one of if not the most restrictive carrier now in addition to that they offering sub-par service
Its hard for me too. Im thinking of calling up ATT and seeing what they will do for compensation till they fix this issue. Not only is my upload bad but my download seems to get capped. If I run one speed test its good. The next right after are slow, around 300kbs down. Its horrible. Im kind of mad at them right now and I hope they fix this crap.
Inspire is a good choice. I sold my atrix on eBay already. A locked cellphone is a dead one.

The phone does not get 4G speeds. It's false advertising if you ask me. I would return it until they fix this.

Sometimes returning a phone is not as easy as you think. Restocking fee or shipping and handling fees really hinders people. I'm still deciding whether I should keep the Atrix or not.
Keep or not Keep, that's the question.
I have a few questions. Where can I get an HD2 for a good price? It seems like no matter where I look, it's still selling for $300. Since it's a GSM phone, can I use it with AT&T by unlocking it? I have a tilt 2 but I'd really like to try this phone out, that's why I'm asking and this will definitely be a step up for me.
You can definitely pick one up for lower than 300$. If I were you I would look on craigslist in your area or even eBay. The prices of a new hd2 should be around the 250 mark maybe a little lower. You can also unlock the hd2 so you can use it with at&t. If you want a hd2 that will work with at&t 3g look for a Telstra hd2 (9193) that work great but that maybe around the 275$ mark.

lol, you can have mine for $250 shipped
I brought mine on ebay for $120. Sniped it at the last second. Normally though I've seen them sell on there about or under $175 even. You just have to wait really. Look at an odd time if you can like on a Tuesday morning bout 2am. Lol. Not a lot of people are up then bidding so you might have better luck. Plus a lot of people don't know for your best price you really should end an auction on a weekend like late Sunday when people are most likely to be online.

You're just aiming too high man, most of the devices I've seen you offer on are some of the newest and best in mint condition. The streak is a two year old device with no support official or otherwise. If you were looking for something like a blackberry as you say, you could probably get it. However, I've seen you offer it on galaxy s2 and lumia 900. This is not intended to be mean, just aim for offers of a similar value.

Not if he's expecting trades based off the MSRP (Manufacturer's suggested retail price). A realistic price for a Streak would be about $150, and that may still be high.
Yeah I thought it was a good deal

In this rather than paying shiping for 7/10 device I should have done sumthin here.
If u have any 8.5/10 or 9/10 confition device I will ship mine immediately

The point is that you seem to be expecting to trade your Streak for a device whose value is equivalent to the Streak when it was new. If that is the case it's not likely to happen. It would be like me wanting an HTC Desire HD, a 2012 phone, and offering my HTC Aria, a 2010 phone, in trade.
It would be unrealistic to expect anyone to swap their Desire HD with an Aria. Your expectations in your trade I believe are just as unrealistic as my example. That's not to say it would never happen, but it's highly unlikely.

Got a link to the ebay bid? Might be cool to see.
And maybe the HD2 will be known as something cool in the future, like how people still collect and use Amigas. With the dev community here and it's many possibilities, maybe it will retain some value, at least until a suitable alternative comes up (sadly, there have not been any)

No effing way!
I recently bought anotger HD2, a brand new unopened piece for US $285- a thousand bucks gotta be a sick joke!
Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA app
A thousand bucks is just a joke for phones.. I see many iphone 3g/4g for 1000 bucks.. Not sure why and I don't see anything special.. unless the inside is plated with gold or something
This phone is great and all but there is no way its worth $1000. I've seen places selling them a lot cheaper then that. I've bought several new
phones since owning my HD2 and I've stopped using them or have sold them and gone back to the HD2 every time and as much as I love this
phone there would be no way I'd be willing to shell out that kind of money for it. You could buy two Sensations for that price point. The seller is
crazy if they think they'll get this or anything close to it. Maybe the price didn't translate well or something,
I hunted the link down on ebay if anyone else wants to take a look..
Thanks for the link, the reason I kept one bnib was for one day to be worth a lot of money. Another seller on amazon has it for 999.95 not sure what version this are but my guess that's probably the reason for the very high price.

I can buy brand new t-mobile US model still sealed with sim & 16GB card & have unlocked free once purchased for less than 300USD ...
It's a great device but not worth a 1,000bucks to anyone.
You guys are bursting my bubble i already went through the Bennie baby crisis during the 90's not sure if I can take the hd2 not be worth money one day. I guess it has kept its value pretty well since being out around 2 years ago.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Kept its value as device still competes in size & style to modern handsets & has a good physical construction feel, plus with custom cross rom development it made its own unique used device market.
Common faults & ****e faulty or bad repair handsets keep used prices sensible.
I think the seller is just kidding himself to have it at such a high price, especially when an HTC One X is half that. You can set any price you want for Buy It Now.
However, new, unopened HD2s are obviously rare, (mostly because nobody was such a fool to invest in electronics), and smartphones were definitely more expensive unlocked in the recent past, so maybe he's just out of touch.

I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I guess it kinda applies to this forum.
Anyways, this company apparently has really good deals. But I'm sure if they are a real/reputable company. I mean according to the post, the have brand new devices. Like a Galaxy Note for $300 and an iPhone 4S 16GB for $280. I think these deals are too good to be true, but if they are real, I want to buy things!
