Thanks.

Not sure I would say it's a trade up. I played with one a couple of days ago and wasn't very impressed. You should be able to get $100-$150. Sprint sells refurbished Epics for $120.

No contract. Only $60 with employee discount. Same for the EVO, and the Nexus S. Might not be a corporate thing though. All my local Sprint stores are franchise.

So where can I find the epics for 120 refurbished...I wouldn't mind having a spare..or a nexus s

In order to take advantage of this, you must go to a Sprint store that is part of the Shentel(Shenandoah Communications) franchise. They are mostly in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Other franchise stores may have the same or similar offer, but I don't know. Corporate stores do not have this offer as far as I know. I also neglected to mention that you must exchange your current Sprint phone (functioning or non-functioning) to get the refurb at discount. They do this primarily for customers that don't have TEP, but they will do it for anyone.

So in other worlds, one have to go through a bunch of **** just to get the $120 price.

I called yesterday my local Sprint store and asked about refurbished phones and their answer was "refur- huh?". I heard her ask someone else and the dude said "we dont have refurbs, only pre-owned" and I was like "that works too". Apparently, when people return their phones withing the 30 day window, they cant sell the phones as new so they cut the price and sell them pre-owned, its just that it depends on people returning, so call the store and ask about them.

I suppose if you don't live close to one of these stores, then yes. Not much of a hassle if one of their stores is local to you.

Nexus S 4g for $80 out the door

At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?

No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.

What would be the price at best buy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

It's $29.99 on the sprint website right now. Web only special, just bought one for my wife to replace her aging HTC Hero.

really? shouldve taken a pic i seen it for $29.99 at that store
also online
By 80 out the door i mean after taxes

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months

The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

I am really tempting to buy it!!! Unlocked GSM without contract but the phone is just too big. 4.65" and no microSD card slot.

I ordered mine today. I love my N1, but it got damaged a few months ago and this is what I was waiting for to finally replace it.

let us know what non-wifi dl speeds you get on tmobile. i got 10-13mb's on their lte. know it won't be that, but just curious and dissappointed with dl speeds on n1 with tmobile. when contract is up, may switch carriers.

Just read about it via tmonews on an off subject about HTC One S.
So Glad I waited...now to play the waiting game to see when it arrives...
Not bad considering I bought the nexus one when it came out and got the Galaxy Nexus for $450 after taxes and shipping!

so you have a GN on what carrier?

This sux! I bought my N1 from google with no issues. I am in Canada. I cannot buy the Galaxy Nexus though as it states the website is not supported for my country...WTF! Way to go Google...I was going to buy one just based on price but now I'm not sure...

Mine is on the truck now. Unfortunately I'm at work and my wife has to accept it
Do you guys want the tests run straight out of the box before I unlock/root/etc?

Don't matter, I think most will root--that is what it is meant for
Just a regular non-wifi test will do
Don't know how much dl speed differences there are around the country--

Nexus 4 - Singapore Thread

Anyone from Singapore spotted this baby in any of the shops yet?
I know it's yet to be officially released but I remember seeing the galaxy nexus in sim lim and some random neighborhood hp shop at least 3 weeks before actual release date... plan to go scout for this this weekend to try and check out the pricing for buying off the shelves here...
I'm abit skeptical of ordering electronic eqpt online....

I think we'll have to wait till December or next year january. I want the nexus 4 badly but do you know what's the suggested price of it?

I want this piece also. But here in Malaysia i know price will be marked up more than 50%. Which is kinda sh*tty. Sigh. So i plan to get it in the US via playstore and somehow delivered to my mom who is currently visiting there.

Yeah. You're the lucky one. Sigh. I don't think so i could get from playstore as planned. Since it has to be bought using a US credit card. Oh well. Just have to check the price here when its launched here. Worse comes to worst at least I'll get at least a one year warranty for that kinda markup price
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

That thing is obviously going to sell for more than the GNex. Might end up going for the Xperia P if the price doesn't drop.

I'm sure it will be very expensive. If Europe is anything to go by , LG will sell it with a RRP of SG$900+ (€599 in EU, even though it's only €299 in the Play store).
I think I'll be getting mine from Aussie Play store when I'm there in December. Might order 2 and sell one if I can profit from it.

I have always heard some good experiences with ebay although I cannot speak on the amount of money you would get based on how you configure your sale. I personally always go for craig's list because it allows you to work out an arrangement that you both can agree on instead of settling. Works best if you use the built in auto forward email feature so that you do not have to disclose your email address to potential buyers and leave the possibility of being bothered later when the Nexus is long gone. Good luck!

Craigslist for me too, so I can deal locally and in cash. If you have a problem on eBay there's nothing eBay will do to help and you will be out either your money or the device...
I sold my HTC flyer within 2 days on craigslist. While there are still crooks on cl, by dealing locally and in cash, I've never had any problem. I also use the email forwarder and provide no personal details until I can smell that all is on the up and up...

I think eBay will get you more money as far as "hey, I sold it for $175" but then when you pay the fees and the shipping you end up with $125 in your pocket. Craigslist will give you cash instantly (no gaming playing with PayPal), and you will probably get more in the end if you sell it for less money.

Yeah but its not like you'll be out of anything besides time. You don't send the product until they pay. Some jerks will bid on a item with no intentions to pay but its not like you take a loss financially. Ebay will refund all fees associated with listing the item if the buyer doesn't pay. But it does suck if you have to go thru the hassle of relisting it again lol.

I second this.

my vote goes towards Amazon. this is where i sold my Asus TF101.
and 2nd to Swappa.

I go craigslist. But if you use craigslist post a number if you actually want to sell. Myself and everybody I know skip over adds that don't post a number, when I actually want to buy something I want to talk to you now not wait for you to ignore my email because your to lazy to take 30 seconds and delete your add (which really is that easy from an android phone) after a sell like a previous reply implied.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I would try another tech forum like Hard OCP or Anandtech or similar. Both have established markets with few incidents. Make sure the user can verify themselves, uses Heatware, etc. If that failed, I'd try Craigslist, meet publicly, cash-only, etc. The hits from either Paypal or Ebay alone is OK but NOT both. I only sell things on ebay if I know I can't sell it elsewhere (needs bigger market, niche item).
