$50 Pre-Rooted is a good price. If the device is in good working condition, and looks good.

Where did you find a NEW rooted phone for $50? Mine has corrosion on the motherboard and needs to be replaced sooner than later and just the deductible for insurance is $100.

You can find them all day on Craigslist for about $100 . But if you willing to haggle a bit you should be able to get the price down.

Brand New B&N Nook Colors for $134.99 free shipping!

Alright guys, so we all know the Kindle Fire is dropping next month, but for anyone looking for a Nook Color this deal cannot be beat!!
The seller is DailySteals, I have ordered from them before (Pixi Plus) with no problems at all.
Great price IMHO considering used ones still pull $160-180 and new ones go for $190-200 on eBay.

Just be forewarned, it's not going to arrive fast. They dispatch items like 7 days after you order than UPS Surepost is absolute rubbish.

Nope all smartphones carry a $100 deductible now. And they always consider full retail price which is like $499 still.

20% deductible on the total value of the insured device?
Wouldn't it suck if you had to pay 20% of your car when you got into an accident?

If you choose a $1000 deductible on your car and it is only worth $5000 in the blue book...that's 20%. You get what you pay for. Best Buy insurance has no deductible but costs more. They also don't cover lost or stolen.
I got my wife a used Epic on swappa.com for $165 about 3 months ago.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah I picked up my epic on ebay practically new for 165 about two months ago, then sold my evo shift for 200 cause sprint wouldn't just switch me to this phone even though they offered me nexus. Just gotta make sure its got a clear esn. So id say by the end of the year u should prolly drop ur insurance cause even if u gotta pick up another one it would be around 100 for this phone anyways sprint usually sends u a referb anyways. Terrible and good part of android phones depending on how u look at it is they lose most of their value by 6 to 8 months after being released.

Being the son of an insurance agent, I can say that people who choose $1000 deductibles have ****ty agents. My mom would have fully explained the cost differential, as the difference is not that much per month.
Using your analogy downplays the severity, My car was 20k used. if I had to pay $4000 in the event of an accident i'd have some problems...
As it stands now, I only have to pay $250.
If asurion offered more than one policy, I would choose one that gives me the best advantage...
Ah but to avoid a 25% increase in your policy would you have accepted a change to a $500 deductible? Assurion used to be $50 regardless of phone. Now phones cost a LOT more and are a hot item to steal. Since they cover theft rather than increase the monthly cost to $12 they went the way of an increased deductible. I guess they could have kept the cost down if they removed the lost or stolen part.

Women!!

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

Yeah the $35 is not for accidental damage. That is exactly what the insurance is for....sorry. You can find one on Ebay for about $125.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.
If nothing else, it's back to the Rumor 2 for her!!

100$ for smart phone only 50$ for non smart phone
tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck
Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

Sprint Epic4g repair/replace

OP has a cracked screen - that and water damage takes deductible to $100 with asurion. If the phone (ie a replacement) is still under its 1 year warranty, and doesn't have one of the above 2 issues then Asurion will swap it for free.
My space bar is split down the middle (still works just annoying), my battery won't hold a charge, every now and then while charging several battery widgets showed the batter charged but loosing power, one of those 3 triangle things (where the battery is, the part that touches the gold squares on the batter) is bent.
Will I have to pay $100 or can I get a new epic free? I had this phone since February 2011 (or 2010 I forget but it was the february after the phone came out)

Take a pick and press in on one of the ext antenna port. This will kill you signal and they will say hardware and replace it for $35. If you have water or broken screen, no luckat all. Simple.

They wouldn't replace mine when I lost it. Signed up for Sprint insurance and now it's only $100.
Its a waste of a $100. Hopefully the Nexus comes out at a good price.

Almost the same money in all ways. If you didnt brake the screen and just the glass, youll prob break it trying to replace it. Also it wont feed the same after you get it that far apart. I would say Ebay and switch the board out. Insurance if you got it. Like I said tho, about the same money. Global Direct is the best place for parts. A few bucks higher than ebay but 100% genuine and will have the adhesive made for it. PM me if you need a price, they hide them.

Getting my SGS4 today - Trade in question

Talked to the Sprint online chat people and they said I can get my early upgrade now.
I have the SGSII running CM10.1. To trade it in for the $75 bucks, do I have to go back to stock or does it not matter since they're going to reflash it anyway?
put it back as stock it doesn't raise a red flag.

I agree with this. Just like Gamestop, they'll buy your product back for as little as possible. Meanwhile, they still have the product they're buying back from you on their shelves for the original full price, or discounted & it still beats the price they would have pay for yours. Put it on craigslist, ebay or amazon.
Meh... Craigslist is full of Nigerian spammers. Maybe I'll sell it here on XDA.
I traded my GS3 into Best Buy and got $250 which covered the cost of my GS4. All I paid was $25 for tax.
Yeah bb gave me $250
