about to buy this phone. Mint condition, locked from AT&T i suppose. Seller want $250 but i can negotiate down to $200. Is it a good idea? It just a phone + charger + hdmi cable and case.
Thanks for the help. Im using the Nexus One right now.
I recommend buying the phone if you can get an upgrade at a lower price at the phone store. But, spending $250 dollars on a phone when the galaxy nexus is around the corner is not a smart idea.
I will be getting the galaxy nexus when it comes out.

I think this is a good buy. The Atrix is in a peculiar situation right now. It is not the best phone on the market and with Galaxy Nexus coming out, it'll be inferior and it may not get stock Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is easily one of the best phones out, and it's specs are comparable with that of Galaxy SII. It also has a fingerprint scanner (which is so amazingly convenient and works wonders) and the webtop hack is pretty useful.
Most importantly, it is cheap and future proof. You cannot buy ANYTHING comparable for under 400 dollars. With its specs you'll be able to use it and be happy with it easily for 1-2 years. With the great developer support, hopefully we'll be able to flash ICS based rom. This is a great phone to have and its under-appreciated by the general market.
Buy it. Root it. Unlock it. Flash Aura or CM7 with Faux kernel and you won't be disappointed. Then just go ahead and upgrade in 1-2 years when your cellular contract is up for extension.
Agree with lilhyper.
I went through a torrent of phones before at&t decided to early upgrade me, and it hasn't disappointed me.
While technically inferior, consider the fact that technology becomes inferior literally overnight. What matters is if it can handle your demands. It handles mine, and I brutalize hardware.
200 is a steal unless you have an upgrade soon, then wait for that and get a newer phone.

Hi all,need suggestion about to buy this phone.
But compare to O2x,which one is the best? Though i like to play games,and some say that atrix doesn't support more than two point of multitouch and has poor frame rate.
Please advise.
Thanks
i can upgrade with AT&T with a free HTC Inspire. Is that better or worst compare to this Atrix 4G?
I bought mine for $180 from some chick who had just gotten the 4s

For starters, do your own research.
Atrix is a better phone imho because it's a dual core phone with more memory, a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, and bigger battery.
Inspire is bigger with 4.3" screen instead of the Atrix's 4". However, it comes in at a lower resolution, is a single core phone, and the battery life is worse.
We had 2 Atrix's and the wife recently moved to the Inspire.
I had used it previously.
She wants to swap back.
The Inspire is a good solid phone. If you like a larger screen it was a great choice. The Atrix 2 would be an alternative now.
Personally I am sticking with the Atrix, does everything I need. For me 4 inch screens are about the sweet spot with phones . I have a tablet for browsing and a laptop for work so prefer this form factor.

thanks guys for the help. The Atrix is $30 upgrade from AT&T so i think i'll get that.
$200... heck $300 is still a great buy for this phone!...

Try another store. You should not have to change data plans they do not expire as long as you are paying for them.
As said just swapped the wife's phone without having to.

Look in the market place here. There are a few for sale or trade. $300 is too steep for a good used one, you should be able to get one closer to $200 easily.
I just traded mine our I would have given you a good deal on it.
Best of luck to you.

The Atrix definitely has potential. Size is perfect. I came from the HTC Aria and before that a Nexus One. Got the Atrix on an upgrade for $50. Solid purchase.

The Aria is an awesome little phone when OC'd running CM7. Not sure what to do with it now that I have the Atrix. As for the Nexus One, its kinda broken. Runs but will eventually reboot with any moderate usage.

Hmm good deal but I personally prefer the Galaxy Note, and would probably pick the Galaxy Nexus over this too because of the $200 price difference.
I've ordered a Galaxy SII and a Galaxy Nexus from Daily Steals within the last 6 months or so. Oh Daily Steals, why doth thou tempt me once again?
For anyone who bought one in the USA: how much was the total after everything? I imagine there were shipping costs, import tax, etc?
Was just browsing the samsung site after i got my new S3, and wow I can't believe it! My S2 gets a quote of $135 from Samsung directly! that's right! i can mail in my phone to samsung and they will give me a cheque for it!
anyone tried this service? do they pay you exactly what is quoted?
Seems to work in US and Canada ATM.
also is the S2 worth more than $135 on the used market?

Your s2 is worth more when you sell it privately. Avoid these type of 'deals' unless you really don't care for the phone and don't wish to make much profit off of it.

www.gazelle.com and www.usell.com I've seen offers for the GS2 as high as $200 recently.
I've found eBay instant sale usually pays the most. looks like up to $220 depending on which S2.

Hmm didn't expect this to turn into an offer thread lol. I have no prior experience with ebay I just wanted convenience. Also I'm from Canada, market is probably slightly different here. Maybe I'll see if my friends can help me sell it on ebay and whatnot. Don't want to be a victim of fraud though, does ebay guarantee you get the money if someone scams you?

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.

so i originally had the iphone 5 but i traded that for an htc one and i must admit am a phone junkie always wanting to switch things up and now i got an offer for my htc one plus 40 dollars. only thing im sad about is downgrading from 32 gigs to 16 but for some reason i really want to try the nexus 4. would you guys reccomend this? yes or no. i dont think you can go wrong with either phone honestly
You're getting ripped off in my books. HTC one is twice the phone mate.

well the thing is nobody on craigslist is selling one. should i ask for more money? if i honestly deserve more money than $40 plus the trade im sure hed understand and if not i can just keep my htc one. i just kind of like the hardware setup of the htc one as far no hardware keys etc
Is the HTC unlocked? Sell it on eBay and buy the nexus. But honestly, it's not worth it the nexus is somewhat of a downgrade. My bro has a one and the screen and speakers alone are a lot better. Plus, 16gb does suck I have 10 GB of music and I don't like to stream because T-Mobile doesn't have the best signal when I'm driving around town. And if you don't like sense put cm on the phone. The developer edition comes out soon so vanilla Roms should be bug free and updates will be on par with Nexus 4

htc is not unlocked i could sell on craigslist though how much money extra would i be getting if i sold my htc one and bought a nexus 4 from ebay. i would honestly rather just keep my htc one than go through that hassle how much money would be good for a fair trade and how can i explain to him such as we already agreed on 40 but plan on meeting up tomorrow

Sell the one on eBay or clist or swappa. Then buy the nexus off of eBay or the playstore. I think a new nexus is about 350 or so. A HTC one used is about 450 to 500 I'm guessing. The point is that a bad deal on your side. The nexus has been out for about a year and the one for about a month. The nexus can be boght brand new at a cheaper rate then the one.

Oh see I don't know how much you can really sell for since its locked to a certain carrier. My brother got a really good deal when upgrading contract it essentially cost him $50 (paid $150 with a $100 mail in rebate) if I were you I would just keep the HTC. Is there something it lacks for you

Its not in stone. I've backed out of deals just say you did some research and the price difference is not worth the trade. You aren't obligated even if you make a verbal agreement to meet.

honestly i just wanted to try something different and the nexus looks pretty bad ass to me i just like the over all design. i am not all up to date on specs and features so im not going in very educated to this trade thats why i came here i like the htc and all but i really have always sort of had a thing for nexus phones. so just keep the htc is the vibe im getting? what phone WOULD be worth trading the htc one for? im always looking for something new...smh
Nexus 4 has a bad photo camera.
No full LTE support.
No extSD.
but has much better software cos it's vainilla/aosp Android with Google binaries that are supported on AOSP without issues.
The Nexus 4 hardware would be a downgrade. How about you flash your H1 to aosp instead? Then you would have the same software as the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Currently no phone is better in my opinion. This and the gs4 are essentially equal in hardware it depends on preference of amoled over LCD. However, I do think the features touchwiz offers like the hover gestures and stuff are better than things sense has

OP, if you are in such a hurry to try the Nexus 4 that you're willing to allow yourself to be ripped off by a local buyer offering you only $50, you are carazy.
$100 is more like it.
