Does anyone have any suggestions of "affordable" alternatives to the 8925 Tilt/Kaiser? I can't afford many of them that you might suggest but know on Ebay you can find almost anything. I have found lots of these phones around $70 to $80 in near-mint condition, and that's about all I can put into one right now.

Hey,
I just got my 8525 about two months ago. What is my best plan of action for upgrading to the Kaiser? Does Cingular offer any kind of upgrade discount or anything like that where I can trade in the old phone? Or should I just sell it on EBay?
No help at all for this subject?
at&t/cingular does not offer any type of trade incentives for upgrading. ebay is your best bet to recoup any value from your 8525.
I am not sure how you expect us to answer the question as the Kaiser has not even been released yet. I agree with jamiefielder though that Ebay will likely be one of only a few avenues to trade up with. I am not aware of any of the companies doing anything for high end stuff. Sure they will give you a cheap motorola phone if you lock into a contract, but not for high end stuff.
None of the companies will give you any upgrade after only two months Your only choice is to sell the 8525 and buy the 8925 when it is available.

Im not sure where you are at but if you dont mind waiting you can donate it and get some of teh money back on taxes if you itemize. I have a razor and a verizon push to talk phone that i will be donating
Thanks guys I thought so but I just wanted to make sure.
I will probably be buying the phone just straight out not looking to upgrade or anything, so I will just sell the 8525.
Quick ? though for anyone looking around this thread: Is it ever worth it for me to get data/internet plans? I am simply a college student who does no business but likes the nice phone and all the calendar/phone/roms/word mobile, etc etc. But I'm not sure about the usefulness of getting an internet package. Does anyone know anything specifically that they use the internet for on the phones?
I use it to get my email, and also to check stuff online if I'm just putzing around away from a computer. Plus I use telenav, so need a data plan for that. I went with the Media Max Unlimited plan. Gives you unlimited data and 200 sms, which I need anyway, so basically I have unlimited internet for $15 a month. That's worth it to me.
I have a Tilt for sale that is pretty much brand spanking new. I've used it, I'm not going to lie about that. It has Dutty's latest ROM, and has some nice extra things, such as Garmin's GPS Navigator activated. This I'm not sure how much to sell it for, I guess I'll say best offer for now.
I also have two Tilts that I want to sell which are refurbished, unlocked and flashed with new ROMs. The only problem is that they don't have a back case, battery or stylus as well as other accessories. To be quite honest, I bought them from AT&T's warranty department which is why they lack everything. If this is a problem, I can buy the accessories and package them together with the phone. If it isn't a problem, I'd like to let them go for around $200 before accessories (that' how much I paid for the phones).
200 before or after you buy accessories?

Before, because I payed almost 200 dollars for the refurbs.
I am looking to buy a Kaiser, I am already on a plan and I DON'T WANT TO RENEW OR CHANGE my plan. I would like to know the cheapest possible price for a semi-new(not many scratches on screen or casing) or refurbished Kaiser. Please guide me to the best place, as far as I have seen, the cheapest well kept kaisers are on ebay for ~$300 usd.
Thanks to all who wish to share their knowledge.
Well without knowing where you live, it kinda hard to offer good advice , id try looking at http://www.craigslist.org/about/cities , to see if someone is selling one locally , this you can test to see if it works first hand, also $300ish is about the going price right now.
Thanks for the advice.
As aditional info,
I live in Phoenix,Arizona, USA.
yea i also recommend craigslist as you can haggle the price.. i was able to get a great condition tilt with no scratches for 200...
I'm glad I've got phone insurance! I'm on my 5th Kaiser and have spent exactly $100 on all of them combined.
Up for sale is a gently used AT&T Tilt. I've owned it for around 6 months now and have loved every minute of it...selling because there are many options I still don't use so I am downgrading a little.
Slider is still strong as ever, only a couple of minor blemishes as seen in the pics. (scratch on bottom left of battery cover & silver over camera area worn off a little)
INCLUDES: AT&T Tilt phone, USB Cord, Wall Charger and I am throwing in a fresh 4gb MicroSDHC card...plenty of space for adding songs!
This phone has been security unlocked (Spl 3.56) and the ROM can be set to whatever you choose without issue. Current ROM (PDACornerUltimate v11) includes Manilla2d which is a great, finger-friendly menu slider...also utilizing WM6.1.
Asking $300
Let me know if you have any questions.

First and only bump...if no takers/offers then it is going on eBay.
To be honest, I dont think you are going to get many hits with a price point of $300. You can get a refurb from ATT ( literally like new ) for $99.
Goodluck selling it though
You're right...$99 with a 2yr contract on AT&T's network.
Thank you for the luck.

Are you interested in buying it ? if not what does it matter what he sells it for or wants for it ? I have seen many of these threads , and the OP generally gets what he wants for it, me I prefer that the value stay up on the Tilts..
$300 is not unreasonable

I just skimmed Ebay, and there are over a dozen with with buy it now prices from $200 to 350 plus shipping some with mem cards other with out.
so his asking price is with the norm..
thanks misfitflt but I already have too many toys as it is...
Thanks, F250, I appreciate it.
Should have updated this earlier...sorry.
Phone sold for $250, dents and all. Not too shabby for ~7 months of using it.
Oh...and hello 16gig iPhone.
What's the best place for me to buy an X1a? Thus far, the only places I know of are Best Buy and SonyStyle. I know I can save a ton of cash on eBay, but I want the factory warranty to work in case anything ever goes wrong with it. Normally, I'm a fix it yourself kind of guy, but the X1a quality issues I've seen on this board scare me, and make me feel as if I really need a warranty/exchange policy to back me up on this purchase.
Does anyone have any reccomendations or insight?
I bought mine from BestBuy, I wouldn't trust eBay just yet, you'll probably end up with a silver X1i.
i bought mine at sony style a while back. i would buy from best buy, its cheaper and you can always return before the first months runs out if you have a problem with it.
Try Dell $637

If you have a Fry's Electronics in your area I would recommend them. I believe I saw them carrying the X1a for around $700. Save yourself a few bucks, plus I've had excellent dealings with them in the past.
