Well - since you did not state if you found any sites that you do not want to buy from how can anyone make a suggestion? What is your criteria for 'decent'? Are you limited in the payment methods you will use? What would make a site not decent?
I do know that they can be found on eBay (but have no idea if you think that eBay is decent since you failed to provide that info), but the price is out of line IMO. There is also an extended battery with it's own cover that might be an option.
Sorry for how I worded that but I cant find any website thay has them.......

FYI, this is the only place I found that carries all 3 colors (black, red, and white). The white backs are very hard to find. I just ordered one so hopefull they'll come through.

Log onto Dell.com and start up a live chat with an online rep. Because since they've pulled the Streak from their catalog, I dont know how to get to the items.
Refer to : Item#: PHFTW
Description: Assembly , Cover,Battery, Stainless Steel, Carbon Black,Streak
I purchased it for $13.99 on 7/7/2011, just before the Streak was pulled.
UPDATE: Heres a Dell STREAK5 Assessories link. Might be of some help.

I called tech support yesterday and told them that I broke off one of the tabs on my battery cover and they are sending me a free replacement. Great service from Dell!

WOW!, jm5503 should give them a try while they're hot!
Are the Captivates being sold on Amazon safe to buy? I wonder how did the sellers get them since they are new and unlocked. I also wonder whether they might be refurbished.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I purchased two of them, and should be getting them tomorrow. I'll let you know what my experiences are. From the reviews though it looks like SOME sellers are being sneaky, and that other people have gotten truly new devices.
Great! Thanks.
I also read the reviews but wanted to make sure..

Well both of the ones that showed up for me were the same...
They have a clause on the side of the box saying (approx) " this phone was refurbished with oem and replacement parts and is not affiliated with any OEM..."
-NON original packaging. They're in a Samsung box instead of the original AT&T box. It says "new" on it under the condition.
-No manuals or any kind of paperwork
-Comes with a charger and phone
-phones had sloppily applied sticky plastic covers on every surface but look totally new. Like perfect new.
-Batteries are dated from 2010 (maybe consider replacing, or use them anyway)
Hard to say how they got into the sellers hands in these funny boxes, and I don't know how to explain the plastic covers, but they look and feel new. I can't find a scratch anywhere on either phone so it looks legit to me. I'll probably be keeping them. Still a killer deal in 2012 for a phone with these specs. I'm personally using mine as a media player and this far exeeds what's on the market at this price point IMO.
Enjoy!
I see. Well I hope they work well for you. Thanks for the detailed reply.

After using my unlocked Dell Streak 5 on T-Mobile for over a year (seemed like an eternity at 2G speeds), I just got the Note.... What a SWEET device!!

No stores in my area carry the note, so I orders from walmart. Been on the art version for 4 months and can't wait to get back to hspa+ speeds.
Hey auds.... I wish you Godspeed in getting your Note.... Mine took about a week to arrive (ordered through Customer Retention dept. at T-Mobile)..... The week seemed like forever, but keep your chin up..... It's WELL worth the wait

Well, damned Walmart cancelled my order. Chatted with CSR for 20 min, she didn't know what happened, so I ordered again and got on chat right away so it wouldn't get cancelled, but it did. Don't know if it was out of stock or what. Just a pisser. I have to call T-Mo as none of the stores in the Portland area have it yet. I hate waiting.
Auds.... I've read on several reputable websites that WireFly is selling it for $179 (with contract.... New or existing customer)... You might want to check that out.... Let me know how it turns out Good luck!

New customer, yes, great price. Make sure you go to wireflyfriends.com, not the regular wirefly website. Had to hunt around for that info, when I couldn't find it at the 179 price on the regular Wirefly website.
For existing TMobile customers, you must be upgrade eligible when you order. I placed my order, and it came back denied because I'm not yet eligible for handset upgrade. The non-upgrade price is much more.
12 Years with T-Mo can pay off!

I went through T-Mo retention and was able to wrangle a $150 price (plus a SGS3 for $180 and a free SGS2)! I'm supposed to be receiving all my goodies today. I had to check yesterday since the automated system kept telling me I had nothing in transit.
For all those customers that wonder, 12 years as a customer does pay off sometimes!
Good to hear!! Mine is on backorder through TMo cust loyalty....grrrr.....
Spich...
I wasn't going to divuldge the price, but I too, got mine for $149 through T-Mobile Customer Retention for $149... I think I did pay extra (in addition to the $149), for express shipping (well worth it.... Note was delivered to my front door 3-days later)

Also... If you haven't ordered the "USB OTG" adapter, it's the coolest accessory ever.... I paid $15 through Amazon w/ free shipping.... It lets you plug USB devices (like key-chain thumb drives), directly into your Note.... Way cool!! (but I haven't tried it with other USB devices like keyboards yet)

The otg adapters can be had for 2-3 bucks each on amazon or eBay, look around a little and you can find them cheaper but it really is one of the best accessories you can grab, nothing like being able to copy to and from a USB flash drive while out with your phone only.
Yep i love it already but i am scared to drop it. Doesnt fit on my hand all that well. Had it for one day, its rooted and installed ubuntu chroot check out my post from developer section. Otg work great with keyboard mouse combo

Hey,
Trying to find a genuine, NEW Samsung battery to give new life to my used Nexus S. Any one have any ideas? It seems like all the ones I find are either used, or probably not real...
I'm looking for this too...

Did you try asking Samsung? I have been on the same mission to get a genuine battery, I emailed their customer support asking about buying a genuine battery in the UK and they responded within 12 hours:
In regards to your enquiry, all our official accessories and spare parts can be bought from the following sites:
www dot samsungdirect dot com/uk
www dot 4mysamsung dot co dot uk/
If they don't have the parts you require, you can contact them directly to enquire.

4mysamsung dot co dot uk has what appears to be a compatible Nexus S battery (GH43-03359B) and ships globally (shipping to Canada is £8). If you ask there might well be a Canada
(I also saw www dot exportprive dot com recommended on here for genuine Samsung batteries, apparently they export from Korea so it may be a good option)

I got one on Amazon, from Samsung. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026LQL40/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

The purpouse for this thread is purely informational to see what other peoples experiences have been in the repair process involving LG
I am not really looking for stories of how LG (or Google) simply replaced your phone, but rather out of warranty cases, what you had to do, how much it might have cost out of pocket and for what repaired.
This is so others like my self know what to possibly expect.
My story:
I picked up this phone on Craigslist for $30 already knowing it was bricked, in hopes that I might be able to reserect it. upon finding out (after money was exchanged) that it was done not just while trying to root but that he believes that the wrong file was used when his "friend" was trying to do it i realized that it was probably the wrong boot loader so many have loaded by mistake. After figuring out my only solution based on my research was probably a JTAG service I decided to give LG a call, and told them what was up. asked if I could send it it and get a quote to re-flash it. unfortunately when i got it the rear glass was already cracked and i was upfront about this. upon inspection they said they wanted to replace the entire housing including the LCD as well as the main board. I was unable to get further details as to what was wrong with the board, but they only wanted to replace the LCD due to a scratch on the front. I tried to just have them replaced the board but it was an all or nothing deal. Soooo... not having $181 laying around for basically a new phone with my old battery I had them ship it back.
Additional Information: upon having my unit shipped back to me I discovered it to be shipped back with no padding other then the shipping invoice in the very thin box and a non-padded plastic envelope. I contacted LG as I was concerned about additional damage to my phone that I might not be able to determine till such time as I might be able to send it back when i can afford the repairs they informed me this was standard shipping whether my phone was repaired or not, I told them the box had been crushed on one side and I was told they would make a note and send it to their service center so a change in packaging could be made if it was deemed appropriate.
Parts LG would like to have replaced for the aforementioned $181 (USD):
Battery cover (with glass)
Mainboard
LCD (including digitizer and front glass assembly)
LCD replaced, $140 total.

Only 40$ more and they include a new mainboard? Sounds cheap.
I won't hesitate paying 180 and get a totally new phone. You can always sell it after and earn some dollars, considering you just payed 30 for it. It's your only solution, buying a mainboard and a screen would be much more expensive.

So you paid $30 for the phone and for $181 ($211 total) you will essentially have a brand new n4? Outside of the shoddy return packaging I see no issue with this.
To be honest though, if you can't afford a $180 repair bill you have other priorities that need addressing just sell the phone for a profit (you'll get alot more than $30 on ebay.)

Maybe, but for a phone with broken glass and mainboard, you can only use battery and some other components which not usually break. Will be impress if you get more than 50-60 dollars and then discounting what PayPal and eBay charges...
I'm really impress they only charge you 180 for a full fix. If I were you I will just wait until I get the money, then fix it and sell it.
As of my experience, I had my screen replaced by LG due to a white pixel, (didn't have RMA choice). They did not charge for it and sent it back in 4 working days.

I do recognize the value here. trust me . I plan on getting it repaired as soon as I have funds as I would love to be able to use it. Just have to sell my spare phone (Atrix HD) first. At the end of the day, the only real complaint I have is that the LG service center has an all or nothing policy. The rear glass is broken (i have a nice TPU case that hides it) the LCD and digitizer is fine, just has a scratch on the screen (I can deal ith that), I just want the Mainboard replaced but they will either do all of it or none of it. I understand why, they want to guarantee their product. just a bummer for those that might not have quite that much cash on hand for such things.

I actually think they are not charging for the main board, that will explain the price. If it hasn't got any signs of physical damage they usually repair it free of charge. I had my Gnex main board replaced after a sudden death having no warranty, bills or anything.

Have you followed the return to stock guide using fast boot to re-flash stock images? I had a scare when returning mine to stock and followed that guide and got it back to life.

Trust me I tried every thing I could. I ended up selling another phone I has lying around and shipped my N4 off for repair. Should be back by next week. according to the invoice they are replacing basically everything but the battery. Looking forward to having it back
Attached is the form from LG, with the personal info changed of course.
LG recieved mine on the 22nd and charged me 140 to fix it . . still haven't received it back or anything haven't even heard from them since they called me telling me the LCD is damaged I'm just hoping i get it back by saturday.. I didn't get a detailed email from them or anything either but i noticed it took them 9 days to send you one so i guess patience is the key.
So I just got mine back and there's a yellow blob on the screen and its really annoying what do I do ? Call Google for an RMA or call LG again

If you received it back from LG for service I would call LG again.
Back and good as new.
I have received back my N4 from service. had to call 3 times to figure out what was going on since there is no reliable way to check online. was told on Wednesday to call back on Friday to get and update and hopefully tracking information. then received an email stating it had been shipped on Thursday. It was shipped back 2 day service (FedEx) and got it on Saturday. I have all ready rooted it and got it up and going. It looks new from top to bottom. over all I am pretty happy with the service turn around time. But (recognizing I am a bit impatient) I felt like I had to be more involved with keeping up with what was going on then I would have cared to. Status updates are important to me when it comes to such expensive items.
