Has there been any rumblings of Nexus One getting a price drop? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that it's still retailing for the same price as the Nexus S (at least, according to my friend with Android Developer access).
What happened to the G1? Did the price drop on that after the N1 was released?
Would be interested in this as well done since I'm thinking about getting a second n1 for backup purposes...

If Im correct google stop selling nexus one in general like around october. First you couldnt buy it then omly developers could then they decided to not sell any. Where would you buy it if their was a price drop best buy dont sell it google.com neither.

It is in stock on the developer site.
Firs off Im sorry if this doesnt belong here but I didnt know where else to post it. I have an HD7 (obviously) but I really wanted an HD2. I have a classmate in my econ class that is willing to trade me his HD2 for my HD7. But my question is would it be reasonable to also ask for some cash since my HD7 is not only permantely developer unlocked but also SIM unlocked? If so how much cash could I ask for?

I would ask at least one hundred with the trade simply because the hd2 is old now and the hd7 although is similar its newer and will have different development and updates real soon

Sorry as much as I love My hd7 and windows phone 7, asking for 100 bucks is a ripoff....and i'm sure the dude will likely laugh in your face(unless he doesn't know his phones)
Hell, I laughed when i read the 100 bucks suggestion(not being rude but it was funny lol)
Windows mobile on it's own is a great OS as it is....And it has a lot of features that you can't currently find in Windows phone 7
Couple in the fact that you can now run Android AND Windows phone 7 along with Windows Mobile, it's on par if not better
If the HD2 is old, then the HD7 is old.
Same Processor
Same Body
Same Camera
Same Exact phone pretty much
1)Except different OS/Ui
2)And more buttons on the hD2
So do a fair trade but my question is...Why do you want an HD2?
Regardless of what you can/can't do with either phone or peoples opinions on either device, the HD2 is a cheaper device. Perhaps the HD7 should not be "worth" more than the HD2, but at the end of the day it is.
Although i'd say 100$ is a bit much, i certainly wouldn't begrudge you taking at least a bit of cash for the swap, if not only for the fact it is a much younger device
How is it cheaper.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I think you should ask for some money for it as the HD7 is a more expensive device. Regardless of what people argue of what the HD2 can do or that it might be the same specs and whatnot, the HD7 retails for more new and sells for more used (check eBay). I wouldn't just go in on an even trade unless you just really want the HD2 that bad.
Bingo. And anybody who says otherwise is in denial.
As I said before, it's not about what people think the phone should be worth, at the end of the day it's what they RRP/sell for that is the deciding factor.
Guess im in denial. Lmao it retails for more because its a completely different OS aka newer. The hd2 has been out for a long time with windows mobile and the hd7 has only been out with windows phone 7 for months.
Still no regards to how it is cheap because it is the same exact phone. I've owned both
If you ask for cash then ask for cash based on OS not on hardware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Even trade, imo, and maybe the HD2 owner can ask for cash. While it doesn't have capacitive buttons, it's a sturdier design imo. Not to mention the 'tinkerers dream' aspect.
Having owned both, however, I wouldn't go back to the HD2.
Likewise

lol this is madness!
Take this conversation and put it into any other situation involving different products and you'd be sentenced to life in a mental facility.
Take the automotive industry. We'll replace the phones with cars.
A new Dodge Viper comes out (HD7), new design (exterior) and a new quicker engine (OS). Everything else remains the same. John Smith bought one but realised he doesn't like the new engine and prefers the old one. So he finds Joe Bloggs who's got the old Version of a Dodge Viper (HD2) and offers a trade for the new one (HD7). Joe Bloggs says he'll do it, but rather than just swapping his old Dodge Viper (HD2) for a New one (HD7), he wants a further £10,000.
This is essentially what you guys sound like.
Analogies don't always translate well, such as cars vs. phones.
Same processor, same camera, same memory. Obviously the OS is much nicer, but WP7 has been successfully ported over to the HD2. Aside from a kickstand, physical camera button, and touch capacitive buttons (and crappier speaker?), taking the OS out of the equation, try and make a compelling reason why someone would choose the HD7 over the HD2.
Playing devils advocate here a little, as I personally wouldn't give up my HD7 for an HD2.
Age
You stated my analogy didn't work but it fits perfectly into what you've just said
Look, let's get one thing straight. I'm NOT saying that the HD7 is the better phone out of the two and haven't done at any point. The OP is basically asking if the HD7 costs more than the HD2, and the answer is yes. End of.
Go into any shop, search any website, browse any market, it's more expensive than the HD2.
Right now on the T-Mo USA website, HD7 is $499 unsubsidized, $99 w/2 year contract. HD2 is $449 unsub, $49 with two year.
HD7 is, therefore, $50 "better" in the real world. I don't think the OP would be unfair asking for $50. Worst case scenario, the HD2 owner says no.
Lol ask for the fifty bucks. Im dying to see what his response will be
I still really have not read a reason to justify asking for cash
But hey maybe the other guy is an uniformed sap lol

What do you mean u haven't read a reason to justify asking for cash?!?
Is the post just above yours invisible to you or something? Or do we all need to be mental for you to understand?
Lmao audio is it really THAT serious haha.
I don't go by suggested retail completely because different retailers charge different prices and what not. I would just use the suggested retail as a starting point.
At the end of the.day, the phones are nearly the same in every aspect aside from the software on top and cosmetic differences.
I've yet to read any thing that proves that it be right to.charge or ask for money to balance it out
If this was an evo for an hd2 or hd7, I could see someone saying I would need more cash because my evo is worth more. An evo, has nearly the same look of an hd7 more than a Hd2.....yet it has enough differentiating features to warrant charging someone extra money....despite the fact that at full retail, the hd7 costs more.
As it stands, an hd2 trade for an hd7 is a fair even trade.
But at the end of the day its my opinion

I just traded my hd2 for a hd7 with no cash on top..That guy really wanted android...after a week, I traded the hd7 for a mint hd2 with $70 on top. So I think I just got free money just by trading on phones around..

Yea good thing you got SOME cash for it cause no matter if the phones are "alike" the point of the matter is The HD7 is "newer" so it cost more money due to the retail value of it therefore making the HD7 worth more then the HD2.
But I bet here in the near future both phones will be worth around the same.
Hd2 FTW...I love to customize my shizzzz
Release date coming tomorrow! Let's figure out the cheapest way to purchase one. Please post the following:
1. How much you paid
2. Where you ordered or purchased
3. If you used full or partial upgrade or no contract extension.
4. Any discounts applied and how you acquired said discounts.
I think the cheapest I've seen is wirefly, they have it for $150 on a 2yr contract, but it won't ship until the 20th.

Personally, I'm looking to use a partial upgrade as I am 13 months into a 2 year contract. I have seen people get amazing deals using various methods. I'm hoping to get it for around $250.
I'm looking to possibly purchase for full price and use on AT&T, so please include any deals on full retail prices.
3700 danish kr... about 500 dollars. Without contract.

900kr + 450kr x 6 months (3600 kr = 699USD). This includes 5gb data, 2 hours of talk, free sms and mms. I think it was a rather good deal, in Danish context.
@Thomasmj86
500USD ~2500kr
Does this phone have an easily unlocked bootloader? My friend asked if I would recommend this, and I was unsure how to respond. He is a T-mobile USA user.

I read somewhere that LG has no plans to lockdown bootloaders unlike HTC with the Sensation and other new phones.
FYI, this thread is for t-mobile g2x prices, not lg optimus 2x...
thanks, where did you buy yours??
I have a partial upgrade (13 months in a 2 year contract) and it is showing $349 for me. A little more than I wanted to pay but I think I'll go for it.
I paid £379.99 cos my contract isn't up for another 1yr 3 mth and couldn't wait that long for this phone, gave my desire to the girlfriend
got mine off ebay here

Witha 2-years contract and rebates from both LG and my carrier, I got mine for €129 (~USD180). Bargain of the century.

Hello,
I have to say goodbye to the Optimus 2x community. This evening i just sold my phone and i bought a new HTC Evo 3D. I sold it for 350$ and i bought the Evo for the same money (i got a big discount from a shop here in Romania). The Evo is new, unused, bought from the shop, not second-hand.
Did i make a good choice? What do you say?

Hard to say. I'm pretty happy with my Optimus 2X after having rooted it this saturday.
In Romania, it costs ~ 500$ (+/- 100$).
Indeed my phone was 3 months old, without any scratch etc.
Spec of the HTC Evo 3D looks very good. Worse still camera/video it seems but good spec Haven't read a review.
Considering you got it for the same price... well done (I take it you didn't have to take a contract to get it at that price?)
Anyway... at the end of the day.. what's the worst that can happen? You sell it and then try another phone if you don't like it?
Nope, no contract.
Wow. I checked the UK prices, and looks like you got a very good deal
you can get the HTC EVO 3D in every "Media Markt" (something like a german Best Buy) for 269 EUR = 342 Dollar without any additional discounts^^
you can even buy it online...

BUT
the lg optimus speed/2x costs exactly the same (even the white version)

4X HD price dropped by US$38 exactly 1 month after launch here to coincide with the price drop of Moto What kind of marketing strategy is this? First time I ever bought a LG smartphone and I feel frustrated though I am happy with my 4X.
What about other countries? Is there a price drop? The 4X is selling at approximately US$602 here from yesterday.
It's 438e here, about 538 dollar. Dropped here a bit as well few days ago

I'm wondering where you saw the LG Swift 4X HD at that price in Poland.
In physic stores the cheapest I found was in Euro-AGD, where I bought mine. On the Internet the cheapest I found was in CENEO.pl and the lowest price its 1894,39 zł, converting, its 464.31€ (themoneyconverter.com).
You have a secret dealer or you miss the conversion?
I bought my 4X in RTV EURO AGD too, 1999zł, that lowest price is from allegro.pl
Today it's on sale for 389€ in Germany. I bought mine for 479€ only 4 weeks ago.
Where do you see that price dude? Amazon still sells it for 439

I see you're from Belgium about my area. The price you quote is probably CoolBlue.
Which is AFIAK the only "store" whom actually has it. Fnac groenplaats, the phone house (wijnegem shopping center), Allo Telecom Nationalestraat don't have it. Fnac only had the Prada phone though.
Perhaps we could meet and share experiences. I´m too interested in buying one. Though I just wait a bit because I expect the price to come down more when the 4X HD's successor will be revealed in September.
Then it'll be either the 4X or the new kid on the block (if it also can record calls which I absolutely require).
If interested Pm me.
Dropped about $20 in Australia. Waiting for it to drop a bit more. I may snap one for myself
That's sucks. I bought mine three weeks ago for 480 euros.
@Winudert: Yeah that sucks indeed. I've seen them advertised on Amazon.de for 435 euro's. Expect the price to fall down evenb more when (the few) shops starts ditching them in preparation for new stock (either iPhone 5, the win 8 Nokia's or the 4x HD's sucessor).
The weird thing is that I first had my interest on the Nokia 808 pureview (which I presumed would fall in price quickly after release). That device kept it's high price though. While I've seen HTC One X for 519 euro (now back up to 529 euro).
Anyway. The 4X HD seems atm the best price for a big-screen, quad-core android device. A pity that there still are a few niggles that LG should have been fixed from the O2X like the missing notification light.
I understand that there are 3rd party solutions to fix this. But you need to root your phone first. If LG put something similar in the official firmware then we wouldn't need to hack our phones for such a trivial thing. Not to mention that I can't imagine a little LED costing so much.
