Hey I really want to get the Galaxy S II but it's not in my poor student budget. So I was thinking about selling my Galaxy S i9000 on Ebay. Do you guys have any tips for me? I have quite a lot of paid apps and the condition is very good. So what could I expect?
Or should I wait buying the Galaxy S II ?
Thanks a lot
bump. please help me guys

I don't have tips, but if you bought all these through the market they are tied to your gmail account when you goto the new phone, so, the person buying the phone wouldn't have them
Unless of course you are selling your gmail account too ^^ As far as price, in Canada, people are selling for 200-300 on craigslist
Agree you cannot sell your apps .
Most will transfer to SGS 2

thanksssss

I always sell my old phones via ebay.
To get top dollar you need the box and all original accessories. Phone needs to be in good condition and preferably factory reset. If you flashed it preferably flashed back to "current" stock so that the buyer can use kies for updates if they wish.
If you search ebay and select for "completed listings" you'll find how much others have actually sold for as opposed to how much they are currently being bid up to. Approx £200 +- 15%. If you don't meet the conditions above it'll be less.
Listing and final selling fees approx 10%, plus paypal fees will make a hole in your selling price
As others have said, your paid apps are attached to your Google account so remain with you when you port your account to your new phone....they can't be sold on.
Hope this helps, good luck
I was told about a retailmenot coupon that would net me a refurbished galaxy tab from AT&T for $250, but today when I went to buy one I found the terms had changed. The discount now only applies to accessories you buy on top of the tab.
I was really disappointed to find the price had gone up (I have almost no need for accessories).
Has anyone else found great deals for the galaxy tab?
nah for me , i bought the galaxy tab , around 900$ in malaysia , without contract CASH .. and after 2months i found the price drop down 300 .. it was like a shock . but hell no , my tab enjoyment worth even 10000$ to have such a nice friends here in the XDA forum Galaxy Tab Section ... dude , if you really wanna buy it , do not focus on the price , focus on the things that will come after you have it ..

Got mine off Woot a few weeks ago for $280. To me when you start pushing the $300 mark for a wifi only tablet you're pushing it. I can't see myself paying much more than that for a tablet. None of the devices really stand out from their peers at this point and it remains to be seen if there really is a long term market for them. I see prices dropping drastically at least for Android tablets as the holidays approach.
I know price is not the most important factor, but I'm just a college kid looking for a cheap yet high-quality tablet that I can use until better, namely quad-core, technology is released.
That $50 or $100 really matters because there is so much that can be done with that money and I'd like to save as much as I can. Can anyone help me find a good deal?
If you're looking for a sprint gtab go to ebay.com.au (australia), they have been selling tabs for less than $200. Not sure about postage rates though...

You're basically buying a toy though. Paying $400-500 for a toy is too much IMO. Especially if you're on a typical college student's budget.
The at&t website lists a refurbished 3g tab for $299. www.att.com
G2x was a great phone, and despite LG's various fails it was corrected by our devs. But, as a fandroid, you have that little voice in the back of your head making your life miserable when there is a nexus annouced, or even better hardware for that matter.
I just bit the bullet and ordered an unlocked GN. $696 and some change, including shipping and bank fees. God help me, this android addiction is getting out of hand
It's the GSM flavor, imported of course. Who want's to deal with Verizon and the mockery they have made of the Nexus brand? F*ck you Verizon, Google - I am disappointed in you for being Verizon's B*tch The European GN is the true Nexus.
Any other fandroids out there want to join me?
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINK
It is just a pre-order for now, but stock is expected in 2 days. And if your cautious, handtec is a reputable vendor, pay with Google Checkout and your butt should be covered

The Droid RAZR is $649 off contract, add tax and your looking at an easy $700+ It's 16GB as well, only difference is the lack of an SD card slot on the GN Oh well, it's not that bad - my galaxy tab doesn't have an SD card slot either and that doesn't bother me at all

I paid around $600 (after tax and all that) for my Vibrant off contract. The fact that this is penta-band and allows you to use it with any carrier is definitely a plus and if you pick good no-contract plans, you can easily come out way ahead of getting a subsidized phone on contract.

I didn't really post as a farewell, it was to reassure anyone who was planning on switching to the Nexus I never left, and I plan on keeping my NVFlash Guide updated even after I do
I wont make the same mistake again, i will wait a couple of months after it comes out, see development, then maybe buy one. Got g2x on 4/20 early in the morning and even tho i got a good phone, NVIDIA (dumb asses) really are holding devs down.
Why do you guys insist on writing such a stupid comments "Why are you posting this"
"We don't care, GTFO"
Don't you have anything else to do other then to troll the forum?
It's his/her choice. This does not mean that he should stopped posting on this forum and move on to his new forum.
I will be buying N9 in near future and I will continue to see how development of this phone is moving forward as well as participate in discussions.

I was going to make fun of you for having an EDGE only phone.. then I looked at the 4g icon on my G2X which equates to EDGE speeds despite claiming to be connected to 4g....
Can I have your old G2X? Mine got scratches on the screen on day 2
The way it works is you sell the G2x for $200. Use the money and pick a contract phone with high resell value. Sell it for the price of the Nexus. Live happily.
The G2x is still sweet. But I'll probably pick a Nexus up on Verizon through work to save from paying a personal cell. Depends on development and issues. I'm still torn.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

+1 to that.
Omar, I hope the GN goes well for you! I've been itching for one, but I told myself I'm gonna stick with the G2x for a while since for the past 5 years I've been getting a new phone every year, hahaha. I want to see how far I can take this thing.
Plus... I don't think I have the dough to just shell out, lol.

is a nice phone ^^
Would really like to buy this phone, been looking on the internet but all the usual suspect like carphone warehouse and phones 4 u don't have this handset, so just a simple question.
Where are people buying their handsets from please?
Many thanks.
PS: I'm in the UK.
EDIT: Just noticed that T-mobile are selling it.
I would buy it on expansys or maybe in German shops...it's no big deal because you live in Europe ...and I think on a t-mobile shop they are really expensive

no edge isn't even 3G . Hopefully they roll out the 1900mhz network here soon. I know it's already done in Vegas. They need to do it soon, because it would help them with Iphones as well. They are losing a bunch of customers because of this.
ohhh man thats rough... yeh hopefully they roll out the 1900mhz.... I want you guys to enjoy this gem too
Holy shiiiyit, quite a response, i'm guessing that this phone is something to shout about then, so i'll be picking mine up as soon as i can raise the capital, going to try and get orange care too as it's easily the best insurance.
I'm only a few months into my contract with a standard S3 so i'll sell this beauty and I also have a One X to go too, so should be near the mark when it comes to buying.
I don't mind about the lock on the phone, i'm pretty sure that Voodoo will release something.
I appreciate all of your responses and will thank you all but i only get 8 a day so i'll start from the top.
Many thanks.

Hello there m8, how hope your well, in all honesty i'll just buy it from T-mobile, unless Orange have something i can get.
If not then it's online i go, can't stand flea bay and would prefer a nice long warranty if possible, might wait until carphone warehouse have it, should be a couple of weeks, beginning of November, i'll ask Raffa if he's getting one, he should as i imagine the porting process should be a breeze.
PS: Did you say it's actually thinner?? That's mental if it's true, have they changed the cooling method or something?
Bought the S2 earlier this year and subsequently lost it an an airport so need a new one. Was going to replace it with the same after getting the insurance money but I have now discovered that the seller I got the S2 from is selling the S3 for about 50 quid more. Is it worth the upgrade? Don't think I will have a use of the pen.

Even though the S3 has many teething troubles, for only £50 more, I'd take the punt. When Samsung sort the problems out, you will be paying a lot more than £50 a few years down the line if you want to upgrade.
Maybe find out what the issues are and ask yourself if any are deal breakers? :angel:

Will do. There seems to be a weird magnet issue going on that I don't fully understand.
Go for the S3 as you still have a future software upgrade path. The S2 will likely have come to its final upgrade

Agreed ashyx. :highfive:
One slight chink of light is the fact that the 2016 S2 8" version is still the most recent 8" flagship Samsung device. Maybe it will get its third OS update?
Don't you think 50 quid more is too good to be true?
S3 is a whopping 599.00 and if you shop around maybe you can get it for 540.00 at a pinch. S2 easily get it for 300.00 so if I was offered the S3 for 350.00 I'd be asking some questions .... u less of course you are talking second hand ... but even then.
For me, the S3 is overpriced for what it is. I someone like Huawei got hold of a Samsung OLED panel, it could really upset the market and drive down the price of the S3.

Samsung are really taking the 'p' these days, there is no limit to what they think they can charge. The Note 8 had me absolutely gobsmacked at nearly £900. What's next a £1500 phone?
Yeah £600 for a tablet is pretty high and given the features I think it's OTT frankly but if people pay Samsung will continue to dip into your wallet. Embedded batteries makes the £600 or £860 Note 8 still a 2 year deal as batteries don't last and I hate the fact that they did that for the phones in particular - I value my note 4 with spare batteries which I can swap in when needed and there are so many times when not having one would have been a major inconvenience.
I'll look for other brands - it's always best to go with the guys who have to try harder to get your business. When they get to Samsung status it's "take it or leave it" attitude but thats' to be seen everywhere sadly.

Agree with everything you say Louis. :highfive:
I bought the Mrs a Huawei mediapad M3 open box for only £142 in the USA a few weeks ago so I will get to see it in person in a few weeks time. With a high end Kirin SoC, 4GB ram things like a brilliant FP scanner and even a notification LED, it could give my S2 a run for its money. The icing on the cake would be an OLED screen but it seems Samsung are not selling these to others at tablet size.
Let's hope it turns out to be good. I think I need to go look at these offerings and see if the screens are a deal breaker or not. I got my tab second hand and because the screen was a good contender for the ipad retina. And I do appreciate it since the tab is my bedtime movie theatre
I'm sure the other guys will catch up .. Hopefully sooner or later, but if I have to stick with Kim Sami I guess I will go the ebay route and hope to find batteries as I did with the tab s.
