Hey guys, I bought from a guy on ebay who claims that he's selling a T-Mobile HD2 digitizer, but when it came, it's one of the ones that have soldering points, meaning it is for HTC HD2 (see my post here about it).
So now I bought from another guy (hopefully the right one this time), and I have a HTC HD2 digitizer unused unopened just lying around, going to waste.
If anyone wants it, I'll send it over for $40 + shipping.
If you're in Toronto, Canada, just come pick it up, save on the shipping cost.
Mate - you're not supposed to sell stuff in the general forums. Besides, the marketplace forum is better for you since people are looking there to buy stuff...

Ask a mod to move the thread, or just post in there and ask for this to be deleted.
Good luck with your sell
Sorry man I totally didn't know that XDA actually had a trade forum...
It's ok, I'm letting this run 1 more day before I just go ahead and return it to ebay seller for refund.

No worries mate. I wasn't TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO
Just wanted to point you at the best place for selling stuff, so you'd get more response.
Good luck
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
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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
So I tried to sell my thrill, after having chosen the atrix after a day or two of comparing them in hand
I got one call that really made me angry
I was lowballed all the way to $320 for a pretty much brand new thrill [every sticker still on phone, a few minutes talk time, very careful and very cautious testing as to keep the phone in mint new condition]
The guy said "No one cares about LG"
and "no one cares about the thrill"
I asked why he wanted it, and he said "his wife"
I told him it was ridiculous to sell it for $320 when new inspires [HTC] sell for $250 and new atrix sell for $320, and why in the world would I sell a phone that is only a week old and dual core with a 4.3 inch screen for the same price?
He said it was stupid and that if he wanted to spend more he'd buy an iphone 4 for $340, to which I told him the iphone 4 won't even be worth $250 when the iphone 5 comes out. he then replies that's what 3gs is worth and I'm pretty much laughing..
then he starts saying, he doesn't care, and the best phone anyways is the sensation, the only phone worth buying is the sensation
to which I say the G2X is better than the sensation in everyway and that the thrill is a lot like the G2X...
anyways, he got really mad that I wouldn't take $320 for the phone new. I told them that on ebay they are $410 buy it nows and he said 'no one cares about ebay, ebay's dead"
anyways..funny..very funny.
i know someone will buy it eventually. i'm only asking $370 for it brand new with the car charger case screen protector etc
I would have laughed in his face and told him I was going to post this on the internet for the WIN!
LOL funny story though
Do you have his number? i will sell him mine for $320

Why would you guys sell it while you're still in the 30 day return window? Definitely worth at least $400 at this point on Craigslist, but you can buy it for $450 new without a commitment so you shouldn't expect to get more than that.

but according to him, ebay, the biggest auction site in the world, is dead.
he's crazy, I actually got a few offers today and no one lowballed the way he did, I should have the thrill sold tomorrow
hate to see it go, but I can't justify having both the atrix and thrill. will come back later if the lg gb or ics upgrade is crazy good or if a really good rom is at least stable.

Craigslist is the new ebay
ebay is over run with retailers sellung products at a 10% mark up over what you could buy it for elsewhere , taking advantage of unsuspecting fools that do not know better....that and overseas sellers (which i buy from frequently)
you have me tempted to sell mine for real... .$300+ for a $50 investment is almost too good to pass up....and it sure would give me some extra cash for my vegas wedding come 11-11-11

Hello,
So I got the Dev. edition coming in the mail. This is the first non carrier branded phone I've ever had, and what to put insurance on it. With this being such a specific model, that doesn't seem widely available, I want to know which insurance company should I use?
I have found several:
https://esecuritel.com/
http://www.worthavegroup.com/
http://us.protectyourbubble.com/
http://www.protectcell.com/
http://www.squaretrade.com/
Does any one have any experience with any? How did you like them? Any Info will be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: ended up going with http://www.worthavegroup.com/ they seemed to have the best policy on replacement.
attached is the policy info.
Hi
Greetings,
I never know their where insurance for cell phones too
I did not have any experience but you can mostly go with the most famous one

Well yeah. I have added it to my phone though best buy or the carrier before, but that was when I bought the phone through them. I like to not have to worry if I break it. I broke my evo 3d 3 times, so I think I need it.
I don't know if famous == best?
Nobody has any experience with these companies?

How much did you pay for that developer edition? What is the cost of the insurance? My One is just a basic 32gb rooted and unlocked and with the rebate I paid about $100 for it. I thought the developer edition was about $600. I had my EVO for three years until the usb broke. Is that developer edition really worth it. I think S Off will eventually become available for the One - so with S Off on a basic One - what can the developer edition do that a basic one with S Off can't do? I always kinda thought the insurance was a rip off and I am an insurance agent.

After shipping and tax, $700. I wanted the 64 GB. I also wanted the feel of not being tied to a contract. The insurance is like $8-10 a month or ~$150 for a 2-year one payment. I the developer edition has more frequencies(I doubt I'll ever use them though, maybe if I ever take a trip abroad). I was looking more and more into insurance and am now starting to think maybe not. This is because they can replace your phone with something "similar".
BTW, I got my phone today and it is gorgeous. No flaws I can see.
Have to wait a while to activate though.
I used the Moonshine S-Off program and now my phone has S-Off.
yea i have S-OFF too. the only difference now between developer models and non developer models is the potential for 64gb storage. just as a tidbit i have the insurance through my carrier t-mob.
thanks man was wondering this same question i just got this phone too it is stupid awesome!!! btw what carrier did you use?? i went for straight talk unlimited for 45 a month

So does this mean we will be seeing an Infected or Synergy ROM for the HTC One? Because that would be really awesome... For Sprint of course
I have the usual Tmobile insurance which sucks. There should be more info on the insurance companies you're looking at but most of the time, DEV phones are bought at your own risk. Just a phone the carriers don't have.
Anyone in us go get best buy insurance 10$ a month no deductible to get a new one if yours breaks only thing it doesn't cover is if you lose it or stolen everything else cracked screen bricked doesnt boot take it to best buy and they trade you out for free as long as you e been paying your 10$ a month. I canceled my att insurance for this one cost 3$ more a month but I don't have to shell out 200$ each time I break it.
I never lose my phone or get it stolen as it's always on me I just break screens lol broke 2 one x + then att decided to let me upgrade to the one since I kept breaking it's weaker predeccesor

Well if I were you, I would get it from Square trade. I did some googling and from different droid/smartphone forums, people have had good things to say about them. But I did not search the other warranty companies so you should do that. (I mostly search the keywords "square trade worth it forum" and started reading).
Examples:
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-general-discussions/7968-who-have-squaretrade-warranty.html
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-general-discussions/7968-who-have-squaretrade-warranty.html
I might do the same myself.
If I were you, I would google Squaretrade coupons. They always send out 30% off codes and stuff for the warranties so you might find something.
The US carriers use the same insurance
All 4 of the big US carriers use the same company For Insurance>> Asurion. Asurion hides in the background and lets the carriers package thier product in the carriers own candy coating. I believe that Best Buy uses them as well ( I may be wrong on that one ) All of them will, at their own option , repalce or repair your brand new phone that you just spent $ 600, $700, $850 purchasing for a refurbished one. I mention Best Buy because they replaced my sons brand new (2 week old) 64 gig IPhone 4S with a refurbished one 3 times before he got one that the earpiece speaker actually worked. Had he known that they were going to replace it with a refurb, then he could have easily returned it to Apple for waranty.
Carefully read everything before buying Insurance. Check out the ones already listed in this thread. Some home owners insurance companies will let you purchase a ryder on your policy that could cover your phone. I am going to check into the latter when i Purchase a HTC One. Just as soon as it it is finally confirmed yes or no on The devs getting the Tmobile radio worked out for 1700/2100 faux G.

Hello,
I recently purchased a HTC One® Developer Edition. I was wondering how your claims are handled. If I get your cell phone coverage and damaged my HTC One® Developer Edition would it be replaced with the exact same model?* If the phone can be repaired, we will pay for the repair (minus the deductible) before replacing it.
*
If not, how are your claims handled?* If the phone has to be replaced, we send a check in the amount of the replacement cost minus the deductible.
*
Note: You are required to submit a copy of the sales receipt when a claim is filed, so please be sure to keep a copy of the receipt.
*
Furthermore, if I have the device replaced under a warranty issue, would the replacement device be covered?* Yes, you will need to call Customer Service to update the serial number so that the insurance is transferred to the new phone.
I await a response to these questions, before purchasing a policy.
Thank you for your time,
*
Shaun

Well if you want a check list of sorts, i would test Bluetooth / Wifi / Phone and Data
followed by both cameras in daylight and low light conditions. Test both speakers and the headphone and USB charging jack
then do an all day battery test. You can test nearly all these with the built in test menu on HTC phones
use the dialer to dial *#*#3424#*#*
Click accept / select all / run
If all those pass, with a little care you should have a good phone for quite some time

That's so funny man. I just saw the deal on slick deals and hopped on it as well. It'll be my second time owning a M7.
Coming from a 2013 Moto X which is a very nice device in its own respect, but damn I miss the M7.
I have a rule of thumb with smart phones and it is that I never go back to an old device. But I made an exception this time because I've never owned the blue one (had silver) and it was only $200!

I got my First One from AT&T on Release day along with the free media link promotion, paid $200 + 2 year contract and got a $100 rebate from HTC for upgrading (sent them an old iPhone 3gs). Sold my iPhone 4S and come out $100 ahead. A year later i got the Refurb from NewEgg for $250 and it was suppose to be Black, but it ended up being silver in near mint condition with the purple camera issue. My step son is using it and doesn't even use the camera. I'm Thrilled to add the Blue One to the collection. I'll s-off it and leave it in the box for a while (I use an M8 Now).

Hi! I bought an M7 from aliexpress for $160. Its refurbished but the condition is almost new. The hardware is also pretty good. its a verizon unlocked LTE version. The only drawback that I find in this is that i am unable to update it to lollipop or sense 6 even when there is an official updatd available for the phone.
Also, the phone came with superuser su installed but the phone does not pass the root checker.
For $160 M7 is a good deal, atleast here in India.

Is it worth getting a refurbished one with this issues? I plan to get one for my mom but not sure if I can handle these issues remotely.
I've been looking for new ones on Amazon but looks like those marketplace sellers are selling used/refurbished M7 as brand new. Just received a "new" one with the outlines of a case left on the front speaker...
Any info on good source for new old stock would be much appreciated

Can you confirm which seller you bought from or post a link? Was the condition of the handset itself good? I'm tempted by one of these as they appear to be going for £100-150 which is pretty decent considering you get the great HTC build quality and lollipop. I've had the M8 and it was a great phone, ending up selling to raise some cash, then buying an N5, swapped that for a Oneplus one. The OPO is great but I miss the M7/8 build quality and could probably sell it buy an M7 and have some money left over. Also miss the sound quality especially when listening to headphones on the HTC, the OPO is pretty decent but the M8 blew me away. Also keeping an eye out for the HTC One M8S, its basically the M8 with a 64bit processor, 13MP camera (duo) and a slightly bigger battery.
