I got this Nexus One by trading my G1 and $125.
Am currently on T-Mobile - contract up in March 2010
Ive been getting quite a few offers for my Nexus.
- Two people on craigslist are asking 300-350.
My phone is literally 10/10 condition and comes w/
everything , casemate case.
You think I should sell it for 300-350 now?
Should I wait till March 2010 when my contract is up? or do you guys think it will drop in resale value way more by then.
also do you think 300-350 is fair if cash is given

Do you need the money? Do you really want to sell it?
Only way I would sell my Nexus One is if I needed the money and I had another Nexus One already to replace it.
If you like the phone and don't need the money then why sell it?
Not a lot of better devices right now. Would hold on till contract ends or if something u like shows up. But it really depends on u'r needs: money, etc...
Practically all new androids are better than it. Choose wisely.

I am in a similar position, been offerend 350CDN for my Nexus but there really aren't any other phones out there that offer anything substantial over it to sell it... I like the Galaxy S, but until it is officially on Froyo it seems to buggy and really only has the bigger screen as the biggest reason to upgrade. I'm holding off until there is a substantial reason to upgrade.

Please enlighten us of these "new androids"
I dunno guys, I love my Nexus too but I'd sell it if I could use an EVO or a Droid X on GSM I think. The screen pisses me off to end on the N1 the lack of accuracy, the effed up multitouch and the horrible performance of the screen in sunlight drive me crazy. This is an amazing phone but HTC had to go and screw up the whole package by choosing a ****ty screen. Coming from an iPhone 3GS I can tell you that this screen is by no means at par
Better than N1

Gladly! New androids as in practically every android made after the Nexus One.
Verizon - Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Incredible, HTC Merge, Droid R2D2, & Samsung Fascinate
Sprint - Evo 4g
Tmobile - HD2, Samsung Vibrant (if you can stand touchwiz) & G2
And these are the phones that I can think of off the top of my head. If you want to check out the European phones: Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD.
So to reiterate, yes the Nexus One was a good phone, very nostalgic, set the tone for the new devices that came out. But with that being said, the new devices that came out are better than the Nexus One. So read up, pick one you like, and either sell the N1 or hold onto it for sentimental value.

i don't really understand caring about wether or not you're on a contract. put the SIM in and use whatever phone. surely you're not considering LOCKING YOURSELF into another 2 or 3 year commitment for the sake of a $4-500 phone ?
as far as all those being better, the hardware specs are very similar. the carriers... oh man, CONTRACTS ! no thank you. i'll stick with the tmo pay-to-play non contract.

The no contract route is pretty cool. If there was a possibility of me leaving Tmobile, I'd go contract free. Since I know I'm not going anywhere, I apted to sign the contract.

Yea. Before I paid Google 500+ I did my research about my nexus, and the math. Figured up over 2000+ dollars saved over two years using voip and Google voice, so I bought my nexus flat out and have been smiling since. Benchmark test wise I'm still over the Droid X and along with evolution I don't like the size. The g2 has 800 MHz =( and I don't use QWERTY or HDMI out. So a year after the purchase I would make it again today =)
N1 running psfreedom recovery and MIUI! sent via XDA app =D
All those phones mentioned have identical processors. Nothing running 1.3-1.5 ghz out yet. From what the news was saying is that towards the end of this year and begging of next we will have faster processors on smart phones.
I'd say hold off on selling your nexus or if you do, you aren't really getting anything better spec wise, maybe design is what you are looking for.

Keep the Nexus !
If you are wanting to stay with a certain carrier, your Android choices can tend to become very limited. I've been with Tmobile for years, happy, not moving.
My phone choices.... I dont really see any phones offered yet as being worth
signing another two year contract for.
I mean nothing fantastically better that my Nexus.
Heres what I mean, two years ago I was on the original G1 prebuy.
The Nexus is very drastically better than the G1.
I just dont see the TMO phone thats drastically better than the N1.
And if you have a Nexus then you have TMO or AT&T and AT&T's Android phone selection is worse than TMO's.
I'm holding pat especially since the N1 gets the updates months before any other phone does.
MyTouch was supposed to get Froyo "soon", and months have gone by, still no update.
Its almost like TMO would rather just keep everyones attention on its once a month new phone release than update the older phones.
When I do get a new phone I will keep the N1 till I'm sure the new one is better.
I've yet to see that phone though.
^ very true.
What also worries me is that none of the announced phones that are due to be released in this Q of the year are a whole lot better than Nexus One.
But as someone else said, I love my N1 except for the screen. The screen pisses me off so much!!
The G2 and the new mytouch are good replacements for the N1 in my opinion. Granted I'm not too impressed with the new mytouch overall design, nevertheless, the specs are nice and the FFC is a plus.

I'm curious - if you had no working handset at the moment, had to pay full price for a handset, and didn't want to buy who potentially might be someone else's trash off Ebay or Craigslist, would you pay $265 for a BRAND NEW Nexus One ?
I had one when they first came out, and then moved up to newer and "better" handsets, either brand new or used....
My latest, the G2, which was bought off Craigslist, fried after 2 weeks of having it. I've already talked to HTC, but then say I'm looking at being without a phone for 2-3 weeks before a replacement will arrive.
So, knowing everything that is out right now, and everything that is coming, would you pay $265 for a brand new Nexus One , or shell out $500+ for a "current" or soon to be released handset?
Nexus......other than the evolution 3d or sgs2 or even maybe iPhone 5.
Edit: actually....I will by the nexus. It get quick updates plus is very hackable. Also I will be saving.up for the nexus 3!

N1 anyday ...
Nexus One everyday at that price!
Just bought my wife a G2 to replace her (submerged) MT4G.
I would've preferred to get her a Nexus (still like the N1 better than both of those). The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want her to have the same phone as me - that's one of the advantages of not having a phone from the fruit company...
Without hesitation! I can't see what any new device has to offer that i don't have already.
Biggest benefit I can see of the newer devices is FFC , more RAM, and Dual-Core CPUs...
I've been thinking about it though - other than a larger screen, the N1 did everything I wanted it to do. Only complaint I had was when I held the phone to my face with my right shoulder, because the 2nd mic on the back was covered by my shoulder, everyone I talked to said I sounded really muffled.
its a pretty hard deal to pass up getting a new nexus one at 250 dollars. you cant go wrong if you do get it. newer phones like the galaxy s2 have better gaming. but really i'd get the n1 again today if i had to.
There is one guy that called me an idiot because I was thinking in going to Sprint
In all honesty, I do believe the 4G Network from Verizon is amazing, and Samsung Galaxy S II is NOT 4G (let's say 3.5G or whatever)
Bottom line it won't reach 14000 kbps/s like the 4G LTE Devices of Verizon
So Samsung Galaxy vs HTC Thunderbolt, yeah it might be a better device but on the other hand the speed of the network is not as fast
So I don't see a clear winner, I will give a slight advantage to Samsung Galaxy S II on sprint.
I have to pay around $50 per month to stay in Verizon (since my family all have Verizon), so that was another good thing about them, it's a little more economical for me
But anyway, some guy told me that the HTC VIGOR will be an awesome device from Verizon, so what I did was
1) Buy cash $260 HTC Thunderbolt (new device, or as good as new)
2) I have my credit in Verizon still (I can use it when HTC Vigor arrives)
I would like to thank the person that recommended me the HTC Vigor, I was really disapointed with Bionic
For the people that said that I work for another carrier, haha, I'm just a user, and I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the BIONIC
Thanks guys, thanks especially to the guy that recommended the Vigor, I am 99% sure it will be a great device
Good luck...bye bye
Quit trolling you already posted a thread about this. Just return the damn thing already.
Good riddance, one dbag troll bites the dust with YET ANOTHER "gibs muh attenshunz" post. Don't let the door hit you. I take that back. Refrigerator.

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)

htc phones are so complicated. it is very much subject to be bricked.

That is pretty cheap for EVO 3D
Enjoy your Evo 3D
Been a while since I last owned a Samsung phone - Galaxy S3 haha
Coming from a One Plus One, originally I was going to get the One Plus Two, got tired of the waiting game with the invite system, then was going to get the new Moto X Pure.
I sold my One Plus One on Swappa this morning, then out of curiosity I just checked S6 prices... and only had to add $200 (sold One Plus earlier) to get the white 32GB. I couldn't pass that up! The 32GB Moto X Pure was $449 + tax + shipping... so it was a no brainer to buy the S6 ($410).
Needless to say I am happy and can't wait to receive my device. One thing I do know is that the battery life is horrible.. but rooting it and flashing a custom rom/kernel should solve that, I Hope. Any Suggestions?
Get a Mophie battery case my friend!!!
Lol funny you mentioned that.
My girlfriend just got the iPhone 6 today and got one of those for $99 (salesman did a good job lol) and she said she hates it.
She said it makes the iPhone bulkier and longer.
I've never been a fan of big cases, prefer the sleeker look.
