I was going to wait until this puppy was fully rooted and custom Rom'd on verizon.
But Bestbuy is giving you $200 on a trade. Any smartphone. I have a Droid 1 sitting in my bin....they said that will work. Why wait when they're giving away money?
Not me sir.....not....me.
well ty for the info im gonna buy a S4 pretty soon.. and this is awsome

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.
I bought mine for $330 and using with H20 wireless from craigslist

according to him, yes.
mind you I don't sell on ebay, always get burned
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.

I wouldnt say ebay os dead... But it isnt what it was 10 years ago.
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

I purchased the Bionic from Verizon on Sunday. I'm a new phone customer to them. I do own the Xoom, but that doesn't qualify for family plan.
I got the Bionic, new number, and the understanding I would port my old number over if I decided I liked the phone enough to keep it. I understood the $35 restocked fee.
On MOnday I go in to verizon, the Lapdock is on sale. I said, I'll grab that too. Rep told me no can do. That price is limited to new customers. I told him, I'm not over 24hrs yet. To get the dock, at that price, I would have to retrun the phone, pay the fee, repurchase the phone and meet the conditions for the sale price.
Hmmm...
Well....2 days later, Amazon has the Bionic for a penny. I'm like...crap. So, with my hat in my hands, I returned the Bionic and ordered it from Amazon. With the Money saved I can buy the dock....eventually.
I have never done this before....feels like I'm cheating someone or something....but, its within the proper terms.
Going to take a shower now...wash the stink off...maybe I'll take a $200 shower.
why would you feel bad for ****ing them around after they had just tried to **** you around?

What they try to do to me is irrelevant ...its how I.feel about what I do.
But I just read that the reps get paid regardless of a return by me. So I don't feel so bad.
Is it worth $150 ? if its working good and i meet up at a verizon store to buy it to ensure a clean esn.
I am tired of my droid incredible and have an upgrade on my account and am waiting for the new uber phones to hit in the next few months.
I guess i could sell the bionic in a few months for close to what i paid for it.
hmmmm
any ideas ? or is the bionic not worth wasting my time on in the meantime.
150$ is a good price. Especially if its in good condition. It Basicly has same hardware as Razr and Droid 4. I had an incredible and I can tell u this phone is much better. Only problem is locked bootloader so development is slow. But for stock is still runs good. I just run it stock rooted with LP and TiB to freeze bloat. Bionic will certainly hold u off until u wanna upgrade. (I also got an upgrade comin up this year)
It is so worth it at that price... It's not that bad of a phone. It could be better but no phone can compete with the Bionic at that price.

I would buy it. I got mine off Craigslist for $200 a while back.
I have the HTC TBolt and I find myself using the Bionic more. I have it rooted but using the stock ROM. Love it
Hello, I was offered a mint condition Galaxy Note for USD 350. Do you think this phone would last a couple years more or should I buy a newer phone?
Thanks in advance.
Thats not such a bad price, The Note is a great phone and will definitely last a good few years, Ive had mine 6+ months and ill be keeping it til the release of the Note 3.
However, If you do pay $350 for it, How much would you be paying per month for your talk time / web usage ? Wouldnt you be more suited to a contract ? if so, you could get the Note 2 for a good price especially with all the xmas deals around.
Plus you wouldnt have to part with all of your $350 either ! you could spend it on sex drugs and rock n roll !

Hahaha, thanks for the answer, I live in south america so no contracts for me. I was wondering if official updates will be available for this phone until 2014 or if the Rom development will be in good shape for the next year, in that case, I would consider buying it.
I just bought one for $300 , I would say its well worth it, I dropped kicked att (they suck) for Straight Talk and it works flawless , the screen is great ,the phone is remarkable ,I love it!
custom roms will still be going in 1-2 years easily, They still make custom roms for my old SGS which is about 3 yrs old now.
however, you wont see official updates because they only support handsets for 18months after release, so i think JB will be our final release, we will see KLP custom roms tho :good:
Just an fyi for anyone that is interested in getting a new device for the sake of utilizing samsung pay or if you tripped knox and want to start fresh.
T-Mo is running this deal this weekend http://explore.t-mobile.com/samsung-phone-and-free-tablet-offer?clickid=Uwy1evSAmXFvxcUUakTDkXETUkXW-Rw3x0FAWE0&iradid=187812&cmpid=WTR_AF_187812&irpid=159229&irgwc=1#faq
I had two s5's. I immediately jumped all over this deal. I now can sell my old S5 and pocket the money. Used one S5 and got an S6. VERY happy with the S6. Did not get the tablet (don't need one, and I'm def not going to pay 10 bucks a month in data for a device I don't need). Salesperson seemed dissapointed I wasn't getting the free tablet. He tried 3 times to get me to change my mind. Also tried to sell me a 100 dollars case, I laughed at him. He then tried to sell me a 40 dollar case which I simply didn't like. I got the bodyglove for 14 dollars (which I actually preferred).
By the way : to qualify for this deal you need to have your s5 totally paid off. In my case I still owed some money so I forked it over and paid it and got the upgrade. My bill will be cheaper now every month.
Very happy with this deal.
I have an S4 knocking around and trading it in for a $15/mo S6 actually doesn't sound bad, but what if I wanted the 64GB? Is there an option to upgrade?
