I live in Minnesota, US. I want to buy a XDA EXEC UNLOCKED BRAND NEW. Where can I buy one at? I checked ebay but I dont think they are brand new?
Any ideas where I can get one online?

Best place to buy XDA orbit 2 (HTC cruise)

hey
im really interested in the new orbit 2 (sim free ideally), only im having a problem finding a good place to buy it.
Ebay prices are about £250 used and £300ish new.
Only other place i can find it is on contract, which i dont want.
so anyone know any good places to buy, or any buying tips ?

[Poll]How do you prefer to buy your phone?

So I have been wondering for a while how we here on XDA like to buy our phones.
I hope to catch most everyone with the following categories. And please leave a comment on why you buy the way you do.
Please help me figure this out!

I always have to buy them outside from my country because immediate availability and better price

I trade my Phones on XDA, good deals lol

Sell my old phone on eBay and buy the new one I want at full retail.

I shop around for the best place to cash in my subsidization upgrade. Got my Focus for -$22 on contract!

online
I will look for online stores that can provide me handsets at discounted rates with complete reliability.

got my used T-Mob HD2 on ebay.. not available in my country, so the only possibility is to buy it from there..

I like buying my phones online since I get a better selection to choose from and no dealing with pushy salespersons....

I normally buy phones from Craigslist since people in my area don't really seem to know the worth of phones. I got my MyTouch4g the week after it was released for 300. Then I sell the older phones on eBay.

I prefer eBay or something like that. Contracts try to hold you down.lol

I shop for mine online. Best deals hands down.

Prefer prepaid full retail, or second hand.
I won my current phone though Huawei IDEOS for free

Almost always off contract, but I try to buy used or refurbished.

I will buy it on Contract. I can get any phone of my choice at cheaper price and it doesnt matter that after contract gets end I will have to gave my phone back.

Most of the time I pay the upgraded price of the phone. Ie. Whatever it cost with a 2 year extension.

[Q] Coming over from Sprint Epic 4G

Bottom line is I'll be joing the T-mo family, and I'm coming over because of cost.
I'm going to be picking up a Used/New Sidekick 4G off of craigslist. I'm looking at spending between 150-200. I need the Keyboard and the Touchslide is out of my cost range. I'm going on the family value plan for 99.89 for two lines. Any suggestions on this phone or anyother with a keyboard. What pitfalls could i get into with buying one off craigslist, can these phones be blacklisted like sprint(I.E. bad ESN), I know they take sim cards. Any other tips
Thx

With Tmobile, I'm pretty sure that popping in your sim card before you buy will tell you whether the esn is clean. I have always used keyboard phones, and for my taste, i'd say the other option besides the SK would be the G2... I think the SK4G has a better keyboard, but I prefer the G2 in just about every other way, the main one being the awesome development by XDA members and Cyanogen etc. that has and is being done for the device. That phone has been out for almost a year, but I am tempted to buy a new one and keep using that sucker. Lol. But I like the SK too, I think it's a great little phone, and the guys here have done some really good stuff with it.
Good luck with your switch!

I just bought my daughter a brand new SK4G for $149.00 at the local T-Mobile store at the Mall. It was an upgrade for an AT&T "pursuit" she had running on T-Mobile. Just a "heads up" for you in case you wanted to check new from a dealer than "Craig's flea market".
My bad, I am on a "classic plan". If you are a heavy texter, no better keyboard IMHO.

Tmobile will price match so go online and you can probably find someone giving it away free with a new contract then just show them the website. That's what I did and I used amazon wireless to show them, walked out of the store with a free sidekick

They told me on the Value Plan I have to pay retail for the phone, and I don't even qualify for the rebates, however different rep's have told me different things on the rebates.

If you need custom roms
check that mobile processor is friendly to root or not before buying.
