Hey guys!! I just joined recently!
Anyway, my question is the following:
I want to buy mytouch 4g, but I live in Canada. I found an online store called negri electronics! Now I haven't made purchases online beside ebay. They have this phone avaliable and I'd order it, but problem is i am uncertain.
Has anyone else bought a phone from them before? Is it really brand new and never used before (zero air time minutes). They have this phone unlocked at $535.50 and states it is brand new.
Is there any other online place I can order this phone from and get a better deal?!
I'd travel to states bufflo, but the t-mobile store is sold out completely!
Thanks guys!

I would say wait for it to be in stock at T-mobile. Retail on this phone is $450 and you will have a better chance of warranty in case anything happens. Unlock codes are super cheap nowadays, you can buy one for $5 if T-mobile won't give you one but I think they're have to unlock it for you if you buy it outright and as for it. You can also ask the store to hold one and call you as soon as they get it.
Other option would be to find someone on Craigslist close by and pick it up for $400 or less.
If you're really determined to pick one up from that store... just google it and see what people are saying about them. I've never heard of them, Wirefly OTH has MT4G for $539 (not including shipping or unlocking though) but they're trusted retailer.
And finally, if you're willing to pay that much money for a phone, why don't you just find Desire HD? Nicer phone IMHO (same hardware but bigger screen, better appearance and better camera.)
Good luck.
Oh, htc desire HD is better? I am not sure lol. I liked this one cause in canada we have Windmobile, their phones are pretty much crap for aws band .
Thanks for your insightful comment! I really appreciate it! and I will take a look into Wirefly OTH as well!
I have to pay $500+ anyway even for t-mobile store because the amount of gas that goes in, ends up around that price. I don't really wanna travel to the states because it comes down to same price, just with a lot of headache and driving and all lol.
thanks though!

OTH was my abbreviation for "On The other Hand"... perhaps not the best one lol It's just WIREFLY.COM . I used them few times, they are not bad at all and really cheap with contract. They are still more without one. Do you have any relatives in states? That could be your golden egg right there
Nooo, I don't know anyone in the states.
So, I don't really have a choice now. I just wanna make sure that negri electronics is a reliable place to buy such an expensive phone! I hope it is brand new and really the genine product! thats my main concern, I don't really mind paying that price, but I don't really have a choice now do i? lol
thanks!

About Desire HD, I don't think you can find one online for less than 650+. I've been looking for days and it's only available on ebay for around 700+ or on some UK websites that don't look that good like expansys.com and handtec.co.uk
for around 650.
;-)
I can get u one brand new unlocked for 500 and u pay shipping, let me know asap by PM ;-)

Can someone run to their AT&T and get me an AT&T Fuze then put it on ebay to sell it to me? I know that a lot of you guys can get much better price than me. I'm from Montreal and I'll pay for the auction fee and the shipping.
Make me a good offer guy...
some guy from this forum offer me $450, but I haven't heard from him back yet.
????
??????WTF???????
It's not very easy to find people who are interested in making as least money as possible, but perhaps this is worth a shot
Don't know about the Fuze, but I have connections to folks who want to sell the Brooklyn Bridge

WHy don't you take an hour driver over the border...go to a local ATT store and purchase the phone outright???? It will cost approximately $550 after taxes....

There is no AT&T store near Montreal... the closest one is about 4hr drive. I'll be driving 4hr there, and then another 4hr back...
For the gas, and for time I'm spending on top of a $550, it's really not worth it. Also, I'm not even sure that they have in stock or they are willing to sell it to me.
Anyway, I got a deal in Canada... $660 CAD
which is not bad, considering it's saving me all those troubles.

On the internet, you have to get a plan with it
craigslist.org
Come on man.. majority of the online sites that sell the fuze will let you buy the phone without a contract/plan.. look around. try letstalk.com
Price reflects full purchase price through ATT without contract which is how I paid for it. Not trying to make money on this.
Used one day. Comes with original receipt for Warranty. Will ship standard UPS or Fedex included in price. Not to exceed $25.00
$525.00 US will do PayPal
Beachboyde
Also for sale, ATT Tilt with 7 months on Warranty. Will send original receipt. includes, desktop craddle/extra battery charger, extra battery 2600, case, and all original items, box, cables, cd, etc. $300.00 includes standard delivery not to exceed $25.00
Why is your price so high? I just paid $300 usd for new Fuze, no committment or contract additions....
525 seems real high, as new they are not even that much retail
Where did you get a Fuze for $300 USD with not commitment? I've been looking everywhere.

hey jon..didnt you just sell it? or is this one you just bought to resell..and why selling your tilt? the most ive seen a fuze go for new on ebay is 450..thats what i plan to sell it for when i get the 2 fuzes on black friday ill most likely get 400 so if anyone wants to buy a fuze or 2 on or after friday PM me and we can work out a deal
Why are you guys thread-crapping his thread like that? Talking about his price and trying to suggest people to buy from YOU in HIS thread. If you dont like the price, don't buy or PM him and suggest he lower it but no need to do that in his thread...
dang chill dude! ive talked with him before..i almost bought his last fuze of of him so i have a right to say what i did and it was sort of a joke about me wanting people to buy off of me..i only sell on craigslist or ebay
Note to potential buyers: Don't buy the Fuze from this guy. You can get a new Fuze with a 30-day guarantee from AT&T for $499.
This is a ripoff.
yah PLUS TAX which comes out to around 530-540 and you still get the 30 day buyers remorse since hes giving thed reciept so this is a deal

Yes the one I sold was my original and I got a offer and a no haggle for shipping and great price. Very nice man.
I did sell one, and no not buying to sell. I have several phones and a extra Tilt so thats why I'm selling them. As I said, not trying to make money. But their are people that want the Fuze or Tilt that don't use ATT and might be something their interested in. I'd always post here first due to the Quality and neverending information that is provided to us.

Good Lord people, give me a brake, This is not a rip-off. As you said, can get for $499.00 with a 30 day take back. Can do this with my Fuze as I'm providing the original reciept.
dude, dont listen to these idiots (ie, perdurabo2). I sold my first fuze within hours of posting on craigslist for $500 cash.. Not anybody can walk into an at&t store and buy one outright; you still have to have a contract with at&t. Also, honestly, your biggest market is going to be those poor schmucks to our north (canadians). They cant buy the unbranded version (no 3g), and none of their gsm carriers have released it. I've been hearing that stores up there are selling fuze's for $600! anyways, post on howardforums; lots of canadians there. just make sure its unlocked. good luck..
and again to idiots like perdurabo2, STFU, mind ur own business. you dont want to buy, thats fine, ur opinion is not needed/wanted
hey jon, dont mean to get personal but whyd you buy THIS fuze? i read your post saying that you wanted to go back to your tilt and thats why u sold your first fuze..

Hey, Brought it for someone that decided he wanted the iPhone instead, so as I brought it outright, I figured I'd see if anyone wanted it. I still have a Fuze, Tilt, & iPhone, well 2 Fuzes, 2 Tilts, and 1 iPhone. LOL I'm just nuts. hehehehehehhehe. I love gadgets, but The Fuze I'm going to trick out and see what happens. Something for me to have fun with. Guess after I sold the 1st Fuze, I saw all the excietment on here and decided to get another to have fun with it. I actually do use 2 phones and take them both with me. One business one fun.

You can go f**k yourself. When someone posts something to a public forum, it no longer is just their business. He's asking a crazy price and I want to make sure people don't get suckered into it. If you don't want feedback, don't post in a public forum.
Thank you, please drive through.
Ok, right to the point, I need some money, real fast. I had an idea and need to know if it will work. Could I sell my inspire for about $300, keep my sim card, buy a cheap phone, like, an iphone2G, pop in the sim, and use it just like nothing happend, would that work? or would I have to do someting in order for it to work. My bill is due on thursday and im not gonna be able to pay it. It must be payed by then or they will shut off my service. I love this phone, but I need the money, not just to pay my bill, but other reasons as well. What do you guys think? I can always go back and buy a better phone later on, not worried about that now.
Opinions needed.
I think you'll have a hard time gettin $300 out of it when they can be had for so much cheaper now, new.

alright, what do you think is a reasonable price?
That's really dependent on its condition and how good a salesman you are or how bad the potential buyer wants the phone..
Best Buy has it for $0.... So good luck
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
A quick check on eBay shows many used Inspire auctions in progress with bids in the $250 - $300 range. You can't compare a free phone at Best Buy to this, because that free phone comes with a $1500 contract. People will pay much higher than the carrier subsidized price to get a contract-free phone.

thats kinda what I was gonna say... I dont see whats wrong with $300 or maybe $250, its in MINT condition, its been in a otterbox defender the whole time, so absolutely nothing wrong with it. If i had to Id throw in the 16GB class 10 SD as well.
Edit: BTW Its about a month and a half old
My real question was, if i sell it, will who ever buys it be able to use it with their own SIM Card, since i still have service and am under contract, would i be able to keep my sim and use another phone?

I bought ans Aria, then about a year later, bought an Inspire using an upgrade option on another account, but I don't have any problems using the Aria SIM in my Inspire, nor any other combinations of phones and SIMs on the other accounts in my plan (I have 4 total accounts in my plan). Also, I loaned my wife's Aria to a friend that had some AT&T non-smart phone and he plugged his SIM into it and it worked fine. His wife has a data plan with her iPhone on the same account and it worked fine without even upgrading to another data plan.
In short, the SIM is the account and the phone doesn't matter. You shouldn't have any problems.
For a good comparison for asking price check craigslist.org. See what they are going for on there. You could also post an ad to sell it there.
Yeah y would u compare contract price with no commitment price.
U can easly get in between 250 to 325 depending on the condition and accecories you have.

Don't forget the local market affects price too. The more people selling them the lower the price. Supply and demand.

yeah, theres a slew of em goin for $275-$300, its gonna be tough, but my sd card is worth $50 bucks alone. hoping thats the deal breaker. and the otter box defender case.
Exactly, 300 is a fair price and what is to be expected for a fairly used contract free Inspire. A new one can go as high as 425 off contact.

Reminds me of a joke from "Larry The Cable-Guy" about crashing your truck to get the insurance money to make the truck payment....
One thing you'll need to do is call AT&T to change your data plan to an iPhone data plan. Nothing will change with the rate, but they have two types of plans. One is a smartphone plan that our Inspires use. The other is an iPhone plan with the same data/cost, but they need to know or you won't be able to do anything on it. Other than that, yes, you should be able to do this no problem.

Definitely, if you look on eBay there differences of hundreds of dollars between locked and unlocked phones.
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.

Heres a little back story... my phone was stolen, I am with tmobile, I went into the store to replace the phone. Turned out since I had transferred from my contract to prepaid I still owed money on my contract so I wasnt covered with insurance, and they couldnt activate a new phone for me.
I called tmobile in the morning who helped straighten out my balance, but I didnt want to pay for a phone through air mail because I need the phone ASAP immediately. I had an HTC Amaze.
I went into the store where they told me they could still NOT activate me a phone, but they could add my new phone to my previous stolen phones pre paid plan. (its alot more complicated than this, but for the point of this threads sake...)
So basically if I bring in a phone they can activate my old plan and keep my old number. So I found this site http://www.everbuying.com/Wholesale-Cell-Phones-b-22.html but I do not know which phone is which because they are different names than the name brand phones.
I really really want the Galaxy S II from Samsung...or Nexus from Verizon... but which phone is close here? Which is worse? How can I find details of the best phone so I can get this situation straightened out, and get all of this horribke experience behind me?

These three are similar to the GSII Specs Hereut they all lack something. For one they are all 3G speeds. They wont let me buy the GSII at the store without paying full price so I am trying to find something close if not exact that is closer to my price range. They want $600 for the GSII at most I have like $400 and that is double what I prefer to pay...making payments is not a problem.
Here is something similar to the HTC Amaze but it has Android 4.0 on it. I was considering it but I really dont want the Amaze again...thats the one I just had that was stolen.
