[Q] If I can get this off-contract for 200, should I?

I've never had an Android phone, but something tells me the Captivate won't be the phone to have for 2 years.
But is it worth getting for 200 dollars? To mess around with and experiment with? I mean I'd use it as my main phone and all, but it's gotten such bad press, I'm not sure what to think of it. Not to mention the guy I am buying it from is switching to Sprint or Verizon because of a lack of HTC Android Phones on ATT.
So, should I go for it? It is a brand new Galaxy S, or a refurbished one... I don't know actually. It is in a box that was sent to him to replace his bricked Galaxy S from when he canceled an update.
And, is the GPS really that bad? Considering my Touch Pro's GPS is horrible, I don't expect much!

Off contract? Yes.
If I could switch to Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile, I'd be goner than gone.

Go for it. It's a good deal.

Any chance you will share where you can get this phone for $200 off contract. I paid that for min on contract. I would love to get one for my wife but she has another year before she is eligible for an upgrade.

If you go to at&t's site, login and try to buy this phone without a contract they will charge you over $400.

hehe. i'm just gonna pay the breach of contract and switch to sprint for the evo or the epic. not sure wich, but i'm tossing mine up on craigs list. oh, and overstock.com is advertising them for .01 with new contract...

Paid $120 for mine after I called AT&T and told them that my crenelation is less than $100 or they can sell me the new phone for $120. The never thought twice and overnighted the phone to me for the $120.

I paid 230 for mine the first week it came out. I eventually went to best buy and got 80 bucks from them when they put it on sale

I paid $200 for mine. Totally worth it.

Coming from an x10 user, this phone is really good. Of course there is better, there always is hurting the price that you're getting is really good too.

I would give a resounding "heck yeah". Get it. If you don't like it, you will most likely be able to sell for a profit.

[Q] have a ? guys

i have an htc aria but a friend of mine has the inspire and i really like it im in between jobs at the moment and was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an inspire for cheap any help would be greatly appriceated

depending on where you are in your contract with AT&T, you might be able to get one for as low as $59, depending on the reseller and if they are willing to use part of their commission to give you a discount for a two-year renewal. If it is too early for you to qualify for a discount on the upgrade, try Amazon, eBay or Craigslist.

no contract is 399, which is incredibly cheap for a phone full price. i'm tempted to buy this every day because of its 399 price tag. other devices are 550-600 for the same quality phone.
your other choice is craigslist or ebay. great deals exist.

[Q] Low priced Sensation 4G?

Anyone have any idea where can buy an HTC Sensation 4G for $250? Not rioted, not unlocked, just stock and refurbished (as if I could get an unsubsidized one for so low) ? I'm getting into porting random ROMs to the myTouch 4G, but I need a secondary Android phone for when the MT4G blows up on me.

you will never find it for $250. Even a used mint one on craigslist is a bit below $400. Unless you can find a really stupid seller

Trust me, there's a lot of stupid sellers out there.

How far from your upgrade date are you? I just upgraded for $199+tax, no upgrade fee, no rebate necessary and free shipping. My full upgrade wasn't for another 6 months. The price that I was offered on t-mobile.com was $329-$50 rebate + tax and upgrade fee. Total upfront cost would have been about $375. I called retentions and they hooked me up. Total upfront cost ended up being $235. I'm still going to send off for the rebate and I'll probably get it too.

Actually, I bought my phone off contract.

If you're looking to get it off contact, to get one for the price you're looking to pay you'll probably have to wait for a while for resale prices to come down or accept one with some damage.

The only thing I can think of is get one for $350, then flip it for $450, then get another for $350 and there you go.

Lol that means you would have to find two sellers that would sell their sensations for 350 AND then sell your sensation for 450. Thatspretty hard

Original full price for NS4G?

What was the original price for the NS4G when it was first released? Trying to figure out how much I'll get back for it when I sell it to Best Buy

599 or 699. I know after 6 months u get like 350 back
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I bought my 4G from BestBuy on release day flat out for $699.99.

Why didn't you have them price match the Sprint retail price? Which is considerably lower. Just saying if you are paying "retail" then you have a case more than disputing a contract price.

$199 with contract.

I'm not disputing anything, don't they give you whatever percentage of the retail value back to you with their buy-back program?

Yes. Its 50% within the first 6 months. Here is a link.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/Buy-Back-Program/pcmcat230000050010.c?id=pcmcat230000050010
I wasn't saying anyone was disputing anything. What I meant was, if you were buying it retail you should have told them that Sprint sells it for $549.00. Would have saved you $150.00 on the release day.
Edit: Also in terms and conditions it says that the buyback program does not start til 30 days after the purchase. So in all actuallity you have til the 7th month of purchase to sell it back.

You folks must all be the daddy warbucks type. I got my NS4G brand new off craigslist for $170 in box, a month ago. Pays to arrive late at the party and pay way less.

They're giving em away for free a BB right now where i live

I traded my Evo for mine. Definitely satisfied with my end of the trade.

Depebding in where you live. In my area you cant find one even for 400$ on craiglist

Most folks on contract don't pay that little for a $600 phone. Good luck dude.

Wow, I sold my sensation on ebay "buy it now" for $240 to offset the cost of the One S. I don't think it's going to happen, but I think you might see some prices drop from where they are now currently as soon as T mobile releases the galaxy s3. Good Luck!

I'll consider selling mine if your interested,
Ive not long on my contract so if i can get my ETF down to cheap, you can have it for the price i need to pay it
