Hi everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read through this post.
I have a MyTouch 3G 1.2, and im looking to upgrade to a different phone, not because I'm not satisfied with it, but because of the dearth of roms available for it. My upgrade has to be to a phone that can run on the tmobile carrier. Id rather not get a higher end model because the only things I have for trade is the phone, an old blackberry pearl, and an old itouch. I was eyeing the HD2, but I'm not sure if I can find someone willing to trade for the above items.
If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know.

HD2 is a fantastic option to have in mind
Dont do HD2!! If you like samsung wait for the vibrant 4G if you like HTC mytouch 4G! I have it and I love it
Curent : HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G)
Dead : Sidekick iD
Sidekick 2010
G1
iPhone 2G
Check your local Craigslist. I see "like new" HTC HD2s on Craigslist for $175-$200 quite often.
On eBay at least, your MyTouch 3G 1.2 is worth at least $100 and your iPod Touch at least $80. Not sure about the Blackberry, but from just what you have, I think you could easily make up most of the cost of an HD2 if you buy from Craigslist.
when i was in the club and tok bout my new HD2 out of my pocket the whole dance floor lit up the screen is so big and bright so i tarded to a vibrant and now just i got one probblem with it cant stop flashing new rom leaks lool
Thanks guys. I was considering the mytouch 4G, but there's nothing I can trade for such an expensive phone. I've been checking on craigslist, but it seems most people would rather get cash...

I would just sell some goods on eBay or something. Sell your iPod and borrow a little and then turn around and sell your current phone.
I'm fine with the htc desire with its high customization!!
Yeah, I think you'll have to do what Omen says and sell some stuff up front and maybe borrow some. Ebay usually gets top dollar, just use actual pics rather than stock photos.
CL definitely has the best deals, right now my local CL has an HD2 listed for $200 and even a few week old Samsung Captivate, also for $200.
HTC Desire is a really nice phone. I have the CDMA version and thought about getting a GSM version to replace my iPhone, but the GSM versions are really expensive, $400+. Probably because they were never subsidized by any US carrier.
Any way you go, I can tell you the 1GHz Snapdragon phones are a night and day difference over the MyTouch 3G in performance. I find the MyTouch 3G to feel sluggish, but the 1GHz phones are very responsive and fast. Once you try one, you can't go back.
Well, I don't really want to ship stuff to people, so I guess I'll have to troll Craigslist. Is the desire also snapdragon? I don't think there are that many people willing to trade away an unsubsidized phone. Forgot to mention, I also have an xbox 360. Could you guys give me a price approximation for each of the items I have? I can't really use a computer for the rest of the week. Thanks for all your help!

I don't know about you but I am waiting for a Tegra 2 phone as I am sure we it will get some awesome games for it. That thing is a BEAST. Unless it is down clocked :/
Yep, an HTC Desire has a 1GHz Snapdragon. It's pretty much a slightly updated Nexus One. The only differences I'm aware of is it has real buttons instead of the touch sensitive ones, and a virtual optical trackball instead of a real one. I doubt you will find one on CL because the GSM versions were ever subsidized here. The ones on eBay are either CDMA (US Cellular/Alltel) or GSM ones for sale by people in other countries that will ship to the US. Of course, Nexus One is a good one too, but also unsubsidized.
As for your stuff, if you want to sell on CL, I would just search your local CL to see what others are trying to sell it for. You can expect some people will want to bargain, so if you want top dollar, I would price it close to the higher prices you see, but accept offers better than the lowest prices you see. If you want to sell ASAP, then you'll probably have to price close to the lowest prices.
Tegra 2 will definitely be a beast, but I'm thinking to buy one without contract is going to be much more $$$ than an HD2 for quite awhile.
Although if you're sticking to TMO anyway, maybe it's worth renewing your contract to get a new phone at a subsidized price. I saw a thread on another site about subsidized pricing for existing TMO customers:

Galaxy S / S2 or Nexus S
Definitively !
I came from HTC to Samsung S and it is realy awsome !
My father works for tmobile, so I have the employee plan. I can't upgrade phones (at least I don't think I can). Ive seen a lot of N1s.on CL, but I wanted the HD2 because of it's high customobility. I mean, 3OSs on one phone? That's like getting windows, linux, and max osx for your desktop. If there are any other cheap snapdragon phones, let me know. And I'll get right on to posting on CL. Incidentally, are there any of you living in socal?

Was gonna recommend a Tmobile G2 but might be out of your price range.
I would get a HD2, seen them in the $200 range. I was gonna pick up one for a backup to my G2.
Decided that I might as well sell off some stuff I don't use anymore. I've posted everything on craigslist, and im waiting for offers. Hopefully ill get enough money to buy some of the newer phones.
Also, I was originally considering buying the G2, just for its 4G capability, but it has a slower processor than the HD2, and that's one of my priorities right now.
If you guys can think of any other phones that might fit the bill, let me know please. Thanks!

Your kidding right? Your reading too much into clock speed. The HD2 uses the first generation snapdragon and the G2 uses the second generation snapdragon processor. HD2 uses the Adreno 200 GPU the G2 uses the Adreno 205. You need to do more researching.
Ahaha. Did my research, and apparently the G2 can be overclocked to 1.9GHz. Any other phones that can beat like this?

I don't think anyone can truly answer this for you though, which is why the atrix vs inspire threads keep popping up. In the end you'll have to weigh the pros and cons of the features and networks and decide what's best for "you"

I love the Inspire but HTC with a dual core snap dragon running army 1.2ghz,sounded kinda interesting. But your right. Atrix was a huge fail,thanks for advice.

When I got my Inspire I knew that there would be more dual core options later in the year. But I've got another upgrade due in August I figured I would sell the Inspire at that time if there was a good alternative then. I bet there will be an At&t variant that will be out by the end of the 3rd quarter. I don't think the Sensation will be the steaming pile of fail that the Atrix is and it will have a 1520 mAh battery.
When I look at the spec's it's basically an Inspire with the DC SD, a better screen and they found the room for the bigger battery. Add Gingerbread and Sense 3.0 out of the box and it looks like a Dev's dream. By then they'll be cooking IC Sandwich roms.
I'm sure it all will be ported to inspire.

haha I just read the last replies and i think, it's so funny how most guys here from the states always worry about the network . I mean who cares what phone you can get with At&t and which one with verizon. You can get pretty much every single phone to work with every single carrier. Just buy a phone without simlock and buy the plan from whatever network you want.
Anyway, dont know why i just brought that up again, i guess cause im german and i never ever bought a phone directly from a carrier before

It doesn't work like that.
AT&T and T-Mobile phones are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint. The opposite is true.
Verizon phones are not compatible with Sprint. The opposite is also true.
Even within GSM (AT&T and T-Mobile), they use different frequencies. AT&T is 1900MHz, while T-Mobile is 1700MHz. It's exceptionally rare to find a 3G GSM phone that works on both carriers.
So, yes, it is important to consider the network in the US, because you probably won't be able to take that phone to any other carrier and still get 3G.
I'm currently at the end of my rope with my rooted Droid Eris... I've got Cyanogen 6 running on it, overclocked to 700mhz, but it's reeeeeeeally been getting on my nerves lately and I need a new phone.
None of VZW's choices really jump out at me, and I'm eligible to upgrade next Sunday. I was considering the Samsung Fascinate since it's A.) Free, B.) easy to root, and C.) not overkill for me. I don't need a 4g phone seeing as there's no 4g network in my area yet. I love Swype, I don't need a slide-out keyboard, so that cuts the Droid 3 BOGO offer out for me. Droid X2 looks okay, but there's no telling when Root will be available for that phone either. The Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt are insanely overpriced since they're $200 and $250 respectively, both have single cores, and barely more memory than the Fascinate, and the screens aren't as nice as the AMOLED. Only issue is VZW discontinued the Fascinate, not sure if I could get one off Amazon or not, but I doubt any Verizon store will have a new one, I don't want a refurb.
Anyone have any suggestions? My only requirements are < $200, no keyboard, rootable, and not an LG (everyone I know has had TERRIBLE luck with LG phones). I'd prefer a Samsung or HTC because Moto sucks at locking their phones down.
I have the incredible 2 and from what I hear the x2 handles dual core not well. I rooted my inc 2a soon as it came out and it came with froyo :/ there is the xtc clip method and soon htc might start unlocking bootloaders for it. It is single core but is mighty fast enough for me. I don't have 4G yet either so I didn't need it

Verizon sent me an update notification yesterday. I love my tbolt but am curious about things new. I'm not a fan of MOTO Blur so I'm not really into the Droid series unless someone convinces otherwise. It seems that's the only thing Verizon is promoting at the moment. Does HTC have a new monster release soon or do I need to settle? What is everyones opinion?
I didn't like the original Blur. Ninja, or whatever the launcher was called. New Blur is very sleak and pretty snappy, especially on a RAZR. My only issue with Motorola is the locked bootloader. Makes the developer scene kinda meh. I mean, HTC MIGHT be coming out with something big within the next couple months, but the Rezound is still holding pretty strong. Who knows, a new EVO is about to drop on Sprint, so maybe Verizon will get a taste of something.
According to phone arena HTC is supposed to be dropping a tb replacement in April. Obviously it's a rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me since they have talked about it since a month before the rezound dropped. I'm waiting till April to make my decision between the nexus and the new HTC phone that may or may not be coming. I have the TB and the bionic, and I HATE the bionic. As soon as the Ril is released and made compatible with twisted rom I may go back to the TB. Don't get anything moto, just my 0.02 oh, and I have more problems with lag and data on the bionic than I had with the TB.
They talked about it a month before the Rezound drop because it WAS the Rezound lol
Yeah, that's the reason they just wrote another article on it the other day talking about an April release date. I think it was code named the fireball, model number 6410. So yes, clearly it was the rezound. 6425.
I'm hanging on to my TBolt until something amazing comes out. When I leave my TBolt it's going to be for something that absolutely blows it away and something that shows great developer support.
I'm going back to tmobile as soon as my contract is up since the little lady and I can get on a family plan and cut down on the bills. I was offered a charge but no thanks!

Yep. Seems if you like Android, a GSM carrier (T-mo) is the way to go. I'm sticking with Big Red since they have LTE and I have unlimited data. As soon as they find a way to kill that, I'm out.

I just got the RAZR MAXX last week, coming from the bolt, and am pretty happy with it. The new blur actually isn't bad at all. Definitely not as much on the dev side for it as the bolt, but we do have root and some custom ROMs, themeing and over clocking options. Also, we are rumored to be getting ICS this week! And even if that doesn't drop, there's a leaked version that you can load. Signal and battery life are excellent as well! Would I have paid $200+ for this phone with a 2 year contract? Probably not due to the locked bootloader! But for free...most certainly worth it!

The HTC One X just came out, or within the next week or so, on T-Mobile and I believe AT&T as well. IF a version comes out for Verizon, it will be HTC's flagship device of the year.
If I wasn't getting such a good deal with Verizon ($59.99 for unlimited data, text, and 450 mins), then I would probably switch to AT&T since they are pretty strong up here. US Cellular is my preferred choice of a carrier but they have horrible phones.

Considering we get Flagship phones so late thanks to Verizon's over testing, we would get lucky if we get the One X before X-Mas.
The One X would probably be the first real tempting upgrade from the Thunderbolt. I doubt we'll see such a phone at Verizon though. We would have already heard the rumors.
The Incredible 4G will most likely be our closest counterpart of the One series.
Read last post.
Best Sprint 4g wimax phone for Internet Sharing? Pretty easy question, all I care about is a phone good enough to root, run a custom rom and enable internet sharing. Yes, I understand LTE is better but I plan on getting a Windows Phone 8 device after Sprint realizes how stupid they are being and adds them.
I was thinking of the Evo 4g but having issues finding one. What about a Epic 4g Touch?
Not one person has any help? Should this be in a different place?
If you live in a Wimax market, the Epic 4G Touch is a great phone. I bought mine in January and even though I do not live in a Wimax market, I still love this phone and in.my opinion it is well worth the $250 I paid then. I would imagine with a new contract it's probably about a hundred bucks now. Off contract you would pay anywhere between $150 and $300 depending on condition and what the seller is asking.
There is plenty of support from developers, we have official ICS and Samsung is working on a JB release.
The E4GT does not have a locked boot loader. Extremely easy to flash custom ROMs, very fast, smooth, excellent build quality.

I would also like it to run Android 4.0 or higher that I can purchase pretty cheaply through ebay or cowboom. I am not sure if I am staying with Sprint and I have 1 of 3 phones still under contract but Sprint 3g is so slow in Houston I need a 4g phone.
