Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Would it matter? I'm also open to trade. I'll gladly give them both away for an sgs2

I bet you would. Sgs2 on Amazon goes for about $550+. You said you would let them go for $475/pair. Yeah, I can see why you would do that.

Anyone that buys from this guy is a compete fool. No offense buddy, just looking out for the members. There's a reason u need a certain amount of posts to list in the market place. Lots of people getting ripped lately. Sorry buyers beware

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Ha. I didn't know. I'm sorry I came off wrong. I was just trying to get rid of a couple extra phones. I know nothing about "scamming". Can we just delete this post? Its went completely in the wrong direction. Maybe ebay was my best option. Irony was I never thought about selling them in the forum until I noticed the"marketplace"

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Ecell Ebay Craziness

E-cell was selling the sensation last night for 419 pounds, the purchases rained down on them myself included...
This morning they have revised their price to 449, but still very cheap, its definitely still the cheapest around...
Just check Ebay and search for HTC Sensation, E-cell will be shown usually near the top

Well they are a reputable company with quite a massive feedback, and in the UK we are covered by distance selling regulations which gives us 14 days cooling off period and we can return within that time for a full refund or exchange.
I think 419 is definitely no money at all for the HTC Sensation
Are they an authorized Samsung retailer? If not, be careful with the warranty.

To be honest mate, for that price im not too worried 419 for the sensation is a steal I think
Even 449 is still a great price...
What i have seen of E-Cell is they get their stock the same time as others, so its just a matter of waiting.
Sounds like an advertisement thread to me. New guy + Ebay seller mentioned and praised.
If I find links to ebay in this thread, I'll lock it.

As it happens im not a new member, I was under the name of Jupiterdroid but erased my account as i have a massive year at university this year and would not be using my account as much.. You can even confirm that with Mick Channon.. So before you start throwing accusations around find out facts! I had well over 2000 posts with the JD account, i wanted it closed as i knew it would be inactive for long periods of time. So Mod get running to Mick and he will tell you the story..
I bought the Sensation for 419, dont you think that is worth writing about when the actual price is 500? Just trying to help the community when i can

Good buy mate
There isnt anywhere else cheaper thats a fact Even though they have now moved it to 450 its still the cheapest. I think they really undercooked it at 419, they had like 15 sales in 5 hours lol.
I know. I was shocked. Lol. I was actually In two minds about buying it now or a month or two down the line. Glad i got it now.
I got mine around midnight.
419....I paid that much for my dhd over a month after it was released.
I'll let you know how it goes once I get it. Now just hope these bootloaders will be unlocked. Then I can design my own theme and flash away

I would really advise you to be very careful when dealing with ecell.
Just google ecell ebay.
They have a very sketchy record with high value items like phones.
I bought a nexus one over a year ago. Had to file a paypal dispute after I found out that they lied about shipping the phone.

That does sound dodgy, but with over 600,000 phones sold and a good feedback in the high 90's im sure your one was a minor glitch in comparision.
In the UK we have distance selling regulations on our side, so if you dont like it, return it within 14 days and get a refund

Actually it is not 600 000 sold phones. It is 600 000 sold items with a vast majority being low-value items - this is how they boost their feedback.
The research I've done after I ordered my n1 from them indicates that this it was not a minor glitch and their tactics is based on waiting for the 40-day PayPal dispute window to expire. They come up with excuses as to why they haven't shipped yet or outright lie to you (as was in my case) claiming that the phone has been shipped.
Maybe they've changed their ways, I don't know. Just thought a heads up was in order.

your actually right, looking through the negative feedbacks im alarmed at the significant number of feedbacks regarding phones arriving a month late. im not sure now whether im going to go ahead with them. they did seem abit dodgy, only thing that was persuading me to buy was the 60,000 feedback

[Q] How much did you pay for your Sensation 4G?

Just wondering how much everyone paid for their Sensation 4G in the end, and how they went about getting the deal that they got.
I am currently an EM+ customer and I called in and they basically told me that they couldn't do anything for me (I said that I was interested in signing a two-year contract). The girl just referred me to the website saying that it was 250 and 50 rebate. I mentioned the $150 walmart price and she says "Yeah I think CostCo has it for like $90 too". bummer.
Please see the thread that talks about Releasing for Tmobile. I know it's big, but a lot of it is discussing peoples deals that they got. There's really no reason to start a new thread for it. I know you know about the thread too because you've posted in it.
submitted to MOD for lock
Wouldn't it be better to have a thread specifically for this information? I don't understand how it's a bad idea. Kind of lame if this gets locked. This is general discussion.
Yeah, I just searched several different phrases and didn't find my answer either. Leave this thread alone.
because it's already covered extensively in that other thread. why make a new one to just rehash what's in another. I'd understand if it was an issue with the phone that should deserve it's on post, but you're just wanting to know what others paid for for their phones & how much *****ing/politely asking/manipulating the system they did.
Right, which will be useful information for me and hopefully many others. That other post does not state that it's about what people paid or anything. But, now you're making this thread useless with your unhelpful posts.

New contract? Renewal?
Paid just taxes on 249 (that is around $20), and got it on 2 year contract extension. Had to talk with 4 CS reps, before getting this.
Some person will get a better deal than others. I think its depend to whom you are negotiate to.
But the worry point is, some one will not satisfied with others and will complain to their carrier/supplier and in the end all will not get a good benefit due to many complain others get good deal than yours..something like starting a "war" for the good deal..lol..
That's why its better to keep to your self on a good deal. So that the war will not start..lol

Bestbuy $100 rewardzone credit for cellphones including one x

So I purchased my One X on launch day at best buy (May 6th) and have premier silver so I have a 45 day return period.
I was emailed a rewardzone mobile deal today for a free $100 gc (rewardzone points) for any cell phone purchase and 24 mo agreement including the one x.
I will be going to bestbuy and getting the deal or its getting returned and repurchased. Looks like white is out of stock , but grey is still in stock if anyone is interested. Looks to be online only deal.

Just a heads up , I went to the bestbuy store and they wouldnt do a thing for me. They told me since its online only I would have to call in and see what they can do. I will try that and let you know what happens. Worst case I return it and reorder online. Im leading towards that anyways since I have a dead pixel.
I was directed to call rewardzone directly, through 1888bestbuy. They said I could get the $100, but I would need to return my phone and get it from reward zone directly.

Best buy was the only place you could find this phone in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada).. they seem to always have a few extra phones that are in high demand.. the thing is, it usually takes a little while for them to help you out... but at least I got my HOX on release day. the rogers store didn't even have any
All Stores should be getting back in stock this week. That's a sweet RZ deal.
Stores only carry the white in store. Grey is an online/special order.

What did you have to tell them to get hooked up?
All I told them was I received the deal in my email for the 100 dollar giftcard w/ any cell phone purchase (which i did less than 30 days ago) asked him what my options were , return it or if there was something he could do.
I just tried this, and they were snippy with me. They said that I'd have to return the phone. I mentioned that I "had a friend" who was just given the credit, and the rep said "I can neither confirm nor deny that." Sounded like a canned speech.

He will be losing more than a little bit. After eBay, PayPal fees and shipping he will be losing about $120. Unless of course he is past his return widow then he has no choice but to sell it.

Don't have access to the Market board yet, but Im looking to trade my One X and an iPhone 4 for an S3, or sell them to buy the S3.
sorry been at work. att rep told me 15% restocking fee as did the manager. weather it is opened or not. sorry for placing this in the wrong place. yes this is legit. 15% of 594 $89 I would rather help a fellow here who wants one. then take it back to the store. figure i would sell it here. and not loose ( give att) about 90$.
My nephew did not graduate like he told me he was going to. so no phone for him. he can keep his moto razor flip phone. lol as far as batch, i dont know how do i check?
sorry man this is all true. not gonna return to att store, nephew let me down. paid full price 549$ plus tax.
ok so after reading the receipt... i had 30 days... june 6th was that date... so now i either stick with it or sell it. i was looking forward to a GS3. but maybe this phone will do.
Coming from a evo I must say the build quality on the hox has improved greatly.
The camera is fantastic, even my 7 year old can take some impressive shots.
Rooting/unlocking boot loader is a walk in the park with the AIO tools, Id say if your looking to upgrade anyways keep the hox and rub that phone in your nephews face every chance you get.
i like that. just every day have it sit there and as he does my yard work just use it for like pandora for my out door system... lol put very good use to it. thats funny

Yes, I am. I went 1 year squaretrade with my S3 for a great price, but they don't offer it anymore so I will go with the 2-year.
For me, it's peace of mind. For something I use so much, I don't mind the cost. Just look at a couple of the recent threads about people breaking their screens. If you have insurance, you will get a new/refurb device instead of opening the case up yourself, etc.
for me not worth it i never broke a phone ever so i guess i am very careful with'em
What's the difference between square trade and asurion from att?

same here, never broken a phone before... not worth the $84+ a year plus tax (verizon charges $7/month) plus then you get charged $100 if you break it....
cheaper to just replace the parts you break imo. also ive seen some water damage tests and it seems fairly water resistance compared to the s3... obviously not considered a water resistant phone but chances are it wont get water damaged...
just be careful with it lol
^it's $99 for 2 years of ADH
I'll probably get it since I usually give my old phones to family members who tend to break
Just got two years for 85. Used a coupon code from a newsletter.
$3.50 per month is worth it. If I accidentally run over it with an Abrams tank, $99 and I get a new phone.

If only it covered lost and stolen. It's crazy that ATT went up on monthly insurance so it could include a service that no one wants.
Edit: Maybe you could share that coupon?

i always considered lost/stolen to be kind of useless, for me at least... i never leave my phone in my car or anything, and its pretty slim chance that someone steals it right out of my pocket without me noticing lol...
though i did have a co-worker who had one stolen right at work, and i work in a verizon store... guess what? they wouldn't pull the tapes and they considered it his fault. he had insurance though so that's good.
does anyone have a squaretrade coupon code they can share with me ? id like to get 2 Years + ADH. :fingers-crossed:
After leaving my previous phone on the hood of my Jeep, safe to say I had to get insurance for my S4.
I never get a phone without insurance. Too risky, & costly.

I am getting best buy insurance.. its 6$ a month if you pay out right.. 10$ other wise, but the thing that is so awesome is there is no deductible! Its free if you break your phone, and geek squad, has an app even if your phones dead
it can track your phone and find it, you get the best protection with best buy, I have ausurion now and it sucked when my phone broke I had to pay 100$ best buy FTW!

I think you may have been lied to. How can it track a dead phone? It might tell you last known location, but it will not be able to track a dead phone.

Even if you buy your phone from another company, best buy will insure it?How long do they give you to buy insurance from them?

Some will, some won't. 30 days from purchase if they will.
