[Q] Get phones at a "Upgrade" Price? - General Questions and Answers

Hello xda
I am wondering if any of you know where to get "cheaper" phones. As of right now I want an SGSII for t-mobile, but I can't pay $600 -___-
And of course I don't have an upgrade :/
Any ideas?
anything chinese store gives me the goosebumps. Scamsssss

I can guarantee you that you can get one for less then $600 but it's not legal...
But on the legal side of things take a look in the "for sale" section and see if anyone is getting rid of one and if you do buy unlocked i would suggest the Nexus over the SIIX isn't their SI still on froyo ?

Threatening to leave your carrier usually garners an early upgrade. It's not very ethical, but it works.

Specially if you threaten during a slow month.

Samsung is preparing to launch Galaxy SII Skyrocket, will you buy?

Samsung is releasing a new Galaxy SII Skurocket.
All of your android device will be an OLD MODEL smartphone and probably will get an update in a year if you are lucky, you guys need to update.
Anyone buying the Skyrocket!
Well considering the only difference is the addition of the AT&T 4G network which is only available in like 6 cities, I'm going to say not many will buy it. You really should do your research before attempting to start a troll post. Exact same specs...new LTE radio. Get with the program.
bad troll post is bad .

If I trade my phone that is currently on contract with AT&T for a different phone, will AT&T care?

definetly no
What about warranty purposes? through Samsung or AT&T should work right?

SquareTrade?

I've read several forums regarding square trade and people's opinion about whether or not to use them or stick with carrier insurance.....my question is different and can't seem to find any discussion on experience with this:
I notice that for my phone(GS2 Skyrocket), it's $124/2yr and a $99 deductible..but I see that they do not provide replacement phones, like carriers do, which is fine, I hate refurbs. What they state that they will do is cover replacement cost.
Now I spoke with two reps and got two answers. My question is, I send them a copy of my invoice(receipt), which shows that I payed .01 (yes that's a penny) for my phone....in the event of a claim, are they going to send me a check for $600 minus deduct. or send me a check for purchase price minus deduct???
Has anyone had experience with getting replacement money from them?
This seems like a no-brainer question but we all know how insurance companys can be.
Again, I apologize and don't want moderator's coming unglued if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it.........Thanks.

Any upcoming Verizon phones?

Has anyone read any information regarding upcoming Verizon phones? Due to a corporate discount, I will be switching to them within six months or so. The only device I can think of at this time is the Galaxy Journal (Verizon equivalent to the AT&T Note). Anyone have any info on if Verizon will get the Galaxy S3 or one of the HTC One phones? I'm in a bit of a pickle with seemingly no new phones coming out in a while.
There's no real info about the SGSIII period, it's not even announced technically.
There's been rumors about a One S variant coming to Verizon but no proof.
Verizon is pretty much playing it safe until summer begins it would seem.

How to cycle through phones?

How do you guys keep getting new phones? They're obviously not on a 2 year contract, because people here get new phones like every 6 months. Do you take upgrades from other people on your plan? Do you just spend extra money and buy them unlocked as they come out? Please share the info, as I would like to get an Apollo phone come fall.
