Hi guys
I'm a massive fan of android, i have a 64GB iPad 2 but I'm bored with no jailbreak... would it be worth selling iPad for an eeepad?

True, I know some people have used an iPad too though so they might be able to compare

On a serious note, i have used both but ultimatley they both have their strengths and weaknesses. For me one of the biggest things android has is Flash, having an iPhone searching the web can be a very frustrating experience - same applies to the iPad.
They are both brilliant gadgets i think it just depends what you want to use it for.

P.s. the iPhone is going at the ealiest oppertunity!
It would be for browsing, Twitter, Facebook. Don't game that much

So my opinion (and just my opinion) the Transformer would suit you well. With the widgets to enhance twitter and facebook and the browser having flash you would be sorted.
Although the system is not to the same refinement as the Ipad yet, ie you may get the odd fc but Android is only going to improve with time and will eventually overtake ios (in my opinion)
Thats my opinon anyways. (Did i already say that?)

Funny, I just shipped out my iPad 2 this morning and I'm a huge Apple guy.
Two biggest things for me were the higher resolution and the expandability... (microsd, dock, usb ports, sd card slot....)
I'll re-evaluate iPad when the higher resolution screen comes out but I doubt they will ever include a memory card slot. (Hope I'm wrong.)
However, my Transformer isn't completely safe either! He's lucky the Samsung doesn't have a memory card slot or usb.
I love Apple too but I've been using my sgs2 and android and I love all the customisation.
Do you miss the iPad?

Hmmmm...think about it, people. Can we really have TOO many toys? As the proud ower of two NCs, a GTab and a TF it's like Christmas everyday! lol

@Guitarfreak26
Well, I just shipped it this morning but I haven't really used it much since I got the Transformer.
I wish there was a way to sync my Yahoo calendar to the nice Honeycomb calendaring app, but other than that, not really.
I mean, there are plenty of cool things on the iPad but they were things I thought I'd use but never did.
(iTunes? Nope, use my iPhone or Nano. Airplay, never use it. Games? Keep buying them on sale but hardly ever play them. I'd trade all of that stuff for a microsd slot and hdmi out without adapters... And I did! )
Where did you sell? Ebay?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
No, an excellent board I frequent named Ars Technica.
eBay has gone to hell.... Buyer traffic seems way down and the fees are out of hand.
(Especially nice when eBay takes its pound of flesh and then their company PayPal takes ANOTHER big chunk.)
I agree about ebay....
Do you find yourself using the dock much?
I think i found out about the ipads usefulness when i went a convention last weekend, i tried to find a website where i could watch a few episodes of Monk and nothing would work because of no flash!!
No, I don't use the dock too much... Mostly as a charging station. But then again I haven't been on any trips since I got it.
However, when I do use it I like it quite a bit. Nice having the extra battery, extra SD card storage, a decent keyboard and a very nice trackpad.
Yeah, I didn't think Flash would add that much but then I started using sites that require it and would find it hard to go back. And I especially don't want to go back to the lower resolution.
The form factor... I don't know. I like both. The iPad's shape is good for books and magazines, and the Transformer's is good for internet and movies. (And pretty much everything else.)
Thatll be amazing when 3.1 is out and supports the camera plug in etc...

I just realized that! Almost 10% from eBay and another 5% from PayPal. That makes 15% off the total sales price, including shipping! I was shocked and appalled when I saw that. Resulted in a BIG loss when I sold my XOOM

No. Craigslist would be people buying for 99/150 16/32 GB units and trying to sell them for 200/250, just like eBay.

What's stopping me from adding 2 lines to my plan, getting 2 skyrockets or iphones for next to nothing, then selling them for $280 each, then buying out the contact on the 2 new lines, and pocketing $160? Am I missing some fine print?

Seriously? This is the worst idea ever. I know you need the money, but this is not the way to do it.
Like someone said, it's going to cost you $722 plus tax just to get them both off contract. You won't make a profit, period. That's even if you go for the iPhones because no one's going to buy a 3GS when it's about to be unsupported starting TODAY in like a few hours time. The iPhone 4 8GB is not worth it either when you can get the 16GB for the same price.
When people look to buy phones, they don't want them at retail prices, which is what you would have to do in order to make a profit.

Actually latest report I read said 3GS actually showed up on the leaked iOS6 file links.
*confirmed now
Seriously wish Android makers would steal this aspect from Apple. One of the biggest downsides to Android is most of the phones lose official support in 10-16 months. Apple is still updating 3GS after 3 years.

Hi all,
I am contemplating putting my NS up for sale. Not sure what I can sell it for though. Ebay is all over the map.
Here is what I have:
Unlocked Rooted ATT version I9020A, black color
Wall plug wire
Limited Edition back cover, real not knockoff.
Samsung windshield holder with 3' cigarette lighter wire
Samsung desktop with USB/wall plug wire.
Amzer soft cover
This is the NS that I list on my sig.
What should I ask for this package, and what should I settle on?
Thanks

In Greece is still at the stores. You can buy ona 9023 (slcd) with 200 euros.
So i guess that a used 9020 (amoled) could be sold at 140 euros...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Koodo Mobile used to sell a NEW Nexus S (before it was discontinued) at $300, and their One V is currently selling for $175 outright.
With that in mind, even $200 is a little much. Maybe $150?
Hey just to be sure I didn't get screwed over.
Was my i9023 worth 260€ back in December? Do prices really drop so quickly?
I searched quite some time to find the cheapest one. It was also new and not used by someone else.
Cosmetic condition will influence the resale price. If you have a perfect screen with no scratches, and no scratches on the body, it should go for more. I wouldn't sell it for less than $150-$170, in decent condition, especially with the accessories/cover. Throw it on CL for $200, take some nice pics, write a thrilling ad, and see what happens.
... or keep it and use it as a dedicated "ipod/ipod touch".
Keep it and use it as a developers phone for porting roms

Yeah its pretty crazy how much our phones have dropped in price. I would say about 6 months ago when ICS came out they were easily selling on Craigslist for $300. Now people are lucky to sell em for $150-200. I wonder if we'll see an increase in price again when JB officially comes. People tend to want the "new thing".

Make a separate thread dude...
I'm considering the possibility of moving from a nexus s to a skyrocket. What I'm wondering is, what would be a decent price to pay for a used device? If you could, give item two or three categories of quality(rough, decent, near mint) and a price range to accompany that. Thanks in advance.
