Nowhere. You will not find dirt-cheap, unlocked smart phones anywhere in New York City.
Perhaps from a crackhead or thief.
Mobilecityonline.com has a storefront in Tribeca. Its worth a shot.

Hello freinds.
I'm looking for recommendations on websites that sell Samsung Captivate at fair prices.
It is important that the site will make deliveries to Israel.
Thx.
You'll be looking for the vanilla Galaxy S phone (i9000), which you can order from somewhere like Clove.
Hey, I'm looking the specific version Samsung Captivate from U.S.
You know websites are sell the smartphone?
Thx.
have you tried wirefly.com? They sell the captivate for $559 - no contract. That is the only "fair" price you will find. It is an AT&T phone and you will have to but it from AT&T reseller.
I don't know if they ship to Israel. You may need a US buyer to reship it.
Could always check eBay....
If I could get my hands on the i9000, I'd be pleased.

I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4g sprint phone. tried to switch to my account, says it's still active. I can't get in contact with the lady I bought from, is there anyway I can "open" or deactivate it so I can use it on my account. I would hate to waist $400...... Thanks....
hmmph? Thanks for all the assistance..... I got the phone for my wife and she has no need or desire for it to be rooted or anything like that. I'm in the military and the lady I got the phone from PCS'd (moved by the army) to the east coast and I didn't feel like waiting for her to get situated to fix the problem. I have a hand written bill of sale but we all know that hand written isn't worth more than the paper its written on...... oh well, I'll just have to wait on her.

Bottom line is I'll be joing the T-mo family, and I'm coming over because of cost.
I'm going to be picking up a Used/New Sidekick 4G off of craigslist. I'm looking at spending between 150-200. I need the Keyboard and the Touchslide is out of my cost range. I'm going on the family value plan for 99.89 for two lines. Any suggestions on this phone or anyother with a keyboard. What pitfalls could i get into with buying one off craigslist, can these phones be blacklisted like sprint(I.E. bad ESN), I know they take sim cards. Any other tips
Thx
With Tmobile, I'm pretty sure that popping in your sim card before you buy will tell you whether the esn is clean. I have always used keyboard phones, and for my taste, i'd say the other option besides the SK would be the G2... I think the SK4G has a better keyboard, but I prefer the G2 in just about every other way, the main one being the awesome development by XDA members and Cyanogen etc. that has and is being done for the device. That phone has been out for almost a year, but I am tempted to buy a new one and keep using that sucker. Lol. But I like the SK too, I think it's a great little phone, and the guys here have done some really good stuff with it.
Good luck with your switch!
I just bought my daughter a brand new SK4G for $149.00 at the local T-Mobile store at the Mall. It was an upgrade for an AT&T "pursuit" she had running on T-Mobile. Just a "heads up" for you in case you wanted to check new from a dealer than "Craig's flea market".
My bad, I am on a "classic plan". If you are a heavy texter, no better keyboard IMHO.

Tmobile will price match so go online and you can probably find someone giving it away free with a new contract then just show them the website. That's what I did and I used amazon wireless to show them, walked out of the store with a free sidekick

They told me on the Value Plan I have to pay retail for the phone, and I don't even qualify for the rebates, however different rep's have told me different things on the rebates.
I'm confused i have seen expansys selling nexus s for AT&T but it's nowhere to be found on the AT&T site :/ , so it's only a Canadian model that happens to work on AT&T bands? the iPhone 4 is not on the AT&T site either, what's going on with that?
I'm hoping to get a nexus prime but since they don't seem to fully carry the nexus s, there's Little chance that they'll sell the prime

how ridiculous is that? selling a phone exclusively through a store, i can almost forgive them that, but there are NO traces of the phone on the AT&T site , BIG MISTAKE

Well, no carrier stocked the Nexus One in their stores either (US).
When Google set out with the Nexus S they got away from distributing the phones themselves and needed someone with a distribution network in place. They partnered with Best Buy in the US and Car Phone Warehouse abroad to accomplish this. Part of the agreement was that it remained an exclusive device (for obvious reasons).
This gave them not only an established distribution network, but also a partner who could advertise to a broad customer base and get a hands on experience with the device. Every Best Buy had a Nexus S on display and they pushed it for the holiday season (Dec 16th release). This potentially drew in customers from other mobile networks who handled the device as well as gave existing mobile subscribers the chance to get a "hands on" with the device before purchasing. This was a huge step forward.
If you want to blame someone for not having it on AT&T's site, blame AT&T. They are the only ones who control that content. Best Buy has it listed for new lines as well as upgrades.
I found a cheap Galaxy S the phone and touchscreen works but the glass is cracked...
a new replacement screen cost just as the phone (I'm from Romania)
or a Galaxy Nexus same price same problem
and I also found a Galaxy SII with no sim card slot on the board, brought from America on Sprint network (I'm from Romania I need a gsm/3g... I don't know if I can use it) and cost just as Galaxy S with the craked screen
I want to buy a better phone cheap(I have a Lg Optimus Net)...
what do you think?
I'll take that sprint galaxy s3 off your hands

S 2 not 3 but I found a Galaxy S in exchange of my Optimus Net and 40$
Your only options:
- try to find a local service center that can order a cheaper part
- or even better, hit up eBay or chinese sites like dx.com and order the screen yourself, and then search for a service center or install it yourself.
It's still not cheap, but much cheaper than the official route.
Try ebay.om for parts..
diy
I second ebay, it's usually not that hard to fix things yourself. Watch a few videos on ifixit and order the parts on ebay. Alternatively you could just try to sell both phones and order a new one
I know how to change and stuff like that...
today I found 2 guys that need money quick bc they leave the country soon and one of them sells a S3 with 160$ and the other one a S2 with 190$... crazy right? I'll call them in the morning to see if the ads are correct and maybe I'll go to meet and see the phones if they are fake or something... I'll let you know
Well I'll take the S2 off your hands
