Thinking About Getting a G2x - T-Mobile LG G2x

So Someone localy is gonna sell me there 3 month old G2x thats in good shape for 100 dollars.. I currently Have AT&T. I know it says it doesnt support AT&T`s 3G bands. But I also read somewhere that it is possible. I dont know what the posting date for that was. But Would there be any way as of now? or is it still A no go.
And Would it be worth buying for the 100 to resale it maybe?
Also what would be the process of unlocking it? cause with my galaxy S2 I downloaded an app. Could I call up tmobile asking for it since I dont have a tmobile account? or how much would it cost for me to get it unlocked? (The cheapist site) Thanks

Buy it for $100.
Resell on ebay $220-260 depending on the condition

well im gonna get it tonight or tommrow. Whats a good place online and cheap and rep that I could get an unlock code maybe quick after I get the phone?

The first question you should be asking is why is he only selling it for $100? He could easily get double that. Just because the phone is only 3 months old doesn't mean nothing is wrong with it. I buy and sell phones on craigslist quite frequently and I'm always wary of the deal that seems too good to be true. Remember, often times, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is....I'd exercise extreme caution.

Well where I live is small so it wasn't found on craigslist. it was on a LOCAL Facebook page and I have a few mutual friends (Family Friends) with them. and they orginaly asked 150 and I got them down to 100. Where I live ppl dont have a good knowledge on tech stuff. I dont even uses cragslist much cause the closest city is about an hour away

Got it. Great shape too just needs cleaning.

Some ahole complained and I had to remove the link from my signature. Some jerk-off from the AT&T Nitro HD thread. PM me for my website for unlock code. Thanks for thinking of me.
BTW, $100 for a G2X is a steal, whether you get 3G service or not. If you want to spend more money look for the new Lg Nitro HD for AT&T. 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcomm cpu and larger screen and on AT&T you get 3G and LTE.

If you can get lucky and find one at a TMO store, but I doubt it. They aren't making anymore.
Is there a possibility for worldwide shipping? I'm from Brazil and my chances for getting to a T-Mo store are zero (finding a Desire Z around here was an epic quest already)... So my only chance for finding this one-of-a-kind dock is through a eBay auction.

It's because people don't know how to bid on ebay. A 6-day auction starts at .99 cents and someone bids $15 right off the bat. There's still 6 days left! Save your big bidding for the last 5 minutes of the auction. That's of course, from the buyer's point of view.
From the seller's point of view however, it's great! I've been there. ROGUE7474, well done sir, you are gonna make a good profit on your sale
*disclaimer: in case someone here gets hurt by my comments, it's just my opinion, bid away.

[Q] Best price for an Infuse

OK, I'm ready to give up my Backflip, and move up to a Infuse. I saw that Best Buy has them for around $100, any better deals out there? I am elgible for upgrade, with ATT, and saw that Amazon has it for $150, and Walmart for $130.
Damn 100$ isn't bad at all,doubt you will find better.

I picked mine up for $97 at Sam's Club.

Wal-Mart Special!
Just seen today with a qualifying 2 year contract they are going to for $98.99..I paid $160.00 for mine at our local Costco.
If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.
I believe, if you wait a week, you can get the sgs2. Fyi

$19 at Costco ... special sale. There was a big sign last Thursday on the mobile booth. Think it lasts a few weeks. This was in Union NJ but I assume it is national (I think it is in their latest coupon book).

Thats for the info! I'm not a costco member, but will look into that this morning. My thought on the sg2 is that it will be $200 when it is released (next week, next month, whenever), and will not come into the $50 range anytime soon.

I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.
Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.
or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........

I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.
One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.

T-Mobile sent me a G2x without the T-Mobile Branding.

Today, I received my replacement device from T-Mobile, and instead of having it say "T-Mobile" above the display, it says "LG". It's a P-999WD, and has the July 15 baseband.
It's not an issue, but I thought it was pretty weird. Now I have an Optimus 2x ;D

Nah, it was a Warranty Exchange, so no battery/cover were included.
Here in Canada we only get the non-branded black/grey ones
No back cover included for me either. Only difference is the "LG" above the display.

They're not exactly the same... They are however VERY similar. I'd say maybe they're more like fraternal twins than identical.

I actually don't even think they would know that you're not the original owner, unless you tell them. If you do warranty through T-Mobile, you'll have to pay a $20 fee, but if you have Premium Handset Protection, which is $7.99 a month, it's only a $5.00 fee, but it covers physical damage, and theft. Normally, you can't get Premium Handset Protection after 14 days, but they'll offer it to you during your warranty exchange. Also, if you have Premium Handset Protection, they'll give you FREE overnight shipping if you request it before 8pm EST.

There has been all kinds of drama over there. From people being accused of kanging other roms and people getting banned to just general retardedness like that guy. It's bad all over the place. Kind of sad really.
I agree. I think most of it is kids getting on here and thinking they need to make a name for themselves and show how badass they are.
Picked my replacement up today and unfortunately it's still branded. Screen seems to be much better than my previous phone, even though they were both DWs. Oh well.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I do eCare for a cable/internet/phone provider in Canada and we can be crafty with our words when we need to.
The way I'm interpreting things is that they ship locked devices and can add support later for certain carriers. He did NOT however specify that they WOULD add support for AT&T. If he were able to, he would have tried clarifying that definitively as to satisfy the customer's question and close contact.
Carriers have many confidential agreements and contingencies. I would imagine that support for unlocking AT&T devices would be contingent on the terms that they've agreed upon with HTC. And unless AT&T specifically requests unlocking support, I do not think it would be added. It would be bad for HTC to ship unlocked devices or simply add unlocking support without a carriers explicit consent.
That's the way I see things at least. Although I have a Rogers device I want to hear AT&T comment on this with a definitive response. They need to be accountable and transparent with their plans. We shouldn't need to find the answer from the vendor or another third party.
This is a better response than the other ones.

Here's my interpretation:
If they knew that they were 100% going to unlock it, I believe that they would say so. There is no point to not doing so, especially after feeling all of the pressure about it.
They can/want to unlock it, thus keeping their word. However are waiting for the "OK" from AT&T to do so.
Before I saw this post, I sent them a message asking about the unlock as well. Let's see what sort of response I get :-/

Their goal should be to answer your question and kill any further questions. That wouldn't quell my concerns if I had asked the question. I would have followed up and specifically asked if that means my carrier is DEFINITELY on board with this or if there were other contingencies.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong though. I hate locked bootloaders!

The easiest way to communicate that would be to apologize for not being able to divulge those details as they are part of their confidential terms and conditions with AT&T.
I've sent dozens of thousands of emails and have done the same amount of chats with customers and we are a lot more clear than that. I asked some colleagues (and fellow Android geeks) what they make of it and they said it sounds like a cop out. I hate to admit it, but someone's we get asked tough and direct questions such as "When will your PVR support XXX feature that YYY carrier has activated", and all we can answer is with something ambiguous because we know there's problems or that it's a long ways away, etc.
Maybe I'm thinking too much into things. I just read it completely differently though. I wonder how long it will take AT&T to make a public statement. All the other Android sites are starting to cover the same issue.

There's already 1 possible method that might work. We'll see soon. It involves temp rooting and then unlocking the BL after. it's an idea jcase has but we'll see what happens.

If that's real I guess I should be happy.

Holiday Specials for GSIII on Verizon

Anyone know of upcoming specials I might wait for?
I'm looking at pulling the trigger on one of these in the next 3-10 days.
Looks like right now if I want a Black one I can get it for $199 on contract.. but if I want white or another color, I'm paying at least $244-249.. which I don't understand, but whatever.
Thanks for your input!
i doubt they will be black friday prices but they should be cheaper. Just gloating, I snagged on from Sam's Club for $.98.:silly:
amazon has them for $79.99. http://wireless.amazon.com/Samsung-...=INDIVIDUAL_NEW&sr=1-1-entd&qid=1355352361679
Best Buy is selling them this Sunday for $50, new or upgrade.

Thanks, definitely gna get my brother one he's jealous of mine. Lol
Too late now but sams club had a free with two year contract. I'm sure something like that will come around again.
I had purchased mine at a 3rd party verizon dealer that offered price matching and took in a screen shot of Amazon's price and got the phone for 60$ (though the week before i had paid 80 for my girlfriend's the same way, the price went down after a week, i was quite surprised)

Its really pointless to find the best price for a phone when u have unlimited plan your just screwing yourself
You take the deals your unlimited goes bye bye
To keep unlimited data you have to pay full retail price on any smart phone

lol already too late for that :/. rooted 20 minutes after buying.
What do you suggest then is the cutoff point for what makes sense and what doesn't? I'm dealing with a thunderbolt with poor battery life and slow response time, but I like having no contract. Any tips on how to analyze this?

I got mine at staples on saturday and made $30 on the deal. They took my old Dinc2 and gave me $50 for it. I got another $5 in store coupon which brought it down to $45r for the phone. They also were doing a $50 mail in rebate on all phones $99 and up which puts $5 in my pocket. They also gave me a $25 Google play gift card. Needless to say, I upgraded both my phone and my wife's phone too. With both phones they paid me $60 to take them.

Been there done that I also "had" 2 thunderbolts 1 I had 6 remans 1 had 1 reman with the promise they will work 3 trouble tickets and 1.5 months later I slipped into 2 s3 with unlimited data and upgrades left intact.
I spent a butt load of cash to protect them all in all 60 gigs later I'm on top
GET THE FREAKING TOTAL EQUIPMENT COVERAGE $6.99 A MONTH
IT EXTENDS THE FREAKING WARRANTY UNTIL YOU BUY ANOTHER FREAKING PHONE THEN STILL KEEP THE FREAKING WARRANTY
CRYING ON THIS FORUM ABOUT THIS AND THAT PRICELESS
THEN YOU RIDE IT OUT TILL SOMETHING GOES SOUTH THEN PLAY THE GAME trouble tickets, remans, problems, software bugs that won't fix themselves updates that won't ever come cancelled hardware failure
"HARD RESETS DONT NOT FIX HARDWARE FAILURE"
I HATE GOING TO THE CORP STORES BUT SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE TOO SO THEY CAN NOTE THE ACCOUNT THE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE CANT SEE WHAT THE PHONE IS DOING
I have rambled on here how to get a different device many times
And I read the same stuff over and over
Someone needs to fix the freaking app so it will find what your looking for
