[Q] Cost of Used G3

Hi, I suggested G3 for my friend as it was a sweet deal on flipkart. Almost half the price,(and now flipkart is out of stock). I suggested to upgrade from eclair to froyo, and flashed a custom ROM on her fone (Big mistake) she is so tired of freezes, FCs that she wants to sell it, (Im not new to flashing, i ve been flashing/customizing for more than a year) I told her i can fix it, but she has no patience.
My q is, if she want's to sell it, how much should it be? she got it from flipkart for ~7000. I can use another G3 for my brother or for R&D.

my friend, instead of a g3 just buy one of samsungs newer models like galaxy
pop or fit....
g3 is an outdated phone now and even everyone including the devs here on the forum will stop supporting this phone in about a year....
it is much more worth it to buy some other model as of now.......
as for your friend,,,,,just flash a stock rom or maybe close to stock like lestatious 1.9 . dont use any oc kernel for best results....
hope i helped!

I know stock ROM will be stable, but she just dont have that patience! (Women)
What if i get a 5000 offer? still no?
But I know the Galaxy Y is coming up, for 8K and its 800mhz with gingerbread!, but screen size only 3inches (why do they do that!)
But thanks i think i wont buy this then.

I was thinking about buying a new version of G3 when my went in the washing machine, but then I saw that the used price for a Galaxy S is around 200€. So I got one for 170€ or something. Couldn't be happier as this is way better then Gio or Ace or whatever.

Exactly, just buy a high-end phone used for a cheaper price. There's no difference or buy for a good deal. On CEx the price for a Motorola milestone is £109 and for experia arc its £130. However they're used but it makes no difference.

Hey...well im Egyptian too. good to see u here, this phone is great, only few unfortunate customers got buggy devices, just make ur mind up, if u want better looks and camera go for neo v . im using this phone from around 6 months and i have no problem till yet...and im happy with it, only problem is the battery drain...Salaam

gt i9003 is a mid to high end phone with a good price tag (costs a bit less than galaxy ace in some stores!) and it a good phone for normal everday usage. The battery life is great, the battery can last for 3 days if you are normal user, mine is celebrating its 4th day

Its very worth its price, only if you are unfortunate and get a buggy device. Normally 1 change of the motherboard and it'll be alright
Cheers

This phone is definitely worth buying especially now our development community has grown so much recently

i recommend the 9000
it has a much bigger community and therefore more roms
from what i heard a working ics rom too

depends on the price you pay!
If its under 300 US$ (without contract, of course), its worth every penny!
If its above this pricetag, i wouldnt bother with it since its a rather old device with not much developer support

well we can't say that its grown bec. dev's come and go mainly bec. not much people have this device compared to the galaxy S and S2 but there is progress on custom roms on this device. But it all goes down to how much you want to pay. For me it's definitely worth every damn cent.

I think it´s a great phone to buy.
It works well, I like the battery capacitiy (mine lasts between 1,5 or 2 days.), you can install lots of roms and updates easily.

Its a pretty good phone , good for the price too. i bought it to get into Android and i fell in love with the OS , i always hated Apple and their products so Android came to the rescue.. Samsung support for this model however sucks but the community is always building custom roms and fixing things up so its pretty well worth it..

thinking to buy a new phone, please help

Hello everyone, im thinking to change my actual phone, now i have a huawei ideos u8150 android cheap smartphone, now my provider contacted me, they want to sell me a new one, is a samsung galaxy S SCL i9003, now my question is, that device worth it?, it would be a good idea buying it now?, its a little dissapointing that it doesnt came with flash, but its price is like 50% of the galaxy S II...
i did saw the development area for that specific phone (here in xda) and its in legacy and low activity forums... i don't want to buy a phone wich its software developments are paused... there are some ports to ICS, but it have some bugs...
the other oportunity i have is to buy an lg optimus black, for some extra bucks,
What do you think?,
Thank you guys in advance!

Go with black.

but black doesn't have ics and its ips panel than super clear lcd on the samsung...
But the most important thing... the camera on the lg optimus black is good enough?... i mean, i saw the camera on the i9003 and i was impressed....
Thanks in advance...

I'd say go for the SII, seems a 'standard' good phone, although could wait until the III is out as prices might drop. I find my Nexus S is still good though

Not Worth it. Go for a Defy instead.
And once you decide to buy i9003, then you will probably need to change your id too, you will no longer remain cool.

Go for any 2nd hand nexus device.

Well he may not be interested in Rom development n may be happy with his stock Rom...in that case the stock Rom for this phone are pretty good.

I would have offered u my phone which is 1.4 yrs old but still in excellent condition. But I can't because of some personal reasons.

Bro don't buy this phone if you already had it go switch it up or something get a second hand nexus like someone else said or a second hand s2 trust me it's screen is amazing I would rather go with S2's screen then S3's higher resolution screen. S2's screen is amazingly clear, great color, truly vibrant color.

And an amazing burn in effect after 2 months of use.
Just get the nexus/S3 or just this device.. depends on your wallet.
Just saying, you'll probably find no one willing to sell you a device here, because the chance of being in the same place is slim, thus requiring annoying shipping costs and hassle, buying/selling a used one from shops is easier.
MY OPINION: If you can get the nexus/S3 used or new, get them and DO NOT ever think about this damned device again.

Come on guys. This phone isn't that bad. I don't see a need to be so negative about this phone.
I don't have any major issues with this phone. It worked very well for me on almost all ROMs that I've tried.
Of course this phone is not i9000 or i9100. And we all knew it when we bought it substantially cheaper than those models. Stop complaining and enjoy the moment (partially working video recording with CM9)

This ^
Everytime i update my SCL i feel like i bought i new phone! ICS works pretty good and day after day it becames always better and if understood correctly Dhiru is porting JB, so it' not over

Our phone us not that much bad in my opinion

i think our phone is better than i9000 expect gpu and development. if i9003 was an international model instead of i9000 we could have better roms STABLE including JB with much more developers. but just gpu is lower a bit.

[Q] Help me to buy a new smarthphone/tablet stuck between....

I know its a stupid q and btw im really stuck and donno what to chose
im going to sell my note GTn7000 but

so wait? what to do ! buy a new smarthphone or...
here is what i want from a smarthphone
i really care about performance
i really like screen quality and size but dont care really if its small like nexus 4
i dont care about and weight or size of body
i like to play games ^_~
i maybe call 1 person per year! receive 1 call per year
I dont care about price im a rich person joking but dont care about price but lower = better
[ sorry for my english]
EDIT : what an English ! .... my English improved so much over 2 years ( still not good )

U can get any one of the Nexus family ( 7,10 or 4). If u r getting a phone, I would suggest u buy note2 rather than nexus4. its way better than nexus4. Like camera, S-Pen, creative stuff they put into it! And it's Samsung. U will have a better customer service than LG.

So
dont wait for new smarthphones?
and ur eocmmand nexus 10? note II
what u would buy?
currently think bricked my note
maybe can't sell itxD

If u wanna wait, then wait Until s4 comes out! not sure wen its coming. And I said, if u want a tablet, get nexus 10 (or even nexus 7), if u want a phone, (ya kinda phablet) then get note2. its upto u!
