Who is getting your old phone?

Poll
MOM .. Dad.... Wife... Husband,.....Brother... Craigslist.... trashcan

I'm keeping my old phone as a dev phone. I'm turning Android App Dev so I want something I can have at my computer testing a whole bunch of stuff without causing harm to my actual phone.
It (Being my Samsung Captivate) would also be a great wifi player if I just put the phone in Airplane mode.

eBay's getting mine.

Im posted my GS2 on craigs..but if thats not sold fast enough its going to my sister for cheap.

My phones stay in mint condition and i either sell them for close to retail value or my wife gets it.
Best way to get the wifey approval is to give her my phone, which is usually one of the newest. Now I always have the newest phones without having to sell the idea or get my ass kicked lol

Keeping mine as a back up wouldn't get enough for my little aria even though it's running cm9 which some older higher end phones don't have yet

YEAHHHH Go Aria!!!
Mine is going to be a GPS and backup

Craigslist, guy bought it for his wife. Everything was still in bags and the phone was perfect, she'll think it's new. haha

ebay for sure. should get around $150 for my infuse, and thatll cover the cost of my one X

If I decide to get the One X I will either sell my iPhone 4 on Craigslist or trade it in for credit at Amazon.

+1 My Sensation along with the case, back covers, batteries and box will all be hitting eBay in one big sale. Now to convince people some dust under the screen and a broken headphone jack aren't a big deal...

probably selling my sprint iphone 4s on ebay, or craigslist not sure..

Ebay
Ebay is gonna get my old iPhone 4. Average sale of iPhone 4 is ~$275 and One X is $149 + $36 activation fee, so I end up making money on the device itself! (excluding the subsidized contract :/ )

i sold my captivate a long time ago lol was using dads backup blackberry. so buying the phone is gonna hit my account 150 bucks hard

Craigslist
Im going to sell my 16GB iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $215

I'm amazed at the number of people that are coming from iPhones to the hox makes me think it's really a kick ass phone because most of the people I know who have iPhones swear by them. Glad to see so many converting to the Droid side

AT&T selling out of One X online already?

Saw this little blurb on HTCpedia can honestly say that I'm not too surprised. This phone is beyond awesome...
HTCpedia said:
Some AT&T users who are looking for the HTC One X are getting some bad news from the AT&T online store. AT&T is currently out of stock on the HTC One X at their online store. I knew that the HTC was selling good, not that good.
The HTC One X's only real competition that is available to purchase right now is.... nothing. Okay, there is one smartphone that can compete with the HTC One X right at this moment and it is the HTC One S.

Wow.

Yeah, I noticed it yesterday when I was looking for accessories on AT&T's website. AC has an article too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/att-htc-one-x-out-stock-online
I hoping they just sold out and there isn't an issue with the initial batch of phones.

Well lets just say a few days ago I was at target and the lady said they sold out so fast she never even had time to replace the plaque that had the "coming soon" shown in front of phone. So she just left it there since she couldn't keep them in stock.
Yesterday I went to look online to see which best buy had this phone in stock for a friend of mine, and out of the nearest 10 best buys around me, they were all sold out.
I think this phone even with its relatively low press coverage compared to phones like Tmobile's One S is doing really well.

Yeah, I've been checking stock elsewhere and it seems it has just been doing really well. I'm glad I went and got it when I did.

just picked mine up today just come to vermont lol

I bought mine and got lucky that I looked at it and the guy set it aside for me till launch day. Only had 2 in the store and the other was pre-ordered.
I talked to him the other day and he said people keep coming in for one.

I went to an AT&T store in downtown Washington DC the next day the One X was released ( I believe it was a Monday) and they were sold out.

It's more likely they've been taken off the shelf to push the new update that fixes WiFi and messaging.
I really doubt the phone is selling out. When I picked mine up they told me I was the first person to buy it. Sadly, all the other customers were just there for iPhones.

I went to 5 different AT&T stores yesterday trying to find a white one. Every store said the phone has been selling like crazy. Every rep I talked to was interested in the phone and wanted to buy one for personal use.
I'm glad to see this phone selling well, it definitely deserves it.

I've been to many brick-n-mortars (AT&T, Radioshack, Best Buy) looking for accessories and all the employees were asking me about it. Employees at stores that don't have "live" models on display, like RS and BB, even wanted to check my HOX out.

It's a great phone. My local store had them in stock on release day. I was in yesterday for a swap, and they still had a couple available. Even in MS this is a popular phone.

Not that great of a deal IMO. They have been selling for that here on the marketplace for a while. Since he doesn't have to ship or pay fees, I'd show up with $400.

He said it's only 2 days old and is in perfect condition. Considering I paid $600 for my grey one, I'd say that's a good deal. It's the lowest price I was able to get off craigslist. I refuse to buy one that I can't physically check out first, so the marketplace is out of the question.

Lol, it was worth a try If I was able to have another device I would purchase the S3 to go a long with the One X. I was thinking about getting rid of the X for the S3 but this device is just beautiful. If only HTC could get there build quality back to what it use to be. Before purchasing this phone I've never had to replace a device due to issues. I've had this one swapped out 3 times.

Yeah I dunno what their deal is. When I first got mine it was rock solid but as you know my screen is clicking now and it's annoying the crap out of me. One of the reasons why I want this white one is so I can root and ROM it and exchange my grey one for a new one tomorrow and not have to care about it being stuck on stock 1.85 for a while.
I am interested in the S3 but I think it's ugly as hell. Definitely can't hold a candle to the One X in the looks department.

Ya, it looks exactly like the S2 with a different shape. HTC nailed it with this phone. Definitely the best looking phone I've ever seen. Bad thing is, I swapped mine out for signal dropping and not coming back on by itself so I swapped it out and the new one does the exact same thing plus has a little blemish that nobody would ever notice but me and my OCD and it's on 1.85. My other was perfect besides that one issue and it was unlocked. I wish I could have it back. Now I'm past my 30 days.

That's got to be frustrating as hell. Have you called AT&T about it? Supposedly they are pretty good with warranty replacements. Let them know about your issue, maybe they'll give you another one. And 1.85 WILL get rooted so just sit tight

I used to switch between a white and black iPhone. I've been contemplating this dame thing with white and grey HOXs. The thought of matching the phone to a suit or having it as an actual matching clothing accessory is not a bad idea. White stands out and grey is incognito.

I just found out on att you can add a smartphone line then downgrade it to a dumb phone plan and only pay 10 bucks a month. Go to sams club and get a brand new onex for 150+240 for the two year and thats even a little cheaper. Im going to do that same thing but with a gs3. Been having a hard time figuring out what phone I wanted, might as well just get both for 350 plus 10 extra a month. Also to other post....Hey if you got the money why not spend it, dont hate.

Get a Galaxy S3 if you got the cash to blow, thats all i can say.

If it was me I'd buy a GS 3 as well. in sexy red when it's available

HTC One XL FREE - Walmart.com

Just wanted to pass this on... I had sold my HOX waiting for the Nexus or G and well as many can see I just don't trust LG to many things being written.
Anyway I was cruising through Walmart.com and found that they are offering the At&t version FREE (no sales tax) just need to add a line or open a new two year.
I put in my order I should of just stayed with the good thing I had.
Happy Shopping if your' interested that is...

Ugh

AT&T website has a web-only $5 refurb deal now too. Ordered the grey one for my wife that way. It looks black and works perfectly, but it came with 2.20

Don't place your order. Return it.
It's not worth wasting an upgrade on a last-gen phone when you have the opportunity to get a more future-proof phone.
As amazing as the One X is, its not worth going back to. I did.. multiple times haha.
Spend your upgrade on something totally different. Get an iPhone and sell it for $700. Get a Windows Phone. Wait for the One X+.

S4 on sale at att(preowned)

The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html

If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

Its refurb though meh :/ I know theyre perfectly fine...but just the thought of refurb...idk it sketches me out lol

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Just sold my skyrocket for $220 on eBay. I'd say that held value pretty well. Listing my wife's S3 today, that should sell for $250+, and I really only need it to sell for $200 in order for her S4 to be completely free including activation.

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol. Out of respect I agreed. I don't regret it, I love my S4. I also got offered $55, and I told them I could sell it as a paperweight for that price.
