Where do get a genuine OEM battery cheapest?

I was thinking of biting the bullet and going to a sprint store...........but nah

for the price of buying one at the sprint store, you could buy 6 generics and a 3 at once charger. 22 bucks on ebay.
there is always the chance they will just give you one at the sprint store too. you never know. if it is a service and repair center, they might have a bunch of extras laying around from sendbacks.

i have 6 of those generics id prefer the oem
and I meant from sprint store bundled with the charger

The charger/cord that came with the epic is crap. I use my old HD2 charger/cord. You don't want that thing.

meant this

well, details in the first post as to what your looking for are good, but like you, i like to take 3 posts to explain my self too. i guess you found what you are looking for. thread closed now?

no i meant i was gonna get this but its way too much
i was inquiring as to finding a genuine one online cheaper

You won't.

Search using the oem battery model number. I found an OEM battery and the charger case for around $20 bucks.

I say try this, back when I had an HTC Touch I was given an extra battery twice when I took my phone in for repair.

Try this:

I mean at the sprint store I work at, we tend to just give new batteries to those who complain about bad drain for free.

I found it for ten bucks less on amazon.

$22 is not less than 10

The link you gave had it for $35. Do you want just the battery or the battery dock bundle?

Why are you guys doing all the work for this one? There is a little site called google. Try to copy and paste the model number of the dock you want in the search bar. Trust me. It works.
Now what's the next q? Let me guess. Where do I find that?

No need to speak to people that way, please respect other members.

Does anyone still buy the captivate?

I'm new therefore not allowed to post in marketplace. I got 2 brand new in box.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

I bet you would. Sgs2 on Amazon goes for about $550+. You said you would let them go for $475/pair. Yeah, I can see why you would do that.

Anyone that buys from this guy is a compete fool. No offense buddy, just looking out for the members. There's a reason u need a certain amount of posts to list in the market place. Lots of people getting ripped lately. Sorry buyers beware

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Ha. I didn't know. I'm sorry I came off wrong. I was just trying to get rid of a couple extra phones. I know nothing about "scamming". Can we just delete this post? Its went completely in the wrong direction. Maybe ebay was my best option. Irony was I never thought about selling them in the forum until I noticed the"marketplace"

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

It can be from a 3rd party seller via amazon, however if you're unhappy with your purchase (if it does come from a 3rd party even) amazon pays shipping back if it's "defective" or not what you ordered (scam/fraud)

Thanks 4 the info
Sent from my Xperia Neo using xda premium

Just like eBay & PayPal, Amazon processes the credit card payment, not the seller. So all the sellers would get is your order & shipping information.

if you're talking about the 32gb card i started a thread about here the other day, then i can assure u it's reliable. had my **** in 5 days and its working perfectly. u can always check seller feedback if it's not sold by amazon itself. pretty reliable.

I have made several purchases from Amazon and I have never had a problem.

Bestbuy $100 rewardzone credit for cellphones including one x

So I purchased my One X on launch day at best buy (May 6th) and have premier silver so I have a 45 day return period.
I was emailed a rewardzone mobile deal today for a free $100 gc (rewardzone points) for any cell phone purchase and 24 mo agreement including the one x.
I will be going to bestbuy and getting the deal or its getting returned and repurchased. Looks like white is out of stock , but grey is still in stock if anyone is interested. Looks to be online only deal.

Just a heads up , I went to the bestbuy store and they wouldnt do a thing for me. They told me since its online only I would have to call in and see what they can do. I will try that and let you know what happens. Worst case I return it and reorder online. Im leading towards that anyways since I have a dead pixel.

I was directed to call rewardzone directly, through 1888bestbuy. They said I could get the $100, but I would need to return my phone and get it from reward zone directly.

only store
Best buy was the only place you could find this phone in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada).. they seem to always have a few extra phones that are in high demand.. the thing is, it usually takes a little while for them to help you out... but at least I got my HOX on release day. the rogers store didn't even have any

All Stores should be getting back in stock this week. That's a sweet RZ deal.
Stores only carry the white in store. Grey is an online/special order.

For those with Best Buy premier give the dedicated phone line support a ring

What did you have to tell them to get hooked up?

All I told them was I received the deal in my email for the 100 dollar giftcard w/ any cell phone purchase (which i did less than 30 days ago) asked him what my options were , return it or if there was something he could do.

I just tried this, and they were snippy with me. They said that I'd have to return the phone. I mentioned that I "had a friend" who was just given the credit, and the rep said "I can neither confirm nor deny that." Sounded like a canned speech.

Otterbox [Mother of all cases] for the G2

Hello,
So I am thinking about getting a G2. Thing is I love otterbox. They are so lovely. I have one on my 9900 right now (yea I know, its a blackberry.. flame me..)
I have found evidence (more evidence) of an ancient myth- that there was production of the otterbox for the G2/Desire Z. Problem is looks like they are a commodity right now. I found one on ebay (for $99- no thanks) and amazon has none in stock. I couldnt find any on craigslist. Any other ideas or successful vendors you G2's users have used (pun) ?
Or better yet, anyone want to sell me theirs?
Thx.

Whoa, those prices are ridiculous. I am currently typing this on my Otterbox Commuter covered G2 and it is indeed awesome, unfortunately I won't be departing for a new device for quite some time...
Your best bet will definitely be getting one off of an owner who has or will be moving on soon. Best of luck good sir.

Two links I found after a quick Google search, I have never dealt with either of these sellers, so as always be vigilant and use PayPal if you can.

i have the otterbox commuter case for the Vision/DZ/G2 that I am not using right now. Had it on and loved it, but grew to like the feel of the phone by itself. If you want to cover shipping, I could send it off to you. PM me if interested.

I agree the cover is great but the front is weak. They have stopped making the covers so that's why the prices are high.
I am currently using the otterbox back and a case mate front. (Case mate had a weak back).

Sent from my HTC Vision

Truth. I finally got one and its probably my favorite thing about my G2 (lol). I love this case, its so perfect. I finally hunted one down after sketchy site after sketchy site was out of stock (thanks paypal for the refunds).
I bought on here and actually bought one at the same time on ebay; just in case, because these cases are rarer than diamonds. Go otterbox!

I do like how the majority of the Otterbox cases on eBay have the exact same picture... it makes me feel very safe buying from them (sarcasm)
