Washed my MT4G today for 10 minutes, fully submerged, in the washing machine today:good:
Until I finally realized it was in my pants pocket...
Even worse, is I hit the button and the screen woke, while being filled with water, I'm pretty sure this little baby wont be working right ever again.
(sitting in a bag of rice as we speak)
I have the t mobile PHP bundle insurance, from what I could read from the online claim form, I'll have to pay a $130 deductible.
So my question is, if that's so, what would be a few phones to search for on ebay used, that are slightly better or much better, in the $130 - $150 range?

Also not really an upgrade and I a lot of ways could be considered a downgrade cuz the camera sucks at 3mpxl. But the Galaxy exhibit aka Samsung exhibit II 4G is dirt cheap on EBay. Less than $100. Dev community seems to be pretty alive. I know you said upgrade as in better but figure I'll throw that one your way. I almost considered selling my gs3 and getting that phone to handle some bills but then... I filed my taxes

Okay,so after a super terrible day of bad luck, i was working out about an hour ago with my buddy. my phone was in my hoody pocket and when i went to get on the bench it fell out and the top left part of the digitizer (i think it is called at least) has the common glassy smartphone crack with the ripple effect about 3/4 of an inch into the phone. I have the AT&T approved case for it that i bought with it but that didnt help the 1.5 foot drop. When i bought the phone i made sure i got a warranty plan that would cover accidents. I could have sworn that the guy said it was full coverage. But then i did my research and it turns out that this is the warranty restrictions http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/basics/choosing-features-services/wireless-insurance.jsp and it turns out that it only gives you a deductible and i am a highschool student with no job or allowance and cannot afford to put 200$ into a new phone. Is there any super advanced exaggerated story that i can feed the AT&T customer support to where i get a refurb replacement for free? Its a little immoral but i paid for a complete coverage plan. And phones with cases shouldnt crack from that height. Please help me XDA community.
EDIT: Any suggestions are appreciated.

Really? If I went to Verizon looking for the same plan features, I'd have to pay them 139.99 USD a month. I'm only paying T-Mobile 59.99 USD a month, that's less than half. This is why T-Mobile is awesome.

With unlimited and 10 gigs of data I pay about $110 a month. I,myself, barley use 350 mins (mainly text). With the double data and 450 it comes out to be $120 for Verizon where I am at. I'll be happy to pay a few bucks more for their network and less dropped calls.

What better way to start a 12 hour shift than dropping your phone a couple of inches only to have it land on the one spot the case isn't protecting. Now the left side of the tough as nails gorilla glass looks like my first generation iPhone did after I had thrown it out of a moving vehicle.
As much as I love my infuse I think after staring at the crack for 12 hours ill be lucky if I remember to pull my SD card out before it has the same fate. So come first pay check galaxy S2 Skyrocket or swtich to Verizon for the nexus.
Random question anyone know if the att unlimited 4g that I have now will still be unlimited if I change to LTE?

Not sure about the data plan, but everywhere I've looked people are against the skyrocket. I don't know the problems off the top of my head, but everybody says go with the original s2 attain. I'm sure if you're running stock software you'd be fine, but the attain has way more dev support.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Thanks for the input. I was kinda hoping to try out att's LTE, guess ill do alittle more reading to find out if it's worth it. I wonder if it would be better to get galaxy nexus on Verizon or be pacient and see what att comes out within the next couple of months.

I get that issue on multiple roms....have heard others say the same.
as for upgrades skyrocket isn't bad just not the strongest development there, however rumor is the galaxy note should be here soon! Suggestion might be to grab a skyrocket for 29 days to test out Att's lte if its in you're area and hope the note shows up in your first 30 days.
Edit: and yes if you have unlimited it would follow you to an lte device.... but than there's the throttling :-(

From what little research I've done it seems it would cost more to repair the screen than what i paid for it. So time to move on to a new phone and get a better case for it. Either wait to see what att comes up with the next couple of months or be impatient and get the galaxy nexus.

nexus specs are pretty standard, its no sgs2 for sure but neither is the infuse. atleast the nexus will get long term updates and always have the newest android version. you don't get that with Samsung.
to each there own I guess. I have no issue with the 5mp camera or 1ghz processor nor the pentile matrix display, I turn the MP down on all my phones to save space. no phone can take good 8mp pics. the iPhone 4s may take better 8mp pics but better than bad doesn't mean good. hell I'd like to have a nexus1 just cuz I like the illuminated track ball and poketable size.

just because its gorilla glass, does not mean you can not scratch it, the atrix has gorilla glass, with in my first week of use, it had hair line scratches.
its glass bro, same properties, just a tad more durable.
I think were all forgetting my poor infuse is cracked. But I must say its the only flaw not one scratch on the screen and never used a screen protector. Lol

Wall plug wire
Limited Edition back cover, real not knockoff.
Samsung windshield holder with 3' cigarette lighter wire
Samsung desktop with USB/wall plug wire.

This is the NS that I list on my sig.
What should I ask for this package, and what should I settle on?

In Greece is still at the stores. You can buy ona 9023 (slcd) with 200 euros.
So i guess that a used 9020 (amoled) could be sold at 140 euros...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Koodo Mobile used to sell a NEW Nexus S (before it was discontinued) at $300, and their One V is currently selling for $175 outright.
With that in mind, even $200 is a little much. Maybe $150?
Hey just to be sure I didn't get screwed over.
Was my i9023 worth 260€ back in December? Do prices really drop so quickly?
I searched quite some time to find the cheapest one. It was also new and not used by someone else.
Cosmetic condition will influence the resale price. If you have a perfect screen with no scratches, and no scratches on the body, it should go for more. I wouldn't sell it for less than $150-$170, in decent condition, especially with the accessories/cover. Throw it on CL for $200, take some nice pics, write a thrilling ad, and see what happens.
... or keep it and use it as a dedicated "ipod/ipod touch".
Keep it and use it as a developers phone for porting roms

Yeah its pretty crazy how much our phones have dropped in price. I would say about 6 months ago when ICS came out they were easily selling on Craigslist for $300. Now people are lucky to sell em for $150-200. I wonder if we'll see an increase in price again when JB officially comes. People tend to want the "new thing".

It should not really. The phone is over two years old, single core processor, and officially no support past GB. ICS has been out for some time and now JB is out on its second iteration already (4.1 then 4.2). All of this drives prices way down. This is simply the way technology depreciates. The same thing happens with laptops and desktops...regardless of how clean it is.
I would base my asking price off what they are going for on ebay.
