Hey guys, so I'm in the market for a new phone..my Titan is giving up the ghost in the way of keyboard un-responsiveness and I really want Android..
I'm currently on Metro PCS (and plan to stay..$35 a month after tax with unlimited everything is hard to beat) and I was wondering what phone would be a good fit for me.
I'd like to not go through the hassle of trying to get the esn added to the network so a phone where it can be changed (like my Titan) is a must.
I don't mind if the phone doesn't come with android loaded already as long as there is a fully functional android rom that I can load it up with.
Lastly, I don't really want to go over $100 for a good used one so that probably narrows things down quite a bit, but if there just isn't anything that fits the bill then I can work in some wiggle room.
Anyway, hopefully you guys can help me out..
Thanks for any info!
get the htc hd2 there any where from 99.99-350.00 usd at the moment
Sweet, thanks for the advice, I'll check it out..
Edit: so the cheapest I could find it was $150 on craigslist but that was an old post so it probably sold at that price. I wasn't able to find any info concerning it and the Metropcs network. There are probably just some basic settings that I need to get it onto the network though.
Keep the suggestions comin!
Anybody out there?
So...was this a really bad question?
Maybe someone could give me some pointers on what the right questions to ask would be..
Hey everyone, as some of you might know, i have been trying to get an android phone for quite some time now. After having followed many device, i have been trying to get the Infuse since it was released. A friend of mine will be in NY tomorrow for a couple days and I am trying to have my cousin pick up the phone for me to give to my friend. He said there is an ATT by his work on 34th. I know that's not much info, but by anychance are any of you fmiliar with that location? My brother tried to get it for me in Boston and they kept telling him that they would not sell it to him without a contract. I am trying to avoid that bs this time around... SHould my cousin mention that I live out of the country and see if they are more willing? Anyways, any thoughts and or opinions are greatly appreciated. Hope this works out for me this time around.
Thanks everyone!
Wally world! (walmart) they dont give crap about it. they should be able to sell it to you.
Thanks Transformer!
I don't really know Manhattan all that well, but don't really remember seeing a Walmart anywhere around... I need to purchase it somewhere where i have friends or family traveling so that they can bring it back to me as I am currently living in the Dominican Republic.
dont really give explnations. just say you need to buy a phoen off contract.
Well my day went from great to sh*t in just a few minutes... I get a msg that my cousin is on his way to get me the Infuse at an ATT in NY so that he can give it to my buddy who is coming back to the DR tomorrow. Then i get the msg that they would not sell it to him off-contract... This keeps happening everytime i finally have someone in the US that can get the phone. Losing all hope...
Best Buy. There is a 24 hour one somewhere in the 30's in Manhattan.
Seriously? Anyoen happen to know how much Best Buy is selling them for off contract?
Thanks!

$600 /10chars
i asked a guy at the att store if we could buy phones off contract just the phoen no contract he said yes.
note! in order for a att store to sell a phone of contract it has to be a corporate store.
thats the info i got when i asked
Thanks everyone!
Dani: sorry, but whats "/10chars?"
Transformer: Thats weird cause my cousin said that it was a corporate store and the people at the store said he might have better luck at one of the small non corporate stores... I just wish i was the one that could do take care of it and i didn't have to have my friends and family jumping around and being given responses and answers that are mixed.
hmm. either way. it is a att product and you are paying full price for it. why not hit up att 1 800 number thur skype and see what you can get done.
maybe have your cousin wait there while your on the phone and have one of the managers from central call in to the store to authorise the sale.
I might just have to do something like that... Wish it were as easy as just purchasing, but hey, i guess good things don't come easy? I need to get hyped up again on this phone, cause this bs is seriously putting a damper on things...lol.
Appreciate all the responses.

I got my Padfone yesterday which means - if everything is going well - I am going to sell my One S in the next few weeks.
The funny thing is, I have never sold a used (smart)phone before.
Currently, I have an unlocked bootloader, installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
My question is, how do guys sell your used smartphones? Just as they are? Or do you go back to stock? Do you relock the bootloader?
well if you sell it online, You can state that its running custom firmware, But can be changed to whatever the buyer prefers.
Or if you sell it to your carrier (most carriers have buy back option) you will need to revert it to stock.
Also check XDA marketplace, You will get lots of interest there, and because people on XDA know what its all about, they wont offer you stupid amounts and try to rip you off !

That is up to the buyer, some buyers don't care and others might actually prefer rooted phones. Then there are others who might not buy it, thinking that a rooted phone is flawed.
I sell my phones on Craigslist (CL). Make sure that you NEVER ship out a phone! EVER! They are all scams. Ask the person to meet up with you in person and ask them for cash ONLY!
Also, people will always try to low ball you, just make sure you are selling for a similar price as other One S on CL in your area and you will be fine.
eBay is another alternative, if people are selling phones on eBay for more than your area, then you might want to try eBay, but eBay takes a cut (about 11-13%). If after eBay cut, you find that you will still sell your phone for higher on eBay than CL, then go for eBay. If you have your own price, try to add a Buy it Now or Best Offer. Auctions are more risky as you might end up selling your phones for cheaper than you expected.
P.S. Congrats on the padphone :good:
I am planning to sell it on ebay.
The question is rather if I should take it back to stock completely or sell it as it is.

I think if you take it back to stock you'll have a bigger potential customer base.
Majority of the peoples don't understand "root" and custom ROM.
I do see it all the time peoples posting for sell with custom ROM.
You could also note if anyone want it stock you can revert it before shipping.
I sold my Samsung Captivate a while back, listed it as rooted.
I sold it but the buyer ask me to take it back to stock.
His reasoning, he would root it but want to learn the process of doing it himself.
+1 on Craigslist.
It is local and safe if a cash only sale. I sold my Blackberries and my Nexus One (different times) the same day I posted add. No surprises. Left the N1 rooted and just Factory Reset to clear personal data. Had buyers meet me at common public place.
Ken
just don't mention that it is rooted. If the buyer wins the auction, ask him/her if they need it to be rooted. If they say no, just unroot it and send it.
rooted could be an advantage. the guy i sold to was heavy into flashing
Hi all, i only just joined this forum this second (so didn't know where to post this on here, sorry)
im in London uk
please bare with me as i have a bad illness im battling
ok in short ive been very very unwell for 13 years (very long story,but i was basically bed bound 13 years)
i used to be into tech etc but now have a disability (im not as bad as before but still bad)
anyway i got my first flat over a year ago and at end of year had a £1000 phone bill (talktalk land line) it was cause my illness im not thinking straight
anyway in short im not going to use the landline EVER AGAIN!
im going to get a pay as you go 3sim (321 its called)
but i need a mobile phone and have been told to get a moto g 4g version
BUT i really want a samsung s5 clone but dnt know where to buy one
i dnt want to get ripped off,i dnt have the money for a real s5, but im wanting to buy the best s5 clone their is going if poss?
any help please , or should i just get a moto g
also ive NEVER had a smartphone in my life so where could i learn about how to use them and what can be done with them etc
also do they need any security installing on them? as on my laptop i use avast and malwarebytes
also i heard dnt buy fake phones as most have malware/spyware deep in the phone that send personal info to chinese servers
is this true?
please remember i have a disability so find it hard to learn (but trying) i dnt know if this is the best forum to ask these questions,if not could someone tell me what forum to use
thankyou
p.s as im in the flat most the time would it be best to turn wifi off when i go out incase it costs money
as i heard to only use smartphones with a router and not outside as it costs alot of money
i know this seems odd its just ive spent £1000 on a phone bill and never want this to happen ever again
also is talktalk cheapest broadband in the uk?
also i dnt want a landline,although i guess if i never ue the landline to make calls this want happen again

Hello, i saw one new electronic shop weakprices. com and i want to ask you. Is it worth to buy this phone? I cant show you link here..
Im waiting for your answers guys!
If you like it then yes!
I can't see a phone number on the website which would be a big issue for me. Can't find any reviews either. That site seems very risky to me.
Yes. Current one of th best phones
It's a flagship phone and you'll be getting new tech for sure. But be careful to buy from a reputable source as there are fakes of the S6 out there already.
I've not regretted buying mine
