I've been stalking a few broken phones on ebay. Besides clean esn's what else do I need to be aware of?
My plan is to send it to moto for repairs. It should still be cheaper than $600 retail.
Thoughts?

I'm upgrading from the Bionic. It just got JB but I'm a gadget person and held a Maxx HD Saturday, and fell in love with it.
I'm also stuck in unlimited 4G data limbo where I can't use the discounted pricing anymore, but I don't have $650 for retail :crying:
You could consider doing their payment plan it costs $24.
Or find someone who wants to sell an upgrade on craigslist. Good luck.

I got mine for $280 on eBay last week. Lucked out on an afternoon mid-week close.
If you look around you can find similar deals.
I bought mine on Swappa in January. Still in the box, never activated for $350.
I see a couple of Razr HD on the site for under $350 now.
I came from a Razr Maxx and went with a Razr HD (no Maxx).
It beats the battery on the OG Maxx hands down. Unless I try to drain it down, at the end of the day I'm good.
I will be selling my mint HD very soon as I am upgrading.

I ended up buying one off ebay that wasn't broken. Just didn't want to take the risk. I wish I had know beforehand that it needed a micro sim but that's my fault. One quick trip to VZ later and I was online.
I love this device. Such a step up from my bionic.
Rooted and unlocked bootloader before I even configured the phone.

i have an htc aria but a friend of mine has the inspire and i really like it im in between jobs at the moment and was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an inspire for cheap any help would be greatly appriceated
depending on where you are in your contract with AT&T, you might be able to get one for as low as $59, depending on the reseller and if they are willing to use part of their commission to give you a discount for a two-year renewal. If it is too early for you to qualify for a discount on the upgrade, try Amazon, eBay or Craigslist.

no contract is 399, which is incredibly cheap for a phone full price. i'm tempted to buy this every day because of its 399 price tag. other devices are 550-600 for the same quality phone.
your other choice is craigslist or ebay. great deals exist.
Maybe the razr or nexus with free accessories, our 50 dollar price drop,I mean something has to go down right? Cheers!!

Just go to AmazonWireless.com. The Droid Charge is free right now.
An employee at radio shack told me most of the Verizon phones will be free with upgrade. Might include razor.

Less likely on any of the phones you would be interested in. More likely on the older phones.
my daughters line is up for an Upgrade on 20 Dec. Called tonight to see if they would let me upgrade now since its a month away so I could get it done before christmas...told me sure, as long as you don't want to upgrade to any 4G phone. Pfft, 20 Dec it is. I also asked if waiting til 20 Dec was going to net me any discounts or other pricing offers, said, Nope none planned. Oh well.
The only free Verizon phone radioshack is gonna have is the stratosphere. Black Friday will have cheaper phones but the razr is not included. I can't remember the prices off the top of my head.

Anyone know if the Rezound will be discounted? I can only upgrade directly through VZW though.
...before you buy the Razr please ensure your prepared for
1. a crappy display
2. 4G/3G data popping in and out and dropping completely (ala Bionic)
3. alarms not functioning properly
4. missed phone calls/texts
(my experiences in 4 days with it)
if your going to upgrade, grab the Nexus Prime ...Samsung may be plastic, but they function at least 95% of the time
As far as "deals" are concerned, I'm never buying from a VZW store again - not unless there's a darned good reason.
I'll probably be buying at Costco - They're deals are usually really good: Some of the cheapest pricing, with nice accessories thrown in for free. I might try Amazon or Best Buy, too.
Now that VZW has tossed the "New Every Two" plan, I plan on tossing VZW.

Like I said, no real sales on any of the newer stuff.
$200 for a XOOM probably isn't a bad deal, if it wasn't for the monthly cellular contract you have to purchase with it.
Just saw a commercial on TV last night that Verizon will be offering the red DINC2 for free on black Friday. My wife watches this website every year around this time, check it out.
http://bfads.net/
They list a ton of the black friday deals for all kinds of stores.
Also, Amazon.com has all Verizon phones for 1 cent. (with an upgrade). This includes the Bionic, Rezound and Razr.

I currently have a RAZR maxx and I'm being offered by Verizon to switch to the s iii because of problems with recent replacement phones.
2 questions.
1. Is this a smart move? Newer phone less battery.
2. I have a very old cheap unlimited data plan. I am scared of loosing it. Could that happen? I have lost a text plan this way in the past.
Thanks in advance.

I used to dread data caps, but I did an inventory of all my usage and I never really needed more than 3 average, a few months of 5 or more but I just do updates over Wi-Fi now or large downloads like wise, I have an s3 and I absolutely love it. Battery life is the best I've ever seen, came from an evo, still use that too. Gs3 is definitely a good buy.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
It not so much the data cap. It's the almost $100 a month it would cost me more for just 2gb. It is a great plan!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
So if u accept the s3 they'll force u to give up the unlimited?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Not worth it. Don't lose your unlimited data plan. Buy the phone on craigslist then sell your RAZR maxx.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
They won't take unlimited away due to a swap. Swapping devices due to bad replacements is not renewing your contract. Just like if you buy a phone for full retail it doesn't take unlimited away either.
If you can swap without losing your unlimited data plan then definitely go for it
My mom had the razr and step dad razr maxx, but i put a custom rom in the razr, pretty much the same as maxx minus extra battery power . I have s3, i think S3 is better. Motorola is behind on roms, more restricted I think. But still a great looking phone. But you can't change the battery on the razrs, so s3 wins in that department imo.
There is a thread in the stickies for other phone discussions
Thanks

I am looking to buy a Razr Maxx HD, unlocked, for Verizon. Online, the VZW store price is $650. Amazon Wireless has is for $700! And there are a few on ebay for even more! Nothing on CL.
Any other places worth checking?
Razr maxx HD unlocked on Verizon? I'd say you are.getting scammed. There is a dev HD on verizon but no Maxx unlocked.... (as of yet as far as I know)

Cheapest price anywhere is the Verizon price for a non-contract phone purchase (and plan to pay 691 bones more or less depending on your state tax rate - effing gov't...). Already did the extensive search, everyone is more expensive (base price) than VeeZeeDub. That's the price we pay for wanting the latest and greatest when it first releases (just picked up mine yesterday to keep my unlimited data plan, which I am thinking is your reasoning for the off-contract purchase as well).
Personally, I think it's worth every dollar of that 691 bones, and that's coming from a perpetual "buyer's remorse" personality
Wow your taxs must be high. Bought the dev from moto website and total with tax is 635.99.

Our taxes are probably about the same, doing a quick calculation I'm guessing your rate is 6%, mine is 6.35% (CT sucks arse in more ways than just this). I bought the MAXX HD, you got the HD Dev. HD Dev is 600 bones, MAXX HD is 650. I wanted the larger battery, and I'm in no need of an unlocked phone since they already have a rooting method for the HD (and MAXX HD of course).
And I'm also banking on the developers here having the skillz to unlock this bad boy by the time I need it unlocked (if ever).
Ah, durp. that makes sense. Yea MD sales tax is 6%.

I won a free Razr Max HD from MakewithMoto, and after talking with them I basically now have the choice between getting the regular model, or waiting and they'll try and see if they can get me the developer edition. (after I won, they had me email them, and they asked if I had any questions, I asked if it was the normal or developer edition, and they offered to try and get me the developer one)
My questions are:
1: regular or developer? I will definitely get the regular one sooner if I go that route. But would the developer edition be worth the wait?
2: I am an att user. However, I do know that some phones from Verizon come sim unlocked out of the box. Would I be able to pop in my att sim and use their network? I don't care about lte, so even using it on 3g is fine by me.
3: keep it or sell it for a different phone (the X Phone when it comes out)?

Developer dosent matter you can unlock the bootloader when you get it. I doubt it has the newest update. If it's the xt926 and not the xt925 it won't work on att though.

I think this phone is fantastic but if you're not in need of one, you could sell it and get the x phone. Out of the box, you can get a good price, especially since you're trying to make it run on a different network might as well get something with which you can use 4G!
Who wants a 4.3" display? That's all I've seen on X phone leaks. Droid ultra could be interesting.
I would consider getting a regular edition and sell it new on ebay. Then use the money to get subsidised pricing and pay phone bill.

Get the developer version or get the Verizon version and sell it to get the HTC One or some other phone.
The Verizon version is going to be a pain to get working because of the SIM lock for US carriers.
