Get the Motorola Defy. It's fairly easy to root, overclock, undervolt, and flash. Though the bootloader is unlockable it doesn't have much hindrance. Or you can get the HTC nexus one.

The N4 is awesome. It is also like 350 bucks off contract. Don't get the 8 gig. Get the 16.
If you want something quite cheap and with good specs try my phone it's weakness is the camera,samsung anounced an update to jelly bean from gingerbread but they cancelled it but the whisp stepped in and did the job for them..and it runs very good.in Greece few months ago it costed 92€ more info in gsm arena

Then buy the premium version! I can't understand why you people cry about the ads. It's a free version so what do you expect? Buy the premium version and support the community

+100000 on purchasing the premium version and supporting the community. For all we get from XDA, the least we can do is donate and purchase the premium app. Look ma! No ads!

Use adfree. You said that you where not rooted so may I ask what one does on xda if it's not looking at roms and such?

Definitely going to look into advanced version, but what happened to my favorites and bookmarks? They are all gone on my phone but not on my computer.
if u don't like adds then buy premium otherwise stop complain.
Ads are cool if the adfree version is 1.99 and xda can cover server costs because of such income sources.
Nothing is free, all work requires capital, including open source community free-to-access networks.
Complain about something that matters. Accept the need to share wealth somehow to gain the wealth (of info, software, support).

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in buying my Blaze and how much. I am planning to switch to ATT and get the S3 so selling it to cover the cancellation fee would be nice. I don't need the money and wont take low ball offers. I sold my old Defy on Ebay in April for 150 which was a steal on my end so I can easily post it on there as well and get a good price for it. Thanks!
Sell it to a developer :-D

I have a chance to get this phone. How is development? How is the battery life?
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
For that price you can't go wrong. Rooting maybe difficult depending on if it's on 2.2. Battery life is swell for me.

Yeah ask what software # it is if its below 2.20 get it ...the devs here are great its a pretty friendly and joking around community and a sexy device
Thanks guys. I really want to root. I have an lg nitro but a cracked screen. So I might as well try a new phone.

I got mine for 600$ near release, for that price its definitely a steal, and your getting a great otherwise

Ripoff!!!! Give me his contact info and ill let him know that we wont stand for it
Yeah, ask for the firmware number. Anything but 2.20 is rootable. 2.20 is not currently rootable.
Development is not as active as the most popular/active devices, but still plenty of awesome ROMs both AOSP and Sense based, by some really great devs. Just check out the Dev forum.
I got mine for 600$ before as well, im not biased or anything but you can never go wrong with this device.
Yes, 220 is a steal dog!!!!!!! U would b dumb if u didnt jump all over that! If u dont want it, give me the info, n ill buy it! Lol! Development 4 this phone is just fine. Theres plenty of roms to choose from, aosp, or sense. I personally am running viper rom 1.2.4 and i couldnt b happier! Ok maybe i would b if jellybean were out!! But the ics viper rom is sick! Also we have kernels, oc capable, splash screens, and tons of mods! Do yourself a favor n jump on it bro, u wont b let down, guarenteed!

I ended up buying the phone for 220. Bit found that there was a dead spot on the bottom right of the screen I couldn't press the p until I calibrated the keyboard. So I think I'll end up replacing the digitizer that's what I get for being in a hurry and wanting to drink with my friends

Check and see if its still under warranty.

How would I do that? Through att or htc?
It looks like they replaced the screen to so wouldn't that affect the warranty?

Kinda seems like you're trying to sell it here since you didn't post your question in the Q&A forum. Hoping to get more traffic in general maybe?

Not many people on eBay would know what s-off mean, and how much it would be worth compared to a normal one s

It'd be hard to get much more for it... Rare? Yes. Honestly that useful, worth spending significant extra cash? Not likely

I don't want no extra for it than its value. And to everyone else I'd rather it go to someone who is actually going to make use of the s-off or just wants an s-off device, which is why it's not on amazon or eBay. Hence why I asked if there was anything like xda mp anywhere

Have you tried looking at the forums for phones you might be interested in, then comparing the most active ones that way?
Actually doing things for yourself can be quite rewarding.
