My friend is on T-Mobile (for some reason) and just broke his rather old non-smartphone. He's looking for a new phone, and decided to take the jump to droid. He's looking to spend 50-100 dollars max and just wants a working device with a good dev community. Suggestions?
The s2 i think is around 100-150 and its a great phone.

Out of his budget though, we're looking for 100 as an ABSOLUTE max.
It might be 100. Or free with a contract.

Is he willing to sign a contract or is he looking for something used out of contract?

Right. Ok well he is going to have a hard time with that. He MIGHT be able to find a G2 or a MyTouch 4G for around a hundred if he can talk someone down. But in all likelihood he'll be looking at a low end or very old model like a Comet, G1 or Cliq.

In case anyone was still on the fence but considering it, now's a good time to jump...saw someone over on Phandroid post about getting one for this price and verified for myself:

So glad I just spent 2 hundo on mine...
Sent from the collective. Resistance is futile.
Had I waited a week I would be fine. Went last week when it was $99. Ah well, better than 2 bills Sprint still wants.
This makes me wonder if the plan on supporting this thing. Shame, as for a phone whither a physical keyboard its pretty nice

You can pay to have your upgrade early, it only cost me 35 to bump it up a few months.

Bestbuy will pricematch other retailers as long as retailer has the phone in stock, so bb should price match costco's price.

Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.
I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3

Yeah so ill probably just keep my s3 so ill just sell a phone is there anywhere I can sell. I know ebay and I have close to 500 feedback but hate fees. If someone offers something I can do threw paypal.

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.
The new DNA looks pretty good. Only down side is it doesn't have a removable battery or expandable memery

My unbiased opinion says the SIII is still King.
I agree I just happen yo be running a note 2 rom on my 3. Best if both worlds

S3 is my baby. Love the thing. But if the Note 2 was out when I upgraded, I may have gone with that. They're so close on about everything except screen size. Like it was stated above, personal preference.

That's dirty, man.
yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.
Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.
Whats the name of your note 2 rom and is there a Verizon version

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.

Hello my fellow phone geeks. I have a question about a Verizon family share plan contract.
My dad's line is currently out of contract. I was wondering if there is a way I can switch numbers or contracts or something so that I can get out of contract on my line, and he can keep his. He's had that number for a long time and he can't lose it.
Thanks

I'm not sure if it would financially make sense especially since you have to turn in your phones and buy new phone.

If you are planning to switch, you'll end up saving a ton of money. It's a great option to have. Tmobile making big, smart moves, plus John Legere crashed at&t's party at CES. He's hilarious.

My concern is if I move my five lines which I pay $200 now will rise in cost because I would either have to pay for five phones outright or finance them which will add at least another $100 to a bill that would be about $160 before taxes.

Why do you people have so many lines?
I have 3, because there are 3 of us.

Nexus 5 is $0 down/$16.50 month right now, so $82.50 a month in top of existing plan (but you'd get 5 Nexus 5's!).

Everyone may not want the Nexus 5. That can be an issue. Especially with my wife. Lol.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
It was just an example, there are other $0 down phones, too (and you can expect some deals may pop up for Valentine's day).
My wife wouldn't want a nexus, either. She's addicted to qwerty.
However, I don't see any reasonable qwerty phones out there, since the Galaxy Relay 4G (which she has now).

My wife is addicted to the iPhone. I just don't want to pay more than what I'm paying right now. If I can stay at that $200 price, I'm all in.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, if you wait until the end of your contract, you can carry over any compatible devices. It might be the better option.
Who are you with now? Just for fun I checked on Verizon and for slightly less data, they want $300/month for 5 lines.
