Is $300 a good price for an iPhone 4?

Black iPhone 16Gb. The seller says that the phone is in good condition with no scratches or cracks. However, it has been used. I does not come with any accessories besides the wall charger.

Don't get an iPhone.

Like others have already suggested, I would suggest considering android for three reasons:
1. I love Android
2. Right now isn't the best time to buy an iPhone 4 because it will soon be outdated by the iPhone 5 (but still a great phone for a couple of years).
3. If you're able to sign up for a new contract, there are some pretty amazing phones out now: (I assume you're in the US because you said $300) like EVO 3D, Sensation, GS2 (soon), etc.
Definitely going iPhone 4? It depends on the condition the phone is in... is the battery totally fried? Is the glass free of major scratches, especially on the display? Are there any dead pixels? Is the phone glued together because it was chainsawed in half? If you can't confidently answer "no" to any of those questions, you're taking a risk. Maybe a small risk, but still a risk. If it's ebay make sure the seller allows refunds.
Assuming there are no such glaring errors and it's just an average iPhone that has been used, $300 is a steal. I would buy it if someone randomly walked up and offered it to me just so I could resell it on ebay and turn a quick profit!

Thanks for your advice,you say right .

(if this is the answer you are looking for)
1. US$300 is a good price for an used/second-handed iPhone.
2. iPhone 4 is still a good phone even for the next 1-2 years.
Considerations tho' :
1. iPhone 4 will be outdated very soon due to iPhone 5
2. Android armada is in general better than any of iOS armada at the moment, especially Android in combination with the new flagships like Sensation, Galaxy SII or EVO 3D. I prefer the EVO 3D since it has a relatively bigger battery capacity.

Not a bad price if you really want the ip4.

[Q] Still worth getting?

I'm looking at picking up a phone on a budget and the Nexus 5 is a definite contender from just looking around. Reviews and such are great, but they're mostly just yapping about specs and not actually telling me if it's good or not. That's why I'm asking here, finding out from the people who know the phone best!
So, is it worth it at this point? Is the lack of an SD card slot as irritating as I would assume? For those with multiple devices, is there another phone you can compare it to?
Thanks.

I'm getting a phone on a contract, so the Nexus 5 is $0 on a 2 year contract from Virgin Mobile. They have the LG G3 too (no G2 any more, but that's okay) for $0 as well but I'd have to pay for a more expensive plan. Broke life bites, but everybody needs a phone, and I'm never home so a land line is useless to me lol.

id say that if you are like me, a college student, and dont use your phone for about 3 classes a day plus an hour worth of driving, then the nexus 5 is definitely worth it and the battery can be ignored. If you use your phone like a desktop then id look elsewhere, i can pack out amazing battery life on my n5 but compared to other phones that get the job done at no extra battery cost, those are worth it.
The n5 is still a beast phone and i will keep it till it dies even though i can go get the lg g2 from my mom and just swap sim cards, plus she wants my phone cause its a tad smaller, but i love my nexus. something about it just cant be replaced.

1+1 is a nice option too

It's amazing how well the N5 has held up this late in its life. I have an N5, a 2014 Moto X, and an iPhone 6 and the N5 still gets used at least as much as the other two. I have a tendency to buy a new phone every 6 months or so, selling the old one to pay for the new. I've NEVER made it past the year mark with any phone other than the N5, and we are well past a year now. There's just something about it that still compels me to use it, and I'll certainly never sell it. So you ask if it's still worth it? Absolutely.

Ditto, the Nexus5 is a Rock Star!

Definitely worth getting of you can find one. The play store is sold out I believe. You can try your local Craigslist, even better on swappa.
Edit: Virgin Mobile is selling. nexus 5's on contract?? How??
Sent from my 1+1

Another vote for yes. Like metalhead, I've never been happy with an Android device for even a year, until my N5. Bought at release, and if I didn't shatter the screen a month back, would still be using. As is I'm on a moto x 2014, and while I do like the phone, and it really is a better phone, I'd still almost prefer to be using the N5.
As for no SD, I buy everything in 32GB and find I always have plenty of storage space for my needs.
I will agree the battery was pretty bad, but as I'm not a heavy user I never had a problem making it through a day on a charge.

I've had this since December 2013. No intentions of changing!

Support wise, custom Roms etc........ its hard to beat a Nexus device.
I would say N5 is still a very worthy choice:good: at the right price.

I recommend buying new. The warranty is so worth it.
Never buy used nexus 5's simply because there will always be something you might have issues with and no warranty :/
One note. You can't compare a 1+1 to a nexus 5. One is a phablet the size of my face and the other is a phone with a nice size display. The 1+1 is only 2mm shorter and narrower than the nexus 6....just to put it in perspective. Its a great phone but there are a huge risk to buying it.
I recommend buying like a small 2000mah battery pack that's the size of 2 flash drives and carrying that with you in your car or something. Just in case.
Is the nexus 5 worth the 350-400$? Yes.
Just got my sister a moto g 2014, looked at the specs, and they are exactly HALF of the n5, so if we do math, 203$ for the moto x2 = 406$.

And 1 more thing
Light user: you use your phone mostly after the work day, and then you don't use it too much. You should have around 75% by the end of the day (my experience).
Heavy user, you have plenty of free time or you need your phone 24/7 cause you have your own business, you will be charging your phone around 4-5pm if you wake up at 6am.

Moto X Pure vs Nexus 2015

Let's just get it started and facilitate it here. The discussion that is inevitable to be here anyway :laugh: . Moto X Pure vs Nexus 2015 (however many there may be...)
I guess the new Moto G can go up against the smaller Nexus 2015, if there is one. And the Moto X Pure can go up against the larger Nexus 2015, if there is one.
I'm preferring the Moto X Pure:
It will have a MicroSD slot and that's not a feature we've been seeing in Nexus devices.
The Moto will likely cost far less than the Nexus.
The Moto will be released sooner than the Nexus.
The Moto has Moto Maker. No need to buy skins.
Those are some that come to mind. Feel free to share yours.
Let the greatest Android phone debate of 2015, BEGIN !

I bought a moto X 1st get on Verizon before moto maker was available. I keep forgetting about moto maker tbh. Just one more thing to be excited about. The list looks great to me

I choose Nexus due to some likely features:
1) USB Type-C
2) Fingerprint Scanner
3) Likely available through carriers (yes, I consider this a plus. I don't get why people are so against paying $200 for a top-of-the-line phone)
p.s. I do get why people don't like contracts but come on, that's some serious financial incentive.

No nexus for me as they will not support sd cards so im stuck between the moto x..g4 pro and the note 5...most likely the moto x will not actually outspec the nexus 2015 but the g4 pro will

Other than Motorola, the other phone makers aren't really adopting the voice activation while the phone is asleep. I'm not sure if the next Nexus will have Okay google while the phone is asleep but on the side of the fence that's thinking it won't. It's the one feature that keeps coming back to Motorola phones. Even if the nexus does have it, I don't think you'll be able to customize the launch phrase which is really nifty to keep immature friends from f'ing around with your phone .

You are comparing 2 different animals. I will dump my s6 once moto comes out then dump moto once nexus comes out. Then repeat.

I've had the nexus 4 and the nexus 5 (skipped the 6 - too large for my hands and out of my budget at the time).
I absolutely adore the nexus phones. Top spec at a good price. Sure, some sacrifices were made (which I can handle for the price that I picked the phones up at) but I've had so many little issues caused by bad build quality that it's just sending me crazy.
Nexus 4; overheated like hell and cracked the back case. I had times where the phone would be idle sat on my desk at work (even tried this in safe mode) and the phone was warm/hot to touch quite often.
Nexus 5; on button sticking! This one drove me absolutely insane - where you'd tap the button to turn the screen on, next thing you know, the phone reboots itself.
It's such a shame really and that's the main reason why I'm switching to the Moto X Style - Motorola has decent to really good build quality. I'll still be keeping the n5 as a backup (after getting the battery changed) but I'm kind of done with Nexus phones now. And seeing as Motorola keeps its android near stock and updating quite quickly, I won't be missing much at all.

Some carriers are doing away with this option, or at least making it less financially reasonable -- they tack on a fee to your monthly plan that you wouldn't have if you brought your own phone, meaning you'll end up paying more in the long run anyway. With AT&T, you can be grandfathered into an upgrade plan, but make any changes to your service and you're bumped out and have to use one of their financing options, where yo'ure basically buying the phone outright but paying in installments.

Well, that's completely different than a subsidized contract purchase. I have Verizon, so I believe you're referring to something like their "Edge" option. It's paying for a phone in full in installments. They try to cover it up by saying "free anytime upgrade with Edge service added onto your bill!" I believe all the major carriers still do traditional up-front discount with 2-yr agreement though.

Nope, not confusing it. I can only use AT&T as an example, but if you do their "two-year contract" price, so you get a new phone for ~$200, you pay a "$40 smartphone access charge" per smartphone on your account. If you do "Next", which is their version of "Verizon EDGE", you pay $25 for the same access charge per phone (but you're paying for the phone outright). So you're paying $15/month more for your wireless service with the subsidized phone, whihc works out to $180/year. Over your 2-year contract you not only paid $200 for the phone up front, but you paid 360 dollars in extra fees too. Still cheaper than buying out right, but not by nearly as much as you think.
Verizon may not pull the same shenanigans (yet) but ... I'm anti-Verizon for a whole host of other reasons. As someone who likes to tinker with his phone, finding phones and ROMs that are Verizon-friendly limits everything WAY too much.

Nexus will almost certainly have wifi calling. Not so sure about moto even with M release. Nexus will also be first to have M

Although it goes beyond "vanilla Android ROM" features. The chop to turn on flashlight and other such features, will be a nice plus for the Moto Style/Pure too.

Speaking as an associate in a Walmart Connection Center, I would like to point out that if you are a data hog and use 10GB or more /month you only pay $15 for the line access on AT&T Next, so it comes out cheaper to use the installment option. This does only apply if you pay for that much data though. It is definitely a raw deal if you are a data sipper with 1 or 3 GB instead.

Let's not conflate phone plans vs phone hardware...
The discussion of plans/subsidies, etc... is completely different from what phone hardware is preferred.
What matters to me is that I can purchase an unlocked phone - thus decoupling plans and carriers completely from the equation.
As a current Nexus 5 owner - the ability to use GSM or CDMA was highly significant, as was the phone being unlocked. As a 3rd party carrier customer (TING) - bringing an unlocked phone that will run on both networks gives me all the flexibility I want.
Price then becomes the next biggest (biggest?) factor. When the Nexus 6 was announced - the fact it came in at such a high price wrecked the unlocked/carrier-free equation.
So what I'll be looking at with the Moto X Pure and Nexus 2015 and perhaps the OnePlus 2 (though this is GSM only ) - will be
- Price
- Unlocked/Carrier free
- battery life - has to get 1 full day w/heavy use (I love having replaceable batteries also)
- Features in relation to price (most phones nowadays don't differentiate features enough anyway - just a leap frog game)
- Size (the size of the N5 is perfect, could stand a little bigger but not N6 size)
- Feel - very subjective - but I personally love the feel of my N5, the rubber grip, fit in hand, don't make it so slick I can't hang on to it. Also, I don't want to feel I need a case to protect it. Why do I want to pay for a thin/light phone and put a case on it? I will ALWAYS put on a screen protector though!
- As close to pure Android as possible (but heck - I'm going to flash it anyway ;P )
- I like having an SD card but it isn't a deal killer, thought I'd hate not having one on my N5 - but don't miss it that much.
- Camera - not a biggee as I use a real camera for anything worthwhile. I don't care how good your camera is - selfies look terrible
- Durability...Unlike others - I plan on my next phone lasting at least 2 years and would love to get 3+ out of it.
Its going to take a great phone for a great price with most of the above before I give up my N5. The N6 wasn't close but the Moto X Pure - does look like it may do it.

As much as I am looking forward to android m I am hesitant only because I rely on xposed for so much. I didn't realize this until I used the g4 for a month without it or root.

True, but all carriers have discounts when you don't get a subsidized phone, plus there is an upgrade fee with Verizon for subsidized phones, which really makes the cost about the same and you then are stuck in a 2 year contract.
I'd be really curious to see the size comparison to the G4, which I have now. I had the G3 and it was the largest I told myself that I could go, but when the slightly larger G4 came out I decided to go with that. They praised the slim bezels so I'm hoping it's not much larger than the G4.

Fingerprint scanners are risky
Regarding a fingerprint scanner possibly being in the 2015 Nexus. I have to say, that does not attract me to it at all. In fact, it even turns me away from the device a little.
For anyone who has not already done so, I highly recommend a long and slow read through this XDA article:
Fingerprint Authentication – Just a Plain Bad Idea

Why Did You Buy A Galaxy Note 5:User Introduction Thread

Hello
Ive had my Note 5 for 10 days now, coming from an HTC One M7 of 2 years 8 months and felt it was finally time for an upgrade. Ive been a long supporter of HTC products since the EVO 4G days but lately have felt differently about the company so it was time to move on and finally make a change
One of the companies i looked to naturally was HTC's main competitor Samsung. In the past i have said negative things about Samsung. Ive always thought their products were overhyped, overpriced, gimmicky and sometimes unoriginal and that they were lucky to be successful because of their marketing budget. Never liked the bloatiness, not customizable friendly and bland UI of Touchwiz. However i cannot knock Samsung for their displays, has always been the best in its class.
The only product i thought about buying from Samsung at one time was the Galaxy S3, but Touchwiz was the main reason i stayed away. Ive always taken an interest to the Note series but wasnt ready to handle a screen of that size. the phablet idea was ahead of its time though. While i have been critical of Samsung and said their marketing is the reason they are the #1, i will be fair and say they have been more forward thinking in their ideas lately
I actually was more interested in getting a Nexus 6P than a Note 5. However the Note 5 was more convenient and affordable for me without having to switch carriers so the next best thing after the 6P is the Note 5. Also considered getting a S6Edge/Edge+ but thats where the gimmicky and overpriced mantra comes into play.
The camera was the main draw for me, followed by the S-pen functionality. I will miss the front stereo speakers of my M7 though and some of the friendly customizations of Sense. Still trying to get used to Touchwiz but i like it or hate it the Note 5 will be my phone for the next 2 years hopefully i will mostly like it. Its about time i give Samsung a shot so i can fairly criticize it!
Right now i mostly love it but the battery life is a bit of a letdown, hoping Marshmallow update fixes this! The screen, camera, multitask window and s-pen is all what i expected and makes it a nice upgrade over the m7

I had a Nexus 5, i broke the screen. Was replaced with this device for $100 insurance deductible (not bad). Phone rocks but i'm living in touchwiz hell.

Nope not bad at all.
I hate how the app drawer is on the right but can't find a way to move it to the middle of the dock. Is there any way to rearrange it without having to find a replacement UI and therefore drain my battery more? Lol.

had the note 2 time for a upgrade
plus I got some cool gifts

these were the cool gifts

I've been sitting a year out of contract because the SD810 disaster and a garbage generation of phones.
Sprints LTE band2 has always been garbage in Phoenix AZ, so I was getting fed up with 3Mbit at best with full signal).
I was very close to getting a cheaper older phone at T-Mobile until this deal happened.
It was $50 at best buy, and their insurance is great. Also the $100 Samsung pay gift code to get a gear vr for free. The holiday gift pack is just a surprise bonus I'm also trying to take advantage of.
The deal was too good to pass up and I stuck with Sprint, I'm happy I did because the two extra LTE bands that I didn't have with my Optimus G make a world of difference. I will miss rooting though.

After dealing with an increasingly slow s3 i finally had had enough of that phone. I was ready to throw it against the wall. I had that phone for two years plus it was already 2 years old by that time i think. Love the note 5. I hate the predictive text, mainly because i type fast and it doesn't always hey the word right and i have to stop and delete and retype...sometimes often. Otherwise I'm loving the phone, no complaints and not even rooted.

Are you buying the pixel 2 ?

My pixel works fine along with my Nexus 5x and 6. With the new pixel 2 around the corner are you buying it? I hate to be the stereotypical American who consumes in excess and buys things they don't need but I know ill resist for a month or 2 then cave in.

I'm getting sucked into reading the stories about the pixel 2. If I was practical, it would be hard to justify a new phone. What new features do I need that won't come from a software update? I do wish I had 64 gigs. Recently had to factory reset and that got me back down to 26 gigs used.

Of course I'm going to get it. However, there are a bunch of caveats and prerequisites in order to justify the purchase. And naturally a few different scenarios. Gift the Pixel to a family member that has a crappy S5 or any other Samsung device, sell it on Swappa, use it as a backup device in case something goes wrong with the Pixel 2 and you need to wait for a replacement, stuff like that. Personally, I'm in for the gifting and then it's justified right off the bat even though I still have a year left to pay it off. But the family member is on my VZW account so nothing it really changed in that regard. (wow, that S5 is a piece of junk, Yes, that's for all you Sammy trolls)
Then there's the price. I only paid $240 for the Pixel in the wee hours of Black Friday. I had a chance to depixel8 the device but chose not to. I had no intention of ever unlocking the bootloader or rooting so I just took the updates. I'd do the same thing here if the price were the same. Google never had a black Friday deal and I could not justify paying 7 bills since my 5x was working perfectly and still does. (running Android O beta, locked bootloader on that too) Bottom line for me is never buy it on any other day than BF and get the best price possible, locked or not. I fully expect VZW to keep the bl locked and I don't care if I can get the phone for $300 or close to it. I won't spend a nickel over $400 tax included. Since the Pixel and the XL are working so well and a lot of people are on a 2 year installment plan of sorts, I believe they will have some discounts on it during the holiday season. Just keep your eyes peeled since the deals are strictly for black Friday hours only. Come Saturday the deals are off the table.
PS I should save this post to remind myself of rational thought when the device is released.

I'm considering upgrading to a larger screen but I just switched to t-mobile and sadly Google only offers the Pixels to Verizon for resale. So unless I can get one on device payments I'll probably stick with my Pixel.

I can understand buying the Pixel over the Nexus. The Nexus always had that element that caused it to get laggy over time and stutter, but the Pixel is a massive step from the previous nexus 5x I had. All my phone are in working condition and i actually offered to loan someone whose phone stopped working my Nexus 5X.
The Pixel though hasent given me any issues. I think at the very least I'll wait until next year to buy it. It seems like the first batch of phones tend to have issues. I remember the first Pixels has that crackling speaker issue, but since this one actually works well I'll have to think about it myself. If I do maybe not until 2018

They are going to have to really nail it to get me to upgrade right away. This is a great phone.

Not sure yet, nothing wrong with this one, might wait for the pixel 3, this is just a great phone

I'd also expect the Verizon Pixel 2 to have deals during Black Friday. There are typically also good offers on carrier phones at times during November and December. I could have saved a bit by waiting longer to buy. I think the best offer in 2016 only lasted a few days.

Many of the Verizon offers have generally trended towards bill credits recently, where you have to buy their service for two years to get the price reduction, yet the Verizon S8 had a Device Payment Plan offer last month where the financed price was reported as $300+ less than retail.

No
Probably will wait until the 3, because my 1 is still in great shape

So got to add BT headphones to the mix too. Been wanting a pair anyway, this will probably force my hand. I have Grado now and they are amazing. I don't think they make BT yet so does anyone have some that are in the 100-200 range that are just killer?

I personally don't use bluetooth. Based on the renderings, I think I'll definitely wait at least for a bit. If it turns out to be just the Pixel with a few enhancements then it will be easier to pass. I was hoping for front facing speakers, but dosent seem to be happening. Also they are removing the headphone jack which I like. Something minor but should start being standard.....waterproofing, hopefully this new one is officially water resistant/proof.
It looks like they will have several versions or atleast 2 which is good. Everthing now seems to be 5.5"+, I cannot do these jumbo sized phones, I'm probably the only one, but I don't like excessively large phones. Hence why I got the small pixel.

Pixel 2 will be 5". As for BT I'd like to get rid of the cord if fidelity is as good. Waterproofing is not minor! Lol. That's almost a prerequisite at this point.

I'll have to probably update this post. If Google follows the Note 8 and prices the Pixel 2 at $900+, then that's a definite "no" for getting it. Beyond unacceptable. I'll keep the phones I have or switch to a GSM carrier and buy a One Plus.
When you throw in taxes and optional insurance, you are looking at a total over $1000

imma skip to the pixel 3. it's not worth it considering how good the pixel/pixel xl are to date

I was but it doesn't have band 71
