Hey guys,
Just like all of us I want this phone, I haven´t got an invite yet but im patient and im sure we will all have recieved one by the end of the month.
The question I have though is if I should buy this phone now or wait for future flag ships?
I currently have the LG Optimus G, its not the newest phone but it doesnt lag and does most of the things I want it to, the main reason why I want to sell it is because I still get money for it now but in a year I wont. (Also the short battery life and bad camera - debatable)
My plan was to sell the Optimus G (on ebay they go for around 150-200€) and then buy the One with that money basically so I would have a brand new smartphone for "100€"
Is it worth it though? The One has killer specs and even though I prefer the LG3, the price blows it out of the water but with 4k screens coming etc, is it maybe worth it to stick with my Optimus G and wait until next year for some new releases?
I hope someone can help me make my decission.
Thanks guys!
Only you can make this decision, take time to read and research and form this opinion on your own as other do not know what you desire, as a similar thread already exists http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179 - and as XDA is not a support site, this thread is closed.

If any one has a experia x1 for sale £400 or less let me know i have found a few of then the cheapest i could find is £395 so anything less than than or around it im open too. Also i have a few questions about this phone; does it have themes? and is it better than the t-mobile G1, thanks ...
You can't really ask if one phone is better than another, its a matter of opinion (and what needs you have for the phone.) The two phone you are asking us to compare don't even have the same operating system.
hmmm...
OK well then if they dont have the same operating system which one is better in terms of internet speed and connectivity and stuff....?
even thats a moot point because for instance the n=nokia n95 and the htc tytn 2 have bluetooth 2.0 meaning they work at the same speed now if you need to know internet speeds i suggest looking up the phones you would like to comapre using gsm arena.com and seeing which has the better conections
so if you look at the HTC G1 specs
and then the Xperia x1 specs youll see they both have HSDPA up to 7.2 mbps
but then this means you have to make note of which of the cariers in you area ca do the fastest speed for instance were i live i can only get a weak o2 2g signal but a HSDPA signal from orange
I have both for sale in perfect condition.

ooo lots of information
To jayjay8585 - thanks that helps alot because i wernt sure whether to go on orange or O2 to get this phone because instead of buying it unlocked i might just get a new contract instead so this helps me alot for the purposes of my decision can i ask in what area you live because if its far from my area your information might not be as much help.
To kevinrirvine - thats about £379 which is the best price so far so thats good and i want the phone in black so that is also good but i might be getting a new contract as i said before but that is not for definite so im intrested in the phone i will email you and update you thanks. btw what about postage and packaging?
thanks omg the websites helped so much because they had the same information comparison and i have come to the conclusion that the xperia is better in general so thanks that helped soooo much
I won't know this until i know your location etc?

Postage and packaging I cannot give you a clear idea of until I know your are serious and sincere about this, sounds like you are undecided, and I also need to know your location to get accurate shipping and handling charges. I will only charge you what fed ex or ups charges me rest assured. Please remember this is unlocked so no contract is necessary which is A BIG PLUS I BELIEVE. PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY NOT XDA IF YOU ARE TRULY SERIOUS AND I AM SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. TAKE CARE, KEVIN
here's the situation...
o ok i understand it should be about two weeks at the most till i have decided what i am definitely doing because i have a LG Viewty at the moment and it has been sent for repair so if they give me a new Viewty i will sell it and buy the phone off you if they manage to fix it and return it to me i will have to end my contract i have now and buy the x1 brand new from o2 or orange. so thats the situation and i will email you asap, thanks
Im still open to better offers for the x1!!!!!!!
if anyone can beat $550=£379 let me know i doubt you can beat that its a good price for an amazing phone but if you think you can let me know....

I feel like you are undecided and still even after my unheard of offer trying to find a lower price. I don't have time for this game playing AND SINCE YOUR NEW TO XDA YOU SHOULD NEVER START A THREAD SAYING I WANT TO BUY THIS NOW AND THEN TELL ME OR ANYONE OH BY THE WAY IT WILL BE 2 MORE WEEKS AND THEN I STILL MIGHT NOT BUY FROM YOU. THINK ABOUT IT FROM MY END IT IS NOT FAIR. PLEASE KINDLY LET ME KNOW 100% BY TONIGHT YES OR NO TO THE DEAL FOR I COULD EASILY SELL FOR $600-700USD YET AM TRYING TO HELP A FELLOW XDA'ER OUT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. REGARDS, KEVIN

Ok guys, here it is:
Contemplating buying a used Verizon version Xoom 32GB in good condition (no scratches) with wireless bluetooth keyboard and cover/case for it for $350. What do you guys think about this deal? I think it's pretty good considering the prices they go for used on eBay and Amazon Marketplace. I need some advice...and soon. I'm supposed to meet this guy in an hour and a half.
NOTE: I'm aware this does not belong in the DEV section and will delete it as soon as I get some input. I'm literally supposed to pick this thing up in an hour and I'm on the fence about getting it...also, I got no views on my post on the Q&A thread. Please help guys and excuse the post in the wrong section.
hmmmm
Asking this in a forum full of Xoom owners the answer is obvious..
Buy it root it love it!
.
Thanks for the reply...I'm not questioning the quality of the Xoom. I'm just interested in whether I am getting a good price considering it's used.
I'd definitely say it's a good deal. You're getting the 3g xoom, bluetooth keyboard and case for less than the price of the xoom new. Would jump on that!

ONLY buy on the condition you immediately flash the latest Tiamat rom But this thread will be moved in about 30 seconds is my guess
Hi, over the past few weeks I've been debating and debating whether to sell my iPhone or not, from constant scratches, to unsupported accessories, to out of sync flash, to sh*t maps... the list goes on!
So I took the plunge today and finally sold it on eBay, making myself the money I paid for it!
The question is, where do I go from here?
I've been looking at these phones in particular
Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, HTC One X plus, HTC 8X and Nokia 920
Now I know you might say that it's all down to personal experience, but what phone would you guys prefer? I don't mind waiting a few weeks (3 max).
I use a HTC Mozart as a 'backup' phone which is very bad in my opinion, so that steers me away from Windows 8!
The reason I'm not buying GS3 straight away is due to the fact I really like getting updates ASAP and I understand the JB update isn't available yet.
Please post your opinions !

Hello,
I've had my fun with the old Blade, then G300, then Desire S, then Desire HD and last January I purchased a One X+ from Vodafone.
Unfortunately this last purchase was of poor planning. Within weeks of buying this "latest" phone HTC decided the phone was old hat and out comes the M7 (One). I was really miffed about this, Vodafone dropped the phone from their sales within weeks of launching it too. Bit shi**y of HTC if you ask me but that's life I guess and the world of mobile manufacturers.
The phone is unlocked and rooted and there is a limited amount of dev work going on for this phone on xda (those few do a great job), but the phone has pretty much come to the end. Sense 5 has filtered out for the phone slowly, but I can't see HTC supporting it any longer. I really expected to enjoy this phone more than a few months!!!
I might sell it, it seems the resale value is still pretty good and I could easily purchase a Nexus 4 or other dev friendly phone and still have some change left over.
That being said, can anyone recommend a phone for £100 or under, decent size screen, decent specs and above all is dev friendly (plenty roms, active community, easily unlocked/rooted)?
I'm in the UK and use the GiffGaff/O2 network, so it would need to be unlocked/network free. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was unsure where else to ask.
Thanks.
Have a look at the xperia m just got one and very happy with it good specs for the price, mine came in at 200 euro off contract.

Hi. My friend asked me for an advice for his next phone, since his HTC Evo 3D just broke. He would like a good (possibly Android) phone, but he cannot spend more then 250-300€ (let's say about 300$)... Keep in mind that I'm talking about unlocked phones only. I don't know which phones are both pretty good and such inexpensive. Any ideas? Thank you.

Moto G - $179, Nexus 5 - $350. I'd pay the extra $s and go for the N5 but the moto g is a very nice phone. Huge upgrade from the Evo.
