[Q] how much would an iphone 4 (8gb) and ipod touch (32 gb) w/ camera good cond

how much would an iphone 4 (8gb) on AT&T go for , it CAN be unlocked if the buyer wants, and has been in an otterbox since the day of purchase however the box is not included in the sale.
and
ipod touch (32 gb) with camera good condition but not 100% perfect and everything works. it comes with a case and a screen protector that is not applied.
im trying to appraise this for my friend who might ask me to sell it at some point soon for her. she wants to buy an iphone 4, 4s or 5 that is 32 - 64 gb
also i have an old Motorola backflip sim unlocked and rooted/bootloader unlocked...how much do you think that would go for?
thank you for your help guys!

Well
The I4 is probably worth around $300 or a bit less. In general, I4's are going for a bit higher than $300 but those are the 16gb models. An asking price of $300 is fair. Now the Ipod is probably around $200 depending on the scratches and what not. You can probably get a bit more on Ebay but that extra money you make is most likely going to Paypal and shipping anyway's so I would opt for craigslist instead. Hope this gives you an idea. The backflip can go around for maybe $60-$80 maybe a bit more if the buyer is a first time smartphone buyer trying to get in on the action.

Sold my iPod 32 gb 3rd Gen to gamestop for $89 ( credit)
And it wasn't in the beat shape. So I would say that this iPod 4 Gen is in very good condition compared to my 3rd Gen

[Q] 16 Now or 32 Later?

A friend of mine has been having increased issues with her ancient Verizon GNex lately and drunkenly ordered a 16GB black N5 from the Play Store last week. Her contract isn't up until mid-December, but her phone arrived today. My order (32GB black) says it won't be leaving the warehouse until December 3rd. She is afraid she's going to be too tempted to port her number to T-Mobile and risk an ETF with Verizon, so she isn't even opening the box. She is wrapping her phone up and putting it under her Christmas tree until her contract runs out.
She just proposed swapping with me. She said she would pay me the difference if I wanted hers now, and she would just take mine when it arrived.
The impatient side of me is really intrigued by this proposal. I am currently using a 16GB N4. I've never run out of space. I'm in an excellent 4G market, and I stream all of my music. I don't play games. The thing that takes up the most space on my device is podcasts, which can easily be managed better than I manage them now. Plus, I would be able to have an N5 in my hands tonight after work.
On the flip side, $50 is a really low price to pay for double the storage space. This screen is bigger and prettier, so I might be more tempted to throw a movie or two on here (would I?). I do have a 32GB N7 (13) that handles most of my media consumption needs. I mostly ordered the 32GB version out of laziness. Going 32 essentially meant not making a decision. But I do want this thing to be very future-proof (even though I'll probably buy next year's device as well).
Anyway, if you're me, what do you do? I'd especially like to hear from people who already have a 16GB version in their possession. Are you happy with 16? Do you wish you had gotten 32?

I have a 32gb right now, but the only reason was that I was impatient and didn't want to wait for the 16gb to arrive. As of now, with about 100 songs and 10 downloaded apps, I still have 21gb available.
At the time, I also really needed a flash drive since mine just failed, so I thought an extra $50 for a 32gb flash drive wasn't too bad anyway.
The point is, unless you store 10 1080p movies with a bunch of other stuff, you're never going to fill up the 32gb of space. 16gb should be more than enough for normal usage. Actually, I never used the 8gb of space on my N4.

You have a 16gb right now and arent finding yourself wishing you had more. To me that is the answer to your question. If you needed more you would already know it, you wouldnt be 'wondering'. As for futureproofing, you also said you will probably get a new phone in a year.... so thats not really a very long future.
I think you are mostly impatient, and trying to justify jumping on this offer which to me isnt that compelling of a reason. It is more emotional than logical as far as how i personally weigh decisions. I am going to say that my personal decision was no doubt that I wanted 32gb. I have tons of mp3s, large game installs, and I DONT have the ability to use the cloud for everything all the time. So really my personal choice is very different but because we have different situations, it is also completely irrelevant. LOL
It is ironic that patience is the driving force for both of you. hehe, she is afraid she will be tempted to switch her contract even if there is a penalty so that pushes her to NOT want the device now, and you DO want it now based on that same challenge. I definitely think you have less to lose by giving up the space, especially since she is paying the difference. whereas if she caves and switches providers that is a BIG ding in the wallet.
TLDR: if 16gb is enough for your current device, it will be enough for another year. :silly:

32gig for 2 reasons..
1) I agree, $50 cheap for double memory
2) My 32gig said will ship in 3-4 weeks... I got it in 4 days. I mean yours may come way faster than you think

I think the part of me that wants to say no to her is mostly driven by the fact that I don't like my impatience driving a decision, as Tweak properly pointed out. Then there is also the reality that this thing (my order) could very well leave the warehouse well before December, as Tomey points out. My friend's wasn't supposed to ship until November 26 as of yesterday, and it arrived today.

[Q] Is there really a 16GB M8?

The phone information says the M8 comes in 16 and 32GB, but I've never heard about a 16GB variant. Does it exist?
I don't recall what I saw the storage was on Verizon's site. I was still with US Cellular then, and I was seriously considering switching in May on vacation — I was gonna get the LG G2. Best Buy had it for $0.01 with a 2-year contract. Checked out the phone, wasn't feeling it, so I backed down. But I kept looking online after I got back, and the M8 won me over. (My first HTC, too.) All the specs checked out, and I would swear up and down they didn't say what the internal storage was. I assumed 16GB.
So when I go to actually switch, they don't have any One M8's, or any HTC for that matter, out. I told the guy, I'm with US Cellular and I want to switch, I want an HTC One M8. So he goes in the back, and comes out with my new phone. I saw the "32GB" right away but didn't ask. Sure enough, it was the advertised $199.99 with contract. This was in June. The phone wasn't on sale per se, but it had the $100 mail-in rebate.
So I come up here to learn how to root it, and I see it's listed as a 16GB phone with a 32GB option. That's always bugged me, but I never thought to ask until now. So... is XDA wrong, or is there in fact a 16GB model you can get?

Most models are 16 gig. Some carriers like Verizon only sell the 32 gig variant though.

Okay. So XDA is incorrect, since this is the Verizon area, to declare the phone as 16GB (quick facts) and mention the 32GB variant, but the 16GB option exists outside of Verizon.
Personally I think no phone should be sold with less than 32GB at this point. It might cost them a buck or two more but it makes a huge difference.

I just noticed also that the description indicates it's got a 2.5 GHz processor. It doesn't. The Verizon variant is clocked at 2.3GHz. As for memory, I don't know how people scrape by with only 16 gig. I'm not sure how people get by with 32 gig, honestly. I've got 96 gig installed in mine and it's over half full.

This is true too and due to the fact we have an lte based phone.

A quick Google search shows the 16gb version http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Unlocked-International-Version/dp/B00J7RQDDK

Help me find the fastest phone new for under $300 gsm or cdma

Hey all. After about 8 month with the ZTE Boost Max (Iconic) I'm ready for something faster. Dual Core, 1 GB ram just isn't doing for me at all. I'm currently on Boost and my service here is horrible. I moved 2 weeks after buying this phone and was just gonna wait it out til now. So I'm looking for something $300 or less new. Maybe the Zenfone 2 seems to be a beast especially at $199 to $299. I've looked at some new options from ZTE but seem priced pretty high. I prefer a 6 inch phone but no less than 5.5. I'm on a 5.6 inch phone now. So don't really wanna go smaller but bigger is a possibility. I thought the MX4 was cheaper but it seems pricey like flagship phones. I've been out of the phone world the last 4 or 5 months due to a new 50inch tv, ps4, new dell laptop
I've been doing research in google but so many threads refer to the flagship phones and aren't really talking much in terms of price or budget.
Thanks
Josh

My suggestion is to search before posting....there is a thread in place for your topic.

Question about Ram

Hello,
I'm about to buy it. Do you recommend 6, 8 or 12 RAM?
I don't play games.
I need it for streaming, facebook, file video, whatsapp,instagram,email.

How much storage space have you used on your previous phone? The storage space also differs depending on the ram model. For your use since you don't seem like a heavy user, ram may not be very important since 6gb is quite a bit.
If you barely use any storage as well, then the 6gb ram version would be sufficient.
I personally went with the 8gb ram model with 256gb storage.

Also went with 8/256 for my price point, usage, resale, etc.

Don't get 12G of ram unless you have a very specific reason for needing it. I myself went for 8/256 for the storage space, but I would be just as happy with the 6/128

You can't go wrong with more RAM.
I have the 12GB version.
If cost is an issue get the 8GB/256GB version.
I would not buy the 6GB version.

Get 8. I got 12 and I regret it. It's too much. The phone uses MAX 6/6.5 gb. 8 is enough

6gb is more than enough. My note 9 can keep 21 apps/game in the background before start closing them. 8gb if u need 256gb. 12gb ram is just for show. The only device i think it need that much ram is galaxy and note 10 since it has dex and probably dex uses more ram in desktop mode

12GB isn't just for show, it is excess for most people but certainly not a minute amount amount of people and by the time you will be looking to sell it 12-24 months from now, 12gb will be what others will be looking for. So 12gb will seriously help your resale value and for a mere $50 more, it's a no-brainer.

12gb does not help resale value. This phone in 12 to 24 will probably be $400-300. Doesnt matter what version u have. Now if u try to resale it higher price because u have the 12gb version. People will turn around and buy a cheaper 8gb version. 8gb will still be good for the next 2 to 3 years. 6gb now and day is more than enough. Storage is more important than ram at this point. If u already have 6 or 8gb.

I have 6/128 version, and i"m happy with it.
12GB - is marketing turn, you don't need such a lot of RAM anyway, so look in your needs for storage, if 128GB will be enough, you can buy 6/128.

Are you kidding? I bought my op5 8gb/128gb for $529 new on launch day. Sold it on swappa for $475 after buying the op6 8/128 ($579) just 12 months later. Then bought the 7pro on launch day and 4 days after that sold the op6 on swappa for $490. OP phones have very good resale value after 12 months.
8gb for the next 2-3 years? They said 6gb would be good for 3 or 4 years Anna 4gb is all that's needed. A year later you can already fill 6.5-7gb of ram. The point is if there are phones out there with 12gb apps will be written to start to utilize it.
Gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. Ram utilization is stupid easy to be written into apps.

I've got the 6gb i thought of myself as a heavy user but it seems that I'm not. 6 is more than enough for me.
I'm coming from 4gb on the s8 and i can't feel the difference.

Loll. Keep believing u need 12gb of ram. Only because oneplus has the option of ram boost enable?... Well let see. My phone right now had 49 apps apps in memory and 5gb use out of 8gb..... 6g and 8gb oneplus will perform exactly the same... U will have to open 25 to 30 apps to see the 8gb take avantage. Noone do that in real world usage.
4gb ram:for average users
6gb ram:for heavy users
8gb ram: if u need 256gb only option
12gb ram: to tell their friend that the phone has 12gb ram.
Dont believe ur swappa story seeing that a 6t is already at $335 (8gb version) 8 month. And oneplus 7 pro is already at $570 (8gb, 256gb) in just 3 months. Down from $700. Plus fee and paypal fee to selll a device on swappa.
And lets not go into free market like facebook and offerup which u can find it for much cheaper.

You don't have to believe me you can go back and look at the history of the sales. It's there. Believe what you will, I'm not trying to convince you of anything just tell you what I got for mine and what they were going for. Man, there is always someone that just don't believe something and makes a mountain out of a mole hill. just combats what anyone says. If you cant afford the $50 to buy the 12gb over the 8gb then don't but your argument was the same thing people made about 8gb 18 months ago with the OP5 8gb. Now most flagships have 8gb. ROFL and never said anyone NEEDED 12gb. Learn to read instead of interjecting.
Also, you can always find phones cheaper then swappa but there is a reason you buy on swappa, low risk of getting a phone that is locked down from people owing money on them that you would have pay before you can use. Oh and the fees for selling my phones usually run about $25 or less.
Edit... I just took a peek and a mint 8gb OP6 on Swappa are still going for $400 and that's only the 128gb one, not the 256gb one which had been selling on average for about $50 more then the 128gb model, 3 Months after the 7 pro launched. After the first month a new phone is out it usually reduces a bit. The AVERAGE sold price of the OP6 256gb was $450ish a month before the OP 7 Pro launched

Keep dreaming lol on ur 8gb is need it. 8gb is not needed and nope. Most flagship in the USA dont have 8gb. Pixel 3 has 4gb. Pixel 4 will have 6gb. Lg phones has 8gb, iphones 4gb. Only samsung is pushing their 8gb and 12gb mostly because of their ui and DEX CAPABILITY. Oneplus is an oversee comoany working to get the market to US and only exclusive to tmobile.
Chinese market buy base in spec reason why samsung has been releasing phone with higher ram capability exclusive to chinese market in the past and why all those over see brand care about spec and full screen display so much...thats what sells.
I have a pixel 2xl 4gb and can still have open 12apps in the background what more u need.
If it make u happy 8gb ram. Having 5 different game in the background which u NEED to play at the same time. Plus 15 apps in the background to proof 8gb is needed go ahead. Lmao
The point is if someone has a 8gb or 6gb version of 7 pro they will not notice a different in multitasking . If it is a person like u trying to proof someone u do of course will max out the ram running 5 games and 15 apps then tell everyone "see. 8gb is needed".
Stop ur bs 6gb will be good for all 2019 2020. 8gb is just a bonus. 12gb even for $50 is just for show.
