Can I buy the phone`s hardware?

Hello everybody,
I have a question that bugs me quite a bit now.
Saw the real hardware prices of the Nexus one and the iPhones,that costs 174-218$,
and I thought maybe I could buy the hardware and put it all together by myself.
Is it possible in any way to do such a thing?
I really can`t see why should I pay 600$~ for a phone that costs 1/3 of it.
Thanks.

lol...
You can check on ebay if anyone is parting out the nexus one but considering People can at MAX buy 5 of them thats at 530$ and then lil profit you will be paying more specially this early in game. Maybe later when phone is more common and people are selling broken ones you may be able to do this but its kinda early for that.

Who is picking up a MT4G tomorrow?

I will be at a T-Mobile store tomorrow morning to pick up this phone. Sold my Vibrant on Ebay Sunday, GF did the same. She will go pick hers up after work tomorrow. Pretty excited about the phone, not because I think it's leaps and bounds ahead of the competition but gives me the features I wanted that the Vibrant did not have, ffc (I know you can install one but they are still working out issues and I like native support), led notification, flash, and hopefully it doesnt pick up the exhaust noise of my car so i can actually talk in my car. Ive been using my backup, a sony ericsson K810i for the last couple days and wow, i cant believe I had this phone for 1.5 years, Im on day 3 and am going crazy!

Haha.. I'm still on the G2 but I'm exchanging it for the Mt4g tomorrow as well.. what I'm trying to decide on is red or black?????
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

Red FTW!!! I am currently using my daughters mt3g cause my HD2 took a dump it was mine for 8 months when it first came out (I'm dying on this small of a screen. It's like moving into a studio apartment from a mansion). I had the G2 for 2 weeks but didn't like how thick it was. I'm really excited about this phone. Love the actual buttons on the front, and the ded cam button is a huge plus over my HD2. I will be picking this up in the morning.

I'll be picking one up as well. I returned my vibrant last week in anticipation for it. I'm going to call later today and see if they can sell it early like the G2.

I will be waiting for more user reviews before getting it, like you guys! Also need to play around with it in store. It's gonna be tough for me since I really don't want to part ways with the awesome display on the Vibrant, but since I plan to develop some apps, I gotta get a phone that has almost all the features.
Btw, how much did you guys sell your Vibrant for? Around $300?

Go pick up your Mytouch 4g!
You guys can now go to your local t-mobile store to pickup your mytouch 4g, share your first impressions and un-boxing experience

Did stores get the 'OK' to sell early?

I will never get a phone on launch day again after i did with the Vibrant. I will wait at least 2 weeks to study user reviews and possible price drops. Maybe I'll be able to hold out til black Friday. There's sure to be some great deal by then. Maybe BOGO?

The couple stores i called said they arent selling until tomorrow

Just called a couple tmobile stores and they arent selling them early, but yeah im deciding between red and black and my gf is deciding between plum and black. Im also going to see what sort of price costco gets when they get their inventory, i picked up my vibrant for 250 with no contract from them when it first came out.

+1 ya youbetcha

My local store said no when asked about buying today too.

Just called like 6 stores, none of them were selling it. Great topic man.

I'll be at my local T-Mobile store around 10am to pick it up. Definitely going for the red one.

Torn between phones
So I called tmobile today.. and they told me I could swap my G2 for the MT4G. I Love my G2 but I want a FFC...but.. I'm not sold on the development of this phone. The G2 has tons of recognized developers working on it and I'm havnt seen any of the developers I fallow on twitter even mention the MT4G.. what do you guys think? I'm thinking about getting the white one too what do you guys think? I bought my G2 for $100 so I'm getting this phone for dirt cheap.

how
how can you swap your G2 for it? Are u inside the remorse period?
I'd say do it if you don't need the keyboard and unless you are like a huge texter, who needs a keyboard?

Obviously if you want the newest updates, more roms, etc, keep the G2. If you like a physical keyboard, keep the G2. I doubt the mt4g will have as much developers as the G2.
For me, the front facing camera is just a novelty. I'm pretty sure it's one of those things where you play around with for a few days at most and never touch again, unless you have a specific reason to need a fcc.
The mt4g aesthetics aren't appealing to me as much as the unibody design with the G2. I am sure the mt4g will have some people working on it if you really want the fcc that much, but for now the G2 seems to be like the better phone, unless you really need the fcc. Then again I never really looked at the specs of the mt4g, but I have not heard that much amazing things about it unlike the G2.
This is just my opinion, I would just go with whichever phone you think suits you better.

mytouch 4g
i just sold my vibrant for 260.00 and i ordered my mt4g today early.

Going to get one tomorrow and keep at least through the remorse period.
If not happy with what I can do with temp root and installing apps, will probably let it go back. After using completely open nexas one, don't know how much I can accept being locked down again.
Also, if the other new features (besides front camera) get old, may decide to stay with the nexus anyway. It gets 3-4 mb/second download on local network, so extra speed has only small utility (as opposed to loosing hot spot tether, etc.) and having to reload everything on each reboot.

Forced to sell :\

Hi guys.
So on friday my car broke down, and is going to need almost £500 worth of work doing to get it up and running again. That, coupled with my daughter's first Christmas coming up, means I'm going to have to sell my Galaxy S. I put her on ebay last night .
I've only had it about 2 months, and it's easily the best phone I've ever had. Gutted to be going back to my crappy iPhone 3G again.
Just wanted to thank-you guys for all the info etc on the site. I found I didn't even need to post many of my own questions as they'd all been answered before.
Thanks again, hopefully il get myself another Android phone sooner rather than later.

Why don't you sell the iCrap?

At the end of the day, you have a kid and I assume you have a wife. So that means you are an adult and there are things that matter more than a cell phone and its features. So like my grandfather always said, "be happy with what you have and be thankful".
On a side note though. If you really want another android phone get on Craigs List and place an ad. Put your IPhone on there FOR TRADE. List the phones you would be interested in trading for mainly and then put, "open to other phone trades, let me know what you have". You should have no problem trading that phone for an HD2, Nexus One or something like that. There are a lot of people out there that hate the IPhone (that will change when these people an get one through their own carriers) but there are still a lot of people that want them also. I've seen hundreds of ads on Craigs List where people are wanting to trade an Android phone for an IPhone. If nothing else, I've sold all of my 3G 8gb IPhones for $250 each without a problem and never took longer than 2 days to sell them on there. $250 is more than enough to get you just about anything Android USED. People get upgrades and then sell the phones without even using them a lot of the time.

Yup, definitely more important things than a phone, hence me selling it. I'd rather be able to fix my car and still give my daughter an awesome first Christmas, which is why there was no real decision to be made. Doesn't mean I'm not sad to have to get rid of my favourite gadget though.
The only real point of this thread was to thank you guys for the work you put in and the help you gave me.
I can't sell the ****ty iPhone cos its pretty screwed up and has a cracked screen - worth very little to anyone.
My Fiance's upgrade is due in March...got my eye on a shiny new android device then if she isn't too fussed .

Should I still buy the OPO?

Hi!
Well, I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 as a gift and as much as I appreciate it, I'm not a fan of the Samsung brand because of their build quality (it improved in those 2014-end devices but I'm talking about the GS4). The GS4 is being sold by the main stores at 399€ so I'm planning to sell it for 320€/350€, buy the OnePlus One and even buy a case/skin for it.
Well, trading the GS4 for the OPO is a no brainer but I am thinking in selling the GS4, get the money and save it to spend it later on a better 2015 phone.
What should I do? Should I buy the OPO, should I buy another device or should I wait? I would buy the OPO without a doubt if it was some months before but after hearing all the confusion between OnePlus and Cyanogen, CM12s being promised to around this date and still being unreleased... Should I wait for a possible "OnePlus Two"? Should I buy a Nexus device? (I currently own a Galaxy Nexus)
I need some advice

You won't get $350 for your s4, check swappa.com for me easy place to sell and to get a realistic idea of what you'll get for yours. I've had a lot of phones and the 1+1 is far and away my favorite. Dev community is excellent, hardware is top notch, great speakers, beautiful screen, awesome battery life, it's really does everything perfectly. How long do you typically keep your devices, though? If you want to keep your next phone for more than a year, I'd say to wait and see what 2015 flagships bring.

Without a doubt if your interested, buy the phone! I've recently bought a Nexus 6 and the OPO is still one of my favorite phones of all time even compared to the Nexus 6!

Nah man, I can sell it for 350/320€ without a problem. Here in Portugal mobile contracts are rare, 95% of the population buys the phones carrier locked (which means we can only use that carrier's SIM cards in our phones) and the devices are expensive. GS4 is being sold at 399€ new in the big carriers so I can sure sell it for less 50 or 80 euros.
I have my Galaxy Nexus for almost 3 years and I don't change my devices often, maybe 3 to 4 years. I also can't spend over 500€ on a device so I don't have wallet for a HTC or a LG or a high end Samsung (even though they aren't the best price/quality choices, I'm just stating xd).
I would be sad if I bought the OnePlus One today and June or July comes and "OnePlus Two" comes at the same price, with better specs and the CM12s. But I don't also want to wait until OnePlus decides do reveal or not a new device. That's why I'm asking here, to know the thoughts of the ones who bought the OPO since they sure are better informed than me.

Definitely get it. I had motorola, samsung, nexus etc I even had the LG G3 before coming to the 1+. I love it, hands down the best phone I have owned and I wouldn't get rid of it till it is properly dead.

I wouldn't be sad, theres always going to be the 'next' follow up phone, even if you buy the 'newest' it doesnt take long for a successor to come along or at least the rumours. With the Oneplus One you are still getting great value for money, stable CM11S, CM12S due shortly (definitely), along with OxygenOS and lot of other custom ROMs to pick from. Not to mention the obvious like nexus-easy bootloader unlock and root.
You can also now get a OPO relatively easy, plenty of invites knocking about or just purchase directly every Tuesday. I imagine its going to be pretty hard to get hold of an invite for the Oneplus Two when its released, as I'm guessing it will be invite only for the first while, so factor that into your thoughts around waiting time/availabilty.
I've had the Galaxy S4, HTC One M8 and Nexus 5 all within the last 5 months and overall the OPO is better than them all. Theres no added bloat, no difficulty/warranty issues unlocking the bootloader, solid stock CM and as many custom ROMs as you like and the battery life is fantastic. In terms of the nexus 5, its basically a nexus 6 for those who were underwhelmed by the nexus 6, in terms of large (without being too large) screen, great battery life (non 2k screen), decent camera and very reasonable price.

How to spot the fake??

Looking at buying a second version of my phoen for messing around on, can even be scratched up, i dont care for that purpose lol.
But ive heard alot recently about fake samsung products, and i want to be sure that the used phone i buy is another legit samsung product - in order to be sure any rom i try with the second one, ifi like it alot, will also work the same on my legit/main phone.... but how do you spot the fake, online??
Im looking at this one right now... but can i count on it being real?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SAMSUNG-SGH-...201?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4193d0aac9
I dont want to spend alot on it since its only a secondary... which is why i dont want to buy another of the one i did buy. and that was also a year ago and the seller/item is probably gone. the seller has 99% positive feedback,
*or* can anyone recommend somewhere else to buy one at a good rate for a not-perfect-looking but still works version of this phone??

They only make fakes/clones of high-end flagship models. You can be assured that this 4.5 year old phone from a seller with 99.1% positive feedback over 50000+ transactions is genuine.
