Cheap Touch PRO/Raphael/TyTn III?

Anyone know the cheapest site for this phone? I want the unbranded one. All i find is 600+ which is ridiculous. i dont mind if it is used or new and ebay just hasnt been yielding that many unlocked unbranded ones. if you have one and are willing to sell to me, maybe we can work something out securely over ebay on private auction. i know this phone is only out for 2 months but hey, some people just dont like it. i am willing to trade a touch diamond unlocked unbraded + some cash and accessories for one.
Most places I have seen are about $600+. I got my Fuze for about $300 with upgrade on AT&T. That way it can support 3G. Remember not to buy the CDMA as it does not have a sim card. What provider are you with? It may be cheaper to buy a branded one from your provider.
Sorry buddy. There is no such thing as a cheap high-end device. Get a fuze if you really want it cheap. Sell your diamond for $400. Pay $100 for a fuze. Unbranded touch pros are $600+. You won't find a working model any cheaper.
thats what i kinda thought too. im bound to at&t already and still am under a contract until june and not eligible for upgrade discount until may. i really want to switch to tmobile because of their coverage at work and home is more superior in my area. an upgrade to the fuze would cost the $499 no commitment price.
i love my diamond for everything except the keyboard sucks. feels like my old iphone but way worse to type on because of the small size.
whats the difference between the cdma ones and the gsm ones? is it easier to flash one version than the other?
I'm in England and I bought mine from eBay for £390 - it wasn't brand new but only used for a week so it's as new.
I think (and this is my newbie answer!) that GSM phones (which I have) uses a sim card and CDMA uses............er.............something else?
GSM is generally easier to flash and more roms are created for GSM phones. I would love the diamond actually. I have a fuze and I barely use the hardware keyboard. I just use the compact qwerty on-screen. It's perfecty fine for me. I would've soo went for the diamond if it had removable storage. 4gb is just not enough for me. I meant go for the Touch HD, but I want 3g =/ and The touch HD looks promising, but not without a d-pad.

[Q] Shopping unlocked smartphones from Amazon.ca (Canada)

I am going to buy an unlocked phone, perhaps something like S G Note II, haven't decided yet. problem is I don't know where to buy, so far my best choice is Amazon.ca.
I've never bought anything this expensive from Amazon, I'm buying this as a gift for a friend and I like to give it to her in holidays. I am not sure what is Amazon Canada's return policy for unlocked cellphones, is it 30 days? or less? can I even return an unlocked phone since they have no warranty?
I like to hear your experiences about shopping from Amazon.ca, do you trust Amazon.ca for such products?

S6 on eBay?

I'm thinking of buying a Galaxy S6 on eBay to save some money from the T-Mobile pricing. I'd root the phone, fwiw. Is there any reason not to buy a phone from a highly rated seller on eBay? For use in the US, would getting the dual sim version bring potential risks with compatibility of ROMs, including the stock Samsung one?
I see that Amazon has the same international unlocked phones for similar prices. Same situation as those on eBay?
Ultimately, I have no interest in Touch Wiz. I prefer to run a more vanilla Android interface with whatever launcher.
Buy from legit sources. There is a predominance of fake S6 being sold online. Its not worth the few pennies you will save.
Also, beware it is now the 'peak season' for S6 returns. So you're chances of getting a brand new phone are lower. I don't know if the Samsung US site has refurbs but that might be a good choice for a cheap S6. Buying from a carrier has advantages -- easy returns, warranty, etc. If you buy from T-Mobile you opt out of your plan after 2 mos. and they'll unlock the phone in case you didn't know.
Thanks for the input. Sound thinking. I won't go down the needlessly risky road. T-Mobile tells me that they'll unlock the phone after 40 days.

I have an esn question

Hello again. I know there is probably athread on here but I was having problems finding an exact one. Here is my question. i have a sprint Galaxy Note 4 from Sprint and the motherboard has crapped out. I can buy a working motherboard online cheap enough but it has a bad esn. My esn is fine on my phone. Is it possible or legal to put my good esn onto the working board with the bad esn so I can use my phone still? Again the board in the phone I own is bad with a good esn and the one I am looking at is a good powering board with a bad esn. Can I junk the bad esn on the good board and put my good esn on the working board then reinstall and use my phone still? I know laws are a bit vague on some points so i dont want to get banned but is this something that can be done as I own my good esn which I want to use still just need a board that powers and will not beusing the bad esn at all just the boards other parts more or less.Thanks

Used s7 flat for $275 good?

In my country where everything is overpriced (almost double price), I can get a used s7 32gb for us$275. A new one sells for $450.
Jeez it's not international g930f, it's g930w8 (Canadian right). I don't live in Canada. I guess I'll still get 3g & 4g connections working?
Do u think it's quite a good deal?
Any other phone suggestions if u think it's a bad deal pls
