Long story short: broke my Sidekick, need a new phone.
the only phones I'm interested in is another Sidekick ($380), or a mytouch 4g slide (at least $500). problem is, even though my contract has run only a few months, it's actually cheaper to pay the cancellation fee (max $200) and switch to another provider than to buy a new phone unsubsidized, which afaik, is all t-mobile will allow. (kind of a screwed up business model, huh?)
so since its almost black friday in 6 hours or so,, does anyone know of a good sale on either Mytouch 4g slide, or even the Sidekick?
May want to check t mobiles website. You can always buy a refurbished phone as well.

You would probably be better off buying the phone off ebay or Amazon, because they're a lot cheaper than buying them from TMobile

Cool story.
Just buy a Droid RAZR with Verizon off Amazon, 1 cent.
Should always pay the insurance fee....the 100 or so deductible is better than 500 to replace a phone....
Tmo commercials said something about black Friday deals on smartphones, check it out

I got mine on Craigslist back in October for $325, new. Check there?
thanks for the suggestions guys, but the only good deal I found at all was for the Samsung Transform Ultra, on Boost Mobile. so I went for that, I think I'll be pretty happy to finally have real stock android rather than a Sense/Touchwiz infection.
I did look for deals on tmobile phones, but they were all for new contracts and upgrades ONLY. I even got on the customer service line twice and explained to them that 1. I could not keep using the broken phone, and 2. the ONLY adequate replacements are twice the cost of cancelling; they did not seem to have a contingency for this. oh well, their loss. my new phone, of course, will have a protection plan, but still, Tmobile really should rethink their replacement system.

It's called $7 insurance, i have it i have replaced 5 G2's, 2 MyTouch 4G, and MyTouch 4G Slide is what im on now courtesy of them cancelling the G2, then they replaced it with a MyTouch 4G, then the MT4GS
I guess im treated well, maybe its luck, but im sorry you couldn't get a good deal on a phone. Enjoy your Samsung

Just sell your cell phone contract to a third party.
well now that i'm on Boost, I've been noticing that If I started a new contract with Tmobile under the current black friday weekend deals, I could get this or several other phones free and then actually recoup some of the money I just spent, provided I return the Boost phone I just bought. so:
in general, how good is this phone? I noticed it seemed smooth and lagless in store, but of course that's just a store model without a bunch of additional apps from the market. I'm mostly wondering if Sense causes problems at all regarding compatibility with any apps, or stability problems that wouldn't be expected to happen on a stock 2.3 rom. I have a stock 2.3 phone now, so that could be a risky change; however, this phone I have is only $230 new, single core, and is known for a screen sensitivity problem that may get worse on my handset, but may not.
also, could I expect any problems or side effects from rooting? one of my goals in that, if I get the MT4GS, will be to quickly turn the "genius" button into a search button. that cause problems for anyone? I did the same thing on the Sidekick, and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. but it may have just been that particular phone.

Thanks for the Best Buy tip. I was hoping that they'd do that again this year. I'll probably get the S5 when it rolls out and I was thinking about the smart watch 2. I realize that the bootloaders will be locked down, but I'm sure that folks here can get us root (always have before), and that's what I usually just end up doing anyway......haven't really messed with roms much since my Captivate.
My last day with the S4, My LG G2, comes in tomorrow, 350$ for a brand new G2, I call it a steal. It'll have pretty much the same internals as the S5 as far as I can tell, Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, etc, The only place where I see the S5 perhaps having a better spec is if it has 3GB, of RAM, but That's something I can live with for a 500$ savings on My end. The KnockON feature on the G2 Seems killer. Seems like the phone I Should've gotten all along. The lag with the S4 is a pain in the butt.

I've gotten the moto x. Probably one of the best phones I've ever owned. Don't look at it as a downgrade and you can pick these phones up for a steal. In real life situations this has got to be the perfect phone. When you see something quick and want to snap a picture with wrist twist you can open up your camera and snap a picture without having to turn on the phone all in 2 seconds. Active notifications shows who texted you or emails, etc plus the time. Touch less control works well when your driving and have to call or text someone without taking your eye off the road plus a bonus active assist that will also read your text messages to you while your driving. Not much bloatware bogging down this device with stock android. I chose this over the nexus 5.
MOTO X Slapped
I don't personally own a moto X, but my company uses them (I ordered and set them up) and I'm inclined to agree with you. The moto X, regardless of its specs, is one of the best phones out there. It's fast, has a beautiful screen, great battery life and great build quality. Though there are a few little quirks that aren't that big a deal, but that little phone is comparable to my S4 or Note 2 (both running cm11) in overall usability

Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

This is really a shame because I love my Note 7. If it is recalled again I'm thinking of the HTC 10, since my previous phone was the HTC M8 and I loved it. I would miss the s-pen ALOT, along with all the Note 7's other great features. For now I will take my chances on the replacement and hope all works out.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

They would but only if it was purchased through Sprint. Mine was purchased through Best Buy and Best Buy wouldn't help me at all since I was outside the 14 day return window for my "safe version 2" Note 7. Really Sprint shouldn't have let me swap out the phone but I found a manager at one of my local Sprint stores who was cool and he didn't stress where I purchased it so I lucked out.

I've got 4 days until my 14 return window with best buy is over and I'm not sure what I want to do. I love this device and downgrading to a 7 edge would be something I do not want to do, and there's really no other device that sprint has that I want right now. I guess if forced I'd go to an htc 10 simply because it's got root already and decent developer support, but I'd still be upset with having to give my note up, I love it.
The note 7 is dead. If there is a recall, I highly doubt we'll be getting another Note 7...

The s7 edge is only a "downgrade" if your set on having the S-Pen. I loved having the pen to create goofy pictures now and then but it's not a big deal. All the specs are the same with better battery life on the edge. I liked the idea of the Iris scanner but never really used it. Really the only thing I miss is the newer version of Always on display but I'm sure the edge will get it shortly.

It's only got gorilla glass 4 and and half the storage capacity, it is a downgrade, and one I definitely don't want. If I wanted a 7 edge, I'd have had one months ago. Now I'm forced to make a choice I really don't want to make. I really hope they don't scrap the note 7 entirely

This is my first Note, coming from the S6 and I am totally disappointed with all the negative media. I had no problems with the first and none, so far, with the replaced Note 7. There is no other phone that I want right now, so if forced, I'll get a refund and go back to my S6 and wait on the S8... I still have my Nexus 6P on Google Fi.

It may sound crazy, but I haven't used my "upgrade" from Sprint for years. I usually by the phone outright from someone else, which was the case the with first one. That way, I'm not stuck. I usually use PayPal Credit, so no large upfront money put out.

Anyone else do a preorder for the LGv20? I ordered one through Avant and noticed the one other person who preordered was also coming from a note 7.
I'll be picking my unit up October 31. Fortunately within the refund window of my note 7
I'm thinking of preordering one. I hear the dual sim version that we will get also has fm radio enabled. Not to mention the free extra batt and 200sd card. Does the B&O headphone come with it?
According to the sales person I talked to, it comes with both the free battery and b and o headphones. Wasn't able to ask about the FM radio. Avant in greenbelt has a display unit that you can play with so you can go check that out. I don't know if other branches will have display units...I only went and preordered in avant. No LG store in Makati..
Update. I went back to the store I ordered the unit from and talked w the sales person there. Seems LG Philippines didn't think they would need that many sd cards that they bundled with the pre order. All preorders from last Saturday onwards will have the sdcards to follow because they didn't order enough.
Heard the avant Makati branch has around 35 pre ordered units while the mega mall preorders reached more than a thousand already. No idea about other pre order stores.
Does Avant Makati have enough SDs? I am planning to preorder on the 28th.

I know. Why a Monday? Should have done it on a Saturday. But at least it's a holiday.
Even their pre orders started on a weekday...
I can't wait.. Lol
I'm going to miss my note 7 though...
Most of the v20 sales came from ex note 7 users. So Samsung really dropped the ball here. Funny how they asked what was our old unit when we did the pre order. Did they always use to do that? Or just now? To see if the note buyers move to them?
I already purchased a clear ringke fusion while waiting for it. Im also planning on getting a dbrand skin. Just not sure what color to get atm.

How are the included earphones? They are b&o but they dont look like h3s as far as I can tell.
Are you using dual sims? Do they both get lte or do you need to set up which one thatll use it?

Yes, both sim supports LTE, but not at the same time, the B&O IEM are not the H3, they are much cheaper than the H3, and much rounder, probably give you a better fit, cound be made by LG with B&O logo, could be wrong, but the built quality is considered good.
I just got mine today from cmk. It came this morning and was supposed to come on the 31st but they allowed me to pick it up today. They didn't predict so many pre orders so I have to get the 200gb SD card a week from now. It comes with an extra battery and headphones but no extra battery cradle. For those who have it, does the light breed on the upper left? Other than that it's perfect!
Get 'em while they're hot.

Giving the PH-1 another shot, as my HTC U11 is starting to have all sorts of issues. Had the PH-1 pre-ordered and received the first batch last summer, but had issues with it. A lot of light bleed on the screen and awful touch responsivness were the main problems.
Couldn't pass up on this deal, especially the Halo Grey version with its matte backing. I know Essential has come a long way since last summer/early fall, so I'm excited about it. I came very close to buying it last week for over $500 on Amazon.
Now to do research on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
For UK users buying from Amazon .com that has to be deal of the century

Are these still bad with T-Mobile?
I just ordered one myself. I'm on the ZTE Axon 7 and really don't need a phone until it blows up but that deal is too good to pass up. Now I'm just mentally trying to justify it vs. waiting for the next generation stuff.
I guess I get bumped up from a Snapdragon 820 to 835, bluetooth 4.2 to 5, Android P developer previews, and a bunch of other people probably bought one today as well.

T-Mobile issues
I just ordered one of these for $250, because why not at that price.
Does anyone have any links to read about the issues with T-Mobile ? I read briefly that there is some configuration fix or did this come with one of the updates?
Ordered here in UK this is too good to pass great deal.
Just ordered one as well. What is a good provider to use this on in New England? Right now I have Google Fi. I know this isn't one of the "compatible" devices, but it *should* work on some gsm bands with it until I find a better company to use.
Just ordered one as an upgrade from my T-Mo G6. The G6 is starting to have Bleed issues on the display and the 32GB is just not cutting it for me. I'm really nervous from some of the posts I've read. This phone seems to be really polarizing with some loving and some hating. Here goes nothing!
yeap I was looking two weeks ago at swappa... and I almost but one on a good condition and change my mind.... now I wake up today booom!!! i got it on Halo Gray.... well hello everyone i will try to be a regular here
Just bought this = Halo Gray.
Q1. Does the Gcmod5 camera work well on the PH-1? Actually, does any replacement camera app outperform the stock camera app?
Q2. I got the 360 camera attachment. Is it a keeper or return?
Q3. How is the mono speaker?
Q4. Will this phone get additional Android updates?
My current device is the HTC U11+. It runs well, great battery, screen, color, sound. However, this Essential deal is too good to pass up. I have missed stock Android, security updates and this PH-1 hardware is beautiful.
I have also ordered the PH-1, got it in Halo Grey (best color for me) , I hope it will runs like a charm.
Btw, I saw someone asking about GCam, I'm also curious if there any apk available or a mod

Just ordered one....looking to upgrade from my trusty old Nexus 6p
Grabbed one... Been looking for a deal on a decent compact phone and couldn't pass this up! I actually ordered a Moto X4 on Sunday and will likely be sending it back as I think the Essential Phone will trump the Moto X4

Android updates are fats,very fast you get monthly security updates same day as Google phones,the Google cam mode works ,I was using both camera apps ,but since release the camera app from essential has been updated many times improving and adding new features
360 cam is very good and the tiny planet feature of the app means you can do some cool.stuff with it .
Honestly you won't be disappointed,it is a gorgeous phone and feels great in hand ,moon black is a bit slippy so I put a Matt black dbrand on mine
