I have around $600 to spend on a new phone.
I have T-Mobile and had the past Android phones.
Nexus One, G2, G2x and Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-mobile version)
I just sold my SGS2 for quite a high price and I am wondering what phone should I purchase next? Purchase another SGS2 for around $480 and make a substantial profit or purchase another phone that will cause me to have no profits such as the Galaxy Nexus? Is it worth it? My 2 year contract ends on April so I am planning on selling my next phone to purchase another one in a few months and make another profit.
tl;dr
sold phone
what should should I buy next?
So I have an S10+ trade in which is $600 and a $150 credit promo, what if: When I received the Note 10+ and won't send my phone, whill they just charged me $600 (+ the remaining balance) on my account?
Planning to sell my ceramic S10+ 512fb for more than $600.
Thanks

Yes. They will even send you an email that says if you change your mind about the trade-in to just keep it and they will bill you $600.
My suggestion: buy a base model S10+ for $400-$500 and trade it in. Then sell your ceramic S10+ for whatever you can. Just make sure you buy and trade in a S10 PLUS if that's what you promised you would trade in.
That's what I did. I had a 512GB Note 9. I sold it for $600. Used that money to buy a 128GB Note 9 for $400. Now I'm trading in the cheaper Note 9 for $600 to Samsung. That's a $400 profit. Paired with my $200 gift card from Samsung for reserving and preordering the Note 10+, I'm basically getting a free N10+
Are we going to see some type of pre order promo?
I ordered 2 phones..... but havent seen any mention of a pre order promo.

I just preordered 2 through AT&T and I am wondering the same thing. The only thing AT&T told me was they were waiving the activation, which I alreadyget through their signature program discount through my employer. So not much of a promo there for me.
I ordered direct from Sammy and received at $150 freebie accessory purchase and then another email with an additional $50 deduct for the pre-registration. Sammy also throws in 6 mos of Spotify and 4 months of YouTube premium.
Same here Gargamel. Ordered At&t at midnight. I saw something about HBO...lol what! Who cares give us something useful

Got this same promo when they opened up ordering.
I ordered from Samsung. Got 550 of my Note 9, 200 dollar credit to be used on the site, 6 months of spotify and 4 months of youtube premium. I find it interesting when I preordered I got 200 dollars, yet they are now giving a 150 dollar credit.
if you use Rakuten app or the plug in for chrome.
you can get 10% cashback but you cant use that extra 50$ credit.
but you still getting 100$ credit for note20 and 150$ ultra note20.
i ordered ultra note20, i'm supposed to get back 67$, that' more than that 50$ credit.
After you pre-ordered, did you get the extra $50 or a little while after? I just pre-ordered 2 phones and got 150 for ultra and 100 for 5g, att USA.

No, it never show there's a 50$ credit.
I read somewhere that you can get the 150 off accessories even if you preorder from a carrier. Not 100% if that's true or not.
Vodafone gives galaxy buds live.
ATT is running a hell of a deal, i have an S9+ and they offered me $1000 for an upgrade on an unlimited plan. I was already signed onto the Unlimited Elite, so upgrading to the Note 20 Ultra for $10 a month for 30 months on the promo pricing was worth it.
Dont know if its for everyone or just those with the old corporate FANs, i still have my old Sears Holdings fan attached to my account. Its like a collector's item these days.

When I pre-registered to pre-order, I got a $50 credit. Then when I pre-ordered I got an additional $150 credit, and I now have $200 credit. Both of those were described in emails from Samsung.
I just saw the AT&T deal. I immediately canceled my Samsung preorder and got it from AT&T. Thats a hell of a trade in deal for my note 9.
Just ordered the big dog 512 gb using the trade in program, getting $550 for my note 9 and also got $200 credit. Total came to less than $1k so I'm pretty happy
Here in the UK, a pre-order will get you a choice of either the new Xbox Game Pass Bundle (3-month membership, MOGA XP5 -X+ controller & wireless charger) with the Galaxy Note20 or Galaxy Note20 Ultra
or
A pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds+ in white (Galaxy Note 20) or the new Galaxy Buds Live (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra)
That's a pretty good offer!
.
Heads up
For those of you taking advantage of the 1,000 off from ATT, there are some things to think about..
You have to pay the device off or use the Next Up plan to be able to upgrade before the 30 month period. If you upgrade without NextUp, you will owe the payments in full, because the credits are only applied on a monthly basis.
If you use Next Up, you cannot use the Note 20 Ultra in another trade in deal. So if they do another 1,000 off next year for the new note, you wont be able to get that, you'll have to use the Next Up and pay the full payment plan of the new phone going forward (somewhere between 40 and 50 bucks per month).
The workaround to this is to buy a different phone second hand that hits the minimum trade in value for ATT. So you would trade in the Note 20 Ultra for the Next Up (this would satisfy the payment plan you are currently on without canceling all the credits, then you would trade in the second hand phone you purchased to get the 1,000 off or whatever the deal ends up being next time around.
Sorry if this seemed obvious to some, but this is kind of where they get you in the long run. If you plan on having the phone for 30 months, no big deal at all, but I tend to get a new one each year.

That makes sense, thanks. I tend to keep my phone for 2+ years (I have the Note 9 now) and I usually may them off way before. I would just use another trade in offer in 2 years and that may be with another carrier or Samsung.
Last time I used Samsung to get the Note 9 because they had the best trade in deal.
Did you purchase through carrier or Samsung?
If you went through Samsung, did you go with 4 year financing or the 20 month option? Carrier option or straight unlocked?
With the Fold 3 hinted at, I like the idea of the 20 month plan.
Thank you!
I bought one second hand on Swappa and paid for it outright.
Samsung Unlocked
Samsung Unlocked, took a month to arrive, but works great with Google fi!
Samsung unlocked, Samsung financing.
Oh, with 4 year.
Direct through Samsung, custom hinge. Traded in my beloved Note 10 Plus (also purchased directly through Samsung).
direct from Samsung Australia store.
i was supposed to get a Bronze Galaxy Fold 2 for the wife, but she did not like the folding feature and prefer the Note20 Ultra instead.
i ended up getting the Black Galaxy Fold 2 for myself.
no regrets.
This third attempt at purchasing this phone I bought through saying like I always do and paid in full pending trade of my old note 10 plus that they're offering $1000 for. Unlocked.
