One time (soon to be another focus owner patiently waiting) - Focus General

I miss my focus reasoning is because of I wanted to save some extra cash for the holidays I returned my focus. But the reason was my (tech guy) walmart contact told me they have the samsung focus in finally and that it was 148.88 I was like well thats only 50 in savings from when I purchased then he told me that it came with a $100 gift card to Walmart! So if you are wanting the focus and to shop at Walmart the actual cost you will spend is 48.88! When my upgrade is reversed going to pick my toy back up!

Its effectively free at Walmart now, pay $99.99, get a $100 Gift card.

AT&T just started a buy one get one free WP7 promo. Good in AT&T stores only.

This just kills me! All these great promotions I can't take advantage of. Buy one get one free, uh...

Amazon also is selling it for 49.99, i returned my surround (i paid 99.99) and am getting the focus and $50 back.

The cheaper they are the more there will be! Go Walmart!

i bought one off of amazon when it was on sell for $50... Im glad i saved $150 for other things and if i dont like it i can just return and get the captivate or sell it on ebay for $500 plus and get a unlocked phone. but i have a feeling ill like it regardless off what everyone is saying

What do you mean? Apart from a few biased reviews like inforworld.com, it's been very positive in most of the places. Check the owner reviews in Amazon, they all seem to be happy though not all techies like the usual WM or Android crowd.

I'm hoping for a Black Friday deal on a no contract Focus. Not holding my breath, but it would be nice...

i meant the people who complained about how M$ messed up by not have 1 or 2 feature and blah, blah, blah ( some of them on here). Which i dont see why they are complaining, because its a new Mobile OS and it takes time to develop things. None of the other OSs were perfect @ start.

Same here, but it's not looking to good.
My contract with AT&T just ran out, so the last thing I want is another 2 years with them. I'd like to pick up one of these off contract to hold me for a little while until I can decide which carrier I'll eventually switch to.

Yeah, I haven't seen a lick of any kind of deal anywhere.

Rooted G1 for sale. 1 week old. Mint cond. $400

Well, as much as I love the handset itself I'm just not computer savvy enough to make Android do what I want it to. So I thought I'd offer it up here to try and save some money for listing fees before putting it on eBay. As of today I've had it for 1 week. Absolutely no scratches or damage and still has factory plastic cover on the screen. It's currently running modded RC30 v 1.31 with Carbon Glow theme. Comes with original box, instructions, 2 Gb micro SD card, and everything that came from the factory. My price is firm @ $400 USD SHIPPED. Will ship anywhere worldwide *except Africa*. I generally use USPS Priority Mail with insurance. I requested the SIM unlock code from T-Mo about 3 days ago so I expect that to show up any day now. Please reply via PM or email me at [email protected]. Thanks for looking.
*pics were taken several days ago prior to installing new theme*
Check my eBay feedback:

You might want to lower your price. I bought one off CL almost new with a extra battery, case, box etc for $225. They seem to go for under $300 new.
I'm very well aware of what they're going for on craigslist. My ad is aimed more for those overseas that don't have such easy access to them.
**Mods feel free to lock this thread. I'd prefer private contact if any**
you can get it from ebay, worldwide shipping for less...

Stop giving the guy hell on his price. Try to order an ADP1 and set the shipping to Germany and see what happens to the price - It goes over 750USD. Let the free market determine the price.

Considering that the OP has firmly set his price, aren't those two statements contradictory? (Note, I don't really mind OP's choice of pricing, just pointing out this funny logical flaw.)
hummmm
i just got one.....black....1 week old unused unwanted upgrade for £230 of ebay here in the u.k
i wish you all the best with selling your G1
sorry i can't lock the thread...if i close the thread...it will drop of the radar...and nobody will see it
I'm not trying to "cheat" anyone. There's nothing dishonest or misleading about my ad. I know for a fact that with my willingness to ship worldwide I will easily get my asking price if I choose to put it on ebay. I simply thought I'd offer it up here first. Clearly, that was a poor decision on my part.

Considering the tone of some replies..that's exactly what I was hoping for. I'll simply take this as a lesson learned about this community and take my business elsewhere. Then there will be no need for further editorialization about my character or intentions.
Thank you to those of you with cooler heads that chose not to be a **** about it.
Honestly I think the problem is that you are asking full market value for something that is opened and without warranty.
Think about it, why would you buy a stereo from some guy off the street even if he was a friend of a friend, if you could get it for the same price from the company which not only guarantee's it but offers 30 day return policy and a manufactures warranty?
Honestly I have no problem with you selling it here, it isn't against the rules. But I think asking 400 for the phone is steep especially considering this is the market where we know what it is worth and how to find them.
I don't see what I'm doing as being any different than what people are doing with the Iphone 3g. You can get a brand new one with contract for $200 from AT&T. But if you've ever tried to buy one outside of AT&T you'd see that no one's willing to let an immaculate one go for less than $400 or so generally. Add on an unlock and jailbreak and that can take it up much higher still. Is it "cheating" to want to capitalize on supply and demand circumstances? An item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If no one here thinks my phone is worth $400..that's fine with me. I know there are others that would gladly pay what I'm asking. Obviously, they just don't frequent this site.
I never said you were cheating I was explaining why I think they are pissed off.
Your iPhone vs G1 complaint is like Apples vs Oranges. They are in no way similar. The iPhone can not be bought unless it has a contract. Of course I would pay more for a non contracted phone, but the G1 is 400 with no contract. Wheter it is unlocked and jailbroken is irrelevant since the iPhone can't be software unlocked only jailbroken.
The only criticism I can give for me personally is that I thought you would have at least given xda members a discount. I mean what is 20-40 dollars gonna hurt?
I agree with you in that someone would pay 400 dollars... but I also believe that if you were really trying to help a developer get one you would be giving us a little discount from what you sell it on ebay. But that is just me.

How much can I sell my G1 for? (not selling it now, just inquiring price estimates)

It's rooted with CM 4.2.8
Includes an 8G microSDHC class-6 card
And recently switched to using RA-dream-v1.5.2 for recovery.
No case/holster.
Does have a screen protector.
It has the tiniest 1/8 inch long hairline scratch on the screen itself. It does not distort any viewing. Otherwise, has no other scratches on it.
What do you think I can sell it for?
I'm planning on getting the Nexus One when released.
My wife doesn't want my G1 - so I may sell it. Am just curious.
they usually go for between 100 and 220(max, usually 200) but i would check craigslist and ebay if i were you...
I was hoping for $100, as it's a year old.
Im glad to hear $200 is possible.
Thanks oshizzle!
160 is cheap for a decent one. If it had a cracked screen I could see 100 being a possibility, but 150 at least if that's the only scratch.
It's insane what the freaking G1 will sell for on ebay.
If you choose to sell it do yourself a favor first, get it unlocked.
Unlocked phones seem to add $75 to the going rate.
If its clean, rooted with a current mod, and unlocked....$140-$175
I fail to understand why a phone that, I can get for $129.99 with tmobile, will sell for $129 on ebay ... broken.
I watched an auction for one that had OBVIOUSLY been run over by a car.
The guy even said, all the plastic parts are cracked or broken. The screen is broken, it does not work, the thing is falling apart. It's junk!
The freaking thing sold for $92.
Personally I think the Chinese are buying them all up and refabing them into operational units or selling them for parts. I mean I can buy every part I need to make a G1 except the mother board and the daughter board off of ebay. (and pay about $129)
Thought about going and extending my contract so I could get a new G1 and then selling my old one one ebay. I figure I'd break even at least.
wow, G1's are being sold for more money than I bought it for. When I purchased my G1 at release w/ a tmobile contract, i paid 125 dollars for my g1, i nabbed it a day early from release . but still, are you telling me that g1's are going for that much out there?

That's what I'm sayin' ... WOWZA!!!
If that's the going rate, I may just buy some functional GeeWons and root them and unlock them and flash them with the latest CM and throw on a $0.99 screen protector and get DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!!
I feel I did a terrible thing when I bought my G1 judging by this thread. I paid almost 700 CAD and ended up signing onto a 2 year contract after the fact because I needed data as well....
There should be an icon for getting pounded in the bum.
Remember everyone,
These are the "current" prices.
3 months ago G1's were going for about $50 broken, and $120 used.
After the phone first released, they were like $450 for an unlocked phone and even more if it was one of the first rooted phones.
To many people are buying the G1 because it is the new Super toy. My friend with an Iphone, another friend with a Nokia 900 and I are constantly playing the, 'Oh yeh my phone does..." game.
The more people who buy them, the more the market floods and the faster prices can drop.
A large handful of these people you have met...we often see them with posts like "HELP! I just bricked my phone!"
Prices will go down when the Nexus One gets released because it will become the new HOT item.
Then we can all buy super cheap replacement parts for our G1's that are also running the Nexus software thanks to people like Cyanogen, Dwang, and all the other great Devs who have been working on these phones.
As far as paying to much...can't help you there. Research is always your best friend.
$125 that seems good
G1's in the US in perfect condition are about $200-$250 on ebay... I got mine a couple months ago for $190, and felt lucky at that price. Perfect condition, only 2 hours of talk time, guy got the phone to test for a magazine, used it for 2 weeks, then sold it. I did plenty of research and spend a month waiting for one in the right condition at the right price to come my way.
Anyone that thinks they only paid "$125" for it are ignoring the fact that was the 2yr contract price, the actual price of the phone new is more like $400.
If all it has is that one little scratch, it will go for up to $200 if unlocked and in an auction. If you do a buy it now posting, $150-$175 will sell quickly and is more than fair.
I push them to $400 AUD ,,, if someone wants their rooted phone they can pay the price
I will buy them for $300 unlocked if I have someone wanting a phone rooted
they are $460 New
If someone Brings me their phone I will root for Free ...

Thanks for your valuable input on this.
If I should post it on ebay (most likely there than Craigslist), do you recommend I mention the technical details?
ie: it is rooted, has installed Cyanogen ROM 4.2.9.1 + RA-dream-v1.5.2 recovery
I know for sure I will definately take some high resolution pics of it to clearly show its fine condition.
Yes, realize what you pay for.
When you say that you are paying someone on ebay or craigslist the same price what you can get one from Tmob for, you are not. You pay that price at Tmob because you are signing a contract. On ebay and craigslist you are just getting the phone. That's why you get these phones for so cheap from any cell carrier. Because you are signing a contract. If you buy the phone without the contract, you will pay $300 plus for the phone.
Some people buy online for different reasons. To root the phone or use on another network.
And lately, people are not going to want to pay that much for a phone they are going to experiment on anyway. You can get a good used mytouch for about $150. When I had my G1, I bought it a year ago from someone for $175. But, if yours is in decent condition, you should still get a good price for it though.

Atrix for $199 or wait for a different phone?

Hi, I am new around here. Been lurking around for a little while.
I recently lost my iPhone 3Gs so I have been looking around to replace it with an Android phone bc I am kinda bored of iOS.
I dont have an upgrade til at the end of the year so I decided to call the customer relations and see if they can work out something for me. I remember reading in a "how much did you get your atrix for?" thread where the guy said he was leaving unless they gave him a killer deal and got his for $130 +$180 in credit and no renewal of contract which is hard for me to believe. I tried and the best they gave me was $199 with extension.
I am having a hard time deciding whether to move to verizon or t-mobile but they dont have any phones that i am interested in at the moment although it seems like there will be some interesting phones on the way soon.
but I need a smartphone again ASAP bc the 'dumbphone' is makin me feel dumb.
Would it be worth it to try to hustle them a bit more for a better deal or just move on to a different network? I thought they'd give me a better deal since i been with them for a decade now but i do think $199 for the atrix is still pretty reasonable. It is just that I can always use a better deal.
Sorry if this thread is pointless but any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
$199 for an Atrix off-contract is a killer price considering that you can still take your business elsewhere and get at least $400 on ebay for the Atrix if you decide to move.
that's a great deal! go for it, you'll love the atrix
awesome deal
worst case u can still sell it on craigslist for 450+ and u are not in a contract
Honestly... I'd hold off for another month or so and wait for the SGS2. The atrix is a good phone. I jumped on this bandwagon a little early and regret it; I'm waiting for the SGS2 international (I-9100) and jumping ship as soon as it's out.
Don't get me wrong though - if you're not a tinkerer then this is a great phone. And coming from an iphone I assume you don't care about the phone being locked up seeing as how that's Apples M.O. It could be a good phone for you but personally, I want to customize it more than I'm currently able to.

Isn't the SGS2 International like $950 off contract lol.
Yep that's a great deal!!!
It is great phone and hopefully in couple months or sooner the boot loader will get crack which im hopping for it because that will unlock tons more enjoyment from it and with the docks imagine what you can do with those. And even Motorola might even release something or unlock the boot loader when they see sales going down because everyone wants too unlock the full potential of this device!!
I got the atrix laptop dock also which is pretty nice but it just needs a bit more speed.

So I read this as, $199 for a 2 year contract (EXTENSION)..
That's the same as everyone else.. How is that a good deal?
you can get atrix for 119 in costco.

i was about to say the same thing
i was about to say the same thing. bought it few days ago for $120. The good thing is if I dont like the phone I can return it within 90 days without any charges and if something good comes by then (lets say Iphone 5,6 or whtever)..all I have to pay is the difference which is $80...
the price is with contract extension so basically the same price anyone can get. I just said that they would give me the contract/upgrade price now instead of waiting until the end of the year when I will be "eligible" for an upgrade. My bad for the misunderstanding. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the costco price since I can't get it for $199 even from the corporate store. As far as i know, AT&T will only allow me to get it at a discounted price through the customer relations department.
I guess I'll try if I can have the customer relations put a note on my account so that any at&t carrier can see my eligibility.
Hell, you should just buy it outright for the price; if you don't like it you can just sell it for 400+.
The phone is great though, I only took mine back because of the locked bootloader, the galaxy s 2 is coming out, and I just got bored with it.
Amazon's web store has it for $149. You'll lose your unlimited data plan if you have one, but I read that if you badger them enough they'll give it back to you.
That's what I'm going to try anyway!
do you mean if you get it from amazon?
Yes, they force you to change your data plan. Last night I found out you can also get that price at Radioshack, but I don't know if the data plan hassle remains.

I bought mines from radioshack and yes i was forced to convert to one of their new DATA plans, After the changes were done i called up at&t to have my unlimited databack. They submitted a case to their so called "BUFU dept" and they switched my unlimited back in 3 days.
Keep in mind i called before the changes and confirmed that they will put back my data plan
Got mine at Radio Shack for $149. No hassle at all with data plan or setup. Took less time than it typically does at an ATT store.

Trade in your old mobile phone at Tmobile for credit towards new purchase!!

I will be looking at this program when i turn in my vibrant for a sg2 or i may trade it or sell it on craigslist but the program does seem very cool. check out the details above. The reason for this program they say is that the lifespan for most phones isnt very long and this will help with the big bill of the new high end smart phones.
WHAT DO U THINK?
I'd rather sell my phones than give them to carriers. You won't get the same money you would from a sale when you trade in.
It's like selling a used car. You'll get more in a private sale, but giving it to the dealer is easier. I'll stick to craigslist.
yea like he said ^^
its like giving your car to a dealer. its worth $5,000 but he's going to give you $2,000 for it for a trade, so that he can resell it for $6,000 and make a profit.
Same goes here. Say a vibrant is worth $350 in goood condition on ebay.
butttt doubt they'd give you more than say 125 to 150. they do it for profit, and to bring ppl from other service providers.
never the less, theres always ppl out there that will be more than willing to trade it because they dont know any better. haha. Dont get me wrong, it is a good idea for not only T-Mobile, but for those ppl out there that just want a new phone and dont care for their old one or what happens with it once they get a new one. Or even ppl who are coming from other providers and just dont want their old phone.
personally, I keep all my phones. In case of an emergency, or just to have it to play with. If i get the SGSII, I'm totally keeping my Vibrant to keep playing with it, give it to my gf, or just sell it for a good price on ebay.
They estimated $110 for my mint Vibrant on the website. Better off with craigs
For what it's worth, I just recently bought a used Vibrant on craigslist for $150 and it is immaculate. It seems like an OK idea for simplicity, but I personally wouldn't do it for the same reason I won't sell my car to CarMax.
There going after the consumer that either doesn't care or is lazy. $110 for a mint Vibrant is definately low IMO and I'm thinking you would get more on EBay or CL.

I agree I think that is low, but I think theybwould offer more for non T-Mo smartphones because they be would be getting a new customer, where they are just keeping you if they give you $110, thus no real new income or new customer. Someone should check to see what they offer for a Fascinate or Captivate, and see if they offer more for them.
Sent from my CM7 Powered Vibrant
Well the other thing is they offer a max of 300 which according to the masses who don't know how great a phone these are technically they have released several phones that were expected to compete or be greater than the vibrant since last year, even though quality and hardware is not really improved try a newer phone a couple months old, might get better amount. But i agree the vibrant is awesome and worth much more than that

T-Mobile wont sell them, they are using a third party to do this, who will clean them up and either sell them to someone like Assurion or the carriers where the phones originally came from.

Get the Facts Presently Gazelle is offering $157.00 for the phone if it is in perfect shape and about 20.00 less for one less than perfect. That means if Tmobile is offering 120-130 for immediate trade-in or you can wait 15 days and get 15-20 bucks more for your phone.......... or try to sell online @ Ebay or Craigslist
Those are the facts as of today....... It is an ok deal like all phone carriers their deal are not bad..rarely great..... just OK
I asked a T-mobile employee at the Mall Of America and at a T-Mobile store downtown Minneapolis and they both said they'd only give me 80$ towards a different phone.

Best Buy Exchange's

Any have experience exchanging phones within theyre 15 day period before. I have always had bad luck with best buy and cell phones, ei.. screwing up my plan. I did an upgrade reversal once and it was a nightmare. Any way i want to go in on the 10th and exchange for a 32GB s4 and i asked the guy if its as straight forward as swap one for the other and pay the difference and he said ya but im still skepticle it will actually be that easy.
Anyone have any experience doing such a thing..

Nothing is ever easy at Best Buy which is why I haven't spent a cent there in over 2-years..
I'm actually surprised they haven't went out of business yet..
Sorry I can't answer your question but my guess is that it will end up being just as you suspect... A mess!
I usually buy phones there Cuz the 50$ gift card thing but after my experience just trying to purchase my s4 and two hours later a f'ed up plan ( deleted family text ) the saving are not worth it. After exchanging for the 32GB I'm done with BB

Will they really take a phone back if you had it that long?
Obviously you're limited if you buy it under contract but if you buy it retail ($749) it's yours and that return plan should be effective. We're also silver too and noticed 60 day returns are allowed!
As a Silver Rewards member too, I returned my launch SIII at day 59 just to get a fresh one, since the launch one had a slight issue with the volume buttons being loose - they would actually rattle when the phone vibrated! Since I'm not a complainer like so many others for the tiniest bit of lag they see on a 1.9GHz quad core PHONE (remember when desktops weren't even that powerful?), I didn't make a big deal out of it, but just went in before my 60 days ended last year and swapped it out.... I'm going to do the same thing this year for a 32GB S4 IF they aren't launching with some kind of prevention to the bootloader unlock!
People either love BBY or hate it, but if you aren't smart enough to have saved $50 at launch on the S4 like I did with the Phone Freedom deal they did again this year (saved $50 at launch on my SIII too), then you must enjoy spending more for the exact same thing! I can't complain about the 60 day return policy either compared to everyone else's at only a quarter of the time to know if this is the device you want to keep for the next 2 years on contract.....
Best buy is a nightmare to deal with. I have had nothing but bad experiences with best buy. I hope they go out of business soon.
I used phone freedom which is why I purchased from bb. Most likely going to exchange for the 32 as I keep looking at the available internal storage and it bothers me even though my 16gb N7000 sufficed for a year ... decisions

Good luck. Back in the day I was with my buddy at bestbuy, he was upgrading to the black berry curve when it first came out. Of course the rep was trying to sell the extra warrenty. They told us that there's no deductable and it covers everything including water damage. They actually had a small fish tank on the desk with a razor sticking out of the tanks gravel...there was a sign in the tank that read "does your insurance cover this?" They even told us we could smash the phone right in front of them and theyd give him a new phone. He bought the ins and a few months later he had a problem. Brought the phone in for inspection. They told us there was nothing they could do due to water damage. He was like I dont think so. They repeatedly told us they had no such policy...I than took out my bad ass black jack 2 and said "are you sure about that". Of course I took a picture of the "non exsisting" fish tank. He got a new phone and that was the last business either one of us had with Best Buy.

if you aren't smart enough to have saved $50 at launch on the S4 like I did with the Phone Freedom deal they did again this year (saved $50 at launch on my SIII too), then you must enjoy spending more for the exact same thing!.

Not everyone is so broke that they want to put up with Best Buy just to save a few bucks.
I'll spend my cash elsewhere, thank you!
Purchase from Sams Club or Costco and you also get the extended return / exchange times..
I have no interest in setting foot in a best buy store and would still buy elsewhere if they were offering the phone for .99 cents..
That's my .02

Okay, moneybucks, no one said I was "so broke" I had to put up with BBY, I have had good experiences with them and enjoyed going back again this year.... last year I paid cash for the SIII at full retail (well, minus the $50 for Phone Freedom), off contract, so let's not go around speaking for other people's financial situations when the real story is that they haven't had any issues with BBY in the past....
It should be easy, I remember I switched out my hox+ for an s3 and it all went smooth. The only thing about best buy is the lines are freaking so long! I think it's a good idea to go switch your 16 for a 32 if you're under the 15 day period. i am too but i just don't want to wait. just got an invisible shield put on today and everything on my phone is so organized i don't want to redo everything. i went and got my s4 the other day and i told them i didn't want to spend too much money on accessories and the employee got my phone and typed into my messaging app that he was gonna do a price match with walmart and save me $20 bucks and that he couldn't say it out loud around other customers. that made my day lol

Yawn... Is there anyone on XDA that you don't argue with, put down and 'act' like you are better than?
Good grief, a quick read through your posting history makes me think you need some help my man...
Added to my IGNORE list so respond back if you choose but I really have no interest in anything you have to say.. LOL
Another one bites the dust? Strange that I'm always here trying to help people, but yet some douche calls me broke out of nowhere and I'M the bad guy, acting like I'm better than someone else? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ Hypocrite much? Oh well, I'm ignored, I promise I won't lose any sleep over it!
