1. If you have TEP you can keep it.
2. Yes you can, as long as both of you are in good standing with your accounts.

So... I would walk into a store with said seller. Tell them we traded phones. They verify that both accounts are active and the esns are clean I assume? If everythings good then thy would just switch phones on the account for you? Would I be able to keep equipment protection?

What if the sellers phone was never activated? Post says looking to trade brand new ns4g. Not sure if he means never activated or just activated.

Call sprint from a separate phone and do an esn swap from your phone to nexus then have him activate or whatever he wants to do with the phone you give him. of course you will both have to be together when you do this. Just make sure you can activate the nexus on your account and have sprint clear your old esn before you give him your phone. Sprint customer service can swap phones very easily over the phone, as long as you're not calling from ths phones you are dealing with.
I personally would feel weird going into a sprint store and take up their time when doing a phone trade like that. That's just me though.

It may sound stupid but my buddy got one and bought a case for it. The looks and feel of the nexus s with a case are PERFECT for me. Feels amazing in the hand with a case. Holding it reminds me of when I had my iPhone 3g. As much as I hated it it felt great in the hand. I could type one handed and type with very high accuracy with my eyes closed.

From what I've been told by a Sprint employee, it doesn't matter where you bought the phone. TEP covers any phone on your line. I have even told them that I bought the phone from someone on Craigslist.

Actually it is. They both cost the same price, they both have almost the same hardware, and the Epic is a better phone as fast as multimedia. Video recording in 720p and way better camera software/libs. I rather the ns for development. If I rathered the multi media features the Epic would win out. That's why I kept both phones. I use the nexus as a phone and carry the Epic to do video and listen to music so I think its a fair trade.

I believe right now the ns4g is 460 off contract the epic was 540 so its actually more. Epic is a great phone but laggy with the bloat and carrier iq present luckily theres roms out to fr ix that. im currently working on an aosp build for it from 2.3.4 source which should put it on a level playing field with the nexus. GB leaks for the epic are greatly improving the phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
That's the thing. I'm moving out the country and canceling my contract very soon. Wanted a GSM phone... guess this was the wrong place for that. But I posted in the mktpl as well as the ns forums (GSM). But I would take a cdma version because of the aosp. Regardless I like my phone. Doesn't seem like anyone wants to take me up on my offer

Try to trade locally for an unlocked Vibrant or HD2. The Dev support for those phones are ridiculously large. You could also sell the epic on craigslist for $200 then use that to buy an unlocked t-mobile android phone (Vibrant/Mytouch 4g/G2/HD2) if someone won't trade.
Personally I would sell the epic then buy a vibrant. The vibrant has HSPA bands you could use in europe and has aosp/cm7 roms similar to what the Nexus S runs. It is also easily unlocked by everyday users without having to pay a dime, so you can save money by buying a locked vbrant and unlocking it yourself.
Just keep trying OP...
I trade lots of stuff online. I remember trying to trade an Elite 360 for a 60gb BC PS3...I tried and tried and wrote over 10 people every day for a month until I found someone that said yes. It may take some time but you will adventually find someone that is willing to do it.
I wish someone would take my infuse for an i9020a :*( you guys have amazing dev support and roms...I'm so jealous!

Possible buy..

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a att branded Nexus S, found one on Craigslist for $300..
I think its a fair price, Guy is local and I'm tired of my Inspire.
Reasons I would like to buy it, smaller screen size, pure aosp, battery life...
I just got the inspire about 3 months ago and will more then likely keep it..
What are things I should look for to make sure it is the real deal or just in general?
Any help is appreciated honestly.
I know I could wait for something better to come out ina few months but I don't use my phone for gaming, just purely alot of web browsing, texting and surfing forums..
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Only advantage to the Inspire is screen size. I have owned a Inspire and currently own a NS4G and I like both, but Nexus is smooth. When I buy phones I really just check cosmetic and play with it and check about phone to see what its on and browse the interwebs for a few.
Make sure it is truly the i9020a version and not the i9020t or some other variant. Otherwise it isn't truly the AT&T phone (would not work with 3G otherwise).
What should the about read besides 2.3.4 which kernal is stock etc and thanks for the replies guys keep then coming please

That I am not sure but, I told him I wanted to me up and he goes, ok my friend works downtown and ill confirm with him, I'm assuming he posted for a friendz but then goes on to say the Guy, who apparently owns his own business.
So sounds kinda sketchy to me, if a Guy can run a business downtown why can't he post his own ad?

Get the IMEI # and call att check it. If he wont give it to you then move on! Gsm phones don't have esn they take sims and you could end up with a stolen phone and not even know it. I know here in Austin they are going for less than what that guy is asking. Just seen a white one for $260 and it was squeky clean.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
The AT&T nexus s is only $99 on contract, so $300 for LBNIB isn't sketchy--but the white ns for $260 kind of is. I say meet with the guy if you like the price, inspect for damages and all accessories, then stick your sim in and wait for that 3G or H symbol to pop up. Also make test calls and take pics to ensure speakerphone/mic/camera/etc. is working.
I just bought a LBNIB for $325, so $300 is a good deal imo.

So I just talked to him again, he sent the pictures like he said he would, sweet baby jesus she looks fine! lol
Turns out the reason he mentioned his friend was because they are old business partners and the actual seller wouldn't be able to meet me in person, because he would be at work, so he is going to give the phone to his friend, who he trusts to meet up with me.
I didn't ask the guy where he worked but his friend works downtown here and it's not to far for me, so hopefully all goes well..

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

Just for clarification the nexus s is a pure google experience, no touchwiz or htc sense. I'm all over this, that's why I like the ns.

I also have the box in mint condition and the original screen cover. All the original accessories can be included, except maybe the headphones, unless you want my earwax.
Cool, looks decent. And just a tad curious, may I ask what phone you're replacing the ns with?

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Nexus s is good for messing with roms..

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

My only gripe I had with the Nexus S was no LED notifications and no zoom on the camera, but I wish the Epic had the internal storage space the Nexus have

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .
