Apperently we still hold some clout - Nexus S General

was just checking you best buy for the new galaxy nexus that will be on sprint soon( for my girl and her triumph return to android after a two month iphone 4s detour)
and got a chuckle on how a electronics store prices year old phones

Haha, oh wow.

That's more than what I bought my GSM version for when it first released.

It's the same thing on the Sprint site. If you go to the phone section, the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G are both the same price. Not 699 but they are the same prices.

Its ridiculous how much they want to charge for "retail" prices. You can find close to brand new nexus s's all over the internet for around $200. No way I'd pay $700 dollars for this phone right now.
Btw, diggin the minecraft icon in your taskbar

Try calling Sprint and speaking to Account Services. My upgrade wasn't until November but I was able to pay them $75 and get my upgrade reset.

Nexus S 4g for $80 out the door

At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?
No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.
What would be the price at best buy

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months
The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

Are you sure the epic had horrid support from Samsung. My girl had one and having all those galaxy s phones did not help unlocking and getting aosp on it. Alot of the talented devs on sprint are here or on the evo 3d, just one thing to make note of

Nexus prime

Just seen online that Samsung & Google are holding an advent on October 11!!! I just got my. Nexus S4G on Sunday now the primes just s month away or maybe a week after they introduce!!! I'm SIKED now its iPhone vs Prime this month Go ANDROID! !!

I might be ready for some Nexus Prime !
I'm wondering I got the nexus s 4g 4 days ago at best buy & payed them 30$ for there buy back program where I can bring my phone back in 6 months & they would give 50% retail of what it cost so it would be 350$ then I can just pay the difference remaining & can get the Prime!!

You would be better off selling your nexus on ebay or craigslist and then buying the prime.

Count me in. I've had an upgrade since April and have been holding for the GSII, but when I heard about the next Nexus, I decided to hold off until details are confirmed. If it's coming to Sprint, and if so, when.

Nexus S on Ebay used are going for around 200. If he can get 350 back for it the Best Buy buyback thing would definitely be better. Then hit Ebay to get a prime.
a bit strange that they'd bring this out at pretty much the same time the iPhone 5 hits stores, no? perhaps they know something about the iPhone not coming out until later than is anticipated and are hoping to get the jump on it.
I thought the Prime was going to be Verizon exclusive for at least a month or two. Was that just a rumor?

I hope they don't do that, because they'll loose lots of money for doing that but more likely its gonna take some time for sprint to get it, just like nexus s and then few months later NS4G

A sprint Rep told me they are getting the new Nexus but it would be a little after Verizon gets there's it looks as all 4 carriers are getting it which would make sense if they want to go toe 2 toe with crapple I mean apple lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
This is my new phone. I don't trust the rumors, but the general sense is that Verizon exclusivity is not going to last too long - maybe a few months. Also, Verizon is offering it as a Droid Prime, so it is likely not to be a pure Google experience phone. I was thinking of jumping ship to VZW due to piss poor Sprint coverage if it was not for the 2GB data cap (generally use slightly more than that a month).

FYI - Epic 4g Touch (SGS2) $219

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25965407#post25965407
Just giving a heads up to my fellow OG Epic friends.
Why get a GS2 with no LTE for that much? Radio Shack is offering them for $49 on upgrade.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Because the $219 price is without a upgrade or contract

why spend $219 regardless when its not LTE is the point. When the successor will be coming this summer not to mention the Gnex being a better option than the S2
Yeah I got that. But I don't think it is much improvement over the Epic to warrant $219. But I am sure some will like that. Thanks.

In reality the S2 trades blows with the Gnex. I would prefer the Gnex for the screen + AOSP aspect, but not for twice the price (off contract).
If you buy an off contract phone then it leaves you free to buy an on contract phone at the discounted rate whenever you want (cause you're not in contract at that point).
Also there isn't any LTE or WiMax for 100 miles of me nor is my area announced to get in this year. Maybe by the time the Nexus 3 comes out next year it will be worth it to look at a LTE phone at that time for me.
I doubt many area will get LTE anytime soon.
not a bad deal, but personally I wouldn't pay $219 to upgrade from OG epic.
Ah. Good point for you and the 4G thing.

You could sell the epic on Craigslist for 100 at least and then it would be a fantastic deal. It will still be worth at least 150 by the time the gs4 is announced, meaning its essentially a free upgrade of you have the cash to put on hold for a while.

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood

HTC Evo 4G Sprint for $177

Is this true? Should I get it?
Why would you spend anywhere near $200 on a Evo? You are aware that Sprint phones are CDMA and will not work on a GSM network, right?
I bought 3 of these tabs for $135 each about 4-5 months ago from 1saleaday.com.
Had pretty hard time selling it even for $150.
Don't buy this unless its less than $100.
