Should I Sell My Nexus One?

I got this Nexus One by trading my G1 and $125.
Am currently on T-Mobile - contract up in March 2010
Ive been getting quite a few offers for my Nexus.
- Two people on craigslist are asking 300-350.
My phone is literally 10/10 condition and comes w/
everything , casemate case.
You think I should sell it for 300-350 now?
Should I wait till March 2010 when my contract is up? or do you guys think it will drop in resale value way more by then.
also do you think 300-350 is fair if cash is given

Do you need the money? Do you really want to sell it?
Only way I would sell my Nexus One is if I needed the money and I had another Nexus One already to replace it.
If you like the phone and don't need the money then why sell it?

Not a lot of better devices right now. Would hold on till contract ends or if something u like shows up. But it really depends on u'r needs: money, etc...

Practically all new androids are better than it. Choose wisely.

I am in a similar position, been offerend 350CDN for my Nexus but there really aren't any other phones out there that offer anything substantial over it to sell it... I like the Galaxy S, but until it is officially on Froyo it seems to buggy and really only has the bigger screen as the biggest reason to upgrade. I'm holding off until there is a substantial reason to upgrade.

Please enlighten us of these "new androids"

I dunno guys, I love my Nexus too but I'd sell it if I could use an EVO or a Droid X on GSM I think. The screen pisses me off to end on the N1 the lack of accuracy, the effed up multitouch and the horrible performance of the screen in sunlight drive me crazy. This is an amazing phone but HTC had to go and screw up the whole package by choosing a ****ty screen. Coming from an iPhone 3GS I can tell you that this screen is by no means at par

Better than N1

Gladly! New androids as in practically every android made after the Nexus One.
Verizon - Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Incredible, HTC Merge, Droid R2D2, & Samsung Fascinate
Sprint - Evo 4g
Tmobile - HD2, Samsung Vibrant (if you can stand touchwiz) & G2
And these are the phones that I can think of off the top of my head. If you want to check out the European phones: Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD.
So to reiterate, yes the Nexus One was a good phone, very nostalgic, set the tone for the new devices that came out. But with that being said, the new devices that came out are better than the Nexus One. So read up, pick one you like, and either sell the N1 or hold onto it for sentimental value.

i don't really understand caring about wether or not you're on a contract. put the SIM in and use whatever phone. surely you're not considering LOCKING YOURSELF into another 2 or 3 year commitment for the sake of a $4-500 phone ?
as far as all those being better, the hardware specs are very similar. the carriers... oh man, CONTRACTS ! no thank you. i'll stick with the tmo pay-to-play non contract.

The no contract route is pretty cool. If there was a possibility of me leaving Tmobile, I'd go contract free. Since I know I'm not going anywhere, I apted to sign the contract.

Yea. Before I paid Google 500+ I did my research about my nexus, and the math. Figured up over 2000+ dollars saved over two years using voip and Google voice, so I bought my nexus flat out and have been smiling since. Benchmark test wise I'm still over the Droid X and along with evolution I don't like the size. The g2 has 800 MHz =( and I don't use QWERTY or HDMI out. So a year after the purchase I would make it again today =)
N1 running psfreedom recovery and MIUI! sent via XDA app =D

All those phones mentioned have identical processors. Nothing running 1.3-1.5 ghz out yet. From what the news was saying is that towards the end of this year and begging of next we will have faster processors on smart phones.
I'd say hold off on selling your nexus or if you do, you aren't really getting anything better spec wise, maybe design is what you are looking for.

Keep the Nexus !
If you are wanting to stay with a certain carrier, your Android choices can tend to become very limited. I've been with Tmobile for years, happy, not moving.
My phone choices.... I dont really see any phones offered yet as being worth
signing another two year contract for.
I mean nothing fantastically better that my Nexus.
Heres what I mean, two years ago I was on the original G1 prebuy.
The Nexus is very drastically better than the G1.
I just dont see the TMO phone thats drastically better than the N1.
And if you have a Nexus then you have TMO or AT&T and AT&T's Android phone selection is worse than TMO's.
I'm holding pat especially since the N1 gets the updates months before any other phone does.
MyTouch was supposed to get Froyo "soon", and months have gone by, still no update.
Its almost like TMO would rather just keep everyones attention on its once a month new phone release than update the older phones.
When I do get a new phone I will keep the N1 till I'm sure the new one is better.
I've yet to see that phone though.

^ very true.
What also worries me is that none of the announced phones that are due to be released in this Q of the year are a whole lot better than Nexus One.
But as someone else said, I love my N1 except for the screen. The screen pisses me off so much!!

The G2 and the new mytouch are good replacements for the N1 in my opinion. Granted I'm not too impressed with the new mytouch overall design, nevertheless, the specs are nice and the FFC is a plus.

[Q] Best way to test drive a Moto X

Hey gang, I've got a bit of a conundrum here.
I'm the lucky owner of a Nexus 5 and it's a terrific phone. Problem is, my first love was the Moto X. I went with the N5 because it was cheaper off-contract as I currently have NET10. I'm still a little bummed that I didn't get the Moto X and I'm sure it'd be easy to trade the N5 for one but first I'd really like to try one out. Are there any good carriers out there that I can pick up a Moto X from and test drive it for a bit and then return it without taking too much of a financial hit? Carrier doesn't really matter, I want to test out the phone itself, not the service.
Ideally, the phone would be perfect for me and I would be able to trade someone's upgrade for a brand new Moto X from motomaker. Know of any reputable places where people trade phone upgrades?
Thanks all!

Whoops! Just realized this should go in Q&A. Please ignore!

Republic wireless just started selling the moto x for 299 with no contract and a 30 day money back guarantee . if you return it within that time, all you pay is the $10 shipping
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

trust me go to ebay look up Gazelle store they got good condition moto x going for $340 and obviously off contract. 30 day returns and even free return shipping. I was stuck in the same situation as you choosing between these two. Problem is still haven't decided.

[Q] Should I buy the Moto X now to use in April?

I want to get a Moto X, but I'm under contract with Sprint until April and would like to switch to ATT. I'm wondering if I should buy the Moto X today with the $100 off, wait until April to see if the price drops more, or wait until summer for a possible new version of the phone. Right now I'm leaning toward buying today with the $100 off coupon, but I thought I'd seek the advice of my trusted XDA community. Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

I guess it depends on how set you are on AT&T? If you are certain about AT&T then I'd probably order it as I don't see the Moto X going any lower than $299 for the majority of people.
I also wouldn't expect a new version until August 2014.

You could also just buy a used one in April. They'll probably be about $200 by then.

Keep in mind there are a plethora of phones to be dropped between now and April
MotoX Developer Edition

No...they will likely be on sale for $300 again between now and April. It was less than two months ago they were $350 on sale. Plus you'd lose out on a few months of warranty buying now and letting it sit.

The only thing with getting a used one is I want a specific setup (for me, a big part of the appeal of the Moto X is the customization) and it may be hard to find one used, in good shape, the way I want it. I'm not really interested in any of the other upcoming phones coming out before April, so I don't feel any need to wait and see about those. The thing I'm most hesitant about is getting the Moto X and having a significantly better phone in the same line come out just a few months later. Then again, I guess it's hard to beat $300 off-contract, and any new phone will be significantly more expensive, so it may not be worth waiting until then.

Just buy it, worst case you can sell it when you move on. I've been buying and selling phones for a while and usually I end up spending maybe 400 a year after profit and loss but I go through 3+ phones in the process. I just sold a 400 nexus 5 white for 399.95 all I lost was tax's and shipping so I rented a nexus for 3 months for 60 bucks. 20 a month is Cheaper than subsiding phones with carriers.
MotoX Developer Edition

If you're going to switch to AT&T, unless you're planning to go the prepaid route: it makes better sense to buy on-contract as I recall the Moto X is free then.

If you are certain you want to switch to AT&T, I say purchase it now. My answer is based on the fact, however, that I came from a Galaxy Nexus and anything was a welcome upgrade, and I had decided that I wanted only the Moto X. I'm on Verizon, and have to be due to crappy coverage from everyone else, and will never see another Nexus again. The Moto X is really the only viable alternative. I've pretty much decided to stick with Moto from here on out, provided they keep up the things they've been doing lately. So essentially, if it were me, I'd know that I'd still be set on the Moto X come April. If you're a specs chaser or always want the next big thing, I say wait until April to pick a new phone. I really doubt you'll see a newer Moto X before September though.

Bought a Nexus 6 - Can I sell my Droid Turbo (thats on contract)

Hey all, my Nexus 6 will be here tomorrow, and I want to make sure that I understand what I can do with my Turbo. I bought a Turbo Nov 1, on contact with my work account, I'm assuming I can simply put my Nano-Sim into the N6 and off I go. But, I would like to sell my Turbo to off-set the costs of the N6, am I going to have any issues with that? The phone would be clean to sell correct?
Thanks in advance.
Brocja01

Yes

You can sell it. The phone will be clean.

yes, as long as you arent doing one of those payment plan deals with verizon.

Excellent, hoping to recoup most if not all my investment into the N6. Got the 64gig Ballistic Turbo.

I suppose that really depends on how you purchased the Turbo. did you buy it literally on contract? or did you do the verizon Edge plan? or did you do a 2 year contract?
Regardless of what you did if you sold the phone it would be CLEAN however if you did something like cancel your contract for your 2 year contract with out paying the ETF and your account goes into collections OR if you are on EDGE and you stop paying the device portion of your device payment plan then in both instances the IMEI will be black listed and the person you sold it to will be stuck with paperweight phone.
so you bought the droid turbo and then did what, pay full price for the nexus 6 as well?

You should do a comparison when you get the nexus. I've ordered a Nexus knowing very well that I'm probably going to get a Turbo eventually. Depends on if I can survive without root or if Motorola ever makes a developer edition. Best case scenario the nexus battery lasts long enough and I won't even bother

I have both the Turbo and N6. Yes the Turbo battery is better, but that is the only thing going for it. The N6 absolutely blows it away in every other category IMO. The best part is that I feel great giving big red the finger using an unlocked and rooted device with unlimited data on their network

Yeah, I bought the Droid Turbo cause the Nexus wasn't out, then I bought the Nexus at full price. I really wanted the nexus, and don't have the patience for it to come to Verizon, so I bought the Turbo and now the N6.
I bought the Turbo by simply signing another 2 year contract. I have a work account, so I buy the hardware they pay for the line. So I renewed the contract and got the 64gig Ballistic Turbo for 50 buck as a 200 trade in of my old phone.
Just wanted to make sure I could still sell the phone after I got my nexus up and running. Otherwise I'll have to sell the N6, wife won't let me keep both.

$200 Trade in Value for Bionic on the Droid Turbo 2

I had my old Bionic sitting my desk for 2+ years since switching to the Galaxy s4. When I was looking at upgrades at the Verizon store (should I go iPhone, stick w/ Samsung) I also looked at the Droid Turbo 2. On that phone only, I got $200 for my Bionic + a $100 upgrade promo. My DT2 is costing me $9.33 on device payment. I thought it was worth mentioning.

Verizon with tradeins has a specific web page, I was offered no more than 200 trade in for my mint (Verizon refurbished it after all... and its my seventh one since they are the worst at phone refurbish.. I paid 700 for this s4 vzw and i own two bionics, all paid cash. 200 is a trade in for a upgrade to make you feel good and i went through every channel to get to a corporate lady that took months. Hey, I'm with you same phones.. etc.. but youre not getting anything trading it... honestly.. imo this is obviously but you can get that credit just because of the standard 200, 100 for trade in plus new contract
