Where to buy cheap android phones?

2. eBay
3. swappa

hmm Philippines maybe.. hahahha.. ebay

I got my new Samsung Galaxy S2 white for £280 on eBay. Good Deal I guess...

How about Verizon?
Hey guys - sorry to revive an old thread (not sure if protocol is to start a new thread or what?).
Does anyone have tips on finding used Verizon 4G phones? My lady friend wants to get a 4G phone but not lose her unlimited data plan so we're looking at the used market.
I've seen Gazelle on eBay, they have a few phones. Just looking for other sites for comparisons sake.
Thanks for helping out a forum n00b!

Looking for a Nexus One in South Florida

Basically i want a nexus one, not interested in paying 500+ from someone on ebay/craigslist/scammer
if you are in the south florida area, ( I live in lauderhill), and have a nexus one for sale at a reasonable price( new or used) let me know, pm me for personal contact info or email me at [email protected] thanks in advance
att or tmobile?
AT&T nor TMO sells them in the store. I live in South Florida as well, and found a new one in the Doral area in some mom and pop phone shop on Friday. If you're looking not to pay 500+ your best bet is ebay, Clist, and whatnot. Like you I don't trust those sites, and dished out $600 for mine, but I sold my MyTouch Slide for $400, so I guess I really paid $200 for mine.
If you need the number to the place where I bought mine, just PM me. Just know that you will be paying $600 for it.
Since Google still sells them on their website, why not buy it through them? You know where it is from and still have a warranty that way.

[Q] Want To Buy A Galaxy Tab! Doesn't know where to buy!

I want to buy a 7 inch Samsung galaxy tab. I'll use it in other countries where I will use GSM sims. But I'll buy it from USA.
Can anyone suggest me which Galaxy Tab should I've to buy? (I don't know much about P1000, P1010, P1000T etc etc)
Previously I thought I could use GSM sims on wifi version of Galaxy Tab. But just figured it out that no gsm sims will have support for Galaxy Tab Wifi only.
I want to buy it at a cheaper rate. (like $250-$350) Where can I find this galaxy tab at the cheaper rate & which version should I buy? Any ebay links or product links where I can buy would greatly appreciated.
Besides, I'll use it on Bangladesh thats why it needs to be unlocked. So Suggest me those models which can be unlocked with no problems & I can use GSM sims on it.
Thanks!
I would buy the at&t tab as it has the hardware that has more compatibility. To get it in your price range, go to att.com, and buy a refurbished tab for ~ $300. Thats what I did three times. Good luck!

What means Refurbished? & Will I have to sign any contract with AT&T? If yes how more it'll cost? I'm mentioning that I won't use it on USA.
Refurbished means the unit was returned to AT&T and has been checked and returned to factory state. May even have been put in new box.
That $300 Tab is buy outright price. You won't be on an AT&T plan, unless you decide to sign up....
Thats Nice... Any Other Reccomendations?
No, thats about it. Good luck. Enjoy. It's an adventure!

[Q] Galaxy Note from China, can I buy it ?????

Hello every one
I am a french citizen living in China for one year
I am dreaming to buy a Galaxy Note, but I can buy it only in China, is someone can tell me if it will work properly when I will come back to France ?
If not is there a possibility to change the system at this moment?
Sorry but I am a novice in this matter
Thank you in advance for your help
Yes as long as you buy the GSM version. Not sure if there is some CDMA weird version for the Chinese market.
Agreed, look for the GSM bandwidths, I think the EU's on 900 and 1800.

Thank you very much for your help. i have a similar question
where are you folks planning to buy?
hey, I'm an American in Shanghai - I've been planning on buying one as well, but it seems the only choices are
a) buy a "brand-new" model, grey-market European version, 50% chance it's a refurb, but can offer local store warranty for ~3280rmb ($520 USD), or
b) buy an official, brand-new one for 4100rmb ($650 USD)
I almost pulled the trigger on the grey-market one, but it just kills me to know that I can get a brand-new NON-refurb for $500 USD through Newegg in the US... arrgh.

I bought mine on taobao from Shenzhen, 1 day shipping. I think that is safer than buyer from a store in shanghai, as the taobao sellers are selling loads of these phones.
Mine had been opened and made chinese even it is a european version. they changed some settings so you'll default to chinese language after a wipe/upgrade, and the samsung keyboard didn't work when I first good it. But after reinstalling european firmware everything is good.
I would stay away from official version because of price and I'm also not sure if all google services work on those.

yeah - the quote I had for ~3300 was from a taobao seller with a brick 'n mortar store. At least there's somewhere to go if the thing is borked. The "warranty" is through the store and not samsung, but at least they know where (taobao!) to source screens/mobo and claim to give 2 years replacement service should anything go wrong. still might pull the trigger on it... unless one of my friends goes back to the states in the next couple of weeks.
Did your seller offer any kind of warranty?

Blue model?

I'm wondering what's the deal with the blue M7? I'm thinking about buying one off of a guy for very cheap (130) (sprint) and I'm wondering if it's rare? or if it's just not popular or what?
Searching for the blue model on google just brings me to best buy's page, I can't find anyone selling one on CL or swappa. Do you guys think I'll get burned? I'm prepared to check the IMEI and such status with swappa but.. If i'm looking to resell this.. any ideas?

Hey guys Im torn need advice on Note 4

Hi,
I am going to purchase a brand new note 4 for the first time from a reputable vendor i heard all the horror stories about ebay and blacklisted imei's so decided to shell out the $$$.
I saw brand new n910c going on amazon for a little over $600 which seems like a good deal but I know it doesnt support band 12 on tmobile's lte network. I do use tmobile but the cheapest i saw a tmobile note 4 was bestbuy which is like 800 with tax which seems pretty steep
Is it ok to go with the exynos n910c or will i regret it down the line if i dont have band 12 support? Or does anyone know of another place I can purchase a new note 4 tmobile wihtout having to buy tmobile service? Thanks.
I bought my Brand new N910T from Swappa for like $700 when it first came out. My Gf just got a brand new one for $600 on swappa last week so I'd suggest buying a brand new one from there if you can't get it directly from T-Mobile.
You will get bad battery life compared to a T-Mobile note 4 with band 12 but that's just NY $.02
im confused... if you use tmobile, why not get it from tmobile?
Yeah, Swappa. They check IMEIs for blacklisting and financing plans, so if a device makes it for sale there it's gonna be good. Currently I see a brand new Note 4 for Tmo for 540.... Comes with everything but no box.
The selling of devices or products on the XDA forums is against the rules. If your looking for a device go to Swappa if your selling go to Swappa.
Thread cleaned and locked as OP now knows where to go as recommended by XDA

Have a great day!
