[Q] Where can i get photon cheap? - Motorola Photon 4G

Anyone know of a place i can get the photon cheap?? i currently have HTC Evo Shift and im looking into this phone. Just i don't wanna pay $550 for it.
Also what does bad ESN stand for??

Bad ESN means the phone can't be activated on Sprints network. Either its a stolen phone or the bill wasn't paid. The

That might be a tough one to find cheap as it is so new, you could look for one with a broken digitizer and replace it, but the digitizers are rather expensive if you could find them for this phone, so the amount of money saved would be negligible. better off buying a new one or waiting a few months. a bad ESN is the serial number of the phone that is essentially banned from the network because someone did not pay their bill and the contract was terminated or someone reported the phone stolen so the ESN will not work on the network. you can buy phones with bad ESN's and flash them to work on Metro PCS i believe but since this phone is so new thats probably low on the list for the Developers.

I'll sell you my photon for $300 after the 14th since I'm upgrading to the iphone 4s.

How can you turn your back on Android? :-( :-( :-( jk I was thinking about getting the iPhone now that its on Sprint but I knew I would be licking myself in the ass for switching from a Galaxy S2 to a 3.5 inch iPhone. Plus this thing screams and I understand that the iPhone is smooth and fast but not then this. Lol

I've missed the iphone since I left at&t,but Sprint's plans are just too good. I don't dislike Android,but it's nowhere near iOS when it comes to user experience. The fact that there is lag when swiping homescreens is pretty embarrassing considering it's a dual core phone. I was thinking about Nexus Prime but the ICS video is really underwhelming with the butt ugly UI.

Related & I hope I'm not hijacking but I lost my old Hero and am going to buy a Photon. Seems like Best Buy has the best deal for $99 these days? Any chance / opinions that the price will go down further soon or should I simply bite the bullet and get it ASAP?
--30

$99 on contract is the cheapest I've found locally also, I've seen the Evo 3D for $79 online but the Photon has been praised in all it's reviews for having such a good signal.

I've heard nothin but good things about this phone except the fact that it has lag sometimes from screen switches which I'm use too from hero, evo, and evo shift.
But if anyone is getting rid of there photon for the iphone, let me know I would be glad to make a deal or something.

My iPhone 4S should be in friday from Sprint so my photon will be up for grabs soon.

cheapest without contract
The cheapest I found it was at wuzbee (.com) a few months ago; when I got mine it was something like $370 without a contract. The price went up a little since then and is showing out of stock now. Looks like there are some sellers on ebay with lots of good ratings that have it for around $380 now. Got another for my wife with a contract extension at Best Buy for $100 shortly after I got mine.

Look on Craigslist they go for $230-300 depending on condition. Before you buy call Sprint and verify that it's a good phone to use (as in good ESN). I bought mine BRAND new for $270, and I mean NEW as in I took off the plastic. Good luck.

ok well people who are going to sell there photon, send me a Private Message with a price. i will reply to it with in 24 hours
please and thank you :-D

Photon 4g or nexus s 4g

alright guys some of you may know i have a nexus s 4g, and i love it.. but my team already has people on it, so i offered to take on photon 4g. now that puts me in a spot, as i dont have one
so anyone unhappy with their purchase interested in trading?
Even trade? Not gonna happen, Sorry. That's like trying to trade your Sterling silver chain for a white gold chain.

I owned the nexus 4g for about 3 months and decided to upgrade one of my lines on the family plan (Family hand me down program hehehe)
I agree with newalkwer, I would not go back. I know you read about the screendoor effect, but let me tell you, yes, you will see it, BUT only if you really look for it. Otherwise, its a great phone so far and I will not look into returning it anytime soon. Sound quality is great and unlike the nexus 4g, the speaker volume on the Photon is LOUD! Let's me sneak in a couple movies in the data center with the servers humming away hehehehe.
Also, when i first looked at the nexus screen, I was wow, the display and the colors were great. But now that i think about it, It does look over saturated.
Well, to each his own, but these are my opinions on what i have seen so far.

You heard? Show some proof. I highly doubt that will be the case. This phone is off the hook and being unlocked and rooted now its only a matter of time before we get some sick kernels and ROMs. This phone rocks and I knew it would awhile back, no one believed me. Owell
If they are such a high sell rate why don't you buy one of CL then??
Good Luck

My roommate works at a corporate sprint store and he just mentioned tonight that they have sold about 30 photons and have had only 1 return, and that was just because the person didnt have coverage in their area and decided to go with att.. though the customer liked the photon so much my roomy told him of the atrix (with the updates the atrix performance wise is pretty close now besides the obvious upgrades of mopho). So thats b.s. about the high return rate. If anything the nexus s 4G is higher because of the obvious network issues stock (though update should have fixed this). Either way look on ebay, if u think u can get a even trade then why not sell on ebay and just use paypal to buy a photon on ebay as well...

We need you on our team Shabby..but seriously toss in like $50 extra and swap some poor sap on craigslist for a Photon. I had an NS4G and the Photon is leaps and bounds better. Here's how i upgraded....Evo 4g + $50= Nexus. Complained about radio on nexus = free 2 yr upgrade. Sold nexus for $220. Bought Photon for $219.48 with tax ftw.

My Daughter has the Nexus S and I just got the Photon yesterday and there is NO WAY I would take her Nexus S. WHile the Nexus S is a very nice phone, to me it's not as good as the Photon ( I am coming from the OG EVO) which the Photon puts to shame. The Photon is being compared to the SGS2. It's Crazy Fast and has ALOT of things that it did right. Downloaded Netflix and watched The Thing and it looked Amazing. I don't know why I hear people *****ing about the screen, it looks Incredible to me. Photon>>Nexux S. Plus with Google buying Motorola Mobility, I can only see this as a Win/Win
Guys, I'm in a bind!!! I can't decide between the Photon or the HTC Sensation... I know this is the Photon Forums and thus the bias is going to be towards the Photon, but can someone make a good argument as to why I should go with the Photon instead of the Sensation?
I will be heading out to the store to buy ONE OF THEM but I just need that extra push towards one of them!
Thanks in advanced.
PS. Also take into account the carrier. In other words, taking into account the phone AND carrier, which one is the best overall guy?
Photon hands down sprint has better coverage in buildings but T-Mobile data is faster but u get capped on T-Mobile, Sprint is unlimited. Photon processor is better then sensation and da 3d which is actually clocked at 1.2ghz, battery lasts longer on the photon, plus moto down wit google i kno dat locked bootloader nonsense is ova wit, photon has better voice quality and sound. Should i keep goin?

I got my 3d for free technically. My local Walmart has it for 98 bucks and at the time (i think theyre still doing this) they are giving 100 dollar gift cards to anyone that gets a smartphone... So basically they paid me 2 bucks to take it off their hands. Being that this is my second one i was scared itd be hboot 1.5 but apparently back home no one buys sprint phones because coverage is spotty at best..... So i ended up getting it with hboot 1.3
And to they guy debating on epic touch or 3d... Id recommend the 3d if you like custom roms. There are a lot more options with roms, kernels, and overclocking with the 3d. I had it and wasnt overly impressed except for the gorgeous display. Damn i love those amoleds.

That is probably exactly why my brother just picked up a 3D for $49.99 from the Sprint Corporate strore here with hboot 1.40!
yeah i had to jump on this offer also. I just couldnt let it pass, I would have kicked myself in the ass.
Don't you have to renew your contract though? I mean it's not like you can just buy the phone for that price without renewing or signing a new contract....?

Asurion replacing my 3D with the E4GT

So I had to do a claim because my charger port is shot and they don't have any 3Ds to send me. I went ahead and had the phone shipped because I neeeeeed my phone, but I'm pretty upset. Am I totally screwed with a pos Samsung or do I have any options ? Buying a new phone full price isn't possible right now but I am thinking about switching carriers

The E4GT is probably going for more than the 3D right now on ebay and stuff. Call Sprint retentions, have them give you an upgrade, sell your sammy and buy the evolte at $200. Make it happen

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

Anybody Coming back from Samsung Note 2

Just curious I just returned my Samsung Galaxy note II and am back to the Evo 3D.
It feels good!
Just curious if anybody else was thinking of upgrading or has and is thinking about coming back to the 3D or perhaps im insane.
First you have to explain to the jury, why you did such a thing. Then after careful deliberation, we will discuss the matter at hand.
I don't think you're insane at all. That damn thing is WAY too big. Now, if you were coming back from ann S3 I would definitely think you are insane. lol

Someone told me the code in 2008 to get into that website as 3249312 and it has worked ever since. I don't know if it is an employee link because I don't know the company he worked for. I also figured the url embedded the code into it so I just use that now instead of going to the homepage and typing it in manually.
I also used that number with the 800 number one year because I wanted to make sure my plan didn't change but the operators said that the upgrades don't change plans. (Wanted to keep 6 line family plan intact )
Just got an update. That link now has the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 for $249.99 tax free for New and Upgrades. I have been waiting for it but still 50/50 because I know the 3D has a new lease on life due to the AOSP breakthroughs recently from Agrabren and CG.

I debated the size before buying mine but man, I don't regret getting it at all, especially now that they released the multi-window update.
Going back to my EVO 3D isn't gonna happen here. In fact, my wife wants to take my EVO 3D but I am contemplating getting her a S3 instead because the EVO seems so small now lol.

I didn't know...

Sad to say my gf traded her note yesterday after paying retail for it 4 months ago, she traded for an iPhone. :banghead:
But here's the deal. She traded thru craigslist, we all met at att to get new sim cards, i told my gf to drop the ins on the note (I sat in the car) when she was done she said the clerk was trying to reset it because it was used and because its jail broken, the reset was talking forever so they aborted. The clerk than said that they can transfer the ins from the note to the iPhone, I wasn't aware that they could ins a used device not too mention its jailbroken which they're aware of. Secondly, the iPhone was adverticed as a 5 month old 4s, after some research I found out that its an iPhone 4, and it could be years old. She doesn't seem to care but I do...she got ripped off. She thinks he bought it used and was under the impression it was a 4s. Sorry guys, this has been bugging me since last night. I'm still surprised that its covered by ins, but I wonder about the warranty?

You weren't at the store during the trade? If so, why didn't you look at the phone before agreeing to it?

The LG Thrill is, in my opinion, the worst android phone I've ever used.
I can't wait for the day when I can get rid of it. I'd sell it for $0.50 if I thought someone would actually buy it.

If you really want to get rid of it...I'm looking for a backup phone.

I bought my wife an S3 to (hopefully) replace her iPhone 3, but she hated it. Didn't make it a week before she happily exchanged it for an iPhone 4.
I don't get it, but obviously none of us do.
That's why we're here.

Nice!
I didn't notice your second portion on your first reply "why didn't I check it out? Well, I stayed in the car the whole time, figured we could trust this guy since apparently we know each other from years ago and that we have mutual friends. It didn't even cross my mind that it may not be a 4s until we got home. To the untrained iPhone eye you can't tell the 4 apart from the 4s...there is only 2 physical differences that I know of, 1 is that the 4s has 4 black stripes around the edges were as the 4 only had 3. The other one (just learned today) is the volume switch is in a slightly different location.

All, lets be nice, Gentlemen be nicer...
OP not sure why this thread is alive, but if we all can't be nice, I will be back. Thank You.
