well in new delhi this is available for 25k without warranty ..... grey market like maybe... do u people recommend this at this price?
actually last 3 smartphones i owned i never used warranty ....maximum that happens is breaking of display or body ...tat is a warranty void condition ...so this time i am taking a chance going for without warranty product....

samsung galaxy s 3 rs. 33000
htc one x rs 30000 or so (not sure bout this one)
iphone 4s rs. 35000
opinions please.... thanks in advance
my budget is around 25k to 27k
The retail price of the Sony Xperia S is around 32k. I say you try to bargain a little bit, im pretty sure you can get it reduced a bit more, but if you don't mind go for it

I got mine for 23k and I must say it is worth every buck even at 30k. But at 23k, it's a steal and there can be no better phone at this price

23k? how? second hand or grey market...
well i want to ask if there are many problems with this phone or this is a solid one without any problem? well grey market does nothing it just gives u phone at around 5k less than market price... if this phone has no issues i will buy it but if there are problems for which i have to go to service center then i have to think.
Check the built no before you buying so that you can avoid off going to service centers..

I would not recommend u to buy any smartphone (at that price) without warranty. I can assure u that SXS is totally worth its price (i got it for 30k).
Anyhow, if u still wanna buy from grey.. then do check its batch no/build no (like AAAC/ABAB) as some initial batches suffer yellow patch/tint issue. I've had mine (ABAB) for 2 months, no yellow tint or any other issues so far!
About the list you have.. all phones are good, it all depends on what feature u like more in a smartphone! Good luck
Buy a second hand one. I got one only used 5 days and in an impeccable condition except the seal. I even got warranty. Look in Quickr or OLX. You might find some steals there

Hi
Its pretty good price i got mine here for 430 euro which will be around 30k in INR
Its a good price ..
I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. I dropped my Note (no case I am an idiot--all due to my vanity) and cracked the screen. I think I have 2 options.
1. Sell on Ebay---how much should I expect to get?
2. Try and get samsung to repair--I heard they will fix it for 200 bucks.---How do I figure out how to do that? Will it matter that I bought it on Ebay used and don't have any original info for it?
thanks
Honestly you will probably spend the same amount either way. ~200 to fix or ~200-250 selling broken and buying newer used one. I think they hold strong still at around ~500

Hey mate
In my honest opinion and experiance i'd go the ebay option. Aim around the $300 mark.
As my replacement screen cost me 350 (in australia) also you never know if the drop has
Fractured anything internally.
So id sell it for the 300,fork out the other 200 and get a brand new one with warranty.
Just my 2cents
Yeh I would sell the device. Since the demand is still high. And save up for either another phone or use the money and wait it out ..saying if you had a backup.. And get note 2 ! if and when it does come out.. lol
don't sell on ebay

From personal experience selling a device like this on ebay sucks. First you must post a very detailed description of the device other wise if you get any buyer thats very picky you are going to have a very bad time paying for the shipping to and from the shipper, and then the fees are crazy, between ebay and pay pal you are going to lose like 60$ and then you have to wait for about two or three weeks before you can use the money because scumbag paypal has the buyer protection thing. If i were you i'd look for a shop to try to repair it, if not i really really recommend that you try your luck on craigslist.:good:

Here's my opinion. If it's in good condition otherwise, and you really like it (who wouldn't?), I'd definitely have it fixed professionally by Samsung if you can get it done for that $200. You'll have a brand new screen on a phone that can't even be a year old yet (that can be checked by serial number and it does not matter to Samsung if you bought it used) . If you try to sell it (high eBay fees as others have mentioned, and a lot of hassle) and start with another new or used Note, I think you're going to take a much bigger loss than $200. Even for people who carry AT&T insurance, the deductible is $200.
I'd call Samsung support direct to find out if that repair quote is available.
I will buy it off you lol

I just broke my screen and decided to use the insurance and for 200 got a new (refurb) phone with 1 yr warranty. I think 200 is a high deductible, but by telling them I lost it I could keep my broken one. Maybe get something back for the old one to soften the cost.

Broke my glass monday getting in the truck after being out on vacation. They locked my doors over the week (they are never locked) so i had to reach across to unlock the pass door (which i never have to do) and had my phone in my back pocket. I felt it get hooked on the door close knob in the door jam and when i jumped out to throw my **** in the pass side of the truck i pulled it out and almost fell down.
EVERY f%#^ng morning i load all my **** in the pass side and have my phone in my hand while getting in the truck and set it on the rag on the floor...... i am pissed off to no end

Is it a good deal? That depends on a lot of things. A lot of people seem to have a lot of complaints about this device. I won't go into detail because you can browse this forum and find them. In my case I don't have any real problems. This may be because I just don't use it in the same way as others do so I don't notice. I also have a later production unit. From what I've read, you can tell by the serial number. The oldest ones start with C1 where mine starts with C4. So for me it works fine for everything I need it for and for me $200 would be a good deal. You could get a new Nexus 7 for that or less but I really want the 10 inch screen so an N7 is not the one for me. So the answer is...it all depends.
What the guy above me said.
Except, if the serial number is a "B", serial number, leave. It's a trap.
Buy the Prime at a low price then exchange for a brand new Infinity, good deal!

They'd be able to see on the receipt that he didn't pay full price for it.
That's a great price considering some of us paid full price when it came out at least for me Christmas last year at 545 I believe and the keyboard for 150 then best buy will buy the tablet itself for 150 trade in I believe

You got a great deal. Prime normally sold for $499. You saved 300 dollars.
I would pay 200 for one as long as it booted and responded to touch input. Just to mess around with it.
Okay thanks for all the input guys.

My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months

Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

Can you tell me which one you bought? I need to buy one and I want to be sure to buy one that will work.
I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!
I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "
Kindest regards

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.
