Hey guys,
Just wondering when do you guys think is the best time to sell your s3 before upgrading to Galaxy S4.
So that you don't lose too much value of your handset before the next model is announced

honestly this phone is pretty decent. i guess if you are the like of those who are always on latest then you can sell it when the S4 is announced. if you sell it before that no one may buy coz of high value. but when the next comes the price will drop and some people will get interested about it. for me as i said its pretty decent and i think i won't sell it for another 5 yrs before i change phone again.
Only thing this phone is lacking, imho is the 2gb ram.
I reckon the best time will be when you are ready to buy the S4
Seriously...what kind of a question is that?
To late price has dropped now if you look around for new phone .

I can now upgrade from T mobile.
Vibrant is free at T mobile.
You think it's worth to get it? its free !!!
or wait for a month for 4G?
or even more (maybe 3~4 more months) for Galaxy S2?
Looks like every other month, we will get a new model anyway
What do you think?

What do you need a phone for? By that I mean do you want it to be a gamer?
Run cool apps. a dependable gps? a great music player? What does your phone need to do or what do you need to do with it? Remember every few months a new and maybe better phone will come out.
important question is what do you have now

I suggest to wait until the 4G otherwise you'll be stuck on a two year agreement. And two years from now there will be much better devices out there that will make the Galaxy S2 look like the G1! So do you really want to be stuck with 3G for another two years?
I'm kicking myself in the @$$ because I got all eager to get something better than the G1 when I hit my 1 year mark so I got the MyTouch 1.2 so guess what... I'm on contract until December 2011. No free phone until then. So do you think that I'll just stick with a MyTouch when everyone else walks around with a AMOLED 1ghz device? Hell no! I checked out craigslist and paid $250 for my Vibrant. It's much better than my G1 and MyTouch and I didn't have to commit to another contract so come December... I can get the Galaxy S3 or whatever is new on the market for little if nothing at all.
Just my $0.02
I'd absolutely wait for the galaxy S2, the Samsung vibrant is a dinosaur at this point and belongs only in a museum.

I was also under contract until October 2011 with a MyTouch and I just got the Vibrant for free (with a contract extension). I am willing to bet that there will be similar deals a year from now before my contract ends.
It also depends how much money you want to spend. You can get the current Vibrant for free, the Vibrant 4 for $199 or wait for the S2 which will probably be at least $199.
For me the only option would be the current Vibrant or the S2. I get the same speeds as everyone I know that has the MyTouch 4's and G2's. 4G is highly overrated right now. So unless there are other features that haven't been released I would be paying $199 for a FFC and sometime down the road faster network speed.
After seeing the MyTouch 4G I feel that my Vibrant was a steal for $0. It had a custom ROM from day one so I have no idea what the stock system is like. I couldn't be happier with my current setup.
No question wait for sgs2, dual core, 4.3 inch samoled plus screen. Its gonna be awsome.
Fear the beard...
Well, Im using BB Curve. Its good for texting and emailing.
but internet and others are very limited.
Do you think Galaxy S2 will be at T mobile?
How about Optimus 2X? Is this coming to T mobile as well?
Thanks
Hey Guys, is US $300 a good price for a couple of months used SGS 2 international version? I thought I will wait for the SGS3 but I feel like it would be release only after 4 months or so and will be affordable only after another 2 months. Any opinions /suggestions or can I get it cheaper anywhere else? The phone is in good condition.
yes, it is a good price, i doubt that you will find it any cheaper anywhere else.
new goes for 400 - 450.
Yes, it is a good price. I think it is a good option.
Even if you did want to sell it for a SGS3 in the near future it would probably retain its value better than most other phones on the market.
You'd get most of your money back.
There are rumors that the S3 will be launched this April. Im interested in getting the S2 now but it costs US$579. Should I wait until April? Do you think that the S2 will get down to US$449 after the S3 is released? Thanks.
It will become cheaper. But how much, nobody knows.
S3 won't be out in April I reckon bit later so you maybe waiting a bit, try and pick one up second hand in good condition.
Prices s/h have fallen quite a bit here in the UK compared to new sim free.
I'd suggest looking at SGS1 pricing, particularly if you can get historical info, since you know when the S2 came out... That should give an idea, but IMO samsung phone tend to hold a high residual value. The SGS1 is still £200 iirc
I think I'd prefer the International version instead of the S4 processor. I'm mostly if not always on Wi-Fi so I don't think 4G LTE will matter much to me.
I'm wondering what others have done in the past and am curious about your experience on buying international phones? Did you guys wait a few months for the price to go down? Where did you purchase your international version of your phone? Etc.
Any advice would be great. Thank you.

I have purchased two SGS IIs and my Note USED from US buyers after they had been around a few months. I would not be considered an"early adopter" by any stretch. More of a "wait and see" who is unhappy with their device and wants to sell. I usually buy when the price hits $150 - $200 below retail new.
I don;t worry about warranties because I am going to void it anyway if I purchased new.
Seems this one will have a few more available. LOL I like it and will lilkely get one later this Spring or early Summer. Development will be in full force and the ROMS should stabilize and the major issues will be resolved .
Not until a device gets in the MAS market do the warts show up. Samsung cannot possibly beta test like thousands of early adopters.
My advice would be WAIT....and see how the people who LIKE it now will feel about it after a few months and What developers develop for it. .
Don't be swayed by those who hate the "design" Use your phone from the inside out not the outside in. I ended up with a White Note because it was available and priced right and hated how attention getting it was and skinned it with a dark decal. Made it look less obtrusive.
Personally I think its better to wait a couple of months for the price to go down. Money isn't something we should spend so lightly, especially on a phone that will be as capable as others.
$1 gets you a reply
Also wait for people to start posting problems with their screens like the Note which was a huge headache.

In my experience, eBay is overpriced for international version. Craigslist is cheaper but unlikely you find an international version. I never tried buying from overseas websites.
I'm lucky enough to visit Hong Kong every summer. Probably pick up s3 there. Though the prices are high I might have to wait... (expecting $600 s2 was about that when I went last year) Annoyed it might not work with T-Mobile though.

Hey guys, I've been planning on upgrading my phone which is literally like 6 years old some lg slider type of phone for texting.
I was planning on getting the S2 (international since I'm in Canada) even after knowing the release of S3. One reason was to save money $0 for S2 and 150 for S3 on a 3 year contract. But the main reason was the hardware, I know the cpu is pretty on par with the international exynos quad core but the gpu seems to fall short right? Not to mention they took out the Wolfson sound chip which I was really anticipated on since I rather just use my phone as a multimedia player than buying for example a cowon mp3 player.
The thing thats really holding me back is I guess the gpu. I own an ipod touch and never in the world did I think would be playing games on such a small device but nevertheless, it kills time pretty quickly and keeps me from being bored throughout the day or at work.
I just wanted to know if anyone who has the American variant of the S3, are the current games graphically looking and fluidity decent enough even though it uses a Adreno 225? Is it worth getting the S3 with the Adreno 225 than the S2 with mali400? Just curious if the Adreno 225 performs better than the S2's mali400.
If not, I'll probably just stick to getting the S2 and maybe wait to import the international or just wait it out for the next "S4" or the next "big" thing aside from apple's iphone .
Thanks guys!
S2 is year old phone, go in S3 forum and ask what games and stuff works...
Try to get an S2 off-contract it's gonna save you some cash because you won't be stuck in a 50$ contract and you can change phone anytime. I got mine brand new for 450$ in January you can find some for 300$ now. I tried the S3 and it's now big of an upgrade. It's up to you if you

I always, wondered what kind of plan people would get with a bought outright phone? Like in canada the texting plans are 20-30 with no caller id/voice msg. And to get that is like another 15 dollars, and if you want data atleast another $10 for 100mb or so. In the end won't it be the same price as the normal $50 ish plans????
