Hi everyone. I am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or the HTC One Max. I want to see how much the Galaxy Note 2 was when it came out last year. How much was it unlocked when it released last year? Also how much was the HTC One unlocked when it came out earlier this year. I just want to know so I can get a rough estimate.

I just bought my first Samsung Android phone, Galaxy S III (Sprint). Historically I've been brand loyal to Samsung, but I've went with the HTC EVO line for the past two years because I thought Samsung didn't release Android updates in a timely fashion. Is this still the case? How likely is Samsung going to release Jellybean for the S III and when?

Since this is the variant, it will definitely be slower than the international version. Most are quick to blame Samsung but thats not really the case. It does take time for them to come out with the update (no different than HTC or anyone else), but the carriers are normally to blame for the later releases. ON my international Galaxy S 2, we could get leaked updates fairly quickly through samfirmware but the variants do take considerably longer. The variant SGS2 just got ICS in the past few months where my international SGS2 had it month upon months before that. Lets hope that since our variants are very similar, that it may be much quicker than a year this time. Fingers crossed
From my experience, Samsung comes out with updates quickly. The carriers take forever to release and add their bloat ware.

Damn carriers! I remember my Sprint EVO 4G getting Gingerbread relatively quickly (2 - 3 months) and being shocked. But my EVO 3D still hasn't gotten ICS after 14 months. Looks like Sprint has started slacking big time which probably means the even slower Samsung update timeframes won't ever produce an update
Can't be any slower then Motorola can it?

I am eligible for an upgrade (T-Mobile), but I don't need a phone (loving my GNex). Which would be a better phone to upgrade to then sell for a profit?
HTC One S ($149)
Galaxy SII ($149)
Galaxy SIII 16GB ($249)

My son bought a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 at a yard sale. Turns out he needs a Sprint-branded phone, so he's going to try and sell this one. It is currently not activated, not under contract, does not have any outstanding payments against the prior owner, and has a SIM card.
How can we "carrier unlock" it so that he can sell it for a higher price?
I know you can unlock it by using some apk's but that info its on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 section, this section is for Verizon Galaxy Note 2
Phones is like 4-5 years old, you arent going to get much more outta it....its more of a bonus if it is rooted and unlocked bootloader, not carrier. People buy Nexus brand phones for that (+ others)
So I live in India and a person is making an offer of 3.5k for his old and used galaxy s2.
Non-rooted.
So is it worth it or I can go with something low.
