[OSUBlazerfan]

Anyone recommend the Tmobile G1??

Looking to spend 100-200$ on a used phone

Suggestions?

Really think im gonna get a G1

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

bro likes his G1 alot. get one with latest android OS on it though.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Meet me a Max station or Pioneer Courthouse Square, pick out someone whose phone you like and I'll get it for you for $200.

You might even get a couple of days free service out of it.

Is the OS downloadable? how does someone get the latest?

I just got a brand new myTouch 3G Slide for $179. Android 2.2, it's awesome. Why do you want USED phone?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Cause I dont want a new phone with a contract, and if i get a new phone without a contract its at least 500 bucks

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

doubt it. who knows.

blackberrys are good too.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

i have a blackberry now, ive had it for 2 years, but its pretty much destroyed by now

Android 2.2 is downloadable but you need to have root on your phone.

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

Keep in mind the hardware in the G1 is close to two years old. Just because you can download it doesn't mean it will run properly.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

all depends what you do. do you use Gmail alot? Androids are good for that.

I have a Samsung SPH-A500 I'll sell you for $100.00...

Exactly! Why not have a contract? You get a phone for cheap.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

FREEDOM to switch carriers!

Who cares about freedom to switch if your paying triple what I have to pay for the phone!

Hey, I'm not the one tied down to a contract!

i can get a new mytouch (not slide like urs) for 230, think im gonna get it

 

[THE HCP]

Hey, I'm not the one tied down to a contract!

How am I tied down? What makes you want to jump from provider to provider? Am I missing something? I have been with Tmobile for probably 10 years and have had no issues.

 

[THE HCP]

That's what I'm talking about. I just got the brand new slide running 2.2 for $179.00. Are you planning on jumping from Tmobile for a reason?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Im not gonna jump, i will get the mytouch prob and buy my fiancee a phone (full price) and then her and I will prob go on the month 2 month Tmob is offering

You talking about the Nokia 8801? Had mine for a couple years! Still have it in my desk drawer, favorite phone i've ever owned!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

You talking about the Nokia 8801? Had mine for a couple years! Still have it in my desk drawer, favorite phone i've ever owned!

yup. I have one too. Its the phone I use when I travel internationally.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

mine is the middle eastern version for some reason. holla!

 

[THE HCP]

It's cool seeing it randomly in movies.

 

[THE HCP]

Funny story! When I first got it, my boy Jarrett Jack saw it and freaked out. He tried buying it from me cause he couldn't find one anywhere. He made his agent buy one for him in LA and then walked around the other guys like he was some baller. Hilarious!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah, for a while I borrowed my boss' Vertu phone. thing kind of sucked technically and I was nervous having a $6,000 phone in my pocket. only used a few days.

saw it on Entourage once. funny shit.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm going to get the Motorola Aura one of these days! Google it fams!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

there used to be another motorola that was similar to the aura in design. my brother, who works in the industry told me that it was marketed towards teh gheys.
