Rezound users pre ordering gs3 - HTC Rezound

Just curious if anybody was pre ordering the galaxy s3 so as to take advantage of the last opportunity to upgrade with subsidized pricing with out being shoehorned out of your unlimited data plan Sent from my high res rez using Tapatalk 2

Nope...not 1 user is going to pre-order.
If it were me honestly I would upgrade to an iPhone 4S and sell it for $500+ unopened and keep my Rezound.

I will if they let me pre order 7 months earlier than my scheduled upgrade date, haha

I'm going to pre order it and sell it unopened for $700, that it's projected value should be. Doesn't make sense to buy a 9 monthold phone and sell it for less than the gs3.

why would it sell for 700 when you can just buy it without contract for 599. But Im thinking about buying one, seems like all the rezound devs are leaving, and I get bored with nothing to flash lol.

No line to do it but my second line, when I can... I'm grabbing one.

You realize the full cost of the phone without subsidy is less than $700 right? You won't get more than $500-$550 for an unopened iPhone or GS3.

Who cares, this is not the GS3 forum...

Hi guys,
Sorry for oot (rather than i make a new thread),but i really need your input about rezound.
I'm planning to have one,but i have a little doubt on it.
I know that rezound has a high clock cpu but it is a bit outdated than S4 or omap 4460,will this perform well until years ahead?
I read somewhere in this forum that developers are leaving,is that true? (i'm a flashaholic)
Since cdma operator is cheaper than gsm,and i have not much option to choose a good cdma/global phone in here,so what do you guys thinking?
Really appreciate for your input.
Thanks

There are Sense 3.6 roms/ Sense 4.0 roms, a MIUI rom, and ROMs that attempt to de-sense as best they can and use Apex for an AOSP feel.
While it is true that we don't have many devs left, HTC should release the ICS kernel source and rumor has it that AOSP/AOKP/CM9 could get RIL working with the kernel source. I shouldn't get your hopes up too much for that happening though because the one person who said he would do that got mad and left. Whether he decides to release it is up to him.

I preordered it. I got my rezoned on my sisters line because she didn't order a phone for 2 years (serious). My line has been free since March. I'll keep which ever one I like more but if the GS3 battery is way better that will be enough.

I may. So much infighting, off topic, and red hot developer on developer action here, with few updates on the few remaining roms.
Then there's all the developers being pushed away by the negativity too.
I'm not saying it won't be any different on the other phones, but it should have a really big following.
I was hoping for CM9 months ago, to finally get all of my devices on one ROM, but that looks like it won't happen anytime soon.
I can afford it these days.
Love my Rezound though.

Yea not to mention our cdma phones' gsm international counterparts always sell for higher since there is a greater, international demand for them and they are not locked to the united states only for the most part. Anyone thinking they'll get more than $500 for this phone is dreaming. I don't care if its mint or unopened, I'd still rather get it from my initial order than second hand if I'm going to spend that money.

The S3 is massively inferior to the S4. How much it matters though, I dunno. The Rezound unfortunately is old news, and devving is petering out.
I ordered a GS3. Wanna use my upgrade before the 28th.

Already pre ordered. The rezound has been great but the S3 is so powerful... I can't wait to see what the developers can do!!

Forgot to add I'm buying it at subsidized price so I'll make around 500$ profit. Also I was gonna get the 32GB one so I rounded up. So if you wanna get technical $649.99--semantics my friend. Hopefully the phone gets sold out and brings up the price of the phone, too. Bet you anything that'll happen.

I may preorder as well haven't decided yet but probably just to use last upgrade before unlimited data ends and trade sgiii for something else down road

I might pre-order one, then sell it.

Where are you going?

Which device are you going to upgrade to? I just ordered my thunderbolt from Verizon. I'm hoping to have it by Monday and I'll miss the devs here but this phone just isn't enough for me anymore
The Eris was free, and my next phone will be free. Probably the T-bolt when I can upgrade mid-september.
Sent from my ERIS GSBv2.1 using XDA Premium App
Unless some other phone that's somehow way better and more worth it comes out and becomes really cheap by my upgrade next February, I'm going with the Thunderbolt.
I got my Eris when Verizon was having the Buy 1 get another free deal.
I'll probably do the same once my plan renews by the end of the year (November-ish)
As to which android phone? It all depends what phone deals they have but it'll most likely be an HTC phone
Got another 6 months to go, but right now it's looking like the TBolt.
Added a poll!
I'm not eligible until September so I'd like to hold out until then, however, the scare of an end-date on the unlimited data package has got me tempted to pay a visit to one of the VZW stores and see if I can manage to get an early upgrade (not going to hold my breath on it).
If I upgrade early then obviously a TB, otherwise I'll wait and see the other offerings when my time comes in September.
I'm probably going to wait out my contract so that I can renew with a one year contract. Waiting 20 months for a new phone with a handset that has a one year manufacturer's warranty is not worth it, I've come to decide. My 20 month upgrade date is in August - if Verizon lets me renew with a 1 year contract then, that's probably when I'll do it; if not, I'll wait until the contract is up in December. Either way, I've got time to decide.
Why would you put the iPhone in the poll? Surely none of us are traitors to our Android fanboyism
Ehh, Its to show that even though people will jump to android from iOS, no one would to iOS from android
I tried out the Thunderbolt, and it's blazing fast. The shape of it takes a couple minutes to get use to holding though.
I'm loving this Thunderbolt lte is crazy fast and the phone makes the eris look and feel like a toy.

I am leaning towards either the TB or the LG Revolution. Definitely not a Samsung or an Ithing.

Im thinking about buying a used Droid 2 till my contract is up next year. Nothing really catches my eye TOO much. Don't need dual core or LTE (although my area is covered). If Verizon were getting the LG Optimus Black then I'd upgrade early but eh.

DOH! Please don't send the Steve Jobs minions down on me! Good catch, I must've been tired.
Why would anyone consider the iThing... 800mhz processor, last years technology, on a 2 year contract.. kind of shooting yourself in the foot with that.
I myself am highly interested in the LG Revolution as long as it is not over priced. The Tbolt looked nice but I had 2 concerns, battery and price. 250 is a tad steep. If they put the LG in at 199 I am jumping on that bad boy or maybe if the lower the Tbolt price in store to 199. There is no LTE in my area and probably will not be for some time so I have not ruled out the incredible 2 either.

Trust me, LTE compliments any fast phone. Why wait for the download to finish on 3G? That would be just as fast as any eris. The thunderbolt can download and install an app on 4G in a matter of about 3 seconds. Love my thunderbolt

Pre Order At Best Buy

It official, Best Buy is taking pre orders I called my Best Buy and they confirmed. This is going unannounced for now according to a Best Buy letter. Here is the link.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
BB is now my first stop when I get off work.
Still trying to decide between this and NS4G....
It sounds stupid but software wise the nexus will be dominant but Evo's Hardware kills.....
So im not pre ordering till i find out everything is unlocked and isn't encrypted like the boot loader

E3D Is where its at
Finally realized that.
That's what XDA is for right? I think a few devs are moving from Evo to Evo 3D, so there will probably be quite a few stable roms after the release.
As far as a bootloader, maybe someone will crack it? I only hope HTC and Sprint aren't going down that road.
I'm wondering what they are going to want you to put down on it.

I've got $10 gift card to use towards something there! How much is the phone when you pre-order? $200 with 2yr contract?
Sprint is also doing the instant rebate until June 4th, and i think the E3 is comming out on the same day? I guess my safe bet is just to go with Best Buy.

Really??? I only thought that T-Mobile was the only one that did that (at least in Puerto Rico, T-Mobile lets you get any phone and split the total cost in 4 payments that get added to your next 4 billing statements). If Sprint does this, then this is a no-brainer.
Pre Ordered Last Night
Pre ordered my EVO 3D last night from the Best Buy on 23rd and 6th ave in NYC.
The store on 62nd and Broadway hadn't heard about it and were a bit ignorant (told me TMO Nexus S works on any carrier, including Sprint and Verizon. Argued it had GSM and CDMA radio in it...)
The pre order cost me $50, which they put onto a gift card and had me fill out a small paper with name and phone number which they entered into their system.
Also, they didn't check my current sprint account.
Hope that helps anybody curious about the process. Very quick and simple when the store is aware of the EVO 3D pre order!

What am i wrong about ?

I'd still have to pony up $400 for a GSIII, not worth it IMO.
Upgrade for me, $50. Also tempted.

Probably not losing as much as you think. Plus if you buy all the accessories and S crap they'll be making bank $$. $200 for Rezound $130 for Nexus sounds legit loool.
I'm also skeptical about this, got email from samsung and decided to search on xda and here i am. For my rezound its 200, but they are also offering $135 for my Hero S. Is this legit?
$15 for my Fascinate. Wowza. $200 for the Rez wouldnt be bad if we could get the GSM Nexus from google, but it wouldn't do much good if still w/ Verizon.
Before you guys get all excited about this, you should go to the Verizon S III forums and read about the issues that phone has. Horrible signal reception, locked bootloader, as well as other issues.

Still doesn't solve the fact that Samsung has crap radios. I have my Droid Charge as a backup still and it is night and day in radios compared to HTC phones. Unless you go GSM, forget about it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
This is interesting...it appears Samsung is going for market penetration with the phone and trying to get as many people on the phone as they can, then allowing customers to sell to customers. Only downside I've heard is the signal quality, and even that I've only heard about on the forums. I can't tell you how many people I know have switched to the GS III. And every one of them is just giddy about their new GS III. This is people who previously couldn't care less about their phone, very non-technical. At least in my smallish circle, it's quickly becoming the iPhone of Android. Wonder if that's Samsung's plan...
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy with my Rezound with no intention of changing. Just making an observation.

Retail Device Discussion

Ok guys i have been off contract with sprint for like 6 months and I've bought every EVO (Flagships) since the OG. What I exactly is the benefit of buying retail? I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.
***I Just Woke Up... Tell Me Where The Drugs At***
Not dead here man. Not everyone is bouncing to the One. HTCO is not inferior cause s800 won't be out until the end of the year, probably the Verizon "One" will get it but not Sprint, ATT and T-Mo. Sprint lets you upgrade every 18 months nowadays, not as good as 1 yr with Premier but still better than 22 months like the competition.

I hate when people make comments like that when their only contrbutions are discussion and picture posting threads..
+1 for youdug. Development for this device is in high gear. There are a ton of roms in active development, both Sense and AOSP. You want to see a dead phone? Head over to the Optimus G forums. There's nothing going on there despite being a higher-specced phone.

Well maybe dead was too strong, but idk... I just don't have the motivation. Since Virus left and now Mikey I'm just sitting on Viper. The Sense 5 looks nice, but I rarely flash ports. CMX and all the others AOSP roms are nice... PAC has my interest most, but sound quality kept me from CMX.1 again. I can't stand not having the latest and greatest either. I want the One, but S600 just can't compare with the big beasts like T4 and S800 eventho they aren't released.
Could someone tell me the benefit of buying retail tho?

I dont see a benefit. If youre gonna be with sprint for the next two years i say take the subsidized price and sign the contract. You can always cancel later and pay the etf and youll still save $100+.

Yeah youd lose both. But if you sign right back up with them im not sure if you could just get the number back or if it goes into a hold state for an amount of time. Idk. Im sayin if youre gonna be with sprint for the forseeable future why not just get the discounted phone. Do you plan on jumping to att, verizon, or tmobile? You can always buy retail while youre on contract so why not take the contract and get a phone cheaper if youre gonna stay with sprint anyway.

Maybe T-Mobile might be worth looking at if they have decent coverage in your area. You can get the HTCO for $100 without signing up for 2 years . I know you pay $20 a month but still seems like a good deal .
Regarding S800. I'm sure its a beast but how much more computing power do you need when you look at the ONE's benchmarks. 12k on quadrant or something ridiculous like that

Does it really matter that the s800 or whatever has better specs? Android)/apps won't be optimized to use it for a long time and its not like you're going to be compiling code on your phone.

The reason I don't want to be on contract is just because how this economy is... Yes I work a good job now, but what happens if I fall on hard times and can't afford the bill? I don't want to be in debt because sprint 4g blankets my house.

Just was evaluating plans on T-Mobile etc and thought about my last decisions regarding phones. I don't think I'm really saving anything with Sprint . 4G in my area is good, 3G still blows, but I kinda feel like it'd be a mistake to shell out $700 this time.

Is it a good choice to go with? Let me know your thoughts.

No, too many hardware issues and crappy build quality.
Get an iphone. They are very user friendly.
Yes is awesome

Let's not turn this into a trollfest
Either recommend the phone or not
Obviously the OP has the opportunity to get one and wants to know if he should or not
Thanks

I've always bought a new phone every year until I got my Gnote. I've had it 1.5 years and still impressed with it!

I must say the phone has its ups and downs. If you can get it off contract for a good deal I would say go for it. If its a contract then I would save some more and get something newer

as RQUIETT stated, yes this phone has its ups and downs as they all do.
I got my Infuse for 1 penny as a refurb and never had issue one with it. after Thanksgiving, I got my Note and 2 S3's for under $100, also refurbs.
well worth the money.
between contracts, data plans and need accessories and their availability, that's up to you. in my opinion, XDA is the one that keeps us current and keeps our Notes looking and feeling new and up to date
With the latest JB update, the phone is alot zippier. The hardware is still nowhere near the new phones, but it is more than enough for regular/daily use. And as mentioned before, there will be new updated ROMs to keep this phone going.
It sounds like OP is fine with the screen size, so if the price is reasonable (considering how old this phone is), I would recommend it.
Just note that the resale value might drop alot once the new Note 3 comes out later this year.
Ok thanks guys. I found it used. A family member will sell it to me for $150 and the note has no screen scratches and light scratches on the body. What do you guys think? Is it at a good price?

Yes. In Vancouver Canada, you can flip it for at least $250.
Sounds like a deal! I bought one with one case for $300 and another with a few cases for $210. Hell, I'd buy another if I saw it for 150.

Ok thanks. It's $150 for me only considering he's a family member. I'll buy this phone then.
