Good luck selling it. Im glad I sold mine when I did because today it was announced that quad core android phones to come in feb... So try to get rid of it ASAP before people start holding off for new devices.

Quad core Androids will get even worse battery life without adding much. Games run just fine right now so I don't see the reason to leave the GN for a quad core phone with software that will never be updated.

Love ICS but hated the hardware it's tied too.

You are going to really luv the sgs3 then, (as will most who use it :)

So you are a professional in the Android market (and have inside info)? or are you simply speaking from a different orifice than the rest of us?
If you got real info, please share the details, I wanna know about the new phones coming out next month :)

I believe I have about 250 posts. How come I don't see the Marketplace either??

I'm quite content with my current list of apple products but just curios :(

Software can never advance if you don't continue to advance the hardware.

I agree though the gn won't get much cheaper then it is until the next nexus device. Vanilla ics is the best android option for me.

So you're saying you found an iPhone 4S eh? Where at? I just asked this exact question on Anandtech and haven't received a reply to it yet. I've never had an iPhone, but I have owned several iPod Touches, and I feel like it's finally time to get rid of Android once and for all and get an iPhone, but no one wants this Galaxy Nexus!

Someone contacted me on Craig's list. We met up at a Verizon wireless store and he bought an iPhone 4s while there and then traded me. So I got a new one. Couldn't pass it up. You can sell the GN on eBay for more then $500 if in mint condition. Good luck. You will like iOS. The iPhone 4s is much smoother then any android phone I ever Owned.

You don't know where to look :)

try androidcentral or xda-developers. you will have no issues selling them. Going rate is around $450-$500 for them depending on the condition and whats included.

Awe. :( I'll never find that around here. Ughhhh. My Craigslist is dreadful when it comes to that kinds of stuff.

I've been trying on XDA for the past week and no one wants this device from me. :(

I don't understand this post. >_<

$399 is a wrong phone buddy

Probably because of no feedback. They have their own rules. Go for ebay

Well, I do have some feedback on XDA. I also have some feedback on HeatWare and eBay so I've provided that. I just don't understand. >_<

PM me the link I'll take a look. I've seen few of them sold there. I usually go in the following flow when trying to sell something:

CL
Forums
Ebay

one of them always sells

I've tried Craigslist. I've tried the forums. I haven't tried eBay yet because at the moment, I have no other way of getting an iPhone 4S since I'm on an employee account and can't purchase one yet. >_<

EDIT: Incidentally, I didn't realize I don't have PM privileges yet so can I just post the link here?

Was I wrong in assuming that that the phone OP wanted to trade was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G for Verizon?

I’m looking for a place to trade my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for an iPhone 4s.

I was just saying how lucky he was to get an iPhone as a trade, when the Nexus is now being offered for $99 on contract and $399 unlocked (assuming that the trader wanted to upgrade early). (Incorrect)

Perhaps the way I wrote that previous post was misleading; hopefully this one will clarify things! :)


NEVERMIND. Turns out that the link I had posted for the unlocked phone was in fact incorrect. MY BAD! :eek:

Sorry about that kalex!

hmm. The iPhone was my first smartphone back in 2007 and been with it until now. Have had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a few months now, And I want back. My tip to anyone that's going to try Android please keep the iPhone just in case.

Yeah I got a GNex for 2 weeks and ended up going back to my 4S and giving my sister the GNex which ended up getting stolen from her :p

They always come back, don't they? :D :D :D

Only a complete moron would give you a 4S for a Galaxy Nexus.
