s730 for sale as is $200

[bigflavor]

I need to get a phone now, my old job took their SIM back, and I'm kinda sick of the non-3G speeds I get in the US on T-mobile.

Selling S730 as is for $200USD vs. $530USD new (http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=157448) (the price is firm).

Problems: (it's not really horrible, but I must divulge the issues)
Alright... I'll be straight up... it's got some cosmetic problems.
-Small case crack no more than 1cm directly aligned with the home button and the green call button, by the underside of the slide-piece.
-dented speaker grate thing (speaker is absolutely fine)
-lower right scratch
-battery cover scratch
-top middle (near power button) scratched

What you can do: Buy and install a new case (black or gray) (http://cnn.cn/shop/s730-wings-c-277_457.html) = $70


The Good Stuff:
-The phone is awesome.
-I give you my SkyFire (http://www.skyfire.com/) beta account. :eek:
-Alcaline's WM 6.1 already flashed.
-NEMA 5-15 (http://images.google.com/images?q=nema%205-15) power cord (usb>adapter-ish plug) [that's the standard three-prong plug used North America)
-Original Box with nearly untouched manual and driver disc.
-I'll include a shiny/non-matte finish paperclip, a pen (black), a newspaper, a cup of hazelnut coffee (by mail) (lid included) (may leak) (non-premium blend) (optional), a gmail invite (just kidding, who wants that?).


Any takers?

I would buy but: I am in italy, would i have warranty? would the phone work here? Would cnn.cn ship here? Is installing a new case something you can do without having specific knowledge?

[bigflavor]

1) yes.
2) yes.
3) Yes, they ship worldwide.
4) yes. Instructions included. Warranty voided.

humm... i ain't gonna sell this thing huh? Maybe I should start lieing. Oh wait... I said that out loud. :(

If it is the Wings200 with US 3g hit me up and I'll probably take it.

Go back and read his first post, I draw your attention to the end of his first sentance, after the word THE and and before I.

I dont believe the Wings200 is out yet.

I'd take it if I didnt already have one... On the flipside which handset are you replacing it with? I would add a pic or two to show the lack of serious damage and that its still in good shape, tried ebay and other forums?

Hit me up in private pm, lets discuss it.

Hilarious.

I just bought a Touch from Sprint using the SERO (500 min + unlimited nights and weekends + "unlimited" data = $30/month). I would have waited for the Touch Pro aka HTC Raphael CDMA version, which is rumored to be coming to Sprint. But, knowing carriers, it probably won't be released until September 2009.

Pictures are a good idea. There really isn't serious damage.

I'm not in a desperate position for cash or anything (meaning $200 is more than fair, c'mon... i'm giving away Skyfire :D); and depending on the outcome of this thread, I may just end up keeping it if/when I travel to Europe. Maybe I'll craigslist it.

Thanks for the advice, man. I've added enticing items to the offer: a paperclip, a pen, a newspaper, and a cup of coffee.

OoOo, nice choice, I thought about getting the touch but was dying for a full keyboard and the dual wasnt out yet. How do you find the touchscreen for everyday use with finger and stylus? (I cant remember if that one had a little stylus or if I am just confused).

Throw in a rubber band and a shoe lace and maybe Mcgiver will buy it :p

How could I pay you? How would you ship it? Would you include the new case in the package?

:) sorry for these many questions.
