Phone Suggestion on par with Amaze

[shuvarts]

So... after using the Amaze for some months... I basically drop it, broke the edge of the screen (usable, just a bit annoying seeing a line at the right edge on the search button), and accompanied with some small problems. Although as you guys can see on the picture, the crack is not that bad; but kind of unpleasant. Since I love trying new phone, I am thinking of trying another phone if there is an option while getting rid of the annoyance.

Long story short, I am thinking of selling the phone and get another phone to play with... But, here's the catch... I don't want to spend too much just for playing with new phone (so no s3 or one x/s for me) and it needs to work on t mobile 4g.... I can't really think of any phone other than Amaze that fall that have a beast spec like 1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, and fantastic camera and still within the 200-300 range (even s2 in my area's craigslist is still about 300+)... I'm just trying to see if there is anything on par with amaze in terms of spec vs price.... If I got no other option, I might sell my amaze and get another amaze... But, who knows someone here have an idea...

Lastly,... What price do you guys suggest to sell this phone on craigslist with a not perfect screen (assuming I can throw an extra battery and back cover)? Most listing in my area range from 250-320....

Well my amaze is pristine like I just pulled it out of the box and people don't even want to pay $270....

So om thinking since yours has a crack it will go for a lot less

The next best thing to the Amaze (besides the one s) would be the Sensation. Specs are not as good (but close) as the Amaze but it should be with in your budget on Craig's list. And there is a lot of support for the Sensation.

I also think that way... I am thinking of selling it around 200-220 range because it's still usable and if you replace the screen, it will cost about $50 for the screen.... Plus, the price around my area still goes for 270-320. Do you think that's reasonable?

It's pretty decent since I played with it for a few weeks... But, the camera on Amaze is better and I just want to use different phone with my brother. lol. It's a bit of a downgrade too...

This...! I want to but there is no used gsm galaxy nexus in my area and the new one cost 350+tax which is about 150 bucks more for a slower processor and worse camera (with faster update though)...

My screen is WAY worse than that, shattered from the bottom right corner to about half way up the screen, still works fine tho. I have some pics in my "i'm back!" Thread. Ne ways, I had it on craigslist, I wasn't going to sell it but I just wanted to see what I could get if i decided to, and someone was gonna buy it for $100, so u should have no problem getting two hundred for yours.

Ya... I actually just re-check on ebay and the screen digitizer cost only 26 bucks... So, if that person is diligent enough to change it, that will be a damn good deal (for you $100 case)... So I suppose 200ish will be fair enough. lol.. I guess I will try to sell it first and get a new phone afterward (and use my old faithful g2 while searching )...

Anyway,... I suppose there isn't much of a choice because of t-mobile 1700 2100 freq...

I work at an electronics repair shop and I will say, some android phones are a total ***** to replace the digitizer on. You will see most phones get a digitizer/LCD combo because it is so much harder to do just the digitizer.. but if you think you can do it, that small a price for a digitizer will increase the value much more than trying to tell THEM to do it.
If you like your amaze and you're willing to keep it.. most repair shops should be willing to do it for between 30-50 if you provide the part - don't break it again and you can sell it for more money later anyways when a phone WORTH upgrading to had finally come out. Otherwise you wanting good hardware specs and good picture quality makes me say you should just fix it. But that's just my 2¢.
