There's already a new dualcore (Nazomi) leaked.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sami55:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Not official yet - so no price yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brockg:
Figure I could help some potential buyers out.

After reading on this forum that Target Mobile had the Galaxy S2 for $99 I decided to go to the store last night and check it out. Sure enough, they are $99. The saleswoman then asks what kind of phone i currently have/whether i am eligible for upgrade/etc.

I tell her that yes i'm eligible and I have a Captivate. She says "cool you should be able to get $95 on a trade-in"...

me: "uhh, really?" At this point I don't really believe her at all as I've never heard of such a thing with these phones and even if they do trade in i have no reason to believe they'd give me $95 for a used ~1.5 year old phone.

So she says "let me check it out on the CPU". She plugs in the info, comes back, and says "yep, you can get $95 for your captivate, and get the galaxy s2 for $5+tax.

My jaw probably hit the floor, after picking it up I ask her to show me the dotted line and I'm in.

So...for all you cappy owners, hit up Target Mobile!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erraz:
Was you're captivate rooted or romed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Thats... unbelievable. Im going to go try this out...

Thanks for sharing your awesome experience!

Edit: Target website is still showing the GS2 as $199. I also called a few local stores here in California and they all confirmed that the device is $199. Where did you see that Target was dropping the price to $99?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Or you could sell it for $200+ on craigslist
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i guess this really depends on the area. I'm trying to sell mine on craigslist and no one is even biting (and I'm selling it for less than $200)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] colbynmeghan:
I bought mine from Walmart last Friday. I always buy my phones from Walmart since I get alot free gift cards BC of my job.

I only came $2.69 out of pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brockg:
Hey Red5, I don't remember which thread I was in...but i was lurking a bit last week trying to make a decision on a phone and i saw someone posted that Target Mobile had the SGII this week only for $99.

I walked into the store last night and they had a price tag of $99...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Hmm, interesting. Maybe its regional. Thanks for letting me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
How I got my Galaxy S II for $5:

Stole it. Unfortunately a five dollar bill fell out of my pocket while I was running.

You forgot to include how much your bail-bond was. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Trade-In

I sold my cappy on eBay about 6 months ago for $250.

Right now they are selling em for about $200 bucks.

If your cappy is in like new condition with retail box,

no cracks, chips, scratches and all accessories which

it came with, you can get an easy $200-$225 bucks

even now on eBay.

So $95 bucks trade in is not a good deal at all unless there

is something wrong with phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brockg:
hmm interesting. Mine had quite a few chips on the back. It was laggy as hell and was rooted so i'll take $95.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] defnow:
In store only man. Online is the full $199.99.

Edit: Target deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jonathanhatch88:
The only Galaxy S II I saw for $99 was the Sprint Epic Touch 4g....:/

I hope it's true about that $99 deal for the in-store AT&T Galaxy S II though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
It's around $140 on Ebay for used.

$99 was in-store in Target. Best Buy was price matching too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mr_Armageddon:
I just sold my Captivate for $250 using craigslist in the Denver area. Granted it was unlocked and included an extra battery, but it was still a great transaction.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:
I sold my captivate for 200 also. Targets are now buying your old phones. obviously at a lower price but the thing is whether or not you want to deal with trying to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. Then you have to ship it or meet the person. It can become a hassle. I would of done the same thing knowing I could get a gs2 for 5 bucks right then and now. Not having to deal with or waiting for someone to buy my old phone. Great job in getting the phone for 5 bucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pokey9000:
$-3.

Ebayed my old N1 for $200, got back $165 after fees and shipping. Bought the GS2 from Target for $150, paid $162 after taxes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Yup! I got mine for $5 too!!!! Thank you!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sailador:
LOL...exactly.. that sales woman jacked you man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erraz:
Got mine for 58.61. I live in taxifornia
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cincy1020:
Yep, I sold mine on Ebay for $229 buy it now, about a month ago. Of course it had 2 cases (one like new bodyglove, and one used cheapie case), and an extra battery with it also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yahoowizard:
Mines chipped at the top near the headphone port and once near the USB charging port, but I'm including two spare batteries, battery charger, USB charger, the Body Glove case, + accessories that came along with original box. What price would probably be optimal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tspx23:
I bought mine for 260 unlocked and off contract :P. Not to mention it also came with 3 screen protectors, 3 cases, car charger, and hdmi out.

Then I went out to sell my sensation for 340 haha guess I got mine for -80? I'm thinking about picking up some ghost armor for lik 30 bucks.... hmm :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Sold my Captivate for $160. Prices are kind of low on Ebay and CL now but still not bad. Got the phone for $99 and should be pricematching it once the Black Friday deals are released (so far there will be a $50 Radio Shack deal).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Moxie3000:
The thing is that the trade-in process through Target/Radio Shack was so hassle-free, it's almost worth it just to be done with it - plus, I got the keep my headphones and charger, both of which work just fine on the SGS2.

As an added bonus, IF Radio Shack does put the SGS2 up on sale for $50 on Black Friday, I can get a price match. I doubt that the market price for the Captivate will remain steady in light of the various sales and deals that will be cropping up over the holidays.

No matter how you look at it, though, $5 or $12 (in my case) is not a bad deal at all for a flagship phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] encrypshun:
Just picked up my phone for 96 cents (yes you read that right). $0.96

There's a black friday flyer from Sam's Club that's touting the sale of the SGS2 for this price. I took the flyer, went into a local ATT store (where I bought my wife's iPhone), met the same sales guy who's the nicest fella, told him I was going to get it from Sam's club anyways for this price and I'd rather give the sale to him if he could match it.

He spoke to his manager, she agreed, their only caveat was I buy an accessory there, so picked up a car mount for $29 (which I intend to return in the next 2 weeks cause it just doesn't look good in the car).

Still a steal for such a hot ticket item :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zanson:
Gotta love the holidays.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
No go for me...

I just tried the same thing but it didn't work for me, they wouldn't budge, said AT&T strictly DOES NOT price match. After a couple minutes the guy went and got his manager who told me the same thing. Oh well.

If anyone knows of any AT&T stores in eastern Kentucky who will price match let me know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
It's very tough to get AT&T to price-match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] encrypshun:
Yes they didn't agree right away, they told me no at first, I just convinced the guy a little more, told him it'd be good for their numbers etc. etc. (being a small town and all), he went back and tried and she (the manager) agreed. I was very surprised as well. Though the sales guy did tell me NOT to tell anyone because ATT doesn't price match as a policy. I told him my lips are sealed. :D

I can post a copy of the invoice later to prove it if anyone would like to see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gamer1612:
I WANT IT!

I would very much like to see it. Maybe I can print it off and take it to my local AT&T store and see if they will pricematch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
For those of you who got the sgs2 for around $14 ($5+ tax), what state are you from. I did the trade-in deal at a target in Fresno, ca and they tax me on the retail price of the phone ($649) so my total was around $56 plus I have to pay an upgrade of $18. Did I get ripped off??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Artimus009:
They bent you over and didn't give you a reach around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
Is everyone else being taxed on the $99 price then? Also how did you guys get out off the $18 att upgrade fee ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roa57:
I got taxed for the phones full price as well, but I didn't have to pay for upgrade fee, I just talked to the sales guy and he waived it for me. Would I be able to get a price adjustment for the Galaxy S2, if I bring an ad back to Target Mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Moxie3000:
Try Target or Radio Shack. I was promised at Target that they would price match within 30 days of my original purchase. This includes Black Friday, during which we can supposedly pick up the phone for $50.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
Just a FYI for those wanting to do this trade. Just found out earlier that if you decide to return your SGS2 back within your return period, you WON'T get your captivate back, you will only get the money back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
On sale at AT&T?

Post here if you see that AT&T has the SGS2 as part of its Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals. They are offering some smartphones like the Atrix for a penny so I can only hope that they will have some sort of deal on the SGS2. If not, at least I only have another two weeks before I can upgrade at a retailer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Laughing Danny Elfman:
Could've known this before I paid full price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
Can anyone confirmed whether they were able to get target to price match radioshack's or Sam's club black Friday deals???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
looking for confirmation too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
I don't know about Target - but I just got mine this morning for $50 at the AT&T store - they matched the radio shack price. But I had to give them my Radio Shack flyer.:D

I will be seeing you guys over here more often in the REAL near future ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
Target said that they will not match blackfriday ads
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
What's up with all of these store and their price matching when there are pages of fine print exclusions.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I know, it makes no sense. Fine print is usually comes into play after you buy something, not prevent customers.

[Captivate General] lilbigdude1:
That's cool....one problem though if your phone breaks and you take it to an official AT$T repair center....your sale of that phone is not visable thus your warranty is no good, I learned this lesson the hard way....never buy an AT$T phone from anyone other than AT$T themselves....and they are good to their word I've bricked 4 cappies and took them all back and were traded in no questions asked

Yea thats not true at all.. I got my cappy at a walmart and was able to get it exchanged for a new one at an att store because my home buttons was all funky.
[Captivate General] rfound:
That seems like a pretty good trade in value for the captivate, considering there's no ebay fees on that, and its currently running around $110 on the bay at the moment. Nice work.

I'm personally still waiting for Nexus.

Confirmed in Orlando,FL through this Saturday - Don't call the 800 number on their web site, call your local store.

Like I stated before...I'm glad others have better luck than mine. I was curious about the whole phone trade in, so I went to the local at$t store and asked about. Yep they sure have it, then this extremely attractive sales associate proceeded to tell me that I would have to pay full price for the sg2 (549.00) hand over my cappy and wait 6 to 8 weeks for a gift card to arrive in the mail. Needless to say at that point she wasn't very attractive ....lol. I'm just gonna have to wait till next month for my upgrade.

Sorry I'm in the UK but I have family stateside.

Is this the price with a contract then on top or the all in price, is it the 3G version of the SGS2 and is it a non sim version?

Check back a few posts, I checked out Glendale and Burbank, the deal is gone. Best price I can find is roughly $250 and that includes a trade in. Fyi, retail on a S2 is $650 and even though some places list it at $150, you pay tax on the full retail price. That's law in LA county.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ell3:
You can try using netcat (command: nc) !

It should be on Android (i dunno if it's part of the stock or Busybox...)

It's also available for windows, and default in almost all *nix.

Open up a shell on both computer and android (this works from<->to any device so you can open on 2 androids or 2 pcs...). One will be the client and the other will be the server (doesnt really matter who is who)

start the SERVER first:

nc -l -p 5000

then on the other device CLIENT type

nc [I]<ip of server>[/I] 5000

then just type !

this is a very basic form of communication, it's in plain text (can be sniffed/tampered) but it's damn lightweight, effective and cross platform (though only a 2 ppl conversation is allowed, and there is no funky UI, just text based conversation).

I suggest you also do "man nc" or "nc -h" ... that's a damn useful tool born many years ago :)

IF

you need to connect more than 2 devices or have more control over the chat, you could use IRC as a messenger ! For windows, I could suggest setting up an ircd (one quick comes into my mind: bircd) that will act as a server, then use any irc client app to connect and chat. That's a lil more complicated but you see... there is not only one way, depends on your needs !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chatfan:
This is good, but there is NOT a simple command like the old "NET SEND" or something similar, or a easier server/client (a light one)...of course...always using WiFi network

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ell3:
What would best fit your needs ?

A notifier command-line system like NET SEND that sends alert popup on target pc or

a chat system with a gui that lets you send/recv messages in a conversation ?

And on what system should it run ? Win/OsX/nix/all ?

Other features requested ?

Some coder might take up this challange :)
