$400 Galaxy S3. Should I buy?

[Kgor93]

So I've been going through listings on eBay looking for a Galaxy S3. Anyway, I usually put in a low bid (around $400 or so) in case 1 listing fell through the cracks. But it didn't work.

However, today I got a notice that I have a second chance on a listing. Apparently the winning bidder didn't pay and now I can buy it if I want. It's $400 for a Galaxy S3 on AT&T (brand new). Wanted to see what you all thought. I like the S3 but have been on the fence from buying one because I wanted to see what the next-gen iPhone will bring first, but this might be too good to pass up.

No question here. You can sell for 600 if you don't want it...

I might. I need the T-Mobile version though... Even though I'm on AT&T now, I'm in the process of moving to T-Mobile.

Any other opinions?

Is it not compatible with both? LTE on one and HSPA+ on the other? Not overly familiar with the different versions.

The ATT S3 will only be compatible with 2G edge on T Mobile. Once their network refarming gets finished it should work with 3G.

T-Mobile's HSPA+ band is 1700mhz. The one one the AT&T branded S3 is 1900mhz. T-Mobile's S3 has both bands so it can work on AT&T but the AT&T can't work on T-Mobile.

These phones are the first of any phone to have a quad core processor and I bought one myself a couple months ago. They are worth their weight in gold and I paid 400 dollars for mine with a 3 year contract so don't miss the boat and grab that phone immediately. They are very very fast and you will absolutely not believe how fast they can download apps. Good luck and enjoy the phone if you make the purchase.

The next generation iphone will bring at least 2 times the price you are paying for this device and I honestly don't think it will be as fast as the S3 but will have some attributes that the S3 does not have.

I don't mean to say that you are wrong but I have an S3 with tmobile and a 4g sim card running 4g on my device and it is blazing fast to say the very least.
