Samsung USA offering $220 cash if you trade-in your HTC Rezound

**geneod** · 07-20-2012, 01:32 AM

Has anybody gone for this deal yet? I'm still deciding on whether or not to do it. It seems like a win win for me. It seems hit or miss if the GS3 is better than the Rezound. I'm wondering if anybody has gotten any further and has read what has to be sent to the company. Charger, headphones, sim card, sdcard etc.

The OP has another thread where he sold his rezound for $185, AND then found this. VZW gave him $185 on the trade it. He did not have to give up the headphones or the sd card. You just turn in the phone I believe. Since pretty much all phones (except crapple) use Micro USB, they don't require chargers to be sent in anymore. I don't know about you, but we have about 6 or 7 micro usb cables around.

If? No 'ifs' when comparing the two. I immediately saw the superiority on day 1. I was happy to keep the Rezound as a backup or give it to my wife, but I couldn't pass up $220 - especially when I only paid $50 for my Rez back in April!

Unless you want to make a call....then it appears the ReZ wins hands down. I do agree that the SGSIII is a heck of a device

This looks like a good deal, but I'll wait until the first Advanced LTE phones come out.

Please tell me more about this. What other deals are you talking about? I have a Rezound and a Thunderbolt is there a way to combine so I can get more towards the samsung galaxy?

If I were to do this, I have $50 from a best buy program and now the 220 from Samsung....I think that is what they mean by combining deals.

do you find the 50 dollar deal on the best buy website? And does this mean you would need to buy it from best buy?

no there was some kind of promotion back in February you had to sign up for. Yes, to get the 50$ you have to buy it from them

**ShaggyKids** · 07-24-2012, 11:11 AM

This is a really good deal, but I want the samsung galaxy note and you can't use that on verizon. Bummer.

So...if I wanted to take advantage of this, and don't have an upgrade, how do I go about it?

You'll have to purchase the S3 or Note off-contract.

Darn. Thanks.

**ShaggyKids** · 07-30-2012, 01:02 PM

Ok -- will this deal work if I purchase the GSIII from the Marketplace here on the boards or eBay or something? Or do I have to get it from a store or online like direct from VZW or Samsung?

**Issemann** · 07-30-2012, 02:31 PM

I believe you can purchase it from anywhere. This will work even if you already have a qualifying device. That's what I did. After getting my S3, I logged into Sammy's website and entered my ESN (as evidence that I purchased the device).

**ShaggyKids** · 07-30-2012, 02:50 PM

This is so tempting. I have my Rezound and I have my Thunderbolt which they stated would be a $45 dollar check on top of a $220 check when I put in for the quote 1 device after the other. That would take it down to about half price. I found a GSIII on ebay for 479 dollars. Now I just have to go back and find the posts on how to determine if your buying from a reputable dealer/person on ebay and seems to me there are some other things that need to be done when you buy a phone on ebay. Like making sure to buy a phone that works on my carriers service. I've never bought a phone on ebay before so I want to be sure to do it right if I buy it there.

**piizzadude** · 07-30-2012, 03:14 PM

yeah you want to make sure it is a clean ESN number

**dpham00** · 08-05-2012, 09:07 PM

anyone have problems retrieving the old quote? it lets me retrieve it, but then it takes me back to the page to get a new quote. i ask because the current rezound value has dropped to $200.

Same thing happened to me. HOWEVER, if you go to the Login/Check Status link instead and use your quote ID, you'll get the original quote.

I wonder if I could use the esn from a friends phone?? LOL

I would rather buy the unlocked Nexus from Google...

Would this apply if I bought an S3 from ebay or craigslist instead of buying new from verizon? Because I refuse to buy another phone on contract from Verizon because they will take away my unlimited data however if I can use this on a ebay bought phone then I would only need to pay an additional $200 which is the same price as buying them on contract.

**fminusfminus** · 08-27-2012, 04:23 PM

My status changed recently. I don't think it'll be too long now.
