Best place to buy a Verizon 6800, going rate....

DougWare · #1 (**permalink**) 08-22-2008, 04:32 PM

Currently I have an Apache running WM6.1. I love it, but I would love to have some of the features of a 6800 (better camera, integrated GPS, etc).

Where's the best place to pick up a used 6800. E-Bay seems to be full of new Moguls, and I would love a gently used one instead. What's the going price? Should I be able to pick a decent one up for ~$150?

I have Verizon's insurance program, but I don't know about getting an upgrade through them...

Anyone here who has gone from a 6700 to a 6800, I would love to hear your impressions of the differences (speed, memory, etc...).

Thanks!

Dont know about where to find a good deal on a 6800 but i did upgrade from 6700 to 6800 so i'll give u my two cents. i found the phone as an all around outstanding improvement from the 6700. from the internal memory to simple things like how easy it is to slide up, etc. compared to the 6700. the gps is great once you get the radio upgraded and what not. way better phone. oh yeah no huge antenna either and much much thinner

$150 for existing customers thru best buy per my thread in this forum. $50 for new.

I got Verizon to price match, and got a $100 rebate as a result.

Yup, that's a great deal!

When I get tired of mine in a few months, I'll definitely be selling it on the bay - probably will get $250 or so for it. Hopefully, some cool HTC device will be available on Verizon by then.
