Is this a good deal?

I currently am using the Samsung Rogue and don't like it all. I just got it this past February. Couldn't afford the data plan but now I can because I get a 20% off through my work. I wanted the Eris when I upgraded but again couldn't get the data plan. I have used the HTC 6900 and the Mogul and loved both phones.

So I found a Touch Pro 2 on my local CL for $250. I offered him my Xbox 360 pro with wired controller and 120 gig hard drive along with my Rogue. Is that a good deal?

His Touch Pro 2 comes with the charger, sync cable and a 4 gig SD card. He said it does have WM 6.5 and he said that I would be able to upgrade to the WM 7.

Is this a fair deal for me? I'm thinking about doing it. Only problem is the guy lives about 35 minutes away from me.

I guess if you really want the touch pro 2 it's a good deal but most likely windows phone 7 will not be on the touch pro 2 so if you really are looking forward to that, don't.. Also make sure you verify that the esn on the tp2 is good before you buy

From what I have read and heard about WM7 is that it won't work on our TP2's. Processor too slow and not enough memory. So I think the guy is pulling you leg on that part. Of course that doesn't mean someone won't port WM7 to the TP2, like they are doing with the Android.

I wouldn't do it, but that's just me. what is an xbox 360pro worth??? seems like a big thing to give up for a cellphone.

I am a PS3 fanboy and I still wouldn't do it. We swap out phones when we get bored of them or a new one comes out. A game system like a 360 or PS3 isn't worth trading for an item that is no longer cutting-edge.

Well I''m being forced to sell the 360 anyway. I have a 360 pro with a 120 gig hard drive and wired controller and no games. That package is only worth around 150 or so. I have it listed at $160 and I still can't get rid of it. I don't know how much my Rogue is worth so I dunno. So you guys are saying I should stick with my Rogue then?

Ahm..the Arcade is 150$..the Pro is like 250$..but that is for new...If anythig I'm sure you can get a cheap TP2 from ppl who swapped to an EVO >.>

The TP2 is NOT going to get a windows phone 7 upgrade. He was lying to you. The phone doesn't have enough ram, it doesn't have a fast enough processor, and it doesn't have a the right kind of screen. As far as the trade goes, I would offer him everything except for your old cellphone, unless you just want to get rid of it...

lol the balls on the guy who told u it would be upgradeable to wp7. not gonna happen. and it's not worth the trade imo either. xbox will still be going strong at the end of the year. smartphones are outdated 6 months to a year, and the tp2 already had an older cpu and less ram than stuff that started coming out soon after it. sprint will release a wp7 power phone by the end of the year. touch pro2 isn't worth getting anymore, unless you dont mind the slow speed and you really want wm6.5 over wp7.....

you missed the window imo. i got a tp2 at launch and love it, but i wouldn't get one now if i had to do it over today. too much coming too soon.
