Whats a G800 worth?

[5to1]

Vodafone are offering me one as upgrade, don't see many about so have no idea on value. The cheapest I see on ebay is £400 incl shipping.

Is this realistic?

Also would what would an N95 8GB be worth, my try to be a bit cheeky and ask for one of those.

Thanks for advice.

P.S. Only interested in resale value and ease of sale. I dont care about the pro's and cons of the phones as I have no intention in keeping them.

I think that people selling at that price are very hopeful. Phone only just released, and currently only available from Vodafone as an upgrade. Spoke to Samsung and they suggested Carphone Warehouse in about 2 weeks time for SIM Free and unlocked, which ties in to page on Expansys, who are always over priced and are estimating selling at £310 - and estimating 14th December. See http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=159676

If it is locked to Vodafone you should expect less than SIM free in my opinion.

Sorry, but hope that helps... If you tell me what you want for it in a PM - I may be interested, but would need to then get it unlocked myself.

Thanks & regards,

Thanks, I think it mayb be unlocked from Voda actually.

Otherwise I can always unlock myself.

I don't think I can PM sales etc, would be against the rules. Once it arrives i'll start a for sale thread and PM a link to that.

I've tagged a few in Ebay and they all look like they will top £300, (£265/14hrs left, £205/15 hrs left, 215/~2 days left, etc), so worst case could give it a shot on there.

Think £400 is probably too steep, though.

Thanks mate, that helps.

If it comes Sim Free from Voda, then I guess I could stick it up for the same price, as otherwise you'd be waiting 3 weeks?
