It would probably still cost more.

True, Bad ESN on a GSM phone that can be unlocked doesn't mean much

if you have an upgrade, you can prob get it under 300!

From how he asked I assumed he didn't have an upgrade available. And you can't get a $300 HTC One.

Was thinking the same but then reread it and figured it could be either

I have a 4s that I would sell

Should have been more clear. I need an unlocked phone to be used overseas. iPhone was great but got lost/stolen.. I'm willing to go a little higher if necessary - it's for my wife..

Nexus 4

Used galaxy nexus or nexus 4
Unlocked Lumia 900

do you mind if its factory refurbished?

ChikkyMonkey · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2013, 08:20:03 AM »

prefer new... Seems like nexus 4 is the consensus... is the S3 mini worth considering?

It had a removable battery.
That alone is a reason to consider.

Just a few days ago they announced the S4 mini, it should be about half the price of the gs4.
