Here's an idea of what you can get for your money as of today in the world of Windows Phone - I'll list the price range and then the condition you can expect the phone to be in. An idea of condition would be - Poor means lots of scratches or some features not working, Fair means regular to heavy use, Good means few scratches, and Excellent means phone is either brand new or looks like it could be brand new. I would never buy a phone with a cracked screen, so that's not what I'm listing here :
Under $100 :
Samsung Focus (Fair)
Samsung Focus Flash (Fair)
Dell Venue Pro (Fair)
HTC Surround (Fair)
LG Quantum (Fair)
HTC Arrive (Fair)
HTC HD7 (Poor/Fair)
HTC HD7S (Poor/Fair)
$100 - $150 :
Samsung Focus (Excellent/New)
Samsung Focus Flash (New In Box)
Samsung Focus 2 (Poor/Fair)
HTC Radar (Good)
Nokia Lumia 710 (Good)
Dell Venue Pro (New In Box)
HTC Surround (Excellent/New)
LG Quantum (Excellent/New)
HTC Arrive (Excellent)
HTC HD7 (Excellent/New)
HTC HD7S (Excellent/New)
$150 - $200:
Samsung Focus 2 (Excellent)
HTC Titan (Excellent)
HTC Radar (New/Excellent)
Nokia Lumia 710 (New in box)
Nokia Lumia 900 (Good/Excellent)
$200 - $250:
HTC Titan (New In Box)
HTC Titan II (Good/Excellent)
Samsung Focus 2 (New In Box)
Nokia Lumia 900 (Excellent/New In Box)
I hope this helps someone decide either what their phone is worth or what phone they can afford if they want to buy off contract. Please comment or disagree and let me know any phones I may have missed. I didn't list international phones (or the Lumia 800) because I only really follow US prices and I didn't list oddball phones like the Batman Nokia 900 or the Jil Sander LG phone because those are rare and rare items never follow a value trend. Thanks.
