i am selling a pannasonic allure cell phone.. it has an extra battery... home charger and leather case the battery alone is worth $60 new.. it is a tdma phone.. if you want to read specs on it go to pannasonic.com.. or if you want to see accual pics of the phone contact me..
i would like to get 150 out of it but any offer will be considered
ohh yea.. it is the titanium one.. not the white silver

I'll give ya what it's worth - $40 shipped.

how do you figure its worth 40..... go into a cell phone store and tell them you want to buy a pannasonic allure... the cost will be around $120 new the leather case will cost you 20 new and the battery will cost you 60 new that is a total of 200 for all that... i think 150 is reasonable.. the extra battery is new it has been used about 1 week...

BTW:
i worked at a cell phone store for over a year up until about a month ago... i know the prices

I work at a cellphone store now, and I know the Allure has echo problems and meager battery life. Plus there are many more phones with more features, and a MUCH larger screen.

Sorry to slam your post, but $150 is rediculious, especially if it's used. I can get a brand new one for $80 plus tax - not like I'd want to spend that much on it anyway - I wont use anything BUT a Nokia. Good luck with your sale!

accauly there arent many TDMA phones on the market that beat the value of the allure.... as far as echo problems i highly doubt that.. i have used just about all of the TDMA phones out right now and this one is my favorite it also offers many more features than most TDMA phones including the nokia phones.. and the battery life is equal if not greater than many of the phones out.. this is not a heard from the grapevine opinion it is my personal experence.. as far as getting a new one with an extra battery for 80 jump on it that is a great deal i have never seen them sell that cheap....
unless of corse you are getting it activated or signing a contract. as far as out right cost.. that would be under company cost

what would you guys say a samsung a460 is worth?

200sx se-r-t · 12-19-2002, 09:13 PM

no clue i only know TDMA phones well

a brand new allure sells for $129.99 with one year contract. since he obviously cant sign you up on a contract, it would be $162 without contract. leather cases are $24.99. comes with a home charger, so that isnt an added value.

now, for people who have an ATT account and dont qualify for a new phone (there is a 2 phone per year max, and you dont qualify for one year contract pricing until after 6 months) this could be a screaming deal.

i have never heard of an echo problem, though the speaker phone mode sounds like crap, and is too quiet. if you are having an echo problem, turn the volume of the earpiece down, as it may be loud enough for the microphone to pick up, and send the caller's voice back to them (all wireless phones have delays times between transmission and retrieval, and any phone turned up too loud can have this "echo" problem). the battery is only useless when in analog mode, which uses more battery time due to the way it transmits (if you want to know how, PM me, as it would suck up all the bandwidth we have available here) and the size of the battery. in digital mode, which you are very unlikely to leave, it has more battery time than someone who is complaining about phone price has a rate plane for. basically, you would run out of rate plan minutes long before you ran out of battery time.

me, i think the allure is a great phone. i would say it is worth approx $100 or so.

oh, and i am a direct employee of ATT Wireless itself, FWIW.

thank you for your imput... i agree with you on all points covered.. and 100 is a good price but you forgot to include the new battery

thanks again

oh yea and i forgot to include.. this is a universal TDMA cell phone the soc code is not locked.. it can be used wiht any TDMA market provider

Well we give the allure away for free with activation. I think about 40-50 bucks is a good price if someone just wants to buy it. There is a reason he has 2 batteries for the thing, Panasonics are notorious for their battery life.

Rockwood · 02-02-2003, 03:49 PM

only in analog mode. i used that phone for a while on my employee plan (free and unlimited) and i only needed to charge it once every 1 or 2 days. i use about 3000 minutes in a month. i would hardly call it a limited battery, and most people dont even have enough minutes in their plan to consistently drain the battery every day.

EvilEgg62 · 02-12-2003, 10:49 PM
