My EVO was stolen...

And I'm eligible for an upgrade, get the Epic, or wait for the holiday season for better phones?

Thanks for the kind response, douchebag.

Why don't you just replace the EVO with an ....... EVO!! It's an awesome phone. Somebody obviously likes it more than you!!!

you're an asshole.
That sucks OP. perhaps a police report? is there any hope of recovery? P.S. my vote is another evo. with all the work the XDA devs are doing it's only going to get more awesome

I'm a douchebag? How do you get a phone stolen...
Sent from my Evo, using the xda app

Definitely get another Evo, unless you want a physical keyboard. I'd be very surprised if Sprint cannibalizes the Evo & Epic that quickly (before the holiday season).
I don't know what's scheduled to be released, but I'd be surprised if Sprint adds anything Android better than a non-4G, 1GHz, 3.7" screen by then.

Stuff gets stolen all the time, even phones. Sometimes, people even break windows to get into locked cars and houses! GASP!
They even have a word for it. It's called . . . wait for it . . . "STEALING!"

MY question is how are you eligible for an upgrade already? Is it another line on your account? I would say the Epic looks pretty amazing though I have heard mixed reviews on the Super AMOLED screens outside. And yeah I work at a Sprint store I haven't heard anything about any amazing new phone coming out by the holidays.

i almost got my phone stolen, some little turd stole it from my belt clip, a friend and I chased him around the projects until he was too tired to keep running, and tried to duck into his apartment building. at which time my phone was returned. thankfully with out much more hassle.
stuff happens.
to the OP. unless you were unhappy with the evo, id say get another. sorry about the stolen phone

MOD EDIT: Watch The Language!

get another evo and go buy wavesecure, its 20% off right now anyway. then try to get the same person to steal it and use wavesecure to find both, then you have two evos

This is everyone's one and only warning, Be Nice, and don't call anyone names.
I have removed the actual curse words but I'm leaving the disparaging name calling.
Next person who contributes nothing to this thread, name calling or inappropriate language will get further punishment, up to and including and temporary ban from XDA.
Play Nice.

Only thing Epic has going for it is the Camera and keyboard... I don't like the UI at all... played with one a day ago, and it just didn't compare to a 2.2 evo sluggish really.. play with one before you get it.

maybe when it's in reference to a person.
OP: pay the $100 for the evo, sell it to recoup the initial and some of the insurance cost, and get the epic, since you're probably going to get it anyway. even though you'll have to spend $100 up front (or in your bill), you will be able to recover some of the money you initially spent on the original device. there's no use in not doing so if you have insurance. i would do it even if i had a touch pro. I sold mine for $150 a week ago. you aren't defrauding anyone if your phone actually got stolen.

thanks for sharing, in case anyone else gets in a situation to get buffaloed by that douchebag, good lookin out.

With any luck, the spambots everywhere will pickup his address and spam the crap out that address (making it past his filter too) at least.

as much as a travesty this story is....
maybe you shouldn't let craigslist retards bother you so much that you post on another site about it

I like how he tried to use his email address to establish some form of credibility. Congrats dude, you were the SECOND person who tried to get unlockwireless from gmail, either that you you just suck at spelling. How about you put enough effort into registering your own domain first, then maaaaaybe some people will take you seriously.. but judging by the way you speak to others I find that highly unlikely.

Call me old fashioned, but.....
Why would you talk to a stranger like that?
You must have known after his second email that you weren't going to be selling it to him. Why not take the higher road, wish him a good day, and end it there?

Maybe we should all send him email asking him how much he's selling Vibrants....I bet over 300!

Scrizz, I really would of expected more from you..
Really think next time.. Ok, so this is what you do
1.) Tell him "Ok, $150 sounds good" (After he shuts up)
2.) Meet Him
3.) *POW* "Does that look like a $150 phone?!?!"
4.) Walk away and wait for more replies.

Way too quiet. Flash mob anyone?

Sprint and Samsung both have been very quiet since their last "ASAP" tweets and posts. They are either keeping their heads down to avoid getting them chewed off by all of the angry people or they are hoping that if they don't mention the E*ic or F*oyo words that people will just forget.
I wish I knew someone at The Onion because a great story would be, "Egyptian riots linked to angry Epic 4G owners demanding Froyo."
Another great idea would be an "Epic Flash Mob" on February 7th to go along with their big announcement.

Because we have better things to do than send tweets, facebook posts and emails to Sprint and Samsung over an update that we will get when they are ready to give it to us. Our phones are working just fine without 2.2. And once we do get 2.2...most of you will just start *****ing about 2.3.
Maybe you should all just get rid of your Epics...move over to an EVO and continue on with your lives. The devs here have done a wonderful job with the DK28 build and I couldnt be happier.

This is a fantastic phone. I used to have a Nexus One with T-Mobile. I had FroYo before my fellow nerd friends had even heard of it. I rubbed it in a lot until they started getting the updates on their Droids and EVOs and such.
This phone blows that thing out of the water, even without 2.2
Besides, there IS a way to update this phone to 2.2... what is stopping you if you want it so bad?

Agreed this phone blows any other phone out of the water without Froyo but even if we update this phone with the custom ROMS you still see that most developers would love to have the latest firmware and not just DK28.

Know a little inside info on the annoucement from Sprint Vendor :) Feb 7th

Okay guys don't troll me here but I did find out a little bit about the announcement. Okay, it's a new 4g phone, that runs android...may seem short or like I didn't give you any information but this is what it is. So, let's hope it's an HTC device that does something amazing hopefully...once again, please no trolling just passing on the info I received from my store when the Sprint vendor came in to setup a display at the mobile store in my store.

sweet. a phone not a tablet!

I highly doubt a Sprint tech at a random store knows anything about the February 7th announcement.

Actually, realistically, retooling the iphone for Sprint would take minimal effort. No iphone is or ever will be branded, so basically the Verizon one is simply a "cdma iphone" programmed for Verizon. I'm not HOPING for this as the announcement, as I actually switched to android from an iphone, and I'm happy I did, so I don't care either way about a Sprint i-turd. Just saying it would take very little to do it.

iPhone working on Sprint...watch and tell me what you think

So I came across this vid on youtube and was wondering what you guys this. I think this guy is a big a$$ d bag and just trying to get people to sign up for his ****.
He has another one up on youtube where he puts his EVO ESN on the iphone via an app and said he activated it on Sprint. I know you can just change that carrier name if you jailbreak it pretty easy, but when he dials *2 that gets you thinking a little bit.
I'll try and find that other vid and post that.
I think its a load of ****, but just maybe it's possible.
Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXx6kLsVs1w
Edit...found the other vid where he changes the ESN supposedly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Przbw2iJnA&feature=related

I've seen those videos too. It really makes you wonder when he dials *2. I wish I had the extra cash to buy an iPhone 4 and try it.

Yeah def same here.

I was thinking to save money can't we just get a verizon iphone 4 with a bad esn?

I call bs.*2 could be what he named Sprints cs #
Sent from the Evo

Basically he's cloned the esn number off of the sprint phone, though 'technically' illeggal, still cool. Though under the same principle youd do it with almost any phone if you know how to chnage its particular esn number.

Wasn't the ESN change the idea people had back in the early Evo days to try to get their Evo on Verizon? I think one or two people around here claimed they did it, acted all smug. Then they probably got their first bill and realized they weren't so smart after all.

so does anyone happen to have access to a verizon iphone that would be willing to try this?

I believe this is legit, some guys a local phone store near me claim they can do this and it works. I dont have an iphone myself but its very possible to clone an esn and get this working. It shouldnt matter if the verizon esn is bad because you would be taking it from your current phone.

Then throw GB on it for good measure, to make it a worthwhile phone.

Sure, why not? My friends 3GS was running FroYo for a few months before he decided to get an actual Android phone. He went with a Dinc2.

It's all a cat&mouse game with a few lawsuits tossed in.

I heard you will need the verizon iphone's msl so you can get into the programming settings to get data working and sms etc. Idk much about it myself but multiple people claim they got it working. How could it be that all these peolpe are just being assholes and faking it lol. Who knows! Try it out, you'll need to be jailbroken so you can ssh!

If this is verified how many people are going to go out and buy a VZW iP4?

Count me in! I found some cheap ones with bad esn's like new as low as 280 (craigslist)! It wont matter if the verizon esn is bad because you would be cloning you sprint one anyways.

Well mine has Been jailbroken since day one. If I can get it to work on sprint then I'm selling it lol. I don't like the iPhone, only have it cuz it was free and it has a good battery lol
