Goodbye Hero, I'm gonna miss you - Hero CDMA General

So, in a few hours I will move on to the Evo. I wanted to take a moment to thank my Hero for introducing me to the best OS and to everyone here who helped me learn to make it my b*tch.
My Hero is looking forward to a new life with my bartender.. a more exciting life for sure.
See y'all in the Evo forum!

My hero... it's gonna be flashing up and down until October. My hero is my *****, and will be until my upgrade date. It's been through Clockwork(Mod), Darch(Droid), Light(Sensor)Bugs, Thick and thin(cases), and it will be for a while.

My hero is a ragged old whore now, and i am trying to convince my parents to buy my a evo for college lol hope it works out, if not, then im stuck with it for a loooong time.... like 2011

The RadioShack here only has 1 Evo, and if I wanted it I'd have to be at RadioShack with $500 right now.

Well I've seen $500 dollars on here....I've even seen $550 on the web for the EVO....but I just checked sprint.com and they are selling them regular price $449. That makes me smile just a bit

If there had been any doubt...

....in my mind about which phone I was going with next, sprint just made my decision a WHOLE lot easier. They just put up a brand-spankin' new 4G tower a block from my house. I think that should be close enough to get a clear signal, right?
Nice if you don't mind be asking where are you.
No towers near me (oakland county mi) and won't be buying a 4g phone until there is

Just so you know there is an extra $10 a month charge.
How can we find out where towers are?
-I'm in Round Rock, just north of Austin, Tx
-I might complain about paying sprint $80 per month IF I hadn't seen what Verizon gives you for $90. And on top of that, I'll be getting 4G, so I won't be complaining about any of it.
-in my case, I saw a dude in a truck, stopped to ask him what he was doing, and that is how i found out.

The stuff I drink will put hair on your chest, and then burn it off.
Lol, that's not a good quality in a vodka. Vodka is only 80 proof....at the most 100 proof. If you want real hair-raising spirits, come out to the Dewberry jam next spring, and I'll let you my friends 'shine. REAL moonshine, not the crap they sell in the stores. It tastes like 80 proof till it hits your stomach, and you better believe that a big mouth full of 180 proof HITS the stomach!
lol, $10 for 3 bottles of vodka? lol youre right, put hair in your chest from drinking it and your slobber will burn it off when you pass out. haha that thing has to be rough.

i dont really care too much about the 4g, i know its supposed to come to tampa soon in the next month or so (hopefully) but im getting the evo because of the phone that it is. I have wifi service wherever I go, whether at home or at school. I would rather not pay the extra 10 dollars and leave out the 4g seeing as how it also wastes more battery but not having a cap on usage is going to be nice as well. I intend on using the wifi tether on the road a lot...all in all i would still get the evo even if 4g wasnt coming to tampa. its a nasty phone and I cant wait to hold it in my hands come friday you should at least play with one after they come out...might change your mind

If I were richer than Donald Trump I wouldn't even let Motorola and Verizon take me for a ride like they hope to do come the 24th. Only a small minority of people who are foolish with their money are going to be purchasing this. Actual rich people are smart enough to do research on products they buy and wisely spend their money to get the best value for their buck. Thats how you get rich in the first place.

My Dell Streak 7 pretty much has the same specs as this thing..The Xoom...for $900 should have an I5 processor & 4gigs of ram...I mean come on now.

The technology required to put a i5 and 4gb of ram into a tablet would shoot the price of the device up towards the $2000* range!
* this amount is pure speculation and doesn't apply any real educated calculations based on OP or XDA. Please see your dealer for more options...
Pre-oder necessary?
Does anyone expect the Xoom to sell out day one? Most of the people I have mentioned the Xoom to has not even heard of it. I personally do not want to drive for an hour to BB, give away $880ish dollars (is this how the pre-order will even work?), and then turn around and go back to school. I am gonna spend like $30 bucks in gas all in all on this thing. (Which I guess in the scope of things, isn't that much.)

I doubt that it will sell out, but if you're gonna drive an hour to get one, I'd try to go early; Best Buy probably will only carry 5-10 per store and a few will be preorders for CRAZY early adopters like me.... It also depends on the area, I live in a smaller town, so I doubt we'll have any sell outs

Yeah, I will be going to the Montgomery, Al Bestbuy, which since it is the capital of Alabama, you would think they would have a larger stock... Well, back at home, I had access to three BB, one in Trussville, and 2 in Birmingham. The one on HWY 280 in B'ham had 100 iPads when they first came out. My friend (one of the managers) told me that they didn't sell a single one on the opening day! Then they sold them all in the following days and ran out of stock for the next several months... I plan on getting there right at or 15 min before the Montgomery store opens. (For pre-order) I could always get over sooner, but I am not sure I expect there to be a lot of crazy first adopters there.

If you're going to Pre-Order one on the 17th would that not lock in your order for pickup on the 24th? I'm just assuming that's how it is going to work, you pre-order, they set aside however many pre-orders they get, you go in and pickup on release day. Maybe I'm just thinking too logical, someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I saved the money for the XOOM and I don't care what others say, I'm getting one. So if I'm wrong someone please step up now and let me know what to expect. =)

It's a well known secret but now that it was put on blast on the main EVO 4G board, better call them quick before they remove the offer.
I can personally confirm I called that number (It's posted on a topic in the 3D EVO board) and they reset my upgrades for the full amount on both my lines. I became a Sprint member a few weeks after the EVOs launch. Just ask nicely. Don't be a douche. I gave them the line "I was expecting an full upgrade for my primarly line" The rep said she can definitely help with that and even offered to reset my girlfriend's line as well.
So in summary:
Full upgrades reset by said number
Preorder EVO 3D at Target mobile ($50 deposit)
Trade EVO 4G at Target mobile for $150
Get EVO 3D for $50 (Which was already paid with the preorder)
See you suckers on launch day. You snooze you lose.
Read the WIKI at that link for more Q&A stuff...but you guys can easily sell your EVOs for $200 - $300 on craigslist!
the deal looks legit but i won't be able to take advantage of it. i used my upgrade in may for the nexus, then returned it and got an evo instead last weekend. how many times can you exchange phones at best buy? i wouldn't mind using my upgrade on the 3d or another upcoming device like the gs2. i know i have 30 days to turn the phone back in.
im also expecting a call from dan's office at sprint tomorrow so ill wheel and deal them as well.

It won't hurt to try. Tell them you want to preorder the evo 3D because you were waiting for a better phone. Hence the return.

I only see a cheap way to get a 3d is if your do for a full upgrade and trade your evo in then you would get a 3d cheap. Sucks tho if your still under contract.
