lol I have that same feeling, any idea on RAM and Internal storage?

Do you really think that the store will sell out so you have to spend money pre ordering it?

well the first best buy I went was sold out so I just went to another and said F**K it and money is not an issue.

You do realize that the group of numbers right below the Val number is the transaction number? Which means any best buy employee can go print a duplicate receipt and claim it as their own? Just an FYI.

By the way, I totally pre-ordered my EVO. Can't wait for it!

I canceled my Best Buy preorder after learning they were charging $600 for the contract-free version, so I'm waiting to order one at my local Sprint store when they start taking names.

Where did you learn that, if you don't mind me asking??
EDIT: OK, I found the thread on Android Forums where some guy claims he had supposed phone conversations with 3 different BB employees at 3 different BB stores and that they all said $600. I'm sorry, I just don't believe it! Even if it is true (which I doubt) I can easily cash in my $50 BB gift card and walk 100 yards to the Sprint store to buy it for $450.
Are you sure that guy doesn't work for Sprint or Radio Shack?

did not know that but thank you for the tip, much appreciated!!

How much should you pay for the pre-order?
199? or full price?

OK, I take it back. I was just made aware of the fact that Best Buy is charging $599 for unsubsidized Heros.
Sprint only only charges $429.
I also just noticed (in the fine print) that the $50 Best Buy gift card is NOT redeemable for cash.

Were you able to get your money back from Best Buy when you canceled it? Do you know if there is a time limit for canceling? Does anyone know when Sprint will do preorders for the Evo? I ask because I just made my preorder today at BB and realized afterward they will steal $150 from me (it's not stealing, it's Capitalism which I'm all for, it still sucks though) and want to avoid that if at all possible.

i preordered in bestbuy but on my receipt it said to pick it up on june 5th?anyone else?

I made the stupid mistake of creating $300 in gift cards to help budget for this. If I get stuck having to pay another 300 there will be problems. They're going to adjust my price or refund my money.

As I understand it, you can use the gift card towards the price of the phone. Just pre-ordered mine today too.

I went in and they instantly gave me cash (paid with debit). I'm sure that you'd be fine getting a refund all the way until June. Just tell them that you don't want a marked up phone, and they hadn't released the price when you paid.

For You Xoom owners

Im thinking of crossing the border tomorrow to Buffalo and pick up a Xoom to bring back... but my question is, I know its not gonna work with our networks here but I'm mainly going to be using it over WiFi and hoping to tether using my Desire HD.
Questions:
1) Is it true I need to activate the WiFi by signing up for data plan? If so, is there a way around it?
2) Can I just go to Best Buy or Verizon and purchase the device straight up?
Your answers will determine how my plans for morning will be tomorrow... =)

Activation is not required for wifi. If you convince them you don't want to activate it, you can get away with it.

No, you don't have to activate the data plan, Best Buy was the only one saying that, and they backed off on it.
You can go and just outright buy one, yes.

Not true. I bought mine there and although he said I needed to, I told him that Engadget and other sites confirmed that Verizon backed off of this requirement. He made a few calls and confirmed that is the case and I walked out without any Verizon service.

It depends on the store. The Costco I bought mine from said I had to activate it. I told them that Verizon didn't require it and they said it's Costco's policy, which it is. This will vary store to store for Costco and Best Buy, depending on who is sticking to the corporate policy.
My advice is to go to Verizon. They are the only store that has said on a corporate level that they don't require activation.

Yep, I also picked up mine at Best Buy and wasn't required to activate it. I did though through my local Vzw store and to get my 25% Discount on accessories.

This is some great info guys.. Buffalo is pretty limited in terms of options and so far I've only seen 2 Best Buys in the area I go to. Good to know I got CostCo and Verizon as an option.

I am not a Costco expert on policies but I do not believe this has anything to do with Costco. I think it is the Verizon reps not knowing what they are doing. I could be wrong but like you said, go elsewhere if you need to but Costco has the best return policy out there so it is worth the fight.

It has nothing to do with Costco or Best Buy policy -- they both follow Verizon's corporate policy, which was originally going to be that you had to activate a data package to purchase the device.
But due to customer blowback, Verizon's policy changed on the day of release. However, they did an incredibly horrendous job disseminating that information to sales staff -- both at corporate Verizon stores and at resellers like Best Buy.
For example, yesterday afternoon, I called a corporate Verizon Wireless store directly and they absolutely insisted activation was required.
Then I called VZW's toll-free number and they confirmed it wasn't. I asked them to talk to the store, they did, and I was able to purchase a device activation-free.
Bottom line, this isn't a matter of places following their own policy, it's a matter of places not yet knowing the policy has changed. Give it a couple of days, and I'm sure the problem will go away.

The guy at my Costco called his regional managers and a few minutes later received a corporate email saying their policy was unchanged, activation was still required. It may have varied in a few cases, but I went to 2 stores with the same results.

Find the info (Google it) from reputable sites and take it with you to Costco and make sure the Verizon rep tells the person on the other side the links to the article(s). Engadget was one of the first sites to post the change. It is a complete fact that activation on Verizon is no longer required anywhere. Again, it is worth it to buy at Costco with the return policy so if it were me, I would keep pressing it.

Costco in my area required it as well. I got mines from Best Buy.

EVO prices on eBay?

I've got 3 EVOs I would like to sell and was wondering how much can I expect to sell these for on eBay? They are in almost mint condition and all 3 have been rooted. Two of them are hardware 003 and the other is 004.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

Maybe 250 and up. Depending what u throw in there and how low u want to sell them for. How much were u thinking bout selling them each?

Even ebay has a search function

EVO's from sprint are still $450 plus tax = 480.. and on ebay they usually sell around those prices if their new.. being the fact that yours isn't you should drop the price but around $250 would be cheating yourself

Search for HTC Evo on ebay, and under your search options on the side when the results come up is an option show "Completed listings" check this and it'll show you auctions that have recently ended. This way you can get an idea of how much they will sell for...

Thanks... I did that and on average, they sell for low to mid 300s. I think it's good, because I will be able to pay for the ETFs and still have some leftover money.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

I've sold quite a few phones over the years. One thing is don't set your initial price too high, it'll cause lots of people to wait till the last minute to bid, and they don't get their thrill of outbidding other people, or they're less likely to pay attention. Pictures, pictures, pictures. The more pictures showing the shape of your phone the better (well mostly if it's in great shape). If you've kept them in a case and screen protectors the whole time you've had them mention that, it lets people know you cared for them. You will most likely have to pay off your early termination fee before anyone else can activate those phones so be ready for that.

I forgot to mention that's good to give them the option of leaving it rooted or not. You can double check with Sprint that your ESN is free and clear before shipping, but make sure you write down those numbers on the phone, just in case the buyer gets it and it happened to me with my Pre, they were told that the ESN was locked. It took an hour on the phone with Sprint from me. At first the buyer thought I swindled him, but I assured him that wasn't the case and I would work it out with Sprint for him. I even had Sprint do a conference call with me and him on the line. Hopefully you don't come to that, mine was some fluke that left the phone as showing activated in the system yet Sprint couldn't find where it was activated.

just search completed auctions that is the best way to get an idea what to expect.
you'd probably be better off selling it on craigslist though, no fees, straight cash, and yo don't have to worry about idiots filing paypal chargebacks claiming something is wrong with the phone.

The craigslist route ain't bad cuz you can even meet them at a Sprint store and they can pay you while you're there for them to activate it, but even though it's free, depending on where you live you will have a smaller market to sell to. If I remember correctly you're leaving Sprint cuz of issues in your area, so your market may not be the best market to sell a Sprint device too. You pay ebay a percentage because they created a system and site that gets your auction looked at by the largest amount of people you can.
I live in Southern California so the local craigslist market is quite large to keep prices fairly close to ebay prices, but it may not be the same for you in Virginia, plus having to deal with all the individual answering of emails and people low balling you will probably not be worth the 8% cut you have to give Ebay.

the ebay and paypal fees are far more than 8%. list your item on craigslist or even ebay classifieds and if you can't get the price you want then put it on ebay.

http://www.ebcalc.com for fees calculation..
On a $300 item, figure ~$40 in fees (including ebay, paypal, shipping). That's ~13%. If you sell it through the forum, you save on ebay fees ($22 on a $300 sale).
Also, don't skimp on shipping when you send this. If you're using usps, at least get signature confirmation if you don't opt for insurance.
If you ship ups... well, don't you'll get raped. If you ship fedex home/ground, it's cheaper if it goes to a business location, and if you want signature (paypal requires this on over $250 sales for seller protection), insure the item for $500, it'll automatically add signature required for free.

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.

yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

No they don't. They sell products and services at a certain price. Don't want "screwed"? Don't buy said product or services.

I got boned by vzw. I did po on 27th (before it offically opened in 28) and they messed up my order somehow. By the time the reached out to me to fix it - it was after 3pm so mine did not go out like everyone else's so mine will come 1 maybe 2 days late now. It took 1,5hrs & 3 people to fix the issue. Why? Because I ordered & paid full retail and that threw all of vzw into a loop they couldn't rectify.
I did eek a $25 credit out of them for all of the hassle. So I suppose that is some consolation - but I'd rather have the phone Monday given my schedule.

Now companies do get us alot but take forever to fix their mistakes but the last T-Mobile rep really took care of me credited me back the overnight shipping cost and even waived the 60 tax for the phone itself so yes if I end up getting two on Monday I will return one. She will be the one that saved them from me being devious if i do get two phones because the first 15 reps that I spoke to (and I do mean 15) lied and told me it was )a. On the truck for delivery or )b. It was same day shipping and delivery (I knew that was a lie). So they will screw you if you let them or don't catch them. Consistency with them is key I guess.

I got mine next day, but the package was cut open....phone was in and sealed so all is well...the return shipping bubble bag for my note edge for jump was missing tho

I didn't get a return bag either. I went to the local t-mobile store and they have me the bubble wrap and a new envelope

I called customer care cause tge part in the instructions that said "failure to use enclosed bag may result in denial"... They said as long as the return label is used and phone well padded its ok, id suggest if anyone else has this issue and they use their own box to call CC and have them note on ur account

No they don't. They sell products and services at a certain price. Don't want "screwed"? Don't buy said product or services.
I'm betting you're the type of person to find a wallet, remove cash, then return it or throw it back on the ground.

Right, like Verizon isn't screwing us when they took away our subsidized phones on unlimited data plans, which was one of the reasons we got that plan in the first place. Then you have other carriers that throttle data use after you sign up without being told about throttling. Believe me, carriers screw customers over all the time.
There is a huge difference between your two examples. T-Mobile likely has some sort of insurance for lost packages anyways.

I worked for Verizon as tech for 4 years and can tell you first hand they are greedy bastards. Their top management is rude and arrogant always competing for #1 positions at the cost of their employees and customers. I saw people get fired every month for bs stuff.
Also all they care is about the high earning customer who can pay that $500 a month cell bill and want to squeeze every last penny out of them. Sadly they do and get away with it and lock them in for 2 year contracts.

Ordered it yesterday they shipped it overnight and I get a message today that UPS is trying to locate it. UPS and Tmobile are pointing fingers at each other. One company said they shipped it another one said they never picked up the package. Can You Guess Who Is Who? Took me 16 calls to tmobile for them to finally put in a lost item ticket and ship me another one over night. So now it'll be here on Monday!!! Maan I wanted to play with my new toy over the weekend. Good things come to those who wait I guess.:crying:

Everytime I order something like my g4 as I'm tracking the phone through ups I always fear that the phone will get lost or just not show up.... But it did. Wooo hooo. I took it up to BestBuy and some phone Stores to try to get a case for it. they're looking at me like WTF we ain't even got that phone yet how the hell if you get it.
